Grill grates take on seasoning similar to cast-iron cookware, but that doesn’t mean you should let food and grease sit on them. While you won’t need harsh soaps, you should give your outdoor cooking unit a surface clean after every use and a deep clean every few weeks.

Energy drinks can contain anywhere from 80 to 400 milligrams or more of caffeine per can, along with sugar and other stimulants that may affect the heart and blood vessels.
Research cited by a UTHealth Houston cardiologist found that a large energy drink can impair blood vessels ability to expand within just 90 minutes.
Healthy adults should keep total caffeine consumption below 400 milligrams a day, while children, teens, and certain higher-risk adults should avoid energy drinks, according toa cardiologist.
That energy drink promising to get you through an afternoon slump may do more than make you feel awake.
Energy drinks typically combine caffeine with sugar and ingredients such as taurine, guarana, ginseng, and B vitamins. While that mixture can temporarily increase alertness, it can also raise heart rate and blood pressure and affect how blood vessels function, according to Dr. John Higgins, a professor of medicine and sports cardiology at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston.
Caffeine works by blocking adenosine, a chemical in the brain involved in making us feel tired. Its effects can kick in within 30 to 120 minutes and persist for hours, depending on factors such as genetics and a person's tolerance to caffeine.
Some energy drinks also pack a significant amount of sugar 50 grams or more in a single can, according to Higgins. That can contribute to a short-lived energy boost followed by a crash.
The ingredients aren't always straightforward
Consumers looking at the label may find more than caffeine.
Guarana and yerba mate, for example, can add additional caffeine. Other ingredients can include taurine and stimulants such as yohimbine, which Higgins says may increase anxiety, blood pressure, and the risk of heart rhythm problems.
Proprietary blends can make it more difficult to determine exactly how much of an individual ingredient a drink contains because manufacturers may disclose the combined weight of several ingredients rather than the amount of each one.
And those enormous doses of B vitamins advertised on some cans aren't necessarily providing extra energy. Higgins says taking far more than the recommended daily amount won't produce additional energy in someone who isn't deficient.
Your blood vessels may react quickly
The potential cardiovascular effects are one of the bigger concerns.
