I get a spray bottle of cleaner from SAMS CLUB..It is a restaurant and stove cleaner..simply spray on and the crud dissolves....then rinse off,,,not much hard scrubbing done at all...It comes in a pac of 3 bottles..the name is PROFORCE, grill,oven,burner cleaner....a little bit goes a long way..I bought mine last fall and am just about to start the 2nd bottle....Its the best I ever used
