GRILL BRUSH
A grill brush includes a grill brush member that includes a material having a surface with properties to scrape residue off a grill and a cellular end member at either end of the grill brush member. The cellular end members include properties that absorb moisture and residue that are scraped off by the grill brush member.
The barbecue grill offers a method of cooking food utilizing different techniques such as smoking, roasting, braising and grilling, that result in unique flavors and textures which may not be easily duplicated in a traditional kitchen.
The accompanying drawings illustrate various implementations of the principles described herein and are a part of the specification. The illustrated implementations are merely examples and do not limit the scope of the claims.
Throughout the drawings, identical reference numbers designate similar, but not necessarily identical, elements.
DETAILED DESCRIPTIONThe following describes a grill brush that is used on a grill. Barbecue grilling may be used for a relaxing and entertaining social activity that often brings family and friends together for enjoyable gatherings. The barbecue grill also offers a method of cooking food utilizing different techniques such as smoking, roasting, braising and grilling, that result in unique flavors and textures which may not be easily duplicated in a traditional kitchen. A barbecue grill includes a flame or heat source to cook the food. The food itself is placed on a grate that sits over the flame or heat source.
However, barbecue grilling is not without its disadvantages and inconveniences. During the grilling process, food particles, charred debris, food residue, and grease may tend to accumulate on the grill grates. Unsanitary barbecue grill grates can contain material with disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and sometimes carcinogens. Therefore, frequent cleaning to remove deposits and residues is necessary to maintain a clean cooking surface. In addition, regular maintenance tends to increase the integrity and life span of grill grates. The following grill brush provides several advantages and is disposable such that unsanitary material is thrown away along with the grill brush.
An example grill brush includes a grill brush member with a material on a front side of the grill brush member. The material includes a surface with properties to scrape residue off a grill grate. A cellular end member is located at either end of the grill brush member. The cellular end member includes properties that absorb moisture and residue that are scraped off by the grill brush member.
Another example grill brush includes a grill brush member. A material is located on one side of the grill brush member to align with the back side of the grill brush. The material includes a surface with properties to scrape residue off a grill grate. A cellular end member is located at either end of the grill brush member. The cellular end member includes properties that absorb moisture from residue that is scraped off by the grill brush member. A handle is removably attached to a back side of the grill brush member.
In another example, a grill brush includes a rectangular holder having a generally flat surface. A corrugated material is attached to the flat surface of the holder. A cellular end member is attached at either end of the flat surface of the holder on either side of the corrugated material. The cellular end member includes properties that absorb moisture from residue that is scraped off by the grill brush member. A handle is attached to a back side of the grill brush member. The grill brush in claim 1, wherein the material on the one side of the grill brush member is corrugated.

As shown, the holder 110 includes a fastening component 112.
In another example, the holder 110 is attached directly to the material 104 and the cellular end members 106-1, -2.

In an example, the material 104 is sharply bent back and forth s to define sharp creases on outward facing folded edges. In another example, and as shown, the material 104 is folded with rounded or curved creases on outer facing folds. In other examples, the material 104 includes both sharp bends as well as curved folds. Other examples include that the material comprises bristles or bristle-like members that extend straight out or are angled outward from a side of the holder 110 or handle 108. The material 104 may include metal, plastic, or a combination thereof.
In an example, the material 104 and cellular end members 106-1, -2 include properties that make them durable for up to ten uses or more. In an example, these properties of the material 104 and cellular end members 106-1, -2 include that the material does not break down, chip, crack, or melt. In an example, the material 104 and cellular end members 106-1, -2 comprise a high heat plastic, metal, or combination thereof. The material 104 further includes properties of being rigid and stiff. In another example, the material 104 is pliable and resilient. In another example, the material 104 and cellular end members 106-1, -2 comprise properties that allow them to withstand a relatively high heat, namely, a heat of 500 F. In an example, the material 104 and cellular end members 106-1, -2 withstand a temperature higher than 500 F. The material 104 may include properties of being rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible. The cellular end members 106-1, -2 may include properties that include being porous or absorptive, or at least having an absorptive-like effect that allows residue to accumulate on the outer surface or within the folds of the material 104 and cellular end members 106-1, -2. In an example, the cellular end members 106-1, -2 include sponges, or include sponge-like properties.
The dimensions of the grill brush member 102 may vary. For example, the cellular end members 106-1, -2 may have a thickness greater than or equal to the thickness of the material 104. In another example, each of the cellular end members 106-1, -2 are the same length or less than the length of the material. Also, the cellular end members 106-1, -2 may have the same width or less than a width of the material 104. As shown, the cellular end members 106-1, -2 are located on both ends of the holder 110, with the handle 108 attached to a central location on the back side of the holder 110.
