It is also sturdy, and it has an ergonomic, plastic handle. Marilyn Ong, Wirecutter’s senior kitchen editor, has been using hers for two summers and the steam helps to soften any leftover food This abrasive block of pumice can remove rust and corrosion from a griddle that’s been left out in the elements To restore a grill that’s been rusted or corroded consider using a grill stone — a block of coarse pumice stone (yep the same material that’s used for exfoliation) we found that grill stones work best when they’re run under water before they’re used on a hot grill but they can also be used dry and on cool grills Although a grill stone’s wide, flat surface works well on griddles, we found that this wasn’t the most effective way to clean cast-iron or stainless steel grill grates. A grill stone is meant to mold to the shape of your grill grates. But it requires outsize effort over several cleaning sessions to get it there, even with heat and water. During testing, we also found that the grill stone left dust and debris on the grates. So after you use your grill, we recommend that you wipe it with a wet rag or one of the other wire-grill-brush alternatives on this list. This article was edited by Megan Beauchamp and Katie Okamoto.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - In an effort to combat dangerous wildfires as temperatures start to rise, beginning Thursday, May 1 through July 31, the Palm Springs Fire Department will begin annual brush removal of 87 acres that cover 27 potential wildfires zones, determined by a recent Cal Fire fire hazard severity map Removal started in the Little Tuscany neighborhood, which officials say has seen the most brush fires in Palm Springs. Just last year, News Channel 3 reported on a fire on the hillside near the community “This is one of my most impacted areas by brushfires so it makes sense as fire chief to get after the area that we’ve had the most fires.”  Firefighters and City workers will spend the next few months trimming trees and removing potentially hazardous brush that could spark a wildfire the Palm Springs Fire Department will begin public education asking residents who live in wildfire zones to help clear hazardous brush from 1,254 residential lots located in neighborhoods on the west and south sides of the city Luis Avila joined KESQ News Channel 3 as a multimedia journalist in June 2024.
