- Argentine outlets on Feb. 27 published step-by-step explainers detailing the simple pre-grill method.
- Recommended procedure: heat the grill, keep flames low, hold a natural cork with tongs, rub each bar, wipe residues, and optionally finish with a swipe of lemon.
- Reported benefits include dislodging stuck-on bits, absorbing surface grease, reducing meat sticking, and curbing excess smoke.
- Safety guidance stresses using only natural cork, avoiding synthetics that can melt, and handling the piece with tongs to prevent burns.
- Coverage emphasizes that the trick aids quick maintenance before cooking but does not replace a steel brush for heavy buildup.
