The scratch is quite spicy, but takes on a smooth griddle still not all the radicals with. For 1 point deduction. Brass brush scrubs properly from the leftovers from grill. Whether greasy or solid. Cleaning the brush I'm just a little water and detergent. Thus the coarsest Schmodder goes down. That's enough, is quick and does little work. The cooking grate (cast iron) so you get definitely quick and easy clean. A griddle you have been thoroughly wipe with paper towels.
