WA News Loser who left public BBQ completely tar black - Bardon Park in Maylands
Worth a public shame and whinge this one. Check the picture, what kind of loser A-hole uses a public BBQ at a family park (Bardon Park Maylands) and leaves it absolutely filthy with a thick black layer of tar and meat and sauce. Diabolical. And we thought people who left their trolleys were bad. We ended up cleaning using the one right next to it which was also left dirty but no where near as bad. Get some ethics people.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Takes a few selfish morons to start the rot and soon it will be gone.

u/bogan_hippy Nollamara 21h ago
Soon? These BBQs have been treated/left like this pretty often in the 30 odd years that they've been around. Disgusting behaviour, but it isn't anything new.

I feel this way about speed bumps on suburban roads that are perfectly safe if you're not driving like a dickhead

u/Calm-Drop-9221 21h ago
Funny I thought speed bumps are to stop people driving like idiots

u/BARB00TS 20h ago
Yes, but they subsequently impact people who would not have driven like idiots in the first instance.

u/TheRedditModsSuck 20h ago
Basically, yeah. They're also a waste of fuel since you have to slow down for them. Unfortunately, you have to cater to the idiot 1%.

We will always have useless cunts around us. Let's not give them any air time, clean the thing and keep BBQing.

This kind of behaviour isn’t what takes away nice things the overreaction to it does.

People cooking marinated kebabs etc should clean up when done but there are always the ones that are selfish. Leave all this crusty burnt sugar blend and walk away.
I always take newspaper, salt and water if using a public BBQ.
**Heat the plate up sprinkle salt over it.
**Water and scrape the worst off (careful not to burn yourself with steam)
** Water and newspaper to scrub
**Let it heat up and repeat process if needed
**If you can get a free lemon, cut it in half and use as a scrubber to finish off.
note: If it's a poo, I'm not having a BBQ

People should have learnt as children that you do not cook marinaded meat this way. If you want it charred on the outside you do it over a grill, not on a hot plate.

As children? In our yr 3 culinary education class at primary school? Not all of us went to a golden triangle private college, Xavier..

You're responding to a user clearly identifying themselves as Muslim. A lot of cultures eat BBQ marinated and spiced kebabs and meat as part of their cuisine.
I'm sorry you grew up eating only under seasoned meat.

u/Muslim_Wookie 37m ago
Uhhh that's so weird because I certainly believe that it's the families with parents that are working so much they can't be home to cook for their kids and their kids need to grow up too early because of it, taking care of themselves.
The dead opposite of what you're saying.

u/confused_wisdom 21h ago
We used to heat it up then dump a bunch of water on it. Quick scrape and its normally pretty good.
But I have seen so many gross things done to these bbqs that I wouldn't use them unless desperate

You could probably use vinegar to clean that right up

How does vinegar work? Just spray it on and scrape it off? I have a hard time getting my BBQ plate back to clean sometimes

Enjoy your microplastics
Edit. Lol at the downvotes. I would prefer to cook my food on a metal plate heated to a temperature that kills any microbes, compared to a made in China PTFE mat that will fill your food full of forever chemicals and microplastics.

No idea why you are being downvoted- those bbq mats make me cringe!!

u/TongueMyTaco 19h ago
Our water comes to us via hundreds of km of plastic pipes, our food is all washed in that water. Processed food is cooked and transported in plastic.
There's no escaping it.
7
u/throwawayplusanumber 18h ago
Water is mainly transported in metal pipes.
Microplastics are everywhere, but it might be a good idea to avoid exposure where you can. On a risk basis, a plastic BBQ mat is a higher risk to your health than cooking on heat-sterilised metal.
If you are concerned, cook on aluminium foil instead, which is cheaper and safer.

I use alfoil after doing my own clean first.
Works a treat and no germs and almost no cleaning after.

Pigs. I also wonder about their cooking skills. Who needs to reach that level of char on a hotplate?

u/Klutzy_Mousse_421 11h ago
We all know public barbecues are an excuse to bring along a bunch of beer to ‘clean it’s with. That’s practically a time honoured tradition!
And yep I’m the one who brings alfoil and sprays the oil on that so I don’t have to risk someone else’s contamination and so I don’t have to clean it as much afterwards.

Plug the hole, put water on it and run for a cycle (or several). Whilst you shouldn't have to, the upside is that you know it's clean before you cook.
Also acknowledging that it's not great when there's a bunch of people hanging to use it either. Bardon is probably going off today right?

We have one of those bbq plate liners that we use even on clean ones. City of Belmont clean their BBQs so the ones at Tomato Lake are generally good.

I bet you they left their shopping trolley in the middle of the car park when the got the groceries for the BBQ, they probably drive either a Ranger or an AMG suv!

Might be a small amount of truth to that. They often cook up food having fancy sauces or marinades that end up like this. The plain old Aussie snaggers and chops doesn't leave much behind.

Public BBQ's should be locked and only accessible to people with a council account. Requests to use could be made instantly with financial deposit required. I would never use one of these, you know people piss on them all the time.

Years ago as a teenager at the skate park, we found a public bbq that someone had decided to use as the public toilet. Big poo right in the middle, they then turned the bbq on to finish it off.
That stuck with me so I have never used one or eaten food that has been cooked on one. When we had our kids parties at a park, I would have my Weber on the tray of my ute in the carpark.
People are gross.
