What restaurants does sysco supply?

Sysco supplies a wide range of restaurants including independent eateries, chain restaurants, fast food franchises, hotels, cafeterias, and institutional kitchens. They offer food ingredients, kitchen supplies, and cleaning products like the Sysco Grill Brick. While Sysco is a major distributor, ChickenPieces.com offers this same grill brick for Canadian food service operators looking for reliable supply without minimum order requirements.

What does sysco offer?

Sysco offers thousands of products including fresh and frozen food, dry goods, beverages, paper products, janitorial supplies, and equipment. Their cleaning line includes items like grill bricks, degreasers, and sanitation chemicals. The Sysco Grill Brick 3.5 inch thick 8x4IN is a specific non-scratching cleaner for flat tops and grills. It's popular in Canadian commercial kitchens for its odor-free, durable performance.

How to store Sysco Grill Brick 3.5 in for maximum shelf life?

To maximize shelf life of Sysco Grill Brick 3.5 in bricks, store them in their original individual wrappers in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Avoid high humidity areas like near dishwashers. Keep stacked neatly to prevent crushing. When stored properly, these bricks can last for years. ChickenPieces.com ships them from Calgary in cases of 12; open only what you need for the week to maintain freshness.

What are the dimensions and weight of the Sysco Grill Brick 3.5 in?

Each Sysco Grill Brick measures 8 inches by 4 inches with a thickness of 3.5 inches. The exact weight per brick is not listed, but a case of 12 individually wrapped bricks is manageable for one-handed carrying. The compact size fits easily under a counter or in a cleaning caddy. These dimensions make the brick comfortable to grip with tongs during use.

How long does a Sysco Grill Brick last under typical commercial use?

The lifespan depends on cleaning frequency and grill size. In a moderate-volume restaurant cleaning a standard 36-inch flat top daily, one brick can last about a month. For high-volume kitchens doing multiple cleanings per day, a brick might last 1-2 weeks. The individually wrapped format allows you to use partial bricks and save the rest. Operators typically order a case of 12 every few months.

What is the cleaning and maintenance procedure for the Sysco Grill Brick?

Using the Sysco Grill Brick requires no special maintenance. Simply wrap it in a grill brick holder or use tongs, and scrub the hot grill surface. After use, let the brick cool, then store it in its original wrapper in a dry area. Do not immerse in water. The brick does not require sharpening or conditioning. Replace when it becomes too small to hold comfortably.

Can the Sysco Grill Brick be used on a flattop grill with a non-stick coating?

Yes, the Sysco Grill Brick is non-scratching and safe for non-stick surfaces. However, always test a small area first. The cleaning compound is abrasive enough to remove carbon buildup but gentle enough to preserve non-stick coatings. Use light pressure and avoid prolonged rubbing on one spot. This makes it versatile for different grill types in a commercial kitchen.

Is the Sysco Grill Brick better than a pumice stone for grill cleaning?

Yes, many operators prefer the Sysco Grill Brick over pumice stones because it is less messy and designed specifically for kitchen use. The brick crumbles evenly and absorbs grease, whereas pumice can leave grit that requires extra cleaning. Also, the Sysco Grill Brick is odor-free and individually wrapped for hygiene. It is a consistent performer for Canadian food service.

How should I dispose of a used Sysco Grill Brick?

Dispose of the used Sysco Grill Brick in regular trash once it is too small to use or crumbles apart. The compound is non-toxic and safe for landfill. Since it is individually wrapped, the wrapper can be recycled if clean (check local guidelines). For large operations, consolidate used bricks in a bag before disposal to keep work areas tidy.

Where can I buy Sysco Grill Brick in bulk for my restaurant in Canada?

You can order the Sysco Grill Brick 3.5 in thick 8x4IN in cases of 12 from ChickenPieces.com. They ship Canada-wide from Calgary, making it convenient for restaurants across the country. Ordering in bulk reduces frequency of reordering and ensures you always have a clean grill. There are no minimum order quantities for this product.

Does the Sysco Grill Brick require any special training to use?

No special training is needed. Simply inform your kitchen staff to use the brick on a hot grill (around 350°F) with tongs. Demonstrate how to apply even pressure and wipe residue. The process is intuitive and takes less than a minute. It's a common procedure in Canadian food service and easily picked up by new hires during onboarding.

What is beef tallow used for?

Beef tallow is used for deep frying, pan frying, searing, roasting, sauteing, baking, pastry making, confit, and cast iron seasoning. Its smoke point of 400F (204C) makes it suitable for all high-heat cooking methods. It excels at French fries, fried chicken, fish and chips, roasted vegetables, pie crusts, and steaks.

What is the smoke point of beef tallow?

Beef tallow has a smoke point of approximately 400F (204C), making it ideal for deep frying, high-heat searing, and oven roasting. Standard commercial frying operates at 350-375F, well below this threshold, meaning the tallow stays stable and clean-tasting throughout normal frying operations.

Is beef tallow healthy?

Beef tallow is a natural, minimally processed fat containing fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and zero carbohydrates. It is thermally stable and produces fewer harmful oxidation compounds during high-heat cooking compared to polyunsaturated vegetable oils. It is high in saturated fat, so individual dietary context matters.

How many times can you reuse beef tallow for frying?

With proper maintenance, beef tallow can be reused for 8-10 frying sessions before needing replacement. Strain after every use to remove food particles, maintain frying temperature between 350-375F, avoid introducing moisture, and store covered between sessions.

How long does beef tallow last?

Unopened beef tallow lasts up to 12 months at room temperature in a cool, dry location. Refrigerated after opening, it lasts 3-6 months. Frozen, it keeps for up to 12 months with no quality loss.

What is the difference between beef tallow and lard?

Beef tallow is rendered from beef fat while lard is rendered from pork fat. Tallow has a slightly higher smoke point at 400F (204C) versus lard at approximately 370F (188C) and a slightly firmer texture. Tallow has a more neutral flavour making it more versatile. Lard is prized in specific baking traditions like tamales and tortillas.

Brand: Sysco
SKU: CP-SYS-5793963

⚡ Quick Answer

Grill Brick 3.5 in thick 8x4IN (12/Case) is a non-scratching, odor-free grill cleaning compound for Canadian restaurants, commercial kitchens, caterers, and event operators. It quickly removes carbon buildup and grease from flat tops, griddles, and grills without damaging surfaces. ChickenPieces.com ships this grill brick Canada-wide from Calgary.

This is a solid cleaning compound brick built to handle carbonized grease on flat top grills and griddles. Professional kitchens across Canada use it for fast, non-scratch cleaning between rushes. You'll see it in fast food spots from Vancouver to St. John's, where quick turnaround on a dirty flat top means the difference between thirty covers or fifty covers an hour.

Grill Brick 3.5 in. Thick 8X4IN (12/Case) — Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service

This grill brick is 3.5 inches thick, 8 by 4 inches wide, and individually wrapped so it stays clean until you crack it open. The compound is dense and non-scratching, which means it won't gouge your stainless steel or rolled steel flat top. Professionals pick it for the lack of smell — no chemical odour to chase customers off during lunch service.

Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide — all 10 provinces and 3 territories — in 2-5 business days.

Industry Insider Tip: Use the grill brick while the surface is still hot (but not smoking) for best results. The heat helps lift carbonized residue without extra scrubbing effort.

Jamie's Take · Senior Operator @ ChickenPieces

"I've seen these bricks last through a whole summer at a busy food truck. One of our customers in Edmonton goes through a case every 3 months cleaning their flat top after 300 covers a day. The individually wrapped packaging is a nice touch keeps them from getting dusty on the shelf."

These bricks cut through burnt-on grease without the noise and mess of a grill stone. You rub them over the hot surface — they crumble slowly, absorbing the carbon as they go — then you wipe clean. It's a 90-second operation that keeps your griddle ready for the next order. For other cleaning essentials, check our non food range for scrapers, squeegees, and grill tools that pair well with this brick.

Quality & Specifications

This is a dense, non-abrasive cleaning compound. Each brick is 8 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 3.5 inches thick. That thickness means it holds up through heavy use — you're not swapping bricks mid-service. The compound is designed to crumble gradually, exposing fresh surface as you scrub. No fibres, no metal shavings, just consistent cleaning.

Professional Applications

Use it on flat top grills in burger joints, breakfast diners, and grill stations. Works on stainless steel griddles in fast food kitchens. Suitable for cast iron barbecue grates at catering events. Also effective on Blackstone griddles at food trucks and concession stands. The brick is odour-free, so it's safe for open kitchens where customers watch their food being cooked.

Storage & Handling

Keep these bricks in their original individual wrappers. Store in a cool, dry place — away from dishwashers, sinks, and steam tables. If you leave them unwrapped in a damp kitchen, they'll absorb moisture and crumble prematurely. Shelf life is essentially unlimited when stored properly; you'll use them long before they degrade.
