The pungent veggie makes a perfect, non-toxic cleaning companion.
After a long weekend of backyard BBQs, sizzling veggies, marinated, grass-fed meats, tastes-like-steak tofu and other grilled up green goodies, we’re willing to bet your little Weber has taken a beating.
If your once-like-new grill racks have started to cake up in layers of black, here’s a simple, strange and sustainable way to get them clean.
- Heat up the grill super hot so it will be easy for the clumped up gook to scrape off.
- Cut an onion in half.
- Stab one half of the onion with a fork and then with the flat end of the onion pointing facedown, use the veggie-utensil combo to rub down the grate.
This will ensure your grill works well and keeps food tasting fresh and delicious all summer season—without having to use nasty, chemical cleansers.
