Be a Clean, Green Grilling Master with this Simple Onion Trick

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.

  1. Heat up the grill super hot so it will be easy for the clumped up gook to scrape off.
  2. Cut an onion in half.
  3. 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.
