I came across a blog post showing someone cleaning their dirty grill grates with an onion. After seeing this post I knew the next time I lit the Weber kettle I’d need to clean the grill this way.
Cut an onion in half and while the grill grates are still hot, rub the onion back and forth across them. Remarkably the onion did cut through the grease and grime on the grates.
Anyone that grills often should have a good grill brush handy so “wasting” an onion cleaning the grates wouldn’t be necessary. But if, by chance, you don’t have a brush then the onion will work.
