Grill cleaning is that type of task that most people tend to dodge. The grill grates are usually covered with remnants of burnt food, greases, and tough black residues after preparing burgers, steaks, chicken, and veggies on the grill. As popular as the grill brush may be, there is a more convenient and easier way of grill cleaning which you may not think of because you already have it in your kitchen - the onion. According to Food & Wine, chef and cookbook author Bricia Lopez uses an onion to clean her grill grates, calling it a 'sacrificial onion'. Lopez use half an onion to scrub a hot grill, with the vegetable helping remove bits of charred food and grime.
"I call it the sacrificial onion. It not only brings a beautiful aroma, but it almost creates a nonstick surface, perfect for your proteins or vegetables," Lopez said as quoted by Food & Wine.
