As a seasoned product tester, I've tested a lot of grills in my time, which means I've put in hours and hours of cleaning up burnt-on food. If you're anything like me, you'll be getting into the swing of the grilling season, and while the food is great, it can make for a lot of elbow grease removing stubborn carbonization from your grill.
One of the most common hacks for cleaning up a grill sounds like an old wives' tale. The idea is that half an onion rubbed over the surface of a grill will clean up any grit or charred food. The good news is that the method works and it's safe, the better news is that there's an even more effective method, which is still cheap and chemical-free.
