The food tip that you will definitely be using over and over again this summer is to clean your grill with an onion. That's right. When the grilling season gets hot, there is an easier way to clean up after grilling that avoids the use of harsh grill cleaners and detergents.
With just a halved fresh onion, you can break down charcoal and sticky dirt in seconds and save time scrubbing and brushing. All you need is a white onion and fork for grilling . Follow these step-by-step guides on how to clean your grill with an onion and other general tips to keep your grill looking good all summer long.
How to clean your grill with onions on
1. Never use water directly on cast iron grids.
Do not use water directly on cast iron grids, this can rust them and make future barbecues difficult. Instead, stick to the onion tip (more details below) or use a natural grill cleaner that's compatible with cast iron.
Unless you have cast iron grids, water is acceptable, especially for a thorough end-of-season cleaning. To do this, remove the grids and immerse them in a soapy water bath (or a vinegar-water solution ). You can also immerse the grill brush in water to remove dirt from the grids after grilling.
2. Use an onion to clean the grids.
When you're done grilling, leave the grill on. Next, glue half a white onion to the end of the grill fork and rub it upside down along the grate. The heat, combined with the onion's natural antibacterial properties, breaks down stubborn char or sticky sauces. Remember: the grills need to be hot, so use a fork or tongs to hold the onion (you don't want to burn your hands). And if the food is really sticking, try a natural acid like lemon juice or white wine vinegar to speed up the process.
For those of you who have a charcoal grill, save this onion to avoid food waste . When you're done, toss it on the coals and let the smoky flavors permeate whatever you're cooking next.
3. Remove excess charcoal
Every time you use your grill, the fat builds up on its components and the smoke evaporates into charcoal, the tiny flakes that sit on your grill hood. To prevent dirt and charcoal from getting into your food, you should regularly scrape off the hood, drip tray and burner.
