Carefully slice a large onion in half. Using a fork, rub the cut side of the onion over the hot grates. The natural acidity and properties of the onion will help break down grime and grease effortlessly.
3. Scrub if Necessary:
While the hot grill and onion should handle most of the cleaning, you might occasionally need to scrub stubborn spots. Use a grill brush designed for the purpose to scrub off any remaining residue.
4. Wipe Down:
After cleaning with the onion, switch the grill off and allow it to cool slightly. Then, take a damp cloth and wipe down the grates thoroughly to remove any residual particles or onion juice.
5. Oil the Grates:
For added protection and to ensure an easier clean next time, lightly coat the cooled grates with a bit of vegetable oil.
There you have it! Keeping your barbecue grill spotless doesn’t have to be a cumbersome chore. With this quick, efficient method, even the most reluctant cleaner can easily take charge and ensure their grill remains in top-notch condition. Happy grilling!
