Cut the onion in half and spear it with a fork. You will save time and money before the May weekend

The May weekend is fast approaching. So it’s time to start proper preparations. The weather will be favorable to spend this time in the bosom of nature and at the same time organize a long-awaited feast in the garden or on the plot. It’s time to vacuum and clean the grill and its individual parts, including the grate.

What is the best way to clean an old grate? The best way to clean your grill

Recently, I discovered a useful trick for cleaning the grill with the help of a solution. It turns out that it can cope with dirt very well without using a wire brush or grill scraper. Instead, just use a cut on half a large onion (any type) to scrub off any leftover burnt bits from the grill.

1. Preheat the grill to a high temperature so that stuck food pieces can be easily removed.
2. Cut the onion in half and pierce it with a large fork or meat fork. Pierce the onion deep enough to hold it firmly on the fork.
3. Rub the cut side of the onion against the grill grates. Using a back and forth motion, scrub the onion along the grates. The juices will create the steam needed to remove the charred bits from the grill.

By using simple products you can find at home, especially aluminum foil and vinegar, you can clean your grill grate without toxic chemicals and endless scrubbing.

1. Pour plain household vinegar into a spray bottle.
2. Spray the grill with vinegar.
3. Then take a rolled up piece of aluminum foil and use it as a household “scraper” to scrape and remove the dried dirt.
