Do Just One Thing
Soft, rotten whole onions should never be eaten, but they don’t have to be thrown away. Use them to clean dirty grill grates instead. Simply cut the onion in half and use it like a scrubber to loosen burnt-on residue. Rinse the grates with water, then rub them again with the onion. The natural sulfur compounds in onions react with the metal, helping create a naturally nonstick surface that can make future grilling easier.
