Take a cheap onion. Cut it in half. Flame up the grill real hot. Take an oven glove and rub the onion really hard on the grill. It will sizzle. Mmm. Amazing all the way around.

(Surgeons are super cocky and for them to explain "man this is tricky to fix" ---> I am out).

> a cheap onion

Not my top shelf, special occasion onion?

Not the organic, gluten-free, free range, cageless red onion.

You want to use the GMO round-up ready, depleted soil/less nutritious [0] factory farm, antibiotic, growth horomone, pesticide laced, persistent organic pollutant laden yellow onions.

I was a little skeptical of this advice, so I did some online searching. There are a bunch of articles with anecdotes about this working, but here's an article that seems to have a bit more substance about this method:

Substance? All I see is "Onions have natural antibacterial properties, which is why this works," which doesn't relate at all to the function IMO.

I was at a birthday party at a park on Sunday (ended up getting rained out and we had to move to another location), and one of the guys manning the grill was doing this on the public-use grill. It seemed to work pretty well.

Cleaning vinegar and a wad of paper (not toweling as it leaves fluff) on the hot grill works well.

You'll also see a lot of guys using a splash of beer and newspaper on the public grill - depending on what you have on hand.
