Cleaning the BBQ Grill

Yes I know this isn't a cooking tip or a weight loss tip per se, but since grilling is a healthy way to prepare food I thought I'd pass along this tip for an easy way to clean the BBQ grill:

Cleaning the Barbecue Grill

Use a large heavy-duty plastic garbage bag.
Put in the grill's grate with 1/4 cup of ammonia
and tie it shut.

Let sit overnight and the crud
will have been softened.

Crumple up aluminum foil
and rub off the debris.

Wash grate in soapy dish water, rinse, and you're ready to go!
