Unusual uses of onion

1. Polish metal
Prepare a mix of crushed onion and one part water. Then, using a damp cloth, rub the mixture on a metal surface, until it appears shiny and clean.

2. Clean the grill
First scrub the grill with a wire brush to remove gunk. Switch on the grill. Use a halved onion, speared through a fork, and run the onion over the grill until all of the dirt is gone.

3. Create a DIY dye
While onions appear translucent in color, they make a beautiful vibrant red or orange dye. Just gather the skins and place them in a pair of nylon pantyhose or a nut milk bag and tie a knot at the end. Boil them in a pot for about 20 minutes. The liquid should be a bright dye, perfect for paper, yarn or fabric.

4. Soak up the smell of burnt rice
A great way to get rid of that smoky smell from burnt rice is to place half an onion next to the stove to absorb the smell.

5. Prevent your windshield from frosting up
Slice a raw onion in half and rub it on your windshield at night. This technique will help prevent frost from forming overnight.

6. Keep avocados from turning brown
A slice of red onion can be placed alongside an avocado in an airtight container to prevent it from browning. You may also add slices of red onion on top of guacamole.

7. Clean rusty knives
If your knives are rusting, jab them into a large, raw onion.
