I wipe mine down as soon as I am done with it, when it is still hot. I have also used ice cubes on it when it is still hot. You just stick ice cubes on it right when you are done with it and the water from the ice cubes takes alot of the gunk off. Also they come with a little plastic cleaner tool, it helps too. I think the most important thing is to clean it while it is still hot. I love to cook on mine, but hate cleaning it!! Good Luck.

NEW! Grill Sponge
Grooved to fit all George Foreman grills......
this was on the site you posted....

mine is not that large.
I just wipe it off with warm water while it is still warm.

Mine is the big family size...not quite as large as yours, but really big. What I do is sprinkle it with baking soda, get a couple of thick kitchen towels wet, put them inside and close it. When I get ready I come back, open it, and everything just wipes right off. Still a mess (you are cleaning it on your counter, after all) but makes getting the gunk off a breeze. Enjoy.....I love mine!!!

I clean mine while it's still hot, but not plugged in.

I scrape it with the plastic grease scraper first.

Then, I take a damp, warm washcloth and dribble water all down both halves, helping to drain off the excess grease. The water and grease goes into the grease pan. Then, I use a soapy washcloth and scrub both halves, folding the washcloth thickly so that I don't get burned. Since it can't be immersed, I have to do this on the countertop, but it works okay. I rinse it by wiping it with another damp, warm, washcloth until all the soapiness is gone.

**I've also aimed mine so that the dirty water drains directly in the sink, eliminating the need for the grease pan while washing. That works out well.

I let it air dry before putting it away.

Never use steel wool on your George Foreman. My sister's roommate in college ruined a George Foreman (belonging to my sister...grr...) that way.

Me too, plus everything tastes exactly the same. It's a great concept though.

I have the George Forman roaster and it's a pain to clean but makes good chicken

If yours has the lip that drains into a grease catcher, just position the grill so the lip will drain into the sink. Then I use a gentle spray from the sink sprayer to get the gunk loose and wipe it out with a warm soapy cloth and another rinse with the sprayer.

Of course if SOME PEOPLE around here would just CLEAN IT while the grill is still warm after they make LUNCH on it while I am AT WORK, and then go to THEIR afternoon job, then I wouldn't have the experience to give the advice above. But NO, that is too EASY!...oh sorry. I guess I am going off topic a tad.
