how do you clean your george foreman grill

[okiemommy]

I have one, but I haven't used it yet

But! A good friend of mine swears by the grill sponge that they sell to clean it. She says it really makes a big difference in the ease of cleaning.

I spread wet paper towels in it and close it...still hot but not plugged in.

I love the thing but wish I had a smaller one. Ours was a gift and it's HUGE.

Are you sure the hot plates don't come off on that one?
Mine has a latch and the plates pop off and into the dishwasher they go.

Mine lives in the farthest most spot in my corner cabinet, so I really dont know...

I have no problem cleaning my George Foreman grill, I do what TerriLacy said and sorta hang it over the lip of the sink. I use a washcloth with hot, soapy water on it and wipe it down. Nothing sticks to it very much. Then I rinse it with clean water using the same washcloth. Set it in the sink to drain and put it away. No problem!

I love love love my George Foreman. I also have the one with the detachable plates. The top and bottom plates pop right off for super easy cleaning. Other than that the easiest way to clean it is to do so when it's hot, as people have mentioned already.

We have the exact one you have, and it can be a pain to clean.

I have a sprayer on my sink, and while it's still hot, I wipe it off with a damp washcloth and then spray it off with an easy stream of water. It's just wide enough to keep at the edge of the sink, so the gunky water goes right down the drain. I let it air dry, but make sure you wipe the front edge, or yucky stuff will build up there.
