Can you put grill in dishwasher? I also wondered what the "flavor enhancer" stuff in the grill means?

i wouldn't put a cast iron grill in the dishwasher. If it's bare cast iron, just heat it up on the grill and burn up all the "stuff" then brush off with a wire brush. cast iron "seasons." The baked on stuff actually preserves the grill. now if you have an enamel coated one, it would be safer in the dishwasher. but still pointless to put it in there. just heat it up and cook off the stuff.

I don't recall what the instructions said, you should be able to find those online. My dishwasher is not very large, and if I tried to use this in there, no room for anything else! So I hand wash, in fact, I use the roaster for my dish pan when it's dirty, then rinse and dry it. Works great!

I've put mine in the dishwasher several times with no problem. However, it washes so easily that I usually hand wash it. I do use one of the little green "scrubbie" things - just don't rub too hard - and you really don't have to. I love the grill - have had it for several years.

Honestly, I have never had to place it in the dishwasher. The handles snap off in a breeze, the drip tray rinses easily and the surface wipes clean. Even with cooking bacon or pancakes I simply wipe everything away. I made bacon this morning, I placed the whole pack on the surface(minus 3 pieces) when finished wiped clean and placed it above my fridge. If you pin me to an answer I am not sure with the cooking surface, you can definately place the handles and drip pan in the dish washer

i have never put them in the dishwasher...i only have used the 'mustard'...what i do is put a piece of yellow string(about 6 feet long) onto the container. tie a knot at the end and at bbqs pretend to squirt mustard on people. I then have been asked to give them as gifts etc...so no washing is necessary. good luck.

I agree, just get a grill brush and clean off the worst of the gunk. The high temperature of the grill will kill any potential bacteria that probably isn't there anyway. Cast iron needs to be seasoned and stay seasoned, the dishwasher can result in starting the process over from scratch.

I don't think you can remove the grills. I have never had to remove them to clean them. I just wipe them out with a papertowel. I am not an experienced cook but it is my understanding that, with this type of cookware, it is best to "season" it by just wiping it out rather than using soap and water. But I do use cooking spray with each waffle so the batter does not stick to the grills.

I don't own a dishwasher (although I'm married to one, &lt;grin&gt;). Seriously, I don't see why you can't put the base in a dishwasher if it's safe to do so with the lid. The base is all metal. I would probably be careful to only use the top rack for the lid, though.

I've never put it in a dishwasher. I figure spinning water out of salad, it's pretty safe just to rinse and wipe off.

I have never washed it in the dishwasher. I wash in soapy water and fill again with cheese and keep all in a sealed plastic bag ready for use. If I bought another grater of this type, I would want one much larger and easier to turn.

I agree with P. Phillip. The literature with the product does not mention anything about being dishwasher safe. As with the other answers the detachable "dish" is the only part that you would probably want to put in a dishwasher.

I don't have a dishwasher so I can say from experience. But when I us it, it usual has some heavy residue that is probably best cleaned by hand scrubbing. It might work in a dishwasher if pre soaked. Either way the pleasure it will give you in use it worth it.

Do you remove the plates from the grill to wash and raise them off before you use them? If so, then I don't know why you would be getting a smell. Please make sure that you also clean up any residue where the plates are kept.

Yes, the drippings tray can go in dishwasher. All of the grill itself has non stick coating and washes very well with soap and water

Yes, but.... I've had 3 of these. The first 2 I put in the dishwasher. This last one, I have only hand washed - its lasted about 3 years vs 2 years on the ones I put in the dishwasher. I'm getting ready to buy my 4th grill pan and I wont be buying one of these. The black paint has come off and the bacon sticks. I'm going with cast iron for my next one even though it will be 2 to 3 times heavier. Spending $45.00 every few years for another grill pan is not that big a deal, but it irks me that products are not built to last. I figure if I am going to the effort to wash a pan by hand it needs to last longer than 3 years. Yes, but.... I've had 3 of these. The first 2 I put in the dishwasher.

No...Do not put it in the Dishwasher. I was skittish/nervous about ordering it as it would be in the back of a truck delivered to my house and thought it may not work when it arrived to my home. Thankfully it arrived in perfect condition.
