Does the grilling disconnected from the base (for cleaning)? Can the base be cleaned in the dishwasher?

I have never tried the dishwasher, not worth taking the chance. Guess I am not much help, sorry! Its easy to do by hand though.

yes, the metal grilling area including plug-in releases from the plastic base to facilitate cleaning....dishwasher cleaning, though seemingly possible, would perhaps be ineffectual.....most of the cleanup is relatively hard burned residue which may be impervious to dishwasher spray activity....

The grill does disconnect from the base. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher because of the heating element connection should not get wet. It is extremely easy to clean. I first wipe the grill off with a paper towel while still warm and then put it into warm soapy water and wipe clean or use a small brush on the grill making sure not to get the electrical connection wet. I have enjoyed the grill.

Disconnect the heating control from the grill and then it is easy to lift up the gril to clean both sides and the drip pan. While the grill is still hot Idampen paper towels grip them with tongs and clean the upper grilling area by scrubbing vigoriously in all the grooves. After the grill is cool then turn it over and clean the bottom area - using an old toothbrush where something is difficult to remove. Wash the drip pan as you would other cooking utensils.

The pot does separate from the base and can be immersed in water but shouldnt be put in the dishwasher.

In the back of the grill there is a cup that catches the grease. One can easily remove the reflector plate and the grill for easy cleaning. When you remove the reflector plate then just wipe up the left over grease in the bottom of the grill. We have been using these grills for years and love them. We have 3. One at our home up north and one down at our Fl home and an extra up north in case the one that sits outside uncovered goes on the fritz. You will not be displeased with this product and food tastes and smells like it was grilled over coals unlike the George Foreman grills. Enjoy. Tim

Karen: Clean up is fairly simple. You have to take out the drip pan, which does require uncscrewing the heating element. It is really no big deal. We love the grill, it is sturdy and grills well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Jim Batastini

You wouldn't want to clean this in the dishwasher -- anymore than you would clean your cast iron frying pans in the dishwasher. Coat it lightly each time before use with olive oil, and clean it by hand afterwards. It's a wonderful addition to your grille. Cook fish fillets on it, or roast raw almonds. tasks you wouldn't attempt on your normal grille plates.

Yes the plates come off for cleaning and easily go back on. I love my grill.

Not sure about the dish washer. To clean, preheat the grill to 500 and use a wire brush to scrape clean. You can also look this up on you tube. These are fantastic grates, you will not be disappointed!

Yes... This is dishwasher safe... I just use my hand scrubber to quickly wash it... but I could use the dishwasher.It is fast to clean. It makes great and easy 1/3 lb burgers. I am retired and watch my money. This is a smart buy.

I don't allow food to get dry on the grill plates. As soon as I take the food off, I put a wet cloth on the grill while it cools enough to clean. Then I clean with Dawn and the grill brush and just scrub clean. My grill is super easy to clean and the grill plates also can go in the dishwasher, so I've had no problems at all.

Yes, it can be easily removed from the base. Food cleanup - probably easy since it's all stainless steel, but I only used it for boiling water so I can't say for sure

The grill is separate. It can be removed for cleaning just like the pot. There is two separate switches if you decide to use only one and not both. Cord, maybe 6-8ft? I always use an extension cord unless I use it on my island countertop. It will leak if you are not careful how u pour the water in the pot and get it on other areas. I use it for Korean BBQ, that's the closest thing out there. I wish there was an option to also do a grill plate around the outer edge to replace where the pot is.

I've put ours in the dishwasher, comes out just fine. You did have to take it apart.

No, the grills don't come out (i really haven't tried to take them off either- with my luck, I'll brake it). But they clean real easy with a wet paper towel. Never had to scrub them, I just wipe them and that's it. Clean.

The infrared grate does get discolored and needs to be cleaned periodically. I use a regular grill brush and the grill comes with a special shaped tool to get in the valleys of the grate. The grate just lifts out and takes just minutes to clean. Depending on what you cook you may want to do after every use however if your grilled item is lean without sauce you can certainly do it less frequently. The grate turns an even matte black with time regardless of cleaning habits.

The grill plates are permanent. I purchased the 3 pack grill sponges and use these for easy clean up. The grill sponges do last a long time. The drip pan is easy to clean too as I just place it in soapy water which cleans in minutes. A dishwasher isn't really necessary.

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.
