Are the nonstick plates removable or not? my concern is are they washable?

Not removeable. But definately sprayed with PAM or the Crisco Olive oil spray to make nonstick. Cleans up readily with a damp paper towel once cool enough to handle. Mild dish soap fine; clorox wipe and then wet paper towel rinse fine, too. No cleanser/abrasives.

You can't take the plates out, what we do is just let it cool down and wipe it down with a wet paper towel.

No, but they are so easy to clean. I wipe a little after removing sandwich, however when the toaster is completely cool, a paper towel removes every speck on there due to nonstick.I am looking forward to ST PATTYS DAY for my rueben toasted so perfectly.

Putting them through the dishwasher isn't suggested since they have a non-stick coating which could wear off more easily in the dishwasher (at least that's what the thing that came with the pans said).

The company says you can run them through the dishwasher, but I never do. I have read some reviews that complained about scratching or losing the non-stick ability-- I haven't had the same issues and I believe it is because I hand wash and season them. I have had my set for two years.

I have washed them by hand and in dishwasher and they appear to be very dishwasher safe. I've only put the cookie sheets in the dishwasher and they come out clean and the non-stick finish looks and performs the same as when new. Because the finish is "non-stick" if there is something burnt or stuck on the pan, running warm water to cover and soak it for a few minutes followed by a gentle scrub with a brush cleans the pans easily.

No, they are not but I just use a brush to wipe away any crumbs, and a paper towel. It stays clean because it is nonstick. You will not be disappointed.

No removable plates! Doesn't seem neeeded - just clean after use with wet towel. (Removeable plates probably result in poorer heat transfer)

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. Have put them in the dishwasher for weeks and all fine. I believe I read that somewhere before I purchased them.

I believe the packaging information read that they are dishwasher safe but I have never put mine in the dishwasher. The pans clean so easily that I just go ahead and wash them myself. I love this set.

I don't have a dishwasher, but I have hand washed them. I've never used them more than twice. but DON'T bake a cake in them! I did yesterday & it was a disaster!

Yes, they are dishwasher and microwave safe! Not only that, but I have a tendency to grab a plate and use it as a cutting board, and you would never know! I LOVE mine!

Hi Tom, they are dish washer safe, but if you would like them to last a lifetime I would keep them out of the dish washer. Restraint quality pans are best kept out because even though you want to clean your pans you want to season them. Kinda like cast iron pans you want them to creat the proper sear. Each time you put them in a dish washer it takes the natural finish off the inside and the outer layer. Thus thining your metals and causing uneven cooking.

Honestly, I have not put mine in the dishwasher. However, I have not needed too. They wipe clean or clean up beautifully with a damp sponge. I love these pans. The description says "dishwasher-safe but handwashing recommended to prolong life". I think you just don't want to have water standing on them. I have always bought cheap ones, but no more. I don't think you can go wrong with these.

The package says "Easy to clean" but it does not say "Dishwasher safe," so I'm not sure. They're made of solid cast nylon, so they're pretty durable, but I don't know if I'd put them in the dishwasher without assurance.

Yes they are removable. The plates are reversible so on one side it is waffle textured and smooth on the other. The waffle plates are for traditional waffles (think eggos) and not the thick Belgium waffle

Yes plates are nonstick, and I have to say the outside and the drip tray clean up easily.

I don't think so. It's never a good idea to put them in the dishwasher anyway. Pan is great though. Nice size and I like that it has a cover. I couldn't find a covered one I liked in the stores. Amazon to the rescue!

Yes, they are washable and very easy to remove. Add water to them at the sink and rinse them clean, wring out and you are good to go.
