Could someone please describe the cleaning required after cooking burgers?

Normally I just wash it but if I have chicken or burgers on the grill for a bit of time, the grill does need to soak (the pan and the gril)l for 10-15 minutes in dish soap. I use a dish sponge to remove any remaining particles with relative ease.

The grill surface and the bottom tray are dishwasher safe. I first take a dish brush and soap to get most of the char off and then put it in the dishwasher. Works like a charm.

As soon as you are done, dip the grate in warm soapy water for a couple of minutes. Then scrub with a brush.

I use a scouring cloth called Golden Fleece, brand name Chore Boy. They are especially good at cleaning the grate.

To clean you just pour water on it while hot (or heat it up and pour on water) use a scraper with hot water.Not sure what you mean by all-in-one grill?

Cleaning this basket is very simple for me. What I like to do it clean it and the grill surface together with high heat. That cooks off all the grease and food bits. Then, the dish washer is the final step! It's great that it's stainless...comes out very clean and seems like it will last forever!

Cleaning the grills is easy. Cleaning the insides requires a lot of work. I have tried chemical de-greasers, bar keepers friend, steel wool, and oven cleaner. Steel wool works best for me. The aluminum surfaces are just plain difficult.

I don't see anyway to catch the grease. Letting it burn off is the best option. Then on the next use, I use a grill wire brush and clean off the metal plate & the rack.

I used mine to brown hamburger meat the first time, and was shocked that there was nothing to clean up after wards. Literally just wiped down once with a sponge and that was it. Love it!!

I do. I usually premake my hamburgers and then thaw what I need on this. I leave them wrapped in the same plastic wrap I used to package them for the freezer when I defrost them. I don't know if you have to do that, but I find it cleaner. I used to put my old quick defroster in the dishwasher but eventually the black coating started to peel - so I hand wash this one and it's easier if the food isn't directly on it. Hope this helps!

If you follow the instructions in the manual, and use thermal cleaning to bake off the residue on the grill, it's easy after that to clean with a wire grill brush. Make sure all the holes in the grate are clear of residue. Every second or third cookout, I will remove the grate and clean out the grill bowl with a damp cloth or soap/water mix. Some burnt residue from cooking will fall through the holes onto the grill bowl. It's easy to clean, damp rag or soap/water mix with rag.

U clean them like a cast iron pan. Use a really (& I mean that) good grill brush to get the crud off. Thatz about it. Az far az the stainless Ive heard that other people have to clean them like stainless panz (soaking, cleanzer, & scrubby padz). Just a matter of preference I guess, but I luv cast iron! My former grill had them- never replaced & now itz goin 2 winter home in AZ. Hope this helps.

I've cleaned mine in the dishwasher with no ill effects. It is after all just anodized metal (probably aluminum). However, that's usually overkill, since I usually thaw food still freezer wrapped, so a wipe with a paper towel or sponge with a little dish soap and rinse is all it takes. Never had anything stick to it, so I've never scoured it.

I haven't used it since last fall but I believe the grill rack, griddle etc... sits on a deep pan that the grease goes into so you can then dump it into the garbage, wipe it with paper towels then wash it up with your other dishes. Cleans up nice.

Your answer would be in the Weber manual and should be a ails le on line. I am away from my manual but going from memory you clean the grates in warm soapy water and clean with a nylon type scrub brush. Dry thoroughly and reflag with cooking oil . Turn on barbecue and heat the grates for up to an hour on med / high. This reseLs the o back on the grate.

To remove burned-on food, fill the pan with enough warm, soapy water to cover the mess and let it sit for an hour. Then put the pan back on the burner and boil the soapy water for 10 to 15 minutes. Let the water cool to the touch, then scrub with a nylon scouring pad. Wash out again with hot, soapy water, rinse and dry. Repeat for stubborn residue. Use a non-abrasive cleanser like Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser or Bar Keepers Friend for general cleaning, stain removal and keeping the cookware shiny as new. Don't use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners. Although they do an excellent job of removing stuck-on food, all stainless steel cookware makers caution that they will scratch the surface of the cookware. Instead, opt for nylon-net scouring pads, plastic or nylon brushes.

I'm about to purchase this, and I'll share the same cleaning method on it as I do my george foreman grill... when done, unplug it, and while still hot, wet a couple of paper towels, loosely wring them out so they won't drip, lay them over the open grill, then close it ... it'll 'steam clean' itself, & when you're done eating, open it back up again & use the paper towels to complete the wipe & clean process before storing.

The burgers taste yummy --- they are cooked in their own juices on the grill, so the grill marks are on the burgers. Just no messy clean-up afterwards.

I use a dry wadded up paper towel while the grill is still so hot (so the grease, etc., doesn't harden) and wipe downward following the ridges wiping off all of the grease. I then take a damp wadded up paper towel and repeat until the grill is clean. I then shut the grill off. Obviously keep your finders clear of the hot surfaces.

If you want to be sticking your hands in as little as possible, I'd cover it with paper. But to clean it I use hot 50/50 vinegar water solution, either poured directly on grate and then scrubbed off with a sponge, or a sponge dipped in pure vinegar.(but you have to stick your hand, a hot cup and then a sponge in there but to me its the quickest way.) If you use a bleach solution be sure to dilute it heavy with water (like 1/2 a tbl spoon for a 26oz, &remove the food &water first).
