Dawn dishwashing liquid...gets the grease out of EVERYTHING! Also great for soaking a pan with baked on grime...

I only use it for brushing buttermilk to biscuit doughs. Buttermilk comes off pretty easily after rinsing in hot water. For liquid butter, could you try to keep the brush in hot soapy water for a little while and rinse under running hot water?

Hi, I'm not quite sure, since I do have a dishwasher. I would definitely try Dawn original with hot water, (blue) which is supposed to cut right through grease and oils. Hope it works for you!

Dan, I have found that soaking the brush in hot water and dishwashing detergent first helps. You're right, simply trying to handwash it right away doesn't work. I've found that using the brush to "wash" out a small dish with detergent works. It's worth the trouble; this is the best basting brush I've ever used.

I just use warm water, dish soap and a scrub brush on it anytime it needs cleaning. It comes right off.

OK so we solved the problem. We got angry and just pulled. The black round thing with the blade does come out if you just give it a tug or use a spoon to pry it up. Then you can simply remove the bottom part and rinse/wash it. Hope this helps anyone who is as frustrated as we were, but if you could still send the manual and recipe book that would be great. Thanks. -elizabeth

I used straight dish washing detergent and a non scratch scouring pad! I have also heard rubbing alcohol will work although I have not tried it. Good luck! I love love these pans!

The manufacturer did not recommend how to clean. I used a home made brush cleaner I use from online. If you'd like to know more about the one I use go to www.bubblebabez.com

I use butter or olive oil regularly and it works fine Dishwasher cleans it up. Do not overcook with high heat - that makes it harder to clean up

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.

I rincs it thoroughly after using it. Then stick it in the dishwasher. Otherwise, if I need it again before I run the washer, I put soap directly onto the base of the bristles, and just using my fingers lather it around, then rinse and use.

I soak mine in hot soapy water, rinse with hot water, then put them in the dishwasher, lol. Not sure what kind of brush could be used. Maybe push a paper towel in one end with a skewer & run it out through the other side? I hope this helps!

I just rinse it out with hot water and a brush. How else would you do it? Not in the dishwasher for sure.

The BEST way is to wipe it out w/paper towels upon rinsing. Avoid "scratchy" cleaners always, but you can remove past buildup w/those "safe for Teflon" dishwashing sponges. Hope this helps!

I am not aware of the manufactuer's recommendations. However, I have had no problem but be sure to clean it with a cleaner that will remove the residue. A good dishwasher liquid will work.

I buy this one every few years (the current one I have had it for last 4+yrs). I have stuck it in dishwasher. Nothing happened to it except that it did not come out very clean. The reason being if you use dishwasher jet dry it gets stuck into the concentric circular ridges. Hence I just wash with a regular dishwashing soap.

I'm sorry it seems as though your problem is unique to your machine. Mine works perfectly and I have never used any kind of spray or butter on it, I would follow the suggestions of spraying the surface while cold and maybe it will season itself again.

I hand wash mine (no dish washer). I also use the nonabrasive scrubber and have had no problems.You may have received a flawed product and should contact the company.

Hmmm I haven't notice that to be a problem. I don't really soak it or run it through the dishwasher. I just get a soapy dishrag and wash it and rinse it right away.

I don't have a dishwasher so I usually use scotchbrite on the underside of the blade. A stiff cleaning brush from back to front should work well also.
