do the plates unhook and come out so I can wash them?

No,they do not. But, after I use the press I place paper towels between to soak up the excess oil. Leave it stand until completely cool. Then wipe down to store. This is how I seasoned it for the next use. Same as my original top of the stove irons. This is a wonderful press.

No, the plates are NOT removable for washing. However, I find that they can be easily cleaned using a damp dishcloth and a clean toothbrush, if necessary. With the exception of recipes containing chocolate (chocolate, not cocoa powder), I have not had anything stick to the plates when I prepare them according to the directions that came with the press.

No. Also, they are easy to wash. I give them a quick rinse and put them in the dishwaher.

No, I didn't just as I wouldn't with other disposable plates. These can be washed however, and also reused.

No, the plates don't come off but if you follow the directions and put vegetable oil on first, clean-up is super easy. One paper towel and you're done.

They do not if you wash them properly. Do not put them in the dishwasher even though they are dishwasher safe. They will warp and then not fit properly on the board. I have had mine for months and no problems at all. I would recommend them. I do save a couple so if I have guests I am not displaying the ones that are all scratched up.

No. They are to be hand washed. In the dishwasher they would rust even more. I hope this helps!

No, I have washed mine plenty in the dishwasher and they are still good as new!

I don't have a dishwasher, but I would say yes. But honestly, save your money...these plates are not worth it. I wish I had returned them a long time ago.

The waffle plates are not removable but they are easy to keep clean since they are non-stick. I simply wipe mine with a paper towel.

I wash them by hand. They would probably be fine on the dishwasher, but I rather not risk it.

They are removable so you can wash them. The one you saw was probably put back on backwards. Either way, great buy!

Follow directions to wash & dry bottom plates - probably some dirt shorting out plates

I have washed mine by hand so far. They come clean so easily I haven't felt the need to put them in the dishwasher!

Sorry. I do not wash in dish washer. We use these dishes in our travel trailer. They pack very nicely and compactly into three padded china storage zippered containers, so they ought to stack very compactly in a kitchen cabinet. My husband loves these dishes. And when you find a china set that a Southern Redneck loves, well, you know you have found a real special set of china, (no mossy oak and antlers on these plates). All kidding aside these are real nice dishes you won't be disappointed. They quite colorfully, that what my husband likes about them.

No, but I never wash them in the dishwasher either. Always hand wash and dry.

Yes; at the front left corner of both the top and bottom piece is a black button to push. Then the cooking plates come right out. They clean very easily, I was impressed.

Yes, but it is recommended to hand wash them. If you flip them inside out they wipe clean really easy. They are so light I think they would just fly around inside of the dishwasher. I have only hand washed mine.
