do you ad water to the grill prior to cooking?

No water is necessary. The lid keeps the moisture locked in. Your meats cook usually very moist & tender. I love this grill.

Only add water if you want to "smoke" cook your food. I usually dont use water to grill at all.

I don't add any water. I love this grill. It washes up so nicely and it cooks everything really well.

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?

We do not put anything on to seal before cooking. Doesn't seem necessary. To clean melted cheese or other grease or cooked particles I unplug the grill and wet a paper towel as soon as I finish cooking and carefully while the grill is still hot wipe down the hot grill, being careful not to let my fingers touch the hot grill. Works real well.

Before I use them each time, I just close the lid, crank the heat up and let them get good and hot. Then I hit them with the wire grill brush.

No, it does not. I used it again tonight instead of my gas or charcoal grills outside. before you start cooking, lift the grate off. Line the drip pan with aluminum foil. Put the grate back on and tear off another sheet of foil to hold the heat in and also to prevent any splattering on your counter top. Turn on your exhaust fan, if it Vents Outside. Clean it when you are through and store it in the box it came in. I have two now. One is my spare grill if I need to cook more meat. Allen in Mobile, Al. We cook out a lot here along the Gulf coast all year, Shrimp too!

The temperature gauge can be pulled out and you can wash most of the grill. I would just wipe down the plastic outside framework, but the rest should be okay. I very seldom use a dishwasher. You should have gotten written instructions, too.

I guess I have never had that problem since I allow the grill to heat a few minutes before I add anything. I usually have to cook at medium since I find at higher temp the outside cooks too fast. Good luck

It would be ok to do so, but I've had mine about a year now and don't think it is necessary. The metal plates the grills sit on take care of that. Just keep them clean & you'll be fine.

There are a couple of things you can do. First remove the grate and wash it (either dishwasher or by hand). You should now be able to wipe out the lower part of the grill with hot soapy water. Before replacing the grill, turn on the burner to burn off any materials that landed on the burner. Over time, you'll end up with materials in the grill that are pretty difficult to remove, but they kind of turn to char over time...adding to the flavors!

I always start with hot grates before placing my meats on the grill. I'm sure you don't Have to temper the grates, but its automatic with how I cook. The grates are thin metal, so they will heat rapidly either way.Good Luck.

Spray the grates with vegetable oil and fire up the grill.The grates will be fine.This is the best grill I've ever owned. Tonight,I grilled corn,onions,baby back ribs and hamburgers.I love it.

I don't know....it is not necessary! Take a dishcloth & wipe the grill off and it is clean. Cleans up very nice, we use it for everything!

I have always been told that all grills should be used or pre heated for about 15 min. (400f) prior to first use to season the grill to: sanitize, remove oils, paint, rubber etc., and each subsequent use to burn off leftover food particles left on grill from previous use sanitize.

I haven't noticed any excess water. I suppose if the grill isn't somewhat sheltered and driving thunderstorm could allow some water into the vents. Otherwise, it works fine for me. I'm quite satisified.

You should allow any grill to cool completely before you cover it with any fabric cover. Otherwise it's a fire hazard.

Heat the grill up to temperature, oil the grates using a rolled up paper towel saturated with vegetable oil and you should be fine. I rarely have food stick to this grill and I've been using it for over 3 yrs. now. Cleanup is a breeze, just brush it down with a grill brush after you finish cooking while the grill is still hot and then again before you start cooking. Wait until the grill is hot and brush it down again and then oil the grates as I mentioned above.

I just soak it in soapy water for a few moments and I use a soft scrubber and yes it did leave grill marks on it . I love my broiler pan .
