Once cool I normally Lodge plastic pan scrapers. If very dirty I occasionally use water and kosher salt. Once dry apply cooking oil to prevent rusting.

I scrub the grates like Deborah after every use., I don't line the top and bottom with foil. When the 'bowl' gets greasy, I spray it with oven cleaner, let stand for 10 minutes then wipe and rinse clean in my sink.

Once you finish cooking, unplug the grill then fold a damp paper towel and put it in the grill, it will steam clean itself. When you're done eating just wipe it down with the paper towel! Super easy cleanup. I use mine at least once a day.

Always clean the fryer after use. Carefully pour the oil into a glass jar to store and strain out any residual food that may be in the oil.

Before 1st use, I boiled all the parts for 3-5 minutes. After that, I just clean with mild soap and warm water. I also use a tiny wire bristle brush to clean the spout (I think that is from Dr. Browns also).

Wash with hot water and scrub brush (no soap). Dry on stove top burner. Let cool down then rub with oil.

Cleaning up after burgers: My method is to take a few folded paper towels and wet them and clean the grill while it's still warm. All the grease runs into the drip tray while cooking so you just want to get the hard stuff off the grids. After it cools down, I clean it again with wet paper towels and it's good to go. If you prefer, you can add some dish soap to the paper towels but remember to follow up with wet paper towels or a sponge to get all the soap off.

I spray it with cooking oil before using. Anything still stuck I use a Brillo pad on. Overall not too hard to clean

I would use one of those scratchy cleaning cloths first, then oil it well. Heat it some to help it sink in. Afterwards only clean with water, swish out the food with the scratchy pad, dry, re-oil and you should be good to go.

No problem. Wash by hand or in the dishwasher. Check for dried on residue if it's not washed right after use.

I use a powdered soap like Ajax or Comet. Heat the pan in hot soap water, pull it out and scrub. If that doesn't work try over cleaner outside.

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 get best cooking results using a high heat fat such as ghee to prevent sticking. For cleaning if something does stick I use BarKeepers friend powder and a plastic scrubber but scrub lightly. Usually letting the griddle soak on the counter top with a little water will loosen anything stuck on. Always dry the griddle on heat and apply some oil all over the cooking surface lightly so it's ready for next use.

After removing the eggs, put some water in the pan enough to cover the bottom. Heat, turn off and then add dishwashing liquid to soak before washing. Hope this helps.

I wash my pan in mild dish soap and dry with a towel immediately. Take a little cooking oil or olive oil and rub in with a soft cloth to all cooking areas of the pan.

I usually soak mine, over night with dish soap, but I have notice that has time and use wear and tear, its getting more dificult to clean, even after spraying non-stick spray before cooking.

Only water- more you use more it gets seasoned- don't use any brush or metal- Like any cast iron- after I use I clean while hot still on grill- I use soaking wet paper towel and with a tong wipe down with wet towel- push any fat droplets off to side
