Can the grill plates be washed in the dishwasher or just the drip pan?

The grill plates are permanent. I purchased the 3 pack grill sponges and use these for easy clean up. The grill sponges do last a long time. The drip pan is easy to clean too as I just place it in soapy water which cleans in minutes. A dishwasher isn't really necessary.

No, the grill plates are not removable, which can make it very difficult to clean.

Honestly, I have never had to place it in the dishwasher. The handles snap off in a breeze, the drip tray rinses easily and the surface wipes clean. Even with cooking bacon or pancakes I simply wipe everything away. I made bacon this morning, I placed the whole pack on the surface(minus 3 pieces) when finished wiped clean and placed it above my fridge. If you pin me to an answer I am not sure with the cooking surface, you can definately place the handles and drip pan in the dish washer

Just use a wet towel to clean, and occasionally spray the plates with non stick spray, there will be very little mess because it's nonstick.

Yes, you can wash them in the dishwasher. Unfortunately, they get water spots unless you dry them.

Hi Rose, Clean up these stainless grills with a Brillo pad (e.g., steel wool with detergent) to get it to shine. Yes, it takes elbow grease but not a lot. I don't think the dishwasher would get it clean on both sides or it might make your dishwasher very dirty! Good luck!

Yes. Otherwise you would not be able to take them out to clean them. I remove the grates to clean them each time I use the grill. Also, I take out the burner covers to clean them and the drip pan guard.

The cooking plates are coated with non-stick cooking surface, therefore little cleaning is required. We advise to simply wipe cooking plates over with a damp cloth.

The best way i know how is to clean them with dish liquid (wash) let dry, put them on your grill and put a whole pack of bacon on them and cook till done. do not scrub them just drain the grease from you grill and you good to go! you could also just clean then coat them grates with cooking oil and cook on low that will look too.

I don't recommend machine wash. All you really need is a metal scrub and spong for soap cleaning. Remove the glass and grill part, let it soak in water to loose up the grease and scrub away. Takes about 2-5 min to clean it thoroughly and that's it to it. The lid must be gently clean trying not to wet the fryer area. Faster than doing a sink full of dishes.

This is the standard model - no removable grill plates. This is not a problem for me, since it is easily cleaned with a damp sponge and wiped with paper towels, given the nonstick surfaces. This is the third of this type I have had, over a number of years, because the non-stick surfaces do eventually wear out.

I have a second Foreman Grill after many years of using my first one satisfactorily. Both of these grills have removable plates which I washed in the dishwasher. My dissatisfaction was with one I ordered after using my first grill, not realizing it had non-removable plates that couldn't be washed in the dishwasher. I immediately returned it and purchased one that was removable. I am quite satisfied with it.

First soak in hot soapy water and then gently use light duty plastic scrub brush to clean the grill pan.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher, but the rivets are bare aluminum and susceptible to corrosion from the very caustic dishwashing detergent. They can be cleaned up and polished with a Brillo Pad.

I put the pans in the dishwasher most of the time. I do not like the set and don't care about voiding the warranty since everything tends to stick, especially the skillets.
