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

Just like you would a cast iron skillet... mild soap and water, rinse throughly, dry immediately, and reseason with vegetable oil.

I clean my pot with either brass or steel pot scrubber. I also use soap and very hot water once it is well cured...I then place on burner and dry pot with heat. If I do not plan on using within a few days I wipe with towel with small amount of cooking oil.

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.

I clean mine by pouring out the excess grease and then wiping with a paper towel. Then I soak it in hot water with Dawn dishwashing liquid for 30 to 60 minutes. Then I use a teflon scrub brush or Scotch Brite Dobie cleaning pad which cleans without scratching.

Sorry for the delay in your answer. Yes, the griddle can be removed for easier cleaning.

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.

While skillet is still warm, dump in some kosher salt. Scrub under running water with a sponge or stiff brush. Rinse. Sometimes I need to repeat until the salt stays white (esp true if I cooked up bacon). Dry completely and immediately. Use a little bit of grapeseed oil to protect the pan. You don't want to use soap, steel wool, or put the pan in the dishwasher as it will strip the pan's seasoning. You also don't want to soak the pan in water because the pan will rust.

Clean the grill while it is still hot with water and soap. Rub rub rub and done. It will clean easily.

I would use a nylon spatula and sponge with a little soap and gently rub it out. Clean it after each use carefully as mentioned after turning it off for about ten mins.

the heating element is underneath the top grill. Cleanup is pretty easy. Use sponges only due to the nonstick surface. Also remember to clean the drip Tray on the side. I forgot to clean it one time but I was reminded a week later by a horrible smell.

I haven't used it since last fall but I believe the grill rack, griddle etc... sits on a deep pan that the grease goes into so you can then dump it into the garbage, wipe it with paper towels then wash it up with your other dishes. Cleans up nice.

Well after I clean it I spray a light coating of "high heat" Pam cooking spray and with a cloth wipe the entire grill down and then cover with a plastic cover for the winter! I hope this helps.

Use tin foil, you don't have to clean ANYTHING. I even line the fat catcher up in tin foil! After you're done cooking, just throw the foil away and everything remains clean!

First, you line the top and bottom with heavy tin foil. Make sure to leave a hole at the bottom for the grease dripping to fall to the pan below. After I cook, I have a water mist sprayer. I have a grill brush and scrub the grates. The mist turns to steam and helps get the stubborn stuff off. When the tin foil gets yucky, I replace it with fresh. Especially good if you travel with the grill and don't want grease in your car. Deb

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.

Rinse it under warm water. Remove from water and then scrub vigorously any areas where food has stuck of any glazing (as from fat) has developed. Rinse with water again to wash clean. Dry it with clean rag or paper towel. Clean rags to the best job, as they don't get chewed up by the salt's surface. When nicely dry, set on drying rack, or any place where it can air dry.

To clean the pan just boil a couple of cups of water in the pan then wash with soap and water the first time only. Dry the pan immediately, give it a very light coat of Canola oil and heat it evenly over the stove until it turns golden...try not to overheat, if it starts to smoke take it off the fire. You could do that in the oven if yours is large enough to hold the pan, 350F I believe like a cast iron dutch oven. Do this after every use. To clean after use I just use water and scrub pad for anything stuck. A little oil, back over the fire, then wipe it out with a paper towel and it's ready for storage.
