Simple Green sprayed on a wet sponge, then wipe clean with a clean cloth. Unplug everyyhing first.

Sorry, I've not had accumulation of grease yet but am grateful for the suggestions given as I'm sure my turn will come soon. Dishwashing soap and water cleans all the other splatter for me. jey

wipe out the bits with stiff brush or other similar thing. paper towel for excess oil. the oil can stay on the grill a long time without harm to the next batch.My unit died and I threw it away. Not well made inside I guess.

It's suitable for a small amount which I have done. I usually cook bacon on a rack in the oven so all the oil goes in the drip pan. When I do fry it in the pan I drain out the oil half way through cooking or else it doesn't get crispy.

The exterior is stainless steel so it's an easy clean-up. I always take it off my stove if I'm going to cook anything that might spatter but if it gets greasy, just spray on some Windex or other kitchen cleaner(Lysol spray on) on the exterior and then dry with a clean paper towel or dish towel. Mine always shines and looks brand new and I've had it for at least a couple of years. A clean dish cloth with a tiny amount of Dawn dishwashing liquid is also a wonderful idea to remove the grease.

I use alcohol or vinegar on a low lint cloth and wipe it gently. It's in my kitchen so I just did this and it removed the grease pretty well. In another room I have similar and it it's easier because it's just dust so the before mentioned or one of the Swiffer lint clothes would probably work well.

Jason, I never have used it because it is just too big for the amount of bacon grease I collect. Sorry.

I once read a suggestion that works: rub some vegetable oil (any kind will do, I assume) into the cold pan, and then add some Kosher salt and rub that into pan. Wipe dry. When you're ready to use, warm it a little, add a little more oil, and add the food for cooking.. It was suggested to me that I not wash the pan after, but just wipe it clean (sort of like cast iron treatments), but I have cleaned it and then repeated the oil and salt as needed. It works pretty nicely. By the way, if you get any stains on it, I have found that Barkeeper's Friend works miracles!

Well, I'm lazy. At first I was emptying the oil after every use which was easy to clean but it became a huge hassle so I stopped doing so. Depending on how long you keep the grease in the fryer will determine how difficult it will be to clean it. I'm not going to lie, I kept grease in this fryer for a few months. When I was ready to clean it I let it sit in some hot degreasing dish washing liquid over night, the next day it took about twenty or so minutes to get it completely clean.

I always have bacon drippings in it and I just wipe off the outside with a Lysol wipe and sometimes windex. The ammonia in windex kills bacteria and Lysol kills 99% of bacteria. Lysol is my favorite cleaner.

When still hot, you can pour the grease out; once it hardens, you can wipe it out with paper towel. I run mine through the dishwasher, but washing by hand in hot soapy water should work just fine. We use ours 2-3 times a week. I love it & am amazed how much grease comes out of 6 slices of bacon.

I would check with mfgr but I would think any oil will work to help season. Bacon grease works best for me

We heated it up on the stove and wiped it off. You must keep it seasoned with oil any way.

We used Barkeepers Friend cream cleanser and small sponge. We had to let the baked-on grease stains sit in soapy hot water solution for the fry pan.

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.

It gets pretty greasy, so I put it in a bowl with hot water (not extremely hot) and dish soap. Soak it for a few hours and just scrub it on itself with your hands. Rinse very well and lay out to dry on the counter. Wash after a few uses.

Just take one side of it and press to the edge. The other side will pop up and you can remove it easily. Its not so much the moisture as it is the oil buildup. Remember to clean with mild soap and hot water frequently. this should help

I use solid oils and leave in at all times. About once a year, or if I cook fish, I strain the grease and put it back after I have cleaned the unit.
