Other than the one review stating grease comes out the back, has anyone else had this issus and if so is there a simple solution?

Grease can come out of the back of the lid while cooking brats. I haven't had the issue with other meat.

There is a location where grease is to drain. The grill comes with a cup to catch the grease. You can also use a soup or vegetable can. That's the only location where grease comes out of the grill that we have seen.

There is one hole in the center and it drains into the six inch tray. I don't think there has been any problem with grease....mostly use it for French toast and pancakes.

get some barkeepers friend. It will remove it right away. I use it on my all clad pans, and it doesn't disappoint

..check on how level your griddle is..sounds like it's flowing away from the side grease spout is on.. if you get it exactly level, you can just scrape it towards the drain..have it just slightly forward..

I wipe it first with a paper towel and then wash it in Dawn and rinse in really hot water. Dawn is the best grease removing dish detergent I have found.

First of all, try to avoid reoccurrence of this situation by lining the bottom of the dehydrator with aluminum foil prior to use. Be careful not to block air flow. To clean greasy residue... I have found nothing better on the market than a product named "Greased Lightning". It will melt the grease and you can wipe it out with paper towel. Greased Lightning can be found in many Dollar Stores. U won't believe how good this stuff cleans.

I have a bit of trouble with this too.Trick is :DO NOT un screw the bottom. You are going to have to to sit on your butt , take your right leg and pull on the plunger till it locks to the notch on the bottom. What ever you do , do not knock the plunger . insert the cartridge open end down. Peel off the top of the cartridge .Screw the top of the grease gun down.There is no reason ever to remove the bottom of the grease gun. This is the best grease gun I have ever owned.

IF let's off a fair amount of smoke. I was not very happy, and would net rocommend. For me, the problem I had was it got too hot, even on the lowest of settings for my gas burner. Also, it's impossible to clean, without scraping of the coating. the last time I used it was to sear tuna. I let it sit for a day and scrubbed very hard to remove the residue. I used a sponge,then a soappad, becasue the sponge did nothing for the black residue ledt behind. I scrubbed so hard some of the costing rubbed off, and there is still residue left? Hope you have better luck and this was helpful

Yes, I have had it with mine too... I just ignore it :/ I assumed it just needed a little grease or tightened.

I suspect it has a little dirt or grit between the two ramp pieces. You may be able to flush it out by running some water in the area between the inner and outer ramp. I would not use any kind of lubricant (oil) because it will just become a dirt magnet and will eventually make things worse.

A bristle brush and hot water does the trick for me. I use mild detergent and haven't seen anything go wrong yet. Although my mom said it's better to use lemon juice to clean the grease instead, but then again she is a little more old school than me.

This grease has already been stabilized (broken it) which is why it appears dark. Make sure you remove as much of the original grease as possible. Failure to do so will cause premature separation in the new grease. Additionally, DO NOT USE CITRUS CLEANERS as they will damage the mild steel gears in the main assembly.

Grease and is really visual. You don't want to use any ruff material. I do a grease cleaner then go over it with baby oil if you want it to look like new. Yep baby oil I sad it olive oil work to to don't get any streeks

I would try spaying some grease first. If that doesn't last long yes replace.

I have not had to grease mine. I love this pan and have used it several time for things other than muffins.

I used mine the first day that I received it (few weeks ago) and it currently has a can of grease inside without any leaks or noticeable damage

I did so with mine and it is running like new. Do not wait to long. The grease inside turns to liquid and then just flows out of the machine with no warning. Repacked it and it is quiet. There is a video on the internet on how to do the repacking.
