Do you have to use the plate?

No. We have a single hole. The plate is included if you have 2 other holes to cover. It looks nice without the plate.

No. We did not use the plate. You only need to use the plate if you have to cover up extra holes (if the sink was drilled for a 3-hole faucet).

No... in case you have 3 holes in your existing sink basin(if any).... this plate helps to cover other two holes....

It comes with a plate but on the 3 products I had, it was not possible to get out the plate. Check out my short review on it: http://youtu.be/SzDW5RwbDg4

No it doesn't. The plates aren't removable and there are no extra plates included.

No, but it really is non-stick so we just wipe it down after it cools off. We do brush a tiny bit of oil onto the plates when we use it like others recommend, so we keep a little folded paper towel in it when we put it away to catch any oil we might have missed when wiping it out.

I bought this item for my daughter, so I don't use it, but she uses it a lot. To the best of my knowledge, the plate is not removable, but will wipe clean when it cools down. Hope this helps.

No, it's optional. We mounted ours without a base plate and it is beautiful.

No - it isn't necessary. I did remove it for a while until I read someplace that it wasn't required. And my dishes and glassware seemed to look better after I quit removing it, too. Hope this helps. Not much in the way of instruction comes with the product.

You need to clean the plate and the bottom of the unit after each use. If you don't you risk of a grease fire.

You don't have to transfer to a plate. They can be removed by hand or you could provide tongs.

It needs a base plate if you are going to move it fully assembled from one table to another, or if a younger sibling is going to be playing with it. It's fine if played with by a careful child and not moved too much.

Yes. You can use it with or without the plate. The plate will cover a standard 3-hole, 4" center, sink.

I do, that is why I bought it. I just sit it on the glass plate. Works great.

No. The plates clean up with a paper towel. It's non stick so it's easy. The grill is a perfect size for one person.

No, you don't need the base plate at all. It's purpose is to cover up the unused holes should you be installing the faucet with a sink that has 3 holes. If you have a sink with 1 hole only you don't need the plate.

very easy, just wash it in soapy water - all parts are removable. You can use a brush for the plate.
