Does the plate top remove?? I'd be concerned about mold if you can't thoroughly clean the inside part.

No it is not remove able. I just swish a tiny bit of bleach in there with the dish water. Never had a mold problem. Keeps the kids' food nice and warm even though they are slooooow eaters!

No, it doesn't. I add soap and hot water and shake it vigorously to clean. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. I would also recommend putting the warmed dish on some sort of placemat. The hot water does mar a wooden table. Other than that, they are great dishes. We have twins.

you don't, you wash very well with hot soapy water after use if it gets dirty, I never find I have issue with things getting inside the top to mold. I always give mine a good thorough rinse with very hot water (my tap is over 125 degrees) and let completely air dry before I reassemble and put away, for you I would suggest a soaking in HOT bleach solution and let air dry COMPLETLY.

waffle plates have become encrusted with mold because owner was in hospital getting a new heart and could not clean the plates before he went in. What is the best way to clean off the mold and crusty crap on the plates? Can I just wash them under the faucet?

Yes. You have to take the parts out of the top but they come apart and go back together easily. I just rinse mine off and perhaps give light scrub with a soapy sponge now and then.

I get pink mold, but white vinegar takes it right off. Also, I remove the interior part that comes out (not the water tank) and put it in the dishwasher.

Yes, the top sections all come apart for very easy cleanup. Have had no clogging problems whatsoever. I haven't put the parts in dishwasher, I just rinse with soap and water and wipe dry.

Yes the top part is removable. Inface the scale goes inside the food container and the food container comes with a lid. That's how they have it packaged. It should be dish washer safe.

I have found that if I clean it out after I've used it, I have no problem getting it clean. When you take the top off, there is plenty of room to get your hand in there with a sponge. The only possible problematic area would be the spout. If you let it sit with gunk in it for a day or two, it takes a little more than a simple rinse, though rinsing it out with very hot water usually does the trick just fine. I am very satisfied with this separator. I think you will be too.

i don't clean the inside. I just leave it in the window. it still works after three years. if you were supposed to clean the Styrofoam there would be a way to get to it.

Too new to know yet. So far not that difficult to clean but will see after time if it retains mold building moisture. Hope this helps.

You have to remove it. You can purchase additional bowls for multiple recipes, replace them, etc... It's not internal.

Never had that problem. It's simple. Just before removing the mold, run it under warm water at the faucet. It should slide right out.

No mold problems yet, but I've only had this for a few months. We leave it on all the time. If it were to get mold I'd put it in the dishwasher.

I own one and it is NOT difficult to clean. Initially I scrubbed the parts with ajax to get rid of the layer mold. It was difficult and took a lot of time to do... but later I realized if I soak the main three component parts in a bleach water mixture, there is NO SCRUBBING TO DO! It does a great job and the mold gets killed off by the bleach everywhere in the unit! After a few hours, just rinse the parts, that's all! No rubbing or scrubbing!!!

The plates do not come off. I clean it with a sponge and then rinse it letting the water run off. It cannot be submerged but if you hold it sideways under running water, you can rinse it without doing damage. It cleans up very easily.

Great question... I have not cleaned it yet. It looks like it may be challenging to take apart, but I am not completely sure.
