I used to take my GEORGE to the car wash once a year to degrease and power wash. Then I saw a hack about using parchment paper to line the grill. I shared this trick with family members. Some didn't have "gfg" at the time, but good news travels fast! The paper liner lasts about 5 pounds of bacon, burgers, or what have. A damp cloth is all that's needed. It's that simple. By the way I'm in my seventies, so you know is easy and simple. Just as a side note, I tried cutting those copper oven grill mats.... parchment paper is the best. The grill marks work great. For cooking tuna steaks, I use aluminum foil over the parchment paper to enhance the grill marks because of the short grilling time. Hope you find this helpful.👍🥑🤔

Hi @jackhembree2503, thanks so much for sharing your helpful tips 🥰❤🥦🍔

[@Sam-rz3rd]

I use a water spray bottle for this and wipe after heating. It's a great, no fuss way to clean it.

[@dgee3831]

I DO THIS, SO EASY

[@umuttiraki8405]

Nasıl yapılıyor yardımcı olurmusunuz suyun içine ne katıyorsunuz

[@Sam-rz3rd]

@@umuttiraki8405 Only water. The heat once you switch off the appliance creates enough steam with the light particles of water to clean it. Spray the top and bottom with 2 or 3 squirts and close for 20 seconds, and then just wipe with a reusable cloth or kitchen towel. Repeat if needed. Usually the first one works perfectly.

Your video was a lot better then some I seen on here , one guy put it in the sink to clean it ! guess he don't know you don't put electric things in the sink, even if its unpluged lol The way I always cleaned mine is heat it up ,unplug it and put at the edge of sink . Use a wet sponge an wipe right off easy peasy !!

[@diyfab]

:) glad you liked the video, agreed definitely never try and clean in the sink because i found that holding the lid back and trying to wash/clean in the sink broke the lid off of my old foreman! Thanks for watching! :)

Hiya! Oh no sorry you you threw your grill out but glad you found the video useful and will be getting another! You're very welcome :)

That's the same reason that I quit using mine. I always wished that they would have had removable inserts.

I leave it on after taking the food off. I then squeese water from a dish cloth over it. then wipe both top and bottom hot plates. I love my grill I'm on my 2nd one after the non stick wore out.

That sounds like a really good easy way to clean it, we shall try it the next time i use mine! Thank you for watching! :)

[@Falconlibrary]

I have a newer version that has removable plates that are allegedly dishwasher safe. I soak them in a pan and then hand-clean them.

[@oneman2001]

l use wet paper towels, 2 is enough for large sized grill. Close and heat for a couple of minutes and remove with tongs. My grill is nearing 20 years old and the plates still look like new despite being used weekly.

[@surfside16]

I saw another video where the person used parchment paper over the bottom and over the top of the food then just threw the paper away afterwards. I tried it and it worked well.

[@diyfab]

Hi that sounds like a great tip! I will test it out many thanks for sharing :)

[@goodgrieflouise3145]

Or you can try what I do and get you some ReynoldsKitchen Parchment Paper Cookie Sheets and unfold them and place them on the grill. The fold obviously needs to be at the hinged part of the grill. Place the meats between the top & bottom of the sheet just like you would without the parchment paper and close the lid. The parchment will not burn and it won't stop the meats from browning or getting the grill marks. I make sure the drip edge will still let the liquid flow out and into the catch tray. I also line my catch tray with foil. When your through cooking the cleanup is almost non existent.

[@sonnyjim6451]

I just use a wet sponge to clean it after each use (not a scourer as that will remove the non-stick lining). Looks brand new every time but isn't ideal if you're lazy.

[@dreasmom2789]

Paper towels actually scratch the coating on the grill. Remember paper towels are made out of wood pulp.

[@diyfab]

dreas mom hi there apologies have only just seen this, I did not know that thank you so much I will switch to a cloth thank you! 💕

[@anniejones5204]

There is a spray in the uk called hg grease remover, its the best ive ever used,it would shift that in seconds

[@Robert127]

you can also get some wet paper towels and place them on the grill your just steaming it clean just preheat the grill good and hot with a spaghetti scooper to remove and clean

[@anniefannycharles9951]

I've grilled everything on mine and it's never looked like that b4 I've cleaned it. All I have to use is a strong moist paper towel with a tiny bit of dawn. I wipe it down easily. Then I take another wet paper towel to basically rinse it. Then I dry it. Maybe it's because I always spray with cooking oil that nothing ever sticks.

[@johngadcke2609]

I always wipe mine down after I’m finished cooking with a couple of paper towels, that works good

[@ThaoNguyen-yb6xq]

Dear DIY. Could one use baking soda and vinegar to clean an electric grill? The cleaning solvents are powerful and the elements (vinegar) are edible.

[@JezzaDJ8]

if you could take out the grill plates then you could clean them in hot soapy water. Stupid design.

[@diyfab]

Thats an excellent idea! :) Yes definitely a pain!

[@Gin81593]

new george foreman grills come with detachable plates.

[@LewisBrain]

some come off but you are gonna pay way more for these modles. All you need to do is squeeze a dish cloth over the bottom plate. Watch the water fizz then wipe untill clean. turn off and leave open to cool.

[@phaneserichthoneus8895]

Yeah, I've got a very old Dazey clamshell grill. It comes with four plates, two of two different kind for the top and bottom of the contraption. One set has a flat side and a waffle side. The other set is just for triangular sandwiches and you should really only use one side of those. I've got that and a George Foreman grill. I hardly ever use either one of them. I don't like my particular GF grill because the plates can't be removed. And I hardly ever use the Dazey because it's so old I'm afraid it might try to catch on fire if I plug it in. Plus I'd rather just splatter hamburger patty grease all over the stove so I can clean it up afterward.

Hi unfortunately oven cleaners and the like are full of chemicals and very toxic for our health! I wouldn't advise that. How about trying vinegar/lemon instead that might work! :)

[@alanmorris7669]

@@diyfab I use Oven Cleaner because I don't want to scrub the griddle. I can easily wipe off the mess in just seconds. Air fresheners, hair spray, cigarette lighters and deodorant are also toxic fluorocarbons... so who really cares? I don't.

[@zappzapper]

I had that problem but now I use aluminum foil. I use two sheets bottom, food, top and fold three sides and let it drip in it's tray with another sheet of aluminum foil catching the juice.

I'm lazier and got a better way for you and it hasn't broke and I've had it a long time. Heat it Spray rinse it under your sink possibly wipe if needed repeat. Sandwich makers and waffles irons seem to have held up good too. Less residue to actually wipe off. Of course try to throw your grease plate in the trash to avoid clogging your sink. I tend to heat it again to dry and sanitize it after as well.
