The Easiest Way to Clean Your Contact Grill
There’s no doubt that an indoor contact grill makes grilling your favorite foods fast and easy. There’s also little doubt that people’s number one complaint about their grill is that they hate scrubbing the plates once they’re done cooking. Unless you have a removable plate grill where you can put the plates in the dishwasher, you have to scrub the plates thoroughly to remove all of the cooked-on fat and grease.
Now, straight from the experts in the George Foreman test kitchen, we have the easiest way ever to clean your George Foreman grill. It makes cleaning as easy as wiping the plates down with a damp towel. Here’s how it works:
- After you finish grilling, unplug your grill and allow it to cool down to at least lukewarm (you can allow it to cool completely, if preferred).
- Take damp paper towels and lay them over the entire surface of the bottom plate of the grill.
- Close the grill cover on top of the paper towels and let stand about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, open the grill cover and remove the paper towels.
- Now, simply wipe both plates down with a new damp paper towel.
It’s that simple and it really works! Of course, if you have a removable plate grill, putting the plates in the dishwasher is still probably the easiest method for cleanup, but for fixed-plate classic George Foreman grills, this is really the fastest, easiest way to get your grill clean after a great meal.
