Do the plates come off for cleaning?

No. Never known a pizzelle maker where plates came off. Just use damp paper towel. Throw out first two cookies of next batch if you are worried. Yea, for non-stick!

On mine, they're painted on. So far haven't come off or anything, but we don't own a dishwasher and so only wash it by hand.

No, they don't, but I wash them off while its warm with water and the gunk slides right off.

This is the standard model - no removable grill plates. This is not a problem for me, since it is easily cleaned with a damp sponge and wiped with paper towels, given the nonstick surfaces. This is the third of this type I have had, over a number of years, because the non-stick surfaces do eventually wear out.

I've had mine for 4 1/2 years, made many hundreds of waffles in it and never had to clean the plates. I add less than 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil to my batter for each waffle, which no doubt facilitates the batter not sticking to the plates. I haven't always but lately sprinkle seeds on top the the batter before closing the lid (usually sesame on top, sometimes sunflower on the bottom plate before dropping in the batter). Either way, I have no need to clean the plates. You could say they are self-cleaning.

The plates don't need to be replaced. You can use a cleaning cartridge or run the acidic water backwards to clean the plates if necessary. Usually we recommend doing that once in 1-2 years. We provide the instructions on how to do it.

Hi,The grill plates do not come off for cleaning. It is not a problem because cleanup is very easy with normal dish cleaning tools...ie JLD Scrubbie is perfect...George Foreman grill sponge is also really good. Both last an amazingly long time.

Yes, they are easily removed. I can't say I'd recommend taking them off though... Why do you want to do this?

No, the plates don't come off but if you follow the directions and put vegetable oil on first, clean-up is super easy. One paper towel and you're done.

Yes....but I am not sure why, if the plate has already been cleaned. This product is used in countless restaurants.

Yes the plate is removable.just make sure the other plate you use is the same size and style

No, but if you use spray the plates with a product like Pam before you use the waffle iron (after heating as directed) then the waffle iron is very easy to keep clean. I use it very often and have never had any problems cleaning it, even if the batter runs out the sides it wipes right off.

NO, they leave marks on them. We thought we were getting new plates and received used and had to use them. They had chocolate all over them. Won't be purchasing again

Yes; at the front left corner of both the top and bottom piece is a black button to push. Then the cooking plates come right out. They clean very easily, I was impressed.

Yes, it does come off as long as you wash them right after use. Also, don't use excess Pam. My daughter put too much Pam and I had to soak the pan to get the residue off. I love these pans. They work great for everything.

You can run hot water over them and they come right off. Especially when you wash in dishwasher they go on and off smoothly. They need the heat. I love my so much, they are not messy etc. Hope this helps you!

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.
