how do you drain and or dispose of the drippings from cooking? Is there something that catches the grease/liquid like A CUP YOU CAN easily remove?

There is a hole at the bottom through which I drain the drippings after washing the surfaces, too. It's a messy process.

I use a normal wire brush to clean the grill's cooking surface...the drippings drop down and are collected in a disposable aluminum tray that you access from the front door...well designed.

I use a dry wadded up paper towel while the grill is still so hot (so the grease, etc., doesn't harden) and wipe downward following the ridges wiping off all of the grease. I then take a damp wadded up paper towel and repeat until the grill is clean. I then shut the grill off. Obviously keep your finders clear of the hot surfaces.

There is a drip tray and clean up is fairly easy. Only issue I had was when I let it get burned on.

You can cook gravy. The grease channel is just a little dip along one side of the grill where liquid can pool. I used mine to make a pot roast, a big pan of scrambled eggs, etc.

You need to use a spoon to get it out. There is no way to pour it. Its kinda messy pouring the grease in but i still like it. Its agood size and works well for me.

the heating element is underneath the top grill. Cleanup is pretty easy. Use sponges only due to the nonstick surface. Also remember to clean the drip Tray on the side. I forgot to clean it one time but I was reminded a week later by a horrible smell.

I suggest to put pan in sink, but alittle soap and water and then scrub with a soft scrubby. You can rinseas normal and then let drip dry.

Just put a cup under and drain until no more comes out. Also, the part where the coffee is comes out I believe. It's easy to maintain.

If you feel the need to use soap (and sometimes I do if what I cook in it is super greasy). Use only what you need to get the grease off. Leave some behind as it helps season the pan. I wouldn't bother with any cleaners or scrapers, you don't need them. Soak your pan if something really gets stuck. If it's seasoned well enough before you cook with, it should wipe off after soaking. Always towel dry your pans and rub vegetable oil all over it before storing it. This keeps it seasoned and won't rust. Happy cooking!

Sorry, I've not had accumulation of grease yet but am grateful for the suggestions given as I'm sure my turn will come soon. Dishwashing soap and water cleans all the other splatter for me. jey

it comes with a removable tray for oil and grease that drips down, however the grill surface still need to be cleaned carefully due to the build in heater-core. i just use a wet rag and soak it in water and wipe it down. Its much easier than you think.

YES, there is a drip pan that will catch all of it and is actually designed for you to put water in it if you do a "wet" smoke technique BUT... you will need to figure out a way to extract it as the meat cooks/smokes othewise depending on what you are smoking and how long it cooks, the drippings will completely evaporate or get all chared. Example Ribs may take 3 + hours in that case without interrupting the cooking temp/time and dumping out the juice it will be black and chared by the end. If you do 2 pork chops that take 30 minutes the drippings should be fine and very usable.

We have put the whole works in the dishwasher with good results. First we spray the drip pan and the grill unit with spam, Then grill and easy clean up with the dishwasher.....hope this helps

First of all, try to avoid reoccurrence of this situation by lining the bottom of the dehydrator with aluminum foil prior to use. Be careful not to block air flow. To clean greasy residue... I have found nothing better on the market than a product named "Greased Lightning". It will melt the grease and you can wipe it out with paper towel. Greased Lightning can be found in many Dollar Stores. U won't believe how good this stuff cleans.

In the back of the grill there is a cup that catches the grease. One can easily remove the reflector plate and the grill for easy cleaning.When you remove the reflector plate then just wipe up the left over grease in the bottom of the grill. We have been using these grills for yearsand love them. We have 3. One at our home up north and one down at our Fl home and an extra up north in case the one that sits outsideuncovered goes on the fritz. You will not be displeased with this product and food tastes and smells like it was grilled over coals unlike the George Foreman grills.Enjoy.Tim In the back of the grill there is a cup that catches the grease.

I think you just burn it off. I know you don't put it in the dishwasher. We oil is before every use.
