Do the grill plates come off for cleaning?

no, but it does not stick, therefore, cleaning with the damp towel is enough. You may want to get between the cracks using the back back of a spreading knife. Love it..

no, but it is non stick. A damp kitchen towel will do the trick, if there is something there, using a back of a spreading knife pressed on the towel and get it out. Good luck.

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.

No. But easy to wipe off. I usually do not grill with fat or oil as it is non stick. It works great. The paint can come off a little, but so worth the price. I am getting another.

The cooking plates are coated with non-stick cooking surface, therefore little cleaning is required. We advise to simply wipe cooking plates over with a damp cloth.

I have had 3 Forman grills, one with the removable plates and two without. I never put my removable plates in the dishwater, but did remove them of wash/rinse them off. It is probably a personal preference and might depend upon the kind of meat and what sauce or seasoning you might use. MH Lawry

No the plate is not removeable, but it is not stick and very easy to just take a dishcloth & wipe it off if you just cooked pancakes or eggs...if you cooked something a bit greasier like sausage just use a soapy cloth and wipe over & a clean cloth or damp paper towel to wipe over after that....cleans up very nicely! This is the 3rd one our family has owned. We wear them out because we use it sooo often, living full time in an RV. Highly recommend it! I have owned others on the market & was excited to still find this one available on Amazon!!

Just get a grill cleaning brush. I use my brush to clean the grates after I use my grill and I've never had an issue getting anything off.

No, the plates are not removable. I always spray them with nonstick spray before I use it and have never had anything stick. I just wipe them off with a damp paper towel after use.

No because they fold into the grill for storage and fold out for grilling. Not sure if you can remove them because I haven't tried. They are so easy to flip out and back in.

It is just with the grids, they do not pop out for cleaning and are not reversible for the flat plates. I love mine.

Amy, the plates are not removeable, but if you season it according to directions all you do is remove the waffle after cooking and the plates remain clean. My brother has this same waffle maker and after seeing his I bought this one because I also had another one that I stopped using because it was a pain to use and clean. You may need to wipe the outside of the maker if some batter spills over the edge. I don't think you'll be disappointed if you buy this product

I have a second Foreman Grill after many years of using my first one satisfactorily. Both of these grills have removable plates which I washed in the dishwasher. My dissatisfaction was with one I ordered after using my first grill, not realizing it had non-removable plates that couldn't be washed in the dishwasher. I immediately returned it and purchased one that was removable. I am quite satisfied with it.

They don,t appear to be removable. That has not been a problem for me. I hit it with a shot of Pam when I pour in the batter. That combined with what appears to be a great Teflon covering prevent sticking. After use I just wipe it down. One point follow the directions for pouring in the batter. To much and it will will pop the grill open and make a mess. One other point when you turn it on to make your first waffle wait approx. a minute after it beeps its ready. I love this machine makes GREAT waffles. The first one will seem slow but when you get going you can really get the production going. By the way the waffles are big.

They will come off, just hit them with a blow dryer to loosen the tape. The grill is plastic and a solid color throughout.

yes, both top and bottom plates are removable for easy cleaning. i love this and use it much more than my grill now

No, but it really is non-stick so we just wipe it down after it cools off. We do brush a tiny bit of oil onto the plates when we use it like others recommend, so we keep a little folded paper towel in it when we put it away to catch any oil we might have missed when wiping it out.

No they do not. They are actually pretty light weight. I am careful not to stress the boards, for fear they will crack and break. Nice grill except for that and the shipping damage.
