Are the grates in this waffle maker removable for hand washing?

no and you don't need to remove or handwash it! I used cooking spray only once. After I was dome making the waffles, all that is needed is a quick wipe down with a damp paper towel to clean whatever is on there (but let the grates cool off first.) I love how it stays clean and the batter does NOT sick! Follow the recipe for making waffles...most recipes only need a four minute cooking time! Good luck!

No, they are not but I just use a brush to wipe away any crumbs, and a paper towel. It stays clean because it is nonstick. You will not be disappointed.

Yes, they are washable and very easy to remove. Add water to them at the sink and rinse them clean, wring out and you are good to go.

No, it is a very easy clean-up. The non-stick coating works well. It says in the booklet that the grids are dishwasher safe, however my sister-in-law warned me and said that this would definitely affect performance, so I wash them by hand with hot water and non-abrasive soft brush.

I'm not sure if the plates are removable and I highly doubt they are dishwasher safe. They are coated non-stick coating and the instructions say to simply wipe clean with a paper towel or napkin. We simply spray with a small amount of oil and the waffles practically fall out when they are done. They don't stick.

I don't believe the plates are removable, and of course you couldn't stick the whole thing in the dishwasher, but truly this has been the "cleanest" waffle maker I've ever owned. I had for a long while quit making waffles because I found the waffle makers to be such a pain. I now make waffles at least twice a week. I've never had to do anything other than either blow a few dry crumbs out of the plates or lightly wipe with a dry towel. The waffles come out of this thing very cleanly. The non-stick of the panels is amazing. You don't even use oil or cooking spray! There is no residue to clean up.

Yes, there is grating under the plastic pan. The pan can easily be removed.

Just put it in the dishwasher. You can't do that with a waffle only machine.

Yes they can be removed. Here is a link to the PDF manual. You can look at the assembly instructions. http://content.charbroil.com/content/Char-Broil/Knowledge/11201677%20English.pdf

Yes! The grills do come out and I popped them right into the dishwasher, they cleaned up great! There was hardly anything on them at all because I sprayed them each time I cooked another waffle and absolutely nothing stuck to them. I was basically washing them just to get the slight grease off of them. Experiment a bit and don't overfill, and you will have great waffles.

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

No the grill grates cannot be removed for cleaning so do not even waste your time with this piece of junk. Thus, I purchased an electrical bbq guys stainless steel tabletop grill and it cooks better then my weber gas grill because it is so easy to clean. Lastly the grill grates for bbq guys is removeable. Best of luck, and please let me know if you need anything else Ronald, Omar.

I don't think you can remove the grills. I have never had to remove them to clean them. I just wipe them out with a papertowel. I am not an experienced cook but it is my understanding that, with this type of cookware, it is best to "season" it by just wiping it out rather than using soap and water. But I do use cooking spray with each waffle so the batter does not stick to the grills.

No. They're not. But they fit very tightly in the upper and lower housing of the iron. So although you can't put the whole iron in a dishwasher, hand-cleaning is very easy.

Yes, the porcelain enamel coated non-stick grate is a snap to remove and clean. I clean mine after every use.
