Quick Guide to Cleaning Your George Foreman Grill

The best thing you can do is to prevent things from sticking to the grill plates is wrapping the surfaces. This will help when you go to clean your George Foreman.

However, there are alternatives to wrapping your grill plates with aluminum foil

Just don’t leave the food bits to harden in the first place.

One of the worst things you can do is turn off the grill after you’re done with it. This allows the food debris and grease to harden and cool.

If your grill has detachable plates, remove them and soak them right away. If you have non-removable plates, simply wipe them clean while the surface is still warm.

However, if you allow the grill plates to cool by mistake, all is not lost. You can always use baking soda powder to loosen up any tough food particles.

Simply sprinkle a small amount on, dribble a few droplets of water over it, and let it work its magic. (For very tough instances, combine it with a little white vinegar!) Just do this and you’ll be left with a clean grill every time!
