Countertop grills are great. They sear food quickly, all of the fat drips off into a little pan, and they are convenient. Cleaning them, on the other hand, is not so good. They can become very greasy, and the food, or what you marinate it in, can stick to the surface.
Next time you have dinner with George Forman, try this tip.
Once you remove the food, unplug the appliance and place a thick stack of water soaked paper towels on the surface and close the grill. Once you are done eating, and the grill has cooled, remove the paper towels, and with it, a large amount of grease and debris. It will be much easier to wipe down now that the bulk of the mess has been eliminated.
Try this technique on your panini press or waffle iron for the same easy to clean results.
You’re welcome!
