George Foreman Grill Cleaning Tip

Here’s a cleaning hack for those of us with George Foreman Grills (as well as similar grills):

• After cooking, unplug the grill and lay three layers of wet paper towel across the hot plates (completely cover the plates). Close the lid and enjoy your meal.
• When ready for cleanup, remove the paper towels and wipe the grill clean with a fresh wet cloth or sponge.

The moisture and steam created by placing the wet towels between the hot plates loosens up the gunk and stubborn bits to make the cleanup a lot easier. If things are particularly stubborn and messy, finish up with a nylon scrubber or the plastic cleaning tool that came with the grill.

When preparing dishes that you know will create a nasty mess, you can first lightly spray the grill plates with olive oil before placing the food down. This will help with the cleanup afterward as well.
