Most electric grills have removable cooking plates that can be easily cleaned either by hand or in the dishwasher. It is important to clean the grill immediately after use to prevent food residue from sticking. Use a damp cloth for the body of the device and avoid aggressive cleaners.

You can lightly brush the plates with a little oil or use non-stick spray before placing the food. Also, most grills have non-stick plates to reduce sticking.
