I'm now using my grill more than ever -- with no clean-up after!! Cover the grill plates with aluminum foil. It works. I put foil over the bottom. Fold it over the edges on three sides. Press the foil again the "teeth" so the foil tears in order that the grease can still drain. I lay a piece of foil over whatever I'm grilling just before I close it rather than forming a piece to the top half.

No clean-up!! That's the way I like it.

That is a wonderful idea! Maybe I'll pull mine out of the cupboard now! (Oh how I despise cleaning that thing -- that's why I don't use it!)

I have devised an easy way to clean my Georgey, at least to me it is easy. When I finish cooking on it I get a paper towel, fold it several times, wet it and lay it on the hot grill. Then I take the plastic turning utensil and stick it in the middle of the paper towel and go up and down all the grooves top and bottom. The wet towel produces hot steam when placed on the grill and cleans up very well with little effort.

That has worked for me, too, Kristy. But the thing is, it just drives me CRAZY cleaning each of those individual grooves. (Yes, I'm lazy!!)

I like my GF grill too, but I think it would be cool if they came up with something like Crockpot where the outside is the heating element, and the cooking part is just an insert that you can remove and put in the dishwasher. I only have the mini grill so maybe my expectations are too high. Do the larger GF grills also have to be washed by hand?

Melfie the Hamilton Beach grill has removable grids for easy cleaning AND they are dishwasher safe. I haven't had any problems with mine.

LOL, Eliz87! I know what you mean, up until last month I had a Thermadore cooktop with a built in grill and I hated hated hated to clean it up. It made the best grilled steaks, chops and burgers but was a royal pain in the tee ninny to clean up. I had to clean the grate and remove the pan in the bottom and clean out all the drippings. So my Georgey is a breeze after dealing with that monster!LOL

Melfie, that is a GREAT idea. I would even toss the one I have a get a new one!

ps I have the larger one and yes it has to be washed by hand.

Serate, I clicked on the Hamilton Beach products link you gave and searched on "grill" there. There were a number of grills, but from descriptions I'm quite certain that none had removable grids. What is name, number, etc. of the model you have?

Meal Maker Express Contact Grill 25325.

Model 25285 is smaller and also has removable dishwasher safe grids.

Couldn't tell you how much it cost because it was a gift. I've never put the grids in the dishwasher but my aunt does all the time.

I have the Suzanne Somers grill. (Same as the HB grill) and I LOVE it! I wouldn't use any other because of the ease of putting the grids right in the dishwasher! I probably wouldn't eat by myself if I didn't have it (my husband cooks)...LOL

George Foreman now has a grill with removable grids, the George Foreman GRP99 Next Generation Grill with Removable Plates, Silver Metallic Finish. It is listed at Amazon.com for around $75, might be on sale elsewhere for the holidays.
