Are the plates removable for washing? That's a feature I like in my small Geo. Foreman grill.

no and that is the annoying part. you have to kind of suspend the thing over the sink to wash out the donut areas. It does wipe out easily though, if that helps

No, but it is nonstick. I just take a dish cloth and as soon as it's cooled enough, just wipe it out.

No, the grill plates are not removable, which can make it very difficult to clean.

The grills are not removable but all that is really required for cleaning is to wipe down with a paper towel or use something like the OXO panini brush on it. With cast iron it's best to clean it after it cools down which can take a while. Think of this cool down time like boiling water for 20 minutes to make it safe to drink anything inside of the grill has been killed off. The wipe down removes anything that could cause a problem while it is cool and the next time you pre-heat it you have made it 100% food safe or at least as safe as a pan cleaned with soap and water would be.

No because they fold into the grill for storage and fold out for grilling. Not sure if you can remove them because I haven't tried. They are so easy to flip out and back in.

It says it is on the bottom of each dish. I don't have a washer, so I wouldn't know if it hurts them in any way. But I do microwave them all the time with no trouble. Except the fact the large plates are so big and square they won't rotate in my tiny microwave.

No, the griddles are not removable but they are easy to clean. They just wipe right off.

Yes. Otherwise you would not be able to take them out to clean them. I remove the grates to clean them each time I use the grill. Also, I take out the burner covers to clean them and the drip pan guard.

Yes they are removable. The plates are reversible so on one side it is waffle textured and smooth on the other. The waffle plates are for traditional waffles (think eggos) and not the thick Belgium waffle

My daughter just informed me that the grills are not removable but the unit is very easy to clean. Must seasoned with oil before first use. Loves the waffle iron and the ease of storage.

I haven't tried them in the dishwasher. I usually power wash them once or twice a year. Each time I grille I turn the grill on high for five or ten minutes and burn off residue from the last use and use a wire brush to remove the stuff that gets burned on.

no it is not removable. If you want to wash it, you have to use a washcloth and scrub it.

I bought this item for my daughter, so I don't use it, but she uses it a lot. To the best of my knowledge, the plate is not removable, but will wipe clean when it cools down. Hope this helps.

No. Also, they are easy to wash. I give them a quick rinse and put them in the dishwaher.

Do you remove the plates from the grill to wash and raise them off before you use them? If so, then I don't know why you would be getting a smell. Please make sure that you also clean up any residue where the plates are kept.
