    First, when cleaning, you need to collect the fat, and this can be done with toilet paper. Toilet paper is simply the most convenient because it absorbs fat and is always at hand. After that, use a simple rag, but before that, you need to soap it with soap. This is the easiest and fastest way.

    To wash a grill with a non-stick coating, you should be very careful. It is better to wash them with special sprays, which after application are easily washed off with a sponge. If you started using a new grill, you should fry it well, adding vegetable oil. Then the products will not stick to it, and the grill is easy to wash. Modern grills are so well thought out that they are also easy to wash with a soft sponge.

    The method of washing an electric grill depends largely on the material it is made of. If the plates are cast iron, then they can be washed in any way, and even cleaned with a scraper, it will not hurt. But if the plates have a non-stick coating, then everything is more complicated. They can only be washed with a soft sponge, otherwise the coating may be damaged. If you have a grill with a non-stick coating and something has burnt or dried to it, then it is still better to soak it for a couple of hours in water with soap, and then wash it with a soft sponge.
