If you’re like most people, your panini grill is probably one of your favorite kitchen appliances. But like any other appliance, it can get dirty over time. Here’s how to clean it:

  1. Remove all the food from the grill and wipe down the surface with a damp cloth.
  2. Pour a small amount of cooking oil into a bowl or onto a paper towel and use it to clean the grates.
  3. Pour a pot of hot water onto the grill and let it sit for about 30 seconds so that the water can heat up.
  4. Scrub the grill with a stiff brush and a pot of hot water, then dry it off with a paper towel.
  5. Apply cooking oil to the grates and let them sit for about 5 minutes so that they’re coated evenly. ..
