[handinpants]

Anyone have a foreman grill, that smells really bad, or makes you house smell? i am pretty sure its where the smell is coming from, i just want to know if anyone else has encountered it, i dunno if the grease can get stuck inside or how to clean it.... other than wipe off the grill plate...

[fliprayzin240sx]

Umm...thought you can take the plates off and wash em? Cant remember just cuz I havent fucked around with mine cuz they fucking SUCKED!!!

[HyperTek]

you cant take the plates off.. wow i havent used mine in years.. they are great tho..

[SexPanda]

Its a lean mean fat reducin' grilling machine!

I use mine to cook breakfast every now and again. No smell tho. Sorry.

[ThatGuy]

No smell here, though I haven't had mine long.

[bigOdom1]

had mine for over six years, it definately doesn't smell. i put mine in the sink and wash it after each use. i dont buy that wipe it with a papertowel crap they show on the infomercial.

[r6_240sx]

No smell here either, use mine a lot too.

Have you checked your upper lip? LOL jk...

[flip3d]

I had the XL. Which is awesome btw. How the eff did you manage to get grease inside it? It's supposed to slide down into the convenient grease tray.


edit: post 999. gonna save 1000 for something special :P

Some models, you can't take the plate off. If it's in the sink, make sure you aren't submerging it--bad for the element; The old ones, the grease drips and some of it gets left behind on the bottom of the grill. Try cleaning around that area with a brush or something.

my roommate has the one u can take the plate off
no smell

my friend has one where the plate is fixed, looks way harder to clean
duno about the smell

[r6_240sx]

I have the fixed one too, is a PITA to clean, all you can use is that scraper thing they give you so you don't mess up the coating.

I used a GFG grill while I was living in the barracks.

They're definitely not as good as a pan, but they get the job done.

To clean, I usually just let mine cool off and then wiped it down with a paper towel or soapy cloth.

Never had any problems with smell.

Sounds like you got some fat/grease inside the grill. I have no clue what to do for that. As far as cleaning the heating surfaces/plate, just let the grill get nice and hot and use a wet rag to wipe it down. I've had 3 variations of the Foreman, never had the smell problem unless I didnt clean it well for several times.

[handinpants]

It didn't get cleaned well a couple times, unless my girlfriend cleans it, after she uses it, I am going to open it up with some tools see what's inside

[dmragecm]

clean it every time you throw a new batch on and open the windows

[aoiken3]

i clean mine right after every use. no smell

[ryguy]

I have an older fixed plate one, and no smell here.

[damiansyadathi]

DONT cook fish in it or that will cause it to smell very bad
