How to clean a non-submersible griddle
Because instructions prohibit running water or submerging the unit, cleaning a dual-sided griddle requires using a wet soapy rag to break down cooked-on gunk followed by a rinsed rag to wipe the surfaces clean. This restriction makes routine cleanup extremely tedious and difficult, stopping people from easily maintaining the equipment.
