I've just let mine soak in hot water with a little Ivory, and then it just wipes out. Hopefully yours will be as easy!

I had the same problem, i bought the white handled scrub brush and it works wonders and also cleans the grill press wonderfully too.

What Freedom said - I use the kitchen brush as well - I also have been using the scrubby thing from May - LOVE IT for the grill pan - I use Dawn Detergent as well.

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about your cleaning disaster with your grill pan. I completely understand how frustrating it can be to have stuck-on food and residue on your pan's ridges. I've had a few mishaps myself with my grill pan, but I've found a few tips that have helped me in situations like this.First, I recommend soaking your pan in hot, soapy water for at least 30 minutes. This will help to loosen up the stuck-on food and make it easier to scrub off.Next, I like to use a non-abrasive scrubbing pad or brush to gently scrub the ridges of the pan. Be sure to use a gentle touch and avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as this can damage the non-stick surface of the pan.If the stuck-on food is still giving you a hard time, you can try using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the ridges of the pan and let it sit for about 15 minutes before scrubbing it off. This can help to break down the residue and make it easier to remove.After cleaning, be sure to thoroughly dry your pan before storing it. This will prevent any rusting or damage to the pan.I hope these tips help you to get your grill pan back in top shape! Remember, it's always best to clean your pan as soon as possible after use to prevent food from hardening and becoming difficult to remove. Happy grilling!
