minus-squareTryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 days agoNO. You need that grill to dry out inside first. Leave the lid off for an hour or two, let it cool off and dry off, then put the cover on.

minus-squareTryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 days agoWell the cook or someone the cook instructs. Do you follow a “you cook I clean” protocol?
minus-square[deleted]@piefed.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·6 days agoIt doesn’t have anything to do with who is doing the cleaning, it has to cool down before you clean it.
minus-squareTryingSomethingNew@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 days agoIt has to cool down some, sure, but don’t let it get cold, then it’ll just get caked on.
minus-squareCompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·6 days agoIf your grill is wet while you’re cooking, it’s not a grill. Of course it has to cool down, the lid is going to be 200° if not more and the plastic cover melts well below that.
