How to Clean the Baking Pan of the Electric Panini Grill?

The cleaning process of the electric panini grill is strongly related to its heat conduction structure and surface treatment technology. The core feature of this type of cooking equipment is the thermal inertia control mechanism of the double-sided heating plate, and its aluminum alloy substrate surface is usually covered with a multi-layer composite coating to achieve a non-stick effect. The cleaning process must take into account both coating protection and the thorough removal of food residue carbides. Before operation, it is necessary to wait for the temperature of the electric panini grill baking pan to drop below the material phase transition point to avoid the expansion of micro cracks caused by sudden cooling.

The removal of organic residues remaining in the electric panini grill depends on the principle of surface free energy regulation. The polar molecules of neutral detergents can weaken the van der Waals force between carbides and coatings. The hardness of the cleaning tool must be lower than the Mohs scale value of the coating, and the scrubbing direction of the microfiber material should be parallel to the metal lattice texture. For grease that penetrates into the microporous structure, the weak alkalinity of the baking soda solution can be used to achieve saponification reaction decomposition.

The oil guide groove on the edge of the electric panini grill needs to be cleaned with an L-shaped soft scraper along the fluid dynamic path to avoid mechanical stress concentration. To remove food debris from the hinge, the mechanical locking device must be released, and compressed air must be used to blow with the capillary penetration of low surface tension solvents. After cleaning, the coating oxidation caused by infrared heating must be avoided during the drying stage, and natural convection drying is more conducive to maintaining interface stability.

To clean the base of the electric panini grill, the power supply module must be disconnected, and the aerosol deposits in the heat dissipation grille must be treated using a dry dust removal method.
