Cleaning the Zojirushi EA-DCC10 Gourmet Sizzler Electric Griddle isn't much of a chore, according to our research. Its design focuses on making cleanup pretty straightforward.
The griddle's cooking surface is removable and features a non-stick coating, which means food doesn't cling to it much. This makes wiping it down pretty simple; often, a damp cloth will do the trick.
Another plus is that the base and body guard are removable too, so you can get in there and clean thoroughly without having to work around any awkward, non-removable parts. The manufacturer highlights these features as a way to make regular maintenance less of a hassle.
A cool little tip: let the griddle cool down a bit before you start cleaning. It not only keeps things safer for you but makes it easier to wipe away oils and leftover bits without a lot of scrubbing.
If something is more stubborn, a bit of soap and a gentle sponge should handle it fine, though it's best to avoid harsh cleaners since they might harm the non-stick surface.
Keep in mind, you'll need to wash it by hand because it's not dishwasher safe. But, from what we've found, this isn't really a big deal for most folks since cleaning it manually is still pretty easy.
All in all, the design of the Zojirushi EA-DCC10 puts a big emphasis on user-friendly maintenance, leaving you more time to enjoy whatever delicious meal you've cooked up.
