And again.......I want to thank everyone for your help and um....input! LOL!

I got the grill warm again.....wet some paper towels.....unplugged it...set the towels inside...and let it steam. After which I put it on the ledge of the sink and with more wet towels and some soap...I cleaned all the gunk off. Then, I got more towels and rinsed it and a few more towels and dried it.....and voila! Clean as a whistle (whatever that means)!

I'm gonna go invest in some stock in Bounty or Scott paper towels now! LMFAO!
