How easy is the grill basket to clean? I've never used mine but had a guest ask tonight. I told her that it would probably help to spray it with veggie oil first and to use the kitchen brush to help clean it but couldn't give her a good answer. Anyone tried anything on it yet?
 
Shouldn't be too hard with the kitchen brush and warm water. I have a grill basket with more surface area than the PC one, so I'm just guessing that it shouldn't be that big of a deal to get it all sparkly and lemony fresh! :)
 
Its dishwasher safe!!! Now that is easy to me!!:) :)
