A dishwasher-safe burger press may be cleaned by simply washing it and placing it in the dishwasher. Models that are not dishwasher-friendly, such as cutlery or pans, can be washed by simply soaping up a washcloth and carefully removing the grease. The best thing is that if you use parchment paper, burger presses can be the least messy instrument, leaving little to no residue. They are quite simple to clean and maintain.
