    mike allen,
    not needed, but if she insists then do a high temp burn off - but in the future - any time you will have possible yucky dripping then a simple wrap of foil solves the clean up issue. I have seen setters that turn your stomach and there is no need for that yuck!

    RRP,
    Sorry for the stupid post.Some times you have a pan or foil to catch that mess.A lot of cooks say indirect,or indirect on a rised grid,But if you have a fat run off it will get to the plate setter and make a mess.In most cases it will burn off.As RRP said a high temp gets things back in order.

    mike allen,like RRP said a burn off works well. I purchased a wide blade putty knife that I use to scrap them off. At contest when we go from one to another meat I scrape off the residue and wipe them off with a paper towel. We have a pizza stone we us on top or the plate setter when we are cooking on it because ours look so blackened. [p]Good Eggin'

    mike allen,[p]I try to remember to foil it, but in case I forget, I just try to scrape it off with the side of a spatula while the gunk is still warm.[p]I don't like to have that mess on there. I keep my platesetter outside or in my grill. I'm afraid that gunk will attract bugs.

    mike allen, give her a paper towel and wish her luck, Then drop on the couch and watch sports center. If she is still around after an hour and not complaining, marry her tomorrow, LOL![p]Other than that, just burn it off while heating up the egg on the next cook. Also, next time use a pan wrapped in foil to catch the dripping. 1 or 2 inch deep pizza pans make great drip pans! T
