do you use foil or anything else inside the cookwell to make it easier to clean?

It cleaned up really well for me. I didn't have to add aluminum foil. When it's bad I agree w/ the other person - soak it in soapy water

I spray pan with Pam and it cleans up very well. I would not use foil or anything else. Soak with hot sudsy water for a short while and pan will clean up beautifully.

No, you do not have to use foil or anything else. It cleans up really well. I have used it time and time again, and it looks great.

we have never used foil. It usually comes clean right away with soapy water. Occasionally I have filled it with hot soapy water to soak while we eat dinner and then when I am ready to do the dishes it comes clean easily.

The most I've had to do is soak it in soapy water over night, then use a sponge to clean it. Forget the foil!!

Most of the time if you have the non-stick surface it washes pretty easy. I often let it soak while we are eating our meal and by the time we are finihed it is ready to wipe clean, but I also always spray the walls with non stick vegetable spray, like Pam. This helps with clean up. I have never had to use foil.

I haven't. By inside 'the cookwell', do you mean the roaster with the liner out? The liner itself can be soaked and I can actually put that thru my dishwasher, which I do; (Not the roaster itself obviously). The cookwell is remarkably easy to clean.

The only thing I will put foil in the pan is when I cook cheesy potatoes. Everything else, it cleans up easily.

I have 2 nescos with 2 types of cookwells , 1 non stick the other the regular one , I put both of them in the dishwasher and can never remember having to scrub them clean. I have never ever used aluminum foil in the 15 or more years I have cooked in my nesco . Also I would be afraid it would tear and become part of the food I was cooking . I cook everything from roasts and gravies to jambalayas and turkey and dressing in my nescos and have never had a problem of any sort. Hope this helps!

Yes, I use it to toast things. I usually just put foil down to keep the pan clean.

Yes, there's no problem with aluminum foil. You can use any material you would use in a conventional oven. The convection feature (fan) should make it possible to use a slightly lower temperature. Unfortunately I have found the thermostat to be unreliable so you might want to use an oven thermometer to determine if that is true for yours if you buy one.

I do as Jane L. Brown does. I use parchment on both my nonstick skillet and my electric griddle. Works well and makes for easier cleaning up.

Wrap food in foil or use a small foil takeaway container. Can put food straight in it but it isn't easy to clean.

I do not, I am very careful not to put any thing hot on it, if I do I have a pot holder on the bottom. I do use the extra space while getting everything ready for cooking.

I do all the time! Use the larger burner for even heat! Apply cooking spray, Turn on high to heat pan(once you see it smoking) then reduce to med for cooking! Highly recommend a splatter screen! Does a great job ! Love this Pan... Hard to clean until its really seasoned but well worth it..

Once cool I normally Lodge plastic pan scrapers. If very dirty I occasionally use water and kosher salt. Once dry apply cooking oil to prevent rusting.

Plain aluminum (kitchen) foil works well for this purpose. This product should work a little bit better as it will (slightly) reduce conductive heat loss as well.

not too difficult if one follows instructions in owners manual.the main thing I feel is to not use any abrasive or harsh cleaners being the dome is plastic.my mother has a sharper image oven and it had a cleaning feature that swished water and mild detergent like a whirlpool inside the dome.i'm not ceretain if you can do that somehow with the nu wave oven but I know they definitely recommend mild dish detergent and it can be washed in a dishwasher safely.

I use stainless cleaner that I use on my appliances but sometimes I just wipe it with a wet sponge and then dry it with a papertowel

I don't find that a problem. I do line the pan with aluminum foil when I'm cooking with something like bbq sauce that might be especially messy and hard to remove but have not had a problem otherwise with liquids staining the pans.

I use foil to cover the top and bottom to make clean-up easier. Cleaning is the hardest part. Panini's leak depending on their ingredients. If you shredded cheese out to the edges, it will melt or caramelize and seal. Too much cheese; and the cheese will run out, too.

I use hardwood coal and regular charcoal. I always put 2 layers of aluminum foil under charcoal also. Less mess

I line the bottom with some aluminum foil then just add anything. I use it more than anything else, best investment.

I just use soap and water. Occasionally I'll use a stainless steel cleaner (Stone and Steel by 409) on the exterior, but I don't think that's necessary. I really only do it if food has accidentally splattered on it. I also empty the kettle each night and wipe the inside of the kettle and the lid dry -- and I keep the lid off overnight to let the interior of the kettle dry out.

I would get that answer from the manufacturer.If you're thinking of ease of clean up - I find it cleans easily w/some sudsy water. If you're thinking Pesach, it doesn't heat high enough to kasher - find out about the foil
