Do you have to use all three trays or does it work with just one on there?I would like less parts to clean.

You can use just one, or two or all three. Alternatively, if you have tall or large items (lobster, corn on the cob, etc) it's possible to use the rings with out the tray in the top two levels to allow clearance for height.

When we used it the first time, my wife only used two of the three pans to see how it worked. You have to use the bottom section no matter how many levels you use at one time. Keep in mind, unless you are using other liquids the water vapor would only require wiping from the upper most levels.So, Yes you can cook with 1, 2 or 3 units at a time.

I tried using 1 & it worked perfectly.Also it depends on how big (ex-crab legs) your item is,u can remove some trays to fit what you're steaming.

you can use as many trays as you want.i imagine you could use more than what the set contains.just keep in mind the size and the cooking time w/different food items.i am not sure if there would be a cross contamination of flavors if a strong tasting item is cooked in tray over/on top of,say a rice.

Yes it works as long as you fill the tray to the back. I am not using mine anymore though. I found it more time consuming than I had planned on.

Yes it does need a removal soap tray. I am using the one from my old system so cannot recommend one.

Yes, this is the purpose of the reusable tray and I believe it is a third party who makes this product - not Scoop Free. I found it to be far less effective in terms of odor and overall maintenance. I purchased it and used it only twice. Now I am back to using the disposable trays and I don't recommend the reusable tray but others may have a different experience with it.

Sheila...The crumb tray really works. I put aluminum foil on it to cover. Makes it easier for cleaning

I do use it with the sifting shield in between the two pans. If nothing sticks I do a quick rinse and refill. Once a month clean it with soap and water. I haven't had issues with keeping it clean. Takes me just a few minutes to do everything.

It only comes with one standard. I believe you can get a second tray (separately) to do what you want. There is a display on the top which indicates that there may be a second tray available when installed.

JNO,The trays are held on with 2 thumb screws on the back side. These can be loosened up to allow you to get underneath the tray.Than you!

The one I purchased only has one tray. The tray is expandable for different sizes but only one tray.

The tray comes with a removable insert, for cleaning purposes. The actual tray isn't removable.

Hello Ruth, The tray is removable and possible can be used without the tray. The tray is made of plastic and holes can be drilled into if you like. Hope this helps. Elva

No, each tray is a part of the unit. You can use less trays and it reduces the total height, but there are no tray "inserts" so you can't dry items larger than the tray height. The very top tray is a bit larger than the rest and where I put the largest items (still not a great deal more, but useful.)

The base unit is all one piece - no separate tray. I clean mine off in the bathtub and rinse water through the holes into the bottom of the tray and let it run out the drain after I empty it into the toilet. I wash the pad in my washer, no dryer. It has worked very well.

I don't believe there is a removable tray. Should be easy to clean however (in my opinion!)

You have to clean each part, is not hard for me to clean but it will take some time cause is not like cleaning one plate, you will be cleaning like 7 different parts.

Well, there's a slit on one end, but the tray isn't slanted. So you would still have to manually lift it to dump the water out. Convenient nonetheless. I have a small double sink and put mine directly in one side so there's no need for the tray. Hope that makes sense!
