Should you use water in the drip pan while you cook.

You can but honestly I never have had to. Everything has come out moist and perfect. The cooking times in the booklet that comes with it are right on the mark

Yes you definitely should. Just to the water line.it creates steam for a juicier cook and makes an easy clean up. From burnt drippings.

I always do have some water in the pan as it helps keep the smoke down and is always easier to clean when all is done.

You can but you don't have to. I usually use beer in mine. It's a better tenderizer.

yeah you will be ok it does have a drip pan and everything evaporates no prob...had mine for a few months now and it works great... mine is enclosed also... but its always a good idea to provide some type of ventilation...

Yes. The element lifts up and the drip pan can be removed and cleaned. The unit is mostly commercial grade stainless steel and very easy to keep clean.

I never looked at those instructions. I use water that i have boiled to make tea or coffee right out of the drip pot. Sometimes there is a tiny bit of unmixed milk at the bottom of the cup when I finish, but nothing to worry about. I think you can just skip that step.

Yes And No. There is a hole where drippings can go into an external tray. However I put an aluminum foil pan there to keep it a little cleaner.

Yup, but don't forget you are filling something up or you might get a bit of a wet kitchen ;)

The slots are so the steam rises to cook both levels. So drops might fall from top to the bottom dish but even with shrimp or hot dogs, the drips would just be water.

No. The pan below the heating element is to catch the drippings so that they will smoke and give the meat the good flavor that Meco's do so well.

I would suggest elevating the steamer in the pan then pour water up to half way of steamer. This is to prevent direct contact with the base of the pan so it will not burned. I use a veggie steamer rack that will fit in the pan. You want to make sure the lid for the pan is tightly sealed so water does not evaporate rapidly.

There is a small removable drip pan on the underneath side of the grill. It is almost useless due to its small size.

Tap water should actually be used instead of distilled water, its just better for the iron overall. One way to prevent dripping is to make sure you dont fill above the max line. If problems continue, please contact Sunbeam direct for more troubleshooting and assistance.

I typically just run mildly warm water in the pan right after I finish cooking with it; depending on what I am cooking, I do spray a light amount of cooking spray on the pan (boneless/skinless chicken breasts or fish tend to stick if I don't spray, beef or pork tend to have more natural fats, so the pan doesn't really need spraying).

I cook on a gas stove so once in awhile I get a little soot on the outside bottom of pan; use soapy water and/or SOS if necessary. I figure a little discoloration just gives my pots "character" and indicate that some good cookin' has been happening!

I think the people at Lodge ought to start using cast iron cookware, instead of making stuff up. I wouldn't Pam it or oil it once it's seasoned. That is the point of being seasoned. Besides, oil sitting in a pan? Yuck. Nasty. Just use olive oil or something when you go to cook. It's not rocket science. And if you hate my soap and water idea, just clean it with hot water. But dry it on the fire before putting away. It needs to be DRY not oiled.

Your not supposed to use boiling water. The water should be slightly warm. I've never had issues with it being too hot.

You can use as little as you want you just need to make sure that the water pan never boils away all the water.

I would think you would get a mess. I have only used the mixture in a pan on the stove. After I add the water and the powdered egg it is liquid, however after cooking it is very tasty!!
