Yes and no depending on what you want to cook. Yes : For anything that won't retain too much water e.g. Potato or when you evaporate all water e.g. rice dishes No : Veggies, fish etc. These could get soggy (disintegrate) and you will have to strain things out at the end. Buying a separator (&lt;$10 in any Indian store) or steamer basket is a good investment. Remember to remove the 'whistle' and steam for desired amount of time if you plan on using this as a 'steamer' and not a pressure 'cooker'. The quality of the steel (as others have already mentioned) is stellar. Cleaning it is extremely easy, unless you burnt something in it of course :)

Yes absolutely. You can cook directly in it and it cleans super easily inside a dishwasher and doesn't rust. The quality of steel is very good. Not flimsy at all. If you heat it well before starting to cook for example, after adding oil , let it get heated up well ( oil starts getting hotter ) then the food doesn't get stuck while cooking. It's like cooking in a non-stick utensil. If food gets stuck anyway, add water and heat it after removing food etc. The boiling water cleans the stuck residue and comes off easily with a sponge.

Cleaning is not difficult. I always hand wash it however, I have not tried to use the dishwasher. It cleans easily. I actually have two pans - one at my primary home and one at a second home. I made the mistake of leaving one of them on the cooktop with the burner left on after cooking french toast. It damaged the pan in a way that browned the cook surface. I cannot get it cleaned back to the original look, but I see that as a problem I caused - not the manufacturer. The burned pan still works perfectly fine - it just doesn't look as nice as a new pan.

It is very easy to clean if you never get it wet. It is meant to dry grind grain and afterwards I just blow the dust off of mine for use the next time. The cracked corn for the chickens doesn't matter and the grain I grind for meal gets cooked. After use I store it in a plastic bag so it doesn't get dusty and use a dry paint brush to brush off any other debri

I am very happy with this grill. It cleans up beautifully even after grilling meat that has a sticky marinade. I would soak the grill in soapy water if there is coaked on residue but I have never had a problem getting it clean. I only use a plastic scrubber to avoid scratching the surface. I have another grill pan by Le Creuset that I spent 4x the amount for and it is impossible to get clean after soaking. This grill is a much better option in my opinion.

Yes, it's easy to clean. I just use mine for boiling water for my tea. I hand wash it in the sink when I need to.

It is very easy. As it has a non-sticking surface, it can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth.

It has a nonstick finish on the interior and clean up is a breeze! It doesn't go in the dishwasher but it's so easy to clean it really doesn't matter! We use ours all the time, it's several months old and still looks brand new!

Yes. It is very easy to clean, being non-stick. Mine is several years old now and I use it all the time, so the non-stick isn't nearly as good as it once was, but it is still very easy to clean. Hope this helps!

It's very easy to clean. Just use light soap and water and it's comes right off after your use.

It's actually very easy! I just turn the heat up to 350 degrees and either use a wooden spatula or some paper towels to clean all the grease. The little wire grill that comes with it is probably the hardest thing to clean but not very hard to do.

It's very easy to clean. I clean it with soap and water. The clear top part seems to get dirty easy. It's no problem to clean, and I just let it air dry.

I don't use it every day tho and I don't cook on really high heat ...also clean it right away and don't leave water sitting in it to soak--hasn't needed soaking cuz it's easy to wipe out.

Very easy! I soak it in a bin with detergent, rub it together, and it's clean. Much easier than cleaning an aluminum sheet or George Foreman grill.

Hi, sorry to take so long getting back. It is a stainless steel bowl. It does clean easy. I used a little barkeeper's friend and a nylon scrubby to clean it. It does cook extremely well but it was difficult to figure out the instructions because they were written by someone that doesn't speak English as a 1st language so it was difficult for them to translate what they were meaning to say. So basically I had to play with the settings to get it to do what I needed it to do. To test it out, I did a Swiss steak, using round steak. I didn't pound the steak, just floured and browned it stovetop then put it in the cooker. I ran it on meat/cjicken cycle twice to get it done and it turned out fork tender. The cooker is great and you'll love it but be prepared to have to play with settings like I did, unless you can understand Japanese. Good luck with it.
