Can you cook directly on it without worrying about paint on your food?

Absolutely! We have had ours for something like a year now and have cooked on it numerous times. We've not had any problems with paint chips, or rust or anything like that. It really us a great investment.

I have had the grill for over a year and sometimes I cook directly on the grill and sometimes I cook on aluminum foil - and both methods are great. I have not noticed any issues with paint getting on food. The only times paint has come off is when I've cleaned the grill. It really is a great product, we love it!

I cooked directly on this grill. I don't know if it was the high heat or the act of burgers sitting on the metal, but the paint did come off - mostly where I cooked. I didn't notice it at the time. It wasn't until later when I cleaned the grill at home that I saw it. I have a fire ring out back. I think I'll build a good charcoal fire in it and let the grill bake a bit before I head out on my next trip. I love this grill, but yes, the paint can come off.

I am not willing to scour the pan with anything that would scratch it to find out. I don't want to risk ruining the pan.

No. It would outgas and could contaminate food. Though, anything that doesn't heat up is okay.

No, you cannot. The food sticks so when you flip it, the seared side is ripped off. Even with butter or olive oil.

No. The ceramic coating won't absorb anything that you might try and season it with. The ceramic coating is truly nonstick with no oils required

Very. I find I have to cook low and slow. Without a not stick coating it heats up so quickly food will burn. So low and slow is the way to go.

No. Don't do it, you'll peel up the enameling. If, you mean putting food on the diffuser. It'll ruin the finish.

I've had mine for a year and the paint has stayed pretty well in-tact. It's an awesome grill, perfect to cook over a fire with. We usually cook on aluminum foil to keep the grill a little cleaner.

You certainly can, but this is a heavy piece of cookware so you probably don't want to slam it down, and you should lift it to move it rather than slide it around to avoid scratching your cooking surface.

Yes, i prefer it ,its natural it doesnt take a lot if cleaning just scrape ,wipe and go if u clean it right away ,food is cooked faster and more evenly cooked ,plus i personally dont know how safe the glaze on it is when its cooked or baked ....probably safer than most including plastic...but why take a chance ...it could also be for those who dont think the unglazed is safe because u cant put in dishwasher with out ruining the seasoned pan just like an iron skillett...it s just better all the way around and i have used them for over 6 tears and no one has ever gotten sick from it

You should be able to paint the stove but not the grill or grate but I just oiled mine

Just be careful not to scratch the non-stick coating. It's when scratched that it causes problems. The cooker includes a plastic spatula, but I'm even gentle using that. I wash by hand.

you can cook on the base, BUT the protective liner will wear out faster. Look on Amazon for pans, they are cheap and will extend the life of you cooker. If you choose to cook with out the pan, DO NOT use an abrasive pad to clean it. Soak a rag or paper towel in hot water and lay it in the pan to loosen any cooked on matter, then wipe it clean.

Don't use a paint - it might peel off in your food. Just polish them or re-electroplate them with a hobby plating kit.

Yes. But, I would soap the bottom of the cook ware, using a bar of soap, to prevent any scorching. I like to keep my cook ware in tip top shape to last a long time.

Not unless you add red food coloring. Seriously, this is an excellent product. Not only does the red surface stay put, I've found it to be much more durable than Teflon and other non-stick surfaces.

The dish is a high-fired, glossy white. I believe you could paint on it, but you would need to apply a sealer coat in order to wash the dish.
