How easy is it to clean? Does food get struck in between the cooktop and stainless steel trim?

It's very easy to clean. Just make sure you use the proper cleaner that's called out in the manual or you could scratch it. We love our stove top.

It's easy to clean. I just run it to empty, then add some boiling water and run that thru. It's done.

I can't say it is the easiest thing in the world to clean, but not too bad. What I do is take a spoon to scrape the inside where the fuel is which only takes a few seconds.As for the grill, I take a regular kitchen knife (not a sharp one), and I use it to scrape the top and bottom and in between the grates, which takes a minute or two.We purchased 4 of these on Amazon and we love them. FYI...we use sterno for fuel which works the best for us.Here is my recipe I have on Tasty Kitchen that uses this: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/pu-pu-platter-steak/

I have not had any issues with the care of this item. It is easy to clean. It is not super heavy, but, heavy enough. I have cooked several different things in it and not had any trouble with it cooking things too fast because it isn't heavy enough. I is deeper than the blue speckled one that I have. It fits alot of stuff.

Extremely easy. Scrape it, wire brush & empty trey. I line the drip trey with foil. It is much easer to use and clean than my humongous Stainless grill that cost $1000. & I no longer use. Want to purchase a nice big stainless grill?? cheap?? Seriously it is a great grill. We love it. It heats up real fast, also.

The exterior is stainless steel so it's an easy clean-up. I always take it off my stove if I'm going to cook anything that might spatter but if it gets greasy, just spray on some Windex or other kitchen cleaner(Lysol spray on) on the exterior and then dry with a clean paper towel or dish towel. Mine always shines and looks brand new and I've had it for at least a couple of years. A clean dish cloth with a tiny amount of Dawn dishwashing liquid is also a wonderful idea to remove the grease.

Not particularly hard to clean! I use a fibercloth with some stainless steel liquid cleaner. I really like the sensor reheat function which automatically reheats without additional input.

yes it is very easy to clean, but follow instructions to run the pan empty the first time so it will not peel, hope that helps

I found it pretty easy to clean. If I grated cheese I just let the parts soak in soapy dishwater for a bit. Then I spray it with water from the hose from the sink. Haven't had any problems.

Yes, just don't drag it across the top. You have to lift it to move it so it doesn't scratch the cooktop.

It is very easy to clean and yes food does sometimes end up in the middle. I use Lysol wipes or the equivalent to clean off the surfaces including the net food might fall into. This set has been wonderful for my grandchild who is now 3yrs and it gets used everyday for eating and playing. A two thumbs up purchase!

It doesn't get all over the food. So long as you start with a clean grill you shouldn't have to worry about cleaning while cooking

Yes, the top is quite easily cleaned. I use dish liquid and a sponge, it seems to have a non stick surface.

I have the Nuwave Precision Cooktop and I enjoy it very much. When I prepare meals that is what I use. There is no heat as from electric or gas ranges and small enough to leave out on a counter or store in cupboard. It is not heavy or cumbersome. Extremely easy to clean. Adjusting desired temperature is a snap also; so easy I purchased an 8 quart and 4 quart pressure cooker. I can tweak the temp just as I need. I am very happy with it. I recommend it to friends and family.

It's fairly easy to clean; the metal tray with holes the garlic is press through swings out and it's easy to scrape the garlic off into a garbage can or sink. Still, I have to remember to do this right after pressing, otherwise the garlic can get a bit harder to peel off once it's a bit drier. Other than scraping off the garlic I just dishwash it. Had it for a year and so far it looks and works like new still.

I found it very easy to clean. You may have to stick your finger in it to clear some of the garlic residue but it's not a big deal at all.

My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times. Using a mild vinegar soak for 10-15 min., seems to release the residue (it's still much easier to clean, than the stainless steel sets). My problem: When simmering/boiling with the glass covers on, fluid becomes trapped between the rubber gasket and metal rim. Over time, I'm noticing buildup and/or a bit of rusting(?) where the lid glass meets the metal, which is near impossible to clean ( I would've preferred a totally metal lid, to this design). Otherwise, I'm a fan of the ceramic coating, on the pans. My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times.
