We put most parts into the dishwasher. Only the heater element needs hand cleaning

I don't really know. I didn't keep mine because I was so disappointed with its performance. I doubt if you could put it in a self-cleaning oven because of the plastic handles.

After many uses and multiple cleanings, the enamel cleans off easily with soap and a gentle scrub.

it can get pretty dirty after cleaning a greasy pan. I think a dishwasher is essential.

The only way the non stick coating will come off is if its scratched off, using metal knives or forks, over wooden spoon, etc, and cleaning with a steel wool pad. I have had mine for over a year now, cooked many pot roasts, even used a metal knive a few times, oops, but still have all of my coating in tact, its even been run through the dishwasher. Nothing lives forever but this is a great product plus it has an actual temperature setting and not that preset digital stuff you get with others.

The idea behind having enamel on the pan is to remove the need to season it. You can wash it as little or as much as you like, put it in the dishwasher, whatever. I've used this pan almost every day since the day I've bought it, and it shows no wear.

No not at all,, because u clean it with warm wet towel softly....clean at least 7 times until oil is gone..but don't do over...u will find out once u do it...hope it helps u..

I always lightly oil the skillet after each use. I actually put vegetable oil in a spray bottle and give it a squirt or two and then take a paper towel and wipe it on the inside of the pan. It builds up more of non-stick coating so your food doesn't stick. As for the seasoning the outside.... When I first got the skillet, I did oil the whole entire skillet (inside and outside) and then put it in the oven upside down in the oven to season it.... However, I don't oil the outside after every use.

Yes it can be used in ovens because it's not abrasive but works great on grease.

Collette, wash it out and dry it well................fill it almost to the top and bake it in the oven at 325 for a hour or so. let it cool and throw the oil away. Wipe it dry and it should be good to go.

I had a bit of oil on mine and I just burned it off. I think it is there to stop it from rusting while in storage. Hope you like it, I love mine.

We always use olive oil in our cookware. Even though it is a non stick surface we feel that using oil will preserve its life. We really like this cookware.

The element is in the oil and provides a cool zone underneath. Breading in the oil does not burn to the bottom and can be rinsed out after cooling.

i reuse the oil for some things like french fries. anything fishy i dispose of the oil after one use. with french fries, i reuse oil several times - as much as 4. the fryer does not overheat the oil so it does not break down. also, i remove any small pieces of fries so it doesnt sit in the oil between uses. i really like this fryer but it does have one drawback - you cannot lift the basket and set it on the rim to drain - you have to hold it for a few minutes or put the food immediately on paper towels. i like to "air drain" personally but this may not matter to everyone. overall, i really like the fryer and use it often. i reuse the oil for some things like french fries. anything fishy i dispose of the oil after one use. with french fries, i reuse oil several times - as much as 4. the fryer does not overheat the oil so it does not break down. also, i remove any small pieces of fries so it doesnt sit in the oil between uses. i really like this fryer but it does have one drawback - you cannot lift the basket and set it on the rim to drain - you have to hold it for a few minutes or put the food immediately on paper towels. i like to "air drain" personally but this may not matter to everyone. overall,... » Read More i reuse the oil for some things like french fries. anything fishy i dispose of the oil after one use. with french fries, i reuse oil several times - as much as 4. the fryer does not overheat the oil so it does not break down. also, i remove any small pieces of fries so it doesnt sit in the oil between uses. i really like this fryer but it does have one drawback - you cannot lift the basket and set it on the rim to drain - you have to hold it for a few minutes or put the food immediately on paper towels. i like to "air drain" personally but this may not matter to everyone. overall, i really like the fryer and use it often. « Show Less

This is a good pan, it worked well for over 4 years for me. In the beginning, i have not used any oil at all. We should not spread crepes to the edges of the pan. If any oil is accumulated at the edges, if we clean it right away with a paper towel or kitchen towel, it works for even more number of years. The pan has very thin bottom, so we must use only medium to low heat.

I wouldn't think so. This product is for cleaning the exterior of stainless appliances. Since it is oil based, it might be a fire hazard if used inside an oven.

Taking the oil out is a rather pain in the neck. I have found that if I leave it in the pan covered, it stays just fine. I've cooked in mine weeks after letting it sit in the cooker. It stays just fine and tastes great. I would however recommend using peanut oil. Again, don't use the same oil to cook potatoes that you would use to cook breaded foods. I cook coated chicken, fish and shrimp in the same oil,but will change it for potatoes.

No reason to. Just clean them after grilling so that the residual baked on grease doesn't transfer. Just let it burn off and scrape clean.

you have to season pans first heat a little then pour a little oil in pan wipe off with paper towel should do this every so often to keep pans from sticking around every 10 use or so
