Such a pan should never allowed to get hot enough to burn the oil being used. Use tools which won t scratch the cooking surface, and cleanup will be no problem. Remember to wipe any outside drips away before they harden. The rapid grill, which has been over-sold on TV, is really very versatile. Frozen fish can be cooked right from the freezer, vegetables can be grilled with a touch of cooking spray if desired, and grilled sandwiches, with or without cheese are exquisite.
Some breads work better if toasted lightly in the toaster oven before grilling.
A brief resting time with the grill turned off and cooling helps finish some foods, like hash browns. The basic grille rapide has no switch however. Use the one on the plugging strip. It s not a handle. Microwave cooking assisted by various small appliances is also faster, and generally requires less fat.
