Cheap Set of 4 Rustic Cazuela Clay Pans - 6 inch/ 15 cm

Customer Ratings:

The cazuelas are perfect. We use them to cook on the stove top, and they are just like the ones I used when I lived in Spain.

These little pottery dishes are just like the Spanish ones I broke years ago and have been longing to replace. This is nice, because you can have four! Also, the fact that the glaze goes all the way around instead of just the inside is practical as it doesn't scratch surfaces the way a more rustic one might. They are great for putting out appetizers at parties or baking that extra bit of batter when your cake or pie pan won't fit it.

Review of Fagor 10-Inch Silicone Gasket

Customer Ratings:

People seem to be having a lot of trouble finding the right size for their cooker, before you order go to the Fagor website and look up your particular model, then click on teh "Replacement Parts" link in the lower right corner. It gives a detailed explanation of which one you need.

I purchased this because the one that came with mine got damaged suddetly, I'm not sure how because I haven't had it long. I inspect it before each use though and noticed a big chunk of it missing. Hopefully I'll have better luck this time around.

My Fagor pressure cooker lid measures 10 inches in diameter. I ordered this gasket, which states it is for 10" diameter lids. However, the gasket itself measures 10 3/4". It is too big for the 10" lid.

Best Deals for Fagor 10-Inch Silicone Gasket

Not all Fagor Splendid models use a 10" gasket. I bought this based on that review statement and it is entirely incorrect. My 6 Quart Splendid model uses a 9 inch gasket, not 10".

Turn you lid upside down and measure the outside diameter of the metal, not the gasket. If it's about 9 3/4", then a 10" gasket WILL NOT FIT. You need the 9" gasket instead.

Honest reviews on Fagor 10-Inch Silicone Gasket

I think the reason people are being sent the wrong size gasket is related to the problem in the description. I have a 6 quart Spendid and it takes a 10" gasket -as do all Splendid models, except for the 2 in 1. So, this gasket is not only for 8 and 10 quart single models, but for others, as well. Be sure to check the fagor USA site before you order a gasket, and be sure to get two. Example: My dog had surgery so I needed to pressure cook him some meat so it would be soft. Stupidly, I left the lid next to the cooker on the stove and burned the gasket. I did not have a spare. This is the only time in my life I ever put a lid on the grate of my stove I know better. So I had to cook the meat for like 6 hours. When this burns, it turns into white powder, by the way.

I paid $75 on sale for this pan, and given that I wanted to be able to just make eggs without added fat, I took a chance as 2 chefs recommended this pan.

What a bust after washing, and even seasoning the pan with a few drops of oil, the eggs stuck like mortar.

Round 2 tried with a healthy 1/2 TB of olive oil, and a hot pan. Stuck AGAIN!

Trying to send it back...I'd rather go less eco friendly with a cheap Target teflon pan than waste money on a pan making claims that don't come through.

Buyer, BEWARE!

I purchased three of these Berndes Pearl Ceramic coated cast aluminum open fry pans -an 8.5, 10, and 11.5 inch pan. The instructions that came with the pans say to use a small amount of oil before adding the food. A very small amount suffices as nothing adheres to the surfaces during cooking.

I routinely cook breakfast in a single pan, with the 8.5 inch pan being a favorite. A typical breakfast might be pork sausage, sauteed fresh mushrooms with scallions, two sunny side up Eggland's Best, and a cheese sauce all cooked successively in the same pan one after the other as I am on a low carb diet. Nothing sticks. Everything slides out, even the eggs and most of all the cheese sauce.

As they are made from rather substantial thickness of aluminum, they heat fast and evenly. These are neither light weight nor thin, but are substantial pans made to serve for many years of use. The 8" pan weighs 1 lb 7.2 oz clean, empty, and dry; the 10" pan weighs 1 lb 14.2 oz; and the 11.5" pan weighs 2 lbs 1.9 oz. I do use plastic spatulas or wooden spoons when cooking with them as recommended by the manufacturer.

The pans are a snap to clean, just wipe them out, soap, and rinse and you're done. Though I have put them in the dishwasher a time or two, dishwasher cleaning is not recommended.

Though I cook at home, these would be ideal for someone cooking in say a college dorm owing to their easy clean, nonstick and rugged construction. Ramen noodle omelets anyone?

I have heated canned chili in these pans with the same good results. No stains, no sticking, no red color left behind. I have been using these pans daily for two months, and they look like they just came out of the packing material as when I received them.

The pans are claimed to be oven proof up to 450°F, but I have not used them as yet in an oven.

My only complaint is that I do not have lids for them. Normally, when I cook my sunny side up eggs, I just put the eggs in the pan and turn the heat to low, cover the pan to hold in the steam, and set a timer for 4 minutes. This results in two perfectly cooked eggs with runny yolks but filmed over slightly and with tender not lacy or browned whites just as I like them. No turning the eggs is required for cooking the tops as the trapped steam cooks the tops of the eggs.

I have improvised lids from a variety of things, but find that an old aluminum pie pan works well for the 8.5" pan. I have checked the Berndes website but did not see lids offered specifically for these pans. I do plan to take a couple of them with me the next time I visit a Goodwill store to see if I can find something that will serve. Lids do not have to be fancy or match, as I am interested in function not form. The 8.5" pan has an 8" inside dimension and 8.5 outside dimension. The 10 inch (24 cm Bratpfanne) is 9.5" in/10" out and the 11.5" is 11" in and 11.5" out.

I highly recommend these pans as they beat the heck out of every previous nonstick pan I have ever owned. Unlike the nonstick pans in which the linings eventually come off and are invariably consumed in the cooked food, these do not seem to have that issue, nor will they ever have it.

A terrific investment for those who cook and want to avoid the PTFE non-stick coating contamination issue altogether.

Something must have happened to quality control since these earlier reviews were written. I based my order upon these other five star reviews. I'll have to assume that the writers were honest and don't work for Sante.

What I took out of the box was a cheaply cast piece of junk ... the iron was pitted, slag chunks were on the side, someone had taken a sander to crudely remove one of them, and to call the quality of the casting "poor" would be raving praise. You could even see swirls in the metal due to temperature differentiation. They must have cast this is someone's barbecue (in China, because that is where it was made).

I went back and read the most popular review of this, by PJ, and the condition of my pan was the polar opposite of what he describes. I guess they cheapened it.

I'm a Prime member and have ordered more than 100 items per year from Amazon. I've only sent one thing back, a pair of shoes that were the wrong size.

This will be item 2.

I am new to cast iron and love this pan. You do need to look up how to take care of your pans (never, ever use soap!), but they give an excellent flavor and are a wonderful kitchen tool. This is not only for pies, but for anything that might need cooking in the oven. We had some great cornbread made in this pan. It gives such a great flavor that glass and other pans cannot give.

I recently purchased many items from the Sante/Cabin Kitchen cast iron line (loaf pan, pie pan, and pizza pans) and a Lodge Logic skillet. I do prefer the seasoning on the Lodge pan to the seasoning on the Sante line, but that was taken care of with a bit of scrubbing and re-seasoning of the Sante pans. The seasoning on the Sante pans gave a slightly odd smell the first time the pan was heated and turned my dishwashing brush brown the first time I cleaned it (before using it). Once the brown stopped coming off, I used my own oil (Grapeseed) to condition it. The tag recommends using their brand conditioner, but I would guess it is why the pan smelled a bit funny and was coming off brown/black, so I won't be buying that. I have had no issues with my pans since I used Grapeseed oil and they are wonderful.

I use Grapeseed oil to condition/season my pans and always heat them in the oven to make sure they are completely dry. (I used Canola oil once to condition it and it just leaves a sticky, gooey mess). If some food is totally stuck on the pan, you can use a mixture of salt and oil to scrub the pan. You will need to be sure to oil and heat the pan after this.

I only bought one of these to start but now I am wishing for one more since I like to make pies/quiches in sets of two (we are a family of four good eaters with a fifth on the way).

I love old-time cooking, including pies. I make my own pie crusts and all... I even use a few antique items to put me in the mood. I also love cast iron cookware so I was excited when I found this item. I received it and it really is great quality! No huge pores or sketchy looking spots that you find with some cheap cast iron pans (I don't know about now days but old foreign made pans you have to inspect pretty well). Anyway, it has the brand Cabin Kitchen and a little cabin molded on the bottom and is just all around attractive. As with all cast iron the heat distribution is nice and even. The crust did not shrink even a hair. Best of all this is pre-seasoned so it doesn't stick. Looks great on a shelf or wall too next to the antique rolling pin when not in use. I also made some corn bread in it...just because I wanted to :) You can't beat the price and I shouldn't have to mention durability. This sucker will last forever as long as you don't put it in the dishwasher..!

Buy Magefesa Delicia Non Stick Stainless Steel Fry Pan

We have a bed and breakfast, so good quality cooking tools is very important to us. We bought this pan last year, only one because that is all they had at the time. We liked it so much for making our omelets that we decided to replace our other pans with two more if this one. Sadly, when we received these, and have since used them, we were very disappointed with their change in quality. The metal is thinner and the handle is different. The nonstick surface is different as well. They are a much lower grade of product then before.

Calphalon C1210P Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have upgraded my rating after using the pan every day for a month. I am giving it five stars because it is a tremendous value. I was too critical in my initial review.

This is my first Calphalon pan. I purchased it primarily to use as an egg and breakfast fare pan. I wanted a good non-stick pan, because most of my other pans are stainless steel.

I consider it a very good buy for the price. It has a very attractive design and the interior non-stick cooking surface appears to be very durable. However, the pan is slightly heavy and slow to reach the proper temperature compared to stainless steel. The manufacturer's enclosed brochure says the slow warm-up is due to the non-stick surface (true of most non-stick pans). Once it arrives at the required temperature, it performs very well. This aluminum pan is the equivalent of a permanently seasoned cast iron griddle. It produces foolproof omelets and the food never sticks. I use it to warmup chicken breasts and make grilled sandwiches too. It is the most used pan in the house, because of my passion for eggs.

This product, like a few other Calphalon products I have examined, slipped past the quality control inspector. On my pan there is an interior area, smaller than a grain of rice, that was not sprayed with the non-stick coating. It is high enough on the pan where no one will ever cook on that spot, but it is there in plain sight. The lack of quality control may have something to do with the Calphalon pans being manufactured in third world countries no offense intended. This pan is made in China. You would probably not have any trouble forgiving the stray blemish. Especially, when you consider this pan's beauty, functionality, and price.

Here is my list of PROS and CONS for this purchase.

PROS:

Good price.

Excellent non-stick surface appears to be very durable too.

Excellent stain resistant exterior.

Cool & comfortable handle.

Attractive appearance.

Lifetime warranty.

CONS:

Slow to warm up, because of the non-stick surface.

Fairly heavy pan you won't flip anything without a spatula think griddle.

Quality control at Calphalon could be better.

The handle is beautiful, but the finish on the handle and rivets are not as refined as some of the more expensive cookware brands. However, it has no impact on the cooking.

Conclusion: Excellent pan for the price.

I picked up this Commercial Nonstick skillet along with several other pieces of Calphalon's open stock collection, and I have been impressed with every piece I've gotten. This is great for burgers as well as omeletes and pancakes. About the only "problem" with it is that I'm not accustomed quite yet to the high quality found in Calphalon, and I didn't expect the burgers to brown on a non-stick surface as quickly as they did, so I wound up with two rather rare burgers as a result of fearing that I would burn them. Now that I see how Calphalon's nonstick line cooks, I have had more success, and now I have beautifully cooked hamburgers every time.

This is nonstick, so you do have to treat it with kid gloves, but as long as you use nylon or wooden utensils, do not overheat the pan, and don't run it through the dishwasher, this pan should last you a lifetime. I'm so glad I bought this, because I know that Calphalon's line of Collector's Edition products are only available for a limited time each year. I'm glad I didn't miss out on this beauty before it was gone forever!

Best Deals for Calphalon C1210P Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International

This Calphalon Commercial Nonstick "Collector's Edition" 10-Inch International Griddle/Crepe Pan is from the newest line of Calphalon's nonstick cookware. The "Commercial" nonstick finish on the inside of these pans is very durable as long as one uses wooden, nylon, or good plastic cooking utensils with them and keeps the heat below 400 degrees (medium-high). This 10-inch pan is the perfect size for making crepes, without any need for butter in the pan. The crepes cook quickly and evenly, so it is easy to prepare a lot of them for blintzes or crepes suzette. Also you can make buckwheat blinis or use it as a small griddle for silver dollar pancakes or a grilled cheese sandwich.

Since this pan has a beautiful stainless steel handle, it will stay cool to the touch. Calphalon recommends hand-washing of this pan. It will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a nice gift for a friend.

Honest reviews on Calphalon C1210P Commercial Nonstick 10-Inch International

I have several Calphalon pots and pans that I've purchased over the years that have been just great. All of which were manufactured in Ohio.

This pan became useless after three months of gentle care using only nylon utensils made for non-stick pans. The non-stick coating on this pan lived up to its name. It does not stick to the pan's cooking surface, but instead peels off in big flakes.

This skillet, and two other Calphalon pans that I've purchased from Amazon in the last year were made in China, and are terrible as to quality, endurance, and finish. This skillet did a good job for a month or so, but then started slowly losing its non-stick surface.

The other two pans received from Amazon were of such poor quality right out of the box that I returned them the same day for a refund. No such luck with this pan.

The brand name Calphalon does not mean a quality product anymore if it was made in China.

Discount Lodge ASAHH11 Silicone Assist Handle Holder, Black

Customer Ratings:

As someone getting up in years and not in the best of health, this item is something that I wish I had when I started using my cast iron skillets on a glass-topped range. A full 10 or 12 inch cast skillet is more than I can handle gracefully with one hand and this holder is much better than even a silicone hot pad. I'm going to get another, so I can cook with with 2 large skillets at once. If you are buying a large skillet, get one of these assist handle holders and a silicone handle cover with it.

I bought two of these, one for each skillet I own. I probably should have done a little measuring first but was surprised when I received these and found out that the handle on my medium (10") skillet is smaller than the handle on the large (12") skillet. It sitll functions, but just doesn't sit perrfectly. It would be GREAT if Lodge tweaked these a bit a lip on the bottom edge to prevent knuckles curling around the handle and hitting the skillet, and also a bump or button in the middle of these to go up into the hole in the handle, to hold it on and prevent it sliding off. They definitely are handy to have, especially as my husband tries to make breakfast with the kids they are prone to reaching for things without thinking first so we've stuck these on all handles. Bottom line, they're handy but not perfect.

Best Deals for Lodge ASAHH11 Silicone Assist Handle Holder, Black

I have cooked with cast iron for years so I was skeptical of this "handle holder." I must also say that I am not a fan of silicone, if you get a cheaper product, and I don't mean price, then you won't be happy.

Having said that, I really like this product. I can grab my pots, either on the stove top or in the oven, and be confident that it won't slip or burn my hand. If you place the holders, I bought 2, on the handle correctly which is VERY easy then It really does "assist" your ability to safely and securely grab the pot!

I will definitely be purchasing some of these for my family and friends who also use cast iron. Yes, I would use these camping as well.

Some details -

trying to pick up a cast iron pot, pan etc... using just one of these with a pot will not work. I'm 5'3", 122lbs and over 50 :), so I like to hold both sides.

You can use 2 of these on pots with assist handles OR

you can use 1 of these along with the Lodge silicone hot frying pan holder. I'm happy with both!

Clarification this will not work on a frying pan or traditional "pot" handle only the side assist handles.

Honest reviews on Lodge ASAHH11 Silicone Assist Handle Holder, Black

Works well and lets very little heat through the Silicone. Note though; It should not be left in place while cooking.

One slight downside is the little hole on the outer edge of the bottom piece of Silicone. Depending on the pan you use this holder on, you do have to be careful not to pick up a hot pan with your finger over the hole! Its about 1/8" in diameter (its where the product tag was attached) and is just big enough to let your skin touch a red hot piece of metal pan if you are not careful.

Today's Bonus: 17% Off

I bought these five months ago. I spent hours and hours online shopping for a new set of pots and pans, reading hundreds of reviews, researching the benefits of hard adonizing over stainless steel and other aluminum products, and this was the set I finally chose. I couldn't be happier! I looked at everything out there; from the cheapest to the most expensive professional cookware there is. I compared Pampered Chef, Paula Deen, Emeril, Cuisinart, Kitchenaid, Le Creuset.....and more. I checked them all out!

My Criteria. Versatility I'm single so for the most part I use the smaller pans in the set. Because of that it was important to me to find a set that had lids that fit the smaller skillets. Most sets out there have lids for the pots, but nothing for the skillets. But I also wanted larger pans for when I do entertain.

Durability I've spent way too much money in the past on pans that bend if you drop them, can't stand up to high heat, or end up with non-stick that starts peeling off after a few uses. I was looking for durability.

Non-Stick I'm a cook, not a chef, and have never really like stainless steel, so it was weeded out of the selection choices early on. I do like cast iron and at first was dreamy eyed about very expensive enamel coated cast iron (Le Creuset), until several of the reviews reported their enamel was chipping into the food and they have had no luck collecting on the lifetime guarantee, and this stuff is expensive!

Price obviously I wanted the best bang for my buck. I'd have purchased a more expensive set if I thought the quality pay off was worth it.

So that was my criteria.....and this set fullfills it perfectly.

Durability Hard adonized It is twice as strong as stainless steel, and a fraction of the weight. I haven't dropped any on the floor yet, or taken a hammer to them, but they feel solid and have held up fantastic so far. The other choices didn't seem so great. Any of the enamel sets (including Rachel Ray) reported chipping and peeling enamel, some just from being put in the dishwasher a couple of times. The cheaper non-stick coatings were peeling off, and I've already mentioned the issue with the enamel cast iron. The real test of the hard adonized will reveal itself with time. I've used them in high eat, stuck them in the oven, cooked rice, eggs, mac & cheese, and it all slides right off the non-stick coating and haven't had even a scorch no matter how high the heat. I'm OCD about using the appropriate utensils for non-stick pans in order to avoid scratches or abrasions, but this non-stick coating is not the cheap crap that will eventually peel off. If you take care of it, it's going to last a while.

Versatility The lids from the pots fit the skillets! It is So awesome to have a lid for every pan! No more using a tiny lid in a big pan to cook my basted eggs; no more having the edges of a bigger lid dripping condensation onto a burner.....a lid for every pan!! The one question I was asking myself as I unpacked it was "where the heck am I going to put these?" Well, all the pots nest nicely within each other, with a paper towel between them to protect the finish, and the same goes for the skillets. The lids actually take up more space, but also store easily in a couple of stacks next to the pans.

So, there you have it. I'm really well-pleased with this cookware. I almost didn't buy it at first because I didn't want to get sucked into buying a set with a TV Chef's name attached. But I really did the research and was convinced this was perfect for me, and so far, I have been spot on!

Update: A few more months have gone by and I thought I should add a couple things. The set is still as great as my original review and I still love them.

A warning about putting them in the dishwasher. I don't know if it is recommended or not, but I thought I'd rather use the dishwasher even if it shortened the lifespan of the pans a bit. However, the soap residue did discolor the outside of the pan. I was able to scrub it off with an SOS pad, but then decided I love their color too much to run them through the dishwasher. They clean up so easily that it's not a big deal.

Also, someone commented about a cheap set that got burn marks on the bottom. These will get burn marks also. It's pretty much my fault as I've poured grease out of the pan and then put it back on the burner, and the grease that dripped down the side burned. It came off with some scrubbing, but there is still a mark there.

Regardless of these two issues, this set still is perfect for what I wanted and is performing in every way expected. Enjoy!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pot set. I had just recently relocated from up north to down south and was in the market for a new pot set for my new home. I did alot of research and looking at reviews on many many websites. I was a little apprehensive about purchasing since my new home has a glass cooktop stove and many reviewers expressed concern about its use with a glass cooktop. Well i decided to give it a try and they are great. They clean up easily and cook well and evenly. When storing I place a paper towel in between all the pots so that they won't scratch each other. I even use them with high temperature and no problems with the pots or my cooktop. I cook at least twice a day so the pots get quite a lot of use and they still look brand new after four months of heavy use and constant washing. Great buy!!!!

I have not purchased (for myself) cookware in 15 years and bought this set a year ago for my daughter and have been helping her out with her twin girls and using the cookware. I liked it so much that I purchased the 14 pc. set for myself. The best investment I have made in a long time.

I purchased these items and was very excited about getting them. I like the look and felt it would be a great addition to my kitchen. When I got them I really liked the look and was what I expected. That is where it stopped meeting my expectations. I read the warranty and directions and went over everything with my husband so that he knew how to use them. When storing them I even placed the cardboard under each pan as I stacked them so that they wouldn't scratch eachother. I wanted these to last a long time. But they didn't. I have only had them a month and the pans that I use end up with brown spots on the bottom of them. Then recently we were cooking turkey bacon in one of the pans and to this moment I still can't get the 1/4" of stuff of the pan. Everything in the pan stuck to it and I still am an unable to get it off. I wasn't even cooking it on hight heat like they tell you not to. When I called the warranty program it is just a phone number that you are not even able to reach a live person to discuss your issue. All they give is an address that you are suppose to pay to have it shipped to and they will review it for warranty. I feel that is a poor process. It would be nice to be able to actually speak to a live person first before having to pay for shipping across the county. I wouldn't recommend this product and would suggest buying something else. If the warranty process would be easier than it is, I would maybe suggest it as I may have had just a bad set. But with not having a great guaranty, I suggest another pan set.

I purchased the 14 pc Rachael Ray Hard Anodized set in December 2011 and was so excited about getting them. I really thought I had picked the perfect set of cookware. When I opened the box I was impressed with the look and feel and couldn't wait to use them. That's where the good review ends. The biggest problem I had with them is the warping. The large sauté pan sat flat on my glass top stove when cold. When heated to med or med-high the pan would warp and start to spin. I was browning breaded chicken breasts and touched the handle by mistake and the pan spun around almost spilling hot oil over the stove and me. I noticed it didn't sit flat on the stove anymore. When cooled, it sat flat again without problem. I called Amazon they said it was most likely a defect and sent out another set with free express shipping. The second set came two days later and I was so disappointed to find out that it did the same thing. The other problem I had with this set was much smaller and not a huge deal but figure it's worth mentioning. I noticed that the handles got very hot when on the stove. I was cooking pasta and had to use pot holders to pick up the pot to drain the water. I never had to do that before with any set I've ever had. The handles are supposed to stay cool to the touch but they didn't. I can't imagine having to use potholders every time I cooked anything on the stove top. I did some research online and found that warping was a common complaint for this cookware set. So, after speaking to the manufacturer and Amazon, I decided to order a different set. After more research I finally decided on the 12 pc Anolon Advanced Set. It's more expensive but had great reviews... sometimes you really do get what you pay for. Even though I'm a fan of Rachael Ray and love her show and have many of her cookbooks, I hate to say I would not recommend this set to anyone. I feel it's poorly made and bottom line it didn't meet expectations.

Sure this isn't going to fit a 30lb turkey, but hey I have an old ceramic coated roaster, and it is nice, had it for 20 years. One of my biggest issues with this pan is that when carying heavy stuff with the handles it has a tendancy to want to spill. And of course the ceramic coating chips easy. Well if you notice in the picture the handles are offset, well pick this pot up by the handles, and you feel a perfectly balanced pot that is easy to carry. I always like it when a manufacturer makes somthing that you need, and didn't even realize you needed it. With that said no other roaster is ever going to measure up. I would not buy it at the list price, but this pan is worht what Amazon charged at the time of my purchase of just less than that recomended by manufacturer. Will follow up after this pan has been used several times or so.

One WMF stainless steel roasting pan I received had rusty spot shown during using.( I only boiled water the first time I used my WMF pan!) I sent e-mail to WMF's CS to ask questions months ago, I have never got any reply for the issue from them. My WMF roasting pans look very nice when they arrived.(PS. I bought 2 pans.) Heavy but the size is not very big. Because of the rusty spot on one of my pans( My another WMF pan is still new, so I don't know if another pan has the same issue or not?), I can't give it more than 3 stars. For their CS staff. I have to give them 0 since I have never got any reply from them.

Honest reviews on WMF Stainless Steel Deep Oval Roasting Pan, 16-1/4-Inch

Bought this on Lightning Deal ahead of holidays and found a flaw in the interior finish. Amazon promptly sent a replacement (we received too late to use as planned for holiday meal). The second one is perfect on the interior, but has a flaw on the exterior finish. It irks me to think Amazon is selling factory seconds as "a deal" but I can't think otherwise based on this experience.

Otherwise, the piece is well balanced, perfectly level on our granite countertops (though the product literature says the oval shape makes that impossible to guarantee), and should outlive us! Haven't used it yet.

Instructions for cleaning direct NOT to use any abrasives on the interior, but to soak after use, then clean with a soft cloth/sponge. Can anyone who has this roaster tell me if that works just fine?

Recieved in a timely fashion. Very attractive. Have used twice and with good treatment this should last a very long time. I have many pieces of stainless cookware and if you clean well between uses it shines up nicely.
