Do you have to have a sauce pan under
742009
Yes, must have a sauce pan under this steamer insert. The pan will provide the boiling water and steam for the food above, in this steamer insert.
742010
Yes, just like the other reviewers commented it cannot work effectively if you do not have a pan underneath with water to steam what is in the pan/pot
742011
Yes, or the equivalent size casserole pan. The bottom of this steamer basket is perforated to allow the steam from the boiling water in the sauce pan or casserole pan to pass through and steam the food.

I use my pan for pizza and slide the complete pizza off the pan before cutting the pizza. I am afraid of damaging the pan, which may or may not be true if I would cut on the pan.

I use under my element. I have not had any problem. I spilled a pie and just let it get firm and wiped it off. Just make sure it fits the bottom only.

I just put a little olive oil and sauce along the sides and bottom. When I use it to. Make meat loaves i do grease it. Just love this pan!

yes...there is a layer of teflon inside...but you should be careful in washing and using metal spoons as they can damage the teflon layer

Yes, in a small sauce pan however in my opinion, the frying mechanisms doesn't get hot enough for me. I ended up having to throw out my unit within three months of purchase. Theunit burned out from normal, daily usage. It was cute while it lasted. I will never buy another one. Perhaps you will have better luck. Good luck and enjoy!

We re-heat pizza directly on the mat. We also re-heat french fries, onion rings, and just about anything you can think of that needs to stay crispy. No, we do not place a pan under it. It cleans up easily.

I do not, I am very careful not to put any thing hot on it, if I do I have a pot holder on the bottom. I do use the extra space while getting everything ready for cooking.

For most items that I cook you can put the baking dish directly on the oven rack. If I am cooking an item I know will spill over then I use a cookie sheet under the baking dish.

Sort of. They recommend using pans on low to medium heat. If you use them on high heat it will get hotter and be harder to clean the pans.

You can if you want but you don't have to. Underneath the trays is a flat hot pan so that keeps the trays and food warm

I wouldn't do it. I often have people help me cook who get too eager to wash a pan before it cools. Over time it will warp. Even if it slightly warps it will be hard to get a tight seal with the lid.

Directly under the burners if you are asking about the large ss drip pan. There is also a small square collection pan positioned under the drip pan's lowest point (round hole). There are ss supports where the collection pan slides into the botton of the drip pan.

Yes, the non-stick insert is required. Under that is just the heating element.

Yes you do. I just keep mine off unless guests are coming and i want it to look nice on stove.

It says you should not. I left burner on low for a little too long with not much in pan and it did leave a discoloration. I am someone who used to cook on high and have had to adjust but from all I read you shouldn't be cooking on high anyway. I really am liking the pans. Ives vey surprised at how light weight they were and almost was turned off by this thinking they were cheaply made but I am really liking them.

Yes you can, however I have not placed the lid in there only the pan with foil on top. works really well!
