I absolutely love mine! I bought 2 as Christmas gifts last year thru Amazon, and recently my hubby bought one for his brother who by training is a Chef. Lots of info on the internet for recipes, my favorite are a couple by the name of Amy & Jacky, but there are lots. As far as cleaning goes, mine is stainless steel, easiest clean up ever. I give it a little soak and no issues. If it needs a bit more, then I use Bar Keepers friend (kind of like Bon Ami or Comet). I clean my rubber seal on the top dishwasher rack or just in the sink. There are only 2 of us in the house.
