Does anyone find it difficult to access the knobs when cooking with this in place?

It can be a little tricky, but worth it so have the safety feature so that kids can't get to the knobs

It is not easy but that is the point. They are accessible over the top of the guard and turning them is not impeeded. The other thing I like is that it keeps little hands away from the pots on top of the stove.

There are no knobs on the cabinet to open it. You have to pull the outside edge to open it. If you frame it, it may obstruct that outside edge. That would be my only hesitation.

The knob is not to be turned. It is stationary to give you a solid grip. Push the small teeth under the knob into the piece of food and then just push the knob back and forth.

Don't know what it could be, but not an issue, at least for me, given the position of the knobs on my stove (mine are on the front, many inches away from the burners and the pots/pans/skillets being used). If necessary, it really is not too much trouble to remove the safety knobs while cooking and replace them once cooking is done.

Quite well actually. It might take you a try or two to figure out how far to turn the nob and wich tray to put if on, other than that it's a fantastic oven.

It is difficult to do, you have to try to lift it up by the edges. Mine leaked all over the oven so I returned it.

not difficult at all. This is my second meco grill and I have been pleased with them. I am not a handy man so I do not think you will have a problem

I turned mine on a little too high once and noticed that the spatula (which came with the cookware set) melted a little on the surface. I couldn't get it completely off when I washed the pan. I think it has worn off now, but I wasn't thrilled about that because I don't really like using plastic to begin with. This is the ONLY problem I've had so far with this cookware.

No it's not difficult. Make sure you don't use anything that is really abrasive. Oh and you have to season it before using it, that's a must. Also, I was very disappointed with the fact that after a one time use the porcelain burned off or wore off. It did this where the rim of the cover sits on the lip of the insert. It really isn't a problem it's just I thought it was strange that it did this. I don't know why either.

I have. The hole wasn't an issue. I believe its there to accommodate the other cooking methods (steaming, baking) but it didn't change the result of my recipes. I totally love that thing and it's multi functions. Hope this helped a little.

I just got this machine as a gift. I thought the pan seemed to sit a little loose in the enclosure, so I tried adjusting the fit by bending the fittings on the sides of the pan up a bit. Then the fit was too tight. I bent them down just a little and now the fit seems about right. It doesn't take much pressure to bend the fittings, I did it using just my hands. It only takes a little bit of bending to make a big difference in the fit. So for people who are having trouble removing the pan, I'd suggest bending the fittings down just a little.

Yes, I experienced this. The primary issue I had was the metal plate was unbalanced and rubbed against the stainless at the opening. I tried unsuccessfully to rebalance and was never able to get it to work properly.

Yes, the plastic knob does extend into the the interior but does seem to be of much concern. IT is very small and is not down in the cooking area, just at the top. It does get hit by the steam though. I am more concerned about the fact that all this stuff is made in China and worry the quality of the stainless steal is not what it should be. Problem is, no cookware like this is made here anymore.

Yes, the only problem I have is forgetting its hot and grabbing it with my bare hand. When I remove the pot from the oven I always leave a potholder on top as a reminder.

There is a little insert on the knob, u have to push it in, while pushing the knob. It is hard. I installed 4 of them

No, it just starts to losen up and has to be tightened time to time. My last knob never had to be tightened but did come apart after months of use. Bruce

The knobs are a little hard to turn at first. They will loosen up with use. Just give them a hard twist. That should work.
