Never spray Pam on non-stick pans! It will make them sticky and reduce their non-stick properties. It's not the oil in they cooking spray that is damaging, it's the accellerant. Even sprays labeled "canola oil" or "olive oil" contain these compounds, so don't use them at all on coated pans labeled non-stick. It is petroleum based and will dissolve the non-stick surface, ruining your pans or grills. Use oil or butter instead. The best way to use oil is to brush it onto the food you are cooking. Olive oil works fine as does canola oil, just keep the smoke-point of oil in mind if you're searing anything on high heat. Hope that helps.

The instructions say do NOT use Pam; it ruins the non-stick coating. I've had no problem using nothing at all or butter or olive oil (for taste).

We haven't had serious sticking problems. We tend to use Pam Grilling or other sprays, as needed. Important to have a slight film of oil before you begin to cook.

Well after I clean it I spray a light coating of "high heat" Pam cooking spray and with a cloth wipe the entire grill down and then cover with a plastic cover for the winter! I hope this helps.

I think what you must be asking abut is the electric grill. Yes. It has a small grease tray that is sufficient for the cooking I do on it.

Easy. I spray grate with no-stick spray before grilling. After using grill I put the grate in the sink and soak for a few minutes in hot, soapy water. So far it has cleaned up real well and real easy.

Yes. That is what it is for non stick surfaces. My George Foreman grill is non stick. This is an AMAZING brush and I love it. So easy to clean too.

I have used some Pam but I spray it very lightly and yes to butter and oil you can use these as any recipe calls for. I do love this cookware and am so glad I bought them. I don't put them in the dishwasher though, very easy clean up.

sorry to say that is common withe these types of grills. green egg included. the easiest thing to do is coat with pam and then burn the grates every use. thats not fixing the problem it just cleans them. It's like having cast iron pans. you could bring them inside every use but that may be a hassle. sorry about the issu. :(

If you really want to spray the oil on the grill you can, they sell spray bottles/cans specifically for this purpose. You put your chosen oil in the bottle/can and there is a pumping lid you use to get it to spray out like a regular cooking spray, but without the stuff in it that makes non-stick surfaces gummy. It generally only takes 5 or so pumps to get it going too. try this one or something similar Misto Brushed Aluminum Olive Oil Sprayer

I use it on everything. Anywhere you would spray Pam or I guess Bakers Joy (never used it) you can and should use this. It is fabulous.. I spray it on the grill before putting burgers or steaks on and it works great.

After a 5 min warm up, turn off burners and spray Pam - 'grill' version and restart the burners. Zero problems cooking even the most BBQ chicken or hamburger.

No,however is your spray a little cooking oil on the grills before use they are super easy to clean. I am a big fan of this grill, using it all the time.

The best way is to brush the meat with a little oil. I will add a little spices to the oil before brushing the meat. There is also spray for the grill. That helps some what. When cleaning these porcelain grates ONLY use a bronze brush. A steel brush will destroy them. The bronze is a softer metal. Weber sells a non steel brush. You can tell by the color of the brush. The steel brush has a silver look to the needles and the bronze brush has a brownish-copper look to it. Hope this helps.

DO NOT use pam or any other type of cooking spray, not ever on this pan. These are bad for non-stick pans. If you don't believe me, call Circulon directly. They will tell you this. This is what they told me, but I had already known this. If you have to, use a little oil...but not Pam.

I never use PAM but for some reason the Berkley Jensen (BJ's brand) of cooking spray never builds up. It is the only one I will use and I use it every day on my nonstick pans with no build up. So, if you have a BJ's near you, I recommend theirs.
