I have that exact model, so a couple of tips I have learned: A good metal cookbook/tablet holder works great for the lid when you take it off, and the mesh basket should be sprayed with oil before placing food to cook on it makes it easier to clean

The metal ring is to elevate the lid for taller foods (whole chicken, for example), not to cradle the glass bowl as you're doing. Remove the metal ring and let the glass bowl sit in its plastic bed. I use the metal ring to rest my lid when checking my food. It keeps the heating element raised and safe.

I have owned two of these contraptions (different brand but still same item) and I was completely in love. The first one I had about 1 and a half years, I became dependent on it until the halogen bulb blew up. Sounded like a bomb went off. Had to toss dinner for safety sake. I immediately purchased another, all was well for the first year and a couple days (past warranty). It too blew up. So sad...but could not bring myself to purchase another. They are fantastic until they are not. My kids got me the Ninja air fryer/grill that year for Christmas (2 1/2 yrs ago), I have been beyond thrilled ever since. If comparing, and not considering the malfunctions, hands down I would chose the Ninja 9 out of 10 times.

I absolutely love my big boss. Best cooker out there. I almost never use the tall rack and I just use that rack to set the hot lid on. Moisture will break the bulb. Never turn on if you think the bulb is wet. When the unit turns off its smart to remove the lid immediately to avoid condensation building on the bulb. I've had to replace the bulb once in 2 years(my own fault), it costs roughly 30 bucks on Amazon. It took me nearly an hour to replace the bulb having to take apart the entire thing. THE BEST COOKER.

@selcuk6264 You are not submerging the lid in water. You cannot touch the bulb as it is behind a metal grate. If the bulb is hot, do not put water on it. If there is water on the bulb, do not turn it on. Same goes for all hot things.

Yes. I've had them for years. Food is succulent, fadt, clean, easy. It's amazing once you learn how to use it. I haven't used my standard oven for years. It's not a bad design, you need a lid holder. It holds the lid sideways so it's not down onto the counter. And you don't need to reheat the oven. And it's self cleaning on thaw or clean for 10/15 mins. But easy to clean with a cloth or in the sink. You caan cook meats and roasts straight on the glass bowl, or anything else, really. I use glass or pyrex dishes. It shouldn't take twice as long to cook things. Chips are faster and easier in an air fryer, shaking part way through.

There's an outlet near my stove on the wall. I set the unit on my glass stove top and when I have to remove the lid I just set it on top of the stove. I would not put it on any kind of fabric or anything like that... potholders and the like because it probably will burn it but using it right on top of the stove. works perfect for me. If you don't have an outlet near your stove I would just have a wood cutting board close by that you don't really care about having a burn mark on it just in case that happens. Or just get a piece of wood. For safety measures I would run the piece of wood underwater to make sure that it doesn't continue to burn. I can't think of any other way to do it. But I will say using it on the stove saves counter space as well as providing a safety measure to sit the lid on it later. I do have a glass top.... I don't know how well this would work on a stove with coil burners. The point is using it on the stove top is awesome because of the lack of counter space I have in my kitchen. I will say though because it's halogen and even though it gets really hot for cooking it does cool down rather quickly so I'm not really worried about that too much at all. Enjoy. I am having so much fun with this piece of kitchen equipment. We are so into coming up with all kinds of things to cook in it. Today I'm doing sausage and broccoli rabe. I think this product is amazing and I would be happy to advertise for this company. Just awesome.
