To add to that — Appreciate the tip — that unit worked for me too once I ditched aerosol sprays and stopped soaking. Small caveat: the crisper plate can nick the basket rim if you drop it in at an angle, so I set it gently and dry both pieces right away or water spots turn into rough patches. I also do a quick wipe with a tiny bit of neutral oil after washing and avoid letting salty or acidic marinades sit in the hot basket, which seemed to speed up wear for me.
