At my ripe old age I should know this, but am not sure, so..... Is it safe to put a layer of coking foil in the bottom of the grill pan, in an effort to cut down cleaning?

I always do it makes cleaning much easier however I recently discovered what are called fat blisters strange name but they are what I can only describe as thicker quilted like sheets of foil these are much easier to change and dispose off than the foil that often sticks to the bottom of the grill pan

Busters not blisters

I use foil in the bottom of grill pans, but you can also buy oven liners, such as this one sold at Lakeland.

The listed item costs over a tenner, but I buy mine at Home Bargains, and they cost much less than that!

They're really useful, and easy to keep clean.

Also, if yours using foil then remember to change it each time or the cooking fats can catch fire.
