To my surprise flies don't have any attraction to it. I also drain my frying pan grease into it (from indoor frying of chicken, etc.) About four times a year I heat it up, stir the black gunk up off the bottom, dump the oil in a hole in the ground (in a shady place), wipe it out quick with a paper towel, and then refill with new vegetable oil (cheapest I can find)I was leery about this model but now I love it<img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/516iNMJ%2BosL._SL500_AC_SS350_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />the heater element drops into the grease for direct heating of grease, along with the basket. When it comes time to deal with old grease I heat it up, remove basket and heating element (you can just see it dropping into oil at bottom of controls), then all you have left is a pan with grease. I stir that up and then just carry that outside wearing gloves to deal with it (after it's cooled to non-lethal temps) - everything else involved with the unit just stays in the porch on newspaper or whatever. Later I bring the "cleaned" pan back in, drop it into cooker body, then drop the basket and heater element back in, fill er up with oil - done- - - Updated - - -<img src="https://image.sportsmansguide.com/adimgs/l/6/611890i_ts.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />- - - Updated - - -this pic is not the actual model but it does show the exploded view</blockquote>
