Is it the line with the SS interior? If so, stick it in the dishwasher and
be happy.

If it has the non-stick interior, then Peter is correct. We use an OXO brush
w/built-in dish soap dispenser. Works great. The problem with just using a
sponge is that you'll leave stuff to build up in the grooves.
