Cover the dish with an approved cover or use a heating device. Some have even said non-stick spray may work but I have never used it.

Wouldn't the "Non Stick Spray " Not Stick to the surface and run off the reflector ?
This is the experience I have had with these items.
I have had no luck with the Pam type stuff and the Rain Fade stuff as well.

skihoodoo,
My suggestion, try the heating devices.
Not a gutter heater, they are too long and a mess to deal with.
If your in an area that get snow regularly, I would definatly look into the Ice Zapper type of thing.

There's another thread you might want to look at that has been dealing with this issue for several weeks now.
If I can find it, I'll post it.
