Possible Causes

Thick foods with insufficient stirring on SAUTÉ, Inner pot not centered, Warped pot base, Faulty temperature sensor causing overshoot

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use appropriate utensils and avoid splashing hot oil or liquids.

  • Stir frequently: When using SAUTÉ or SEAR, stir regularly and avoid leaving thick sauces unattended.
  • Check pot fit: Ensure the inner pot is the correct Ninja model and sits evenly on the heating plate.
  • Use lower settings: Reduce temperature settings for recipes prone to burning and increase cook time slightly.
  • Replace warped pot: If the pot rocks or spins easily, replace it to improve heat distribution.
