How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use heat-resistant gloves when handling the hot pot.

  • Increase liquid: Add more water or broth to thin thick sauces and prevent dry spots.
  • Layer ingredients: Place liquids and thinner ingredients at the bottom, with thicker sauces or starchy foods on top.
  • Stir during sauté: When using Sauté, stir frequently and avoid leaving food unattended on high heat.
  • Check pot condition: Inspect the inner pot for warping or hot spots. Replace if the bottom is no longer flat.
