Tips
- A few brands of hot pots are dishwasher safe. Read the manufacturers instructions to determine if you can machine-wash your device, but do not assume that you can do so.
- Many hot pots have nonstick surfaces, so it is best to avoid using highly abrasive materials such as steel wool to try to remove heavy grease. Instead, fill the device with soapy water and allow the inside to soak before attempting to clean it more thoroughly.
