FAQ
How does DualSync Technology work?
DualSync Technology is an intelligent timer system that calculates cook times for both pots independently. You set different cooking methods, temperatures, and times for each pot, and the system automatically starts each one at the right moment so both dishes finish simultaneously. It takes the guesswork out of timing multiple dishes.
Can I use just one pot at a time?
Absolutely! Each pot operates independently, so you can use just one pot when cooking smaller meals or single dishes. This flexibility makes it perfect for everyday cooking as well as larger meal preparations.
What can I bake in the bake mode?
The bake function (300°F or 350°F) is perfect for desserts, breads, casseroles, baked pastas, cornbread, cobblers, brownies, and more. While it won't replace a full oven, it's excellent for side dishes and desserts that complement your main meal.
How big is each cooking pot?
Each pot holds 3.7 quarts, which is perfect for feeding 4+ people per pot. Combined, you can easily prepare complete meals for 6-8 people or do serious meal prep for the week ahead.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes! The ceramic-coated nonstick pots wipe clean easily, and the lid, pots, and steam rack are all dishwasher safe. For best longevity, hand washing the pots is recommended, but they're designed for minimal scrubbing either way.
Can the pots go in the oven?
Yes, the removable cooking pots are oven-safe up to 450°F. This is perfect for adding a crispy, golden finish to dishes like casseroles or for broiling the top of a meal after slow cooking.
Does it have a delay start feature?
No, the MultiMeal does not include a delay-start function. Cooking begins when you start the program, but the DualSync Technology manages the timing to ensure both pots finish together at your desired time.
