Are the containers dishwasher-safe?
Yes. All four containers and their lids are dishwasher-safe. The heated base and electrical components should be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Can other cookware be used on the heated base?
Yes. Remove the containers and frame, preheat the base for approximately ten minutes and use cookware suitable for heated surfaces.
