How do you take it off to stir without causing water spillage?

I just lifted it and any fluid drained back into my soup, then I stirred it. I didn't really remove the cover and put it on a plate...just lift, stir and put it back in place. Hope this helps. I still love mine.

When picked up the lid will drip, but it is a small problem that can be wiped up it doesn't make a mess like it does with a total boil over that takes a lot to scrub off. I love it and bought everyone one for Christmas this year.

Just lift it straight up and it will drain back in the pot. There are holes under the center section to allow the boil-over to be contained in the lid. They would also allow for drainage. Just like any lid, you will get a drip or two from the condensation on the underside so allow for that.

I lift It off and set it on the counter on a tea towel. If it's not too full of liquid then I just set it on the counter and wipe it off when I'm finished replacing the lid.

I actually just give it a good stir before I put the cover on & then don't take it off. The pasta turns out great still. I have taken it off at times though & have my spoon in hand ready to stir before it has time to boil over.

Hold the on green (wash) button down for approximately 3 seconds. The nozzle will come out for cleaning (no water will be spraying). Push the button again and it retracts.

The "stir" button does not run continuously. It only runs while your finger is on it, so you'd need to stand there holding it to constantly stir. For things like fudge this wouldn't work. For something that just can't burn, I would imagine you'll be totally fine as this doesn't burn stuff as long as there is a liquid in it :)

Clean the surface with alcohol, tubbing, not the drinking kind. And ince you attach it hold it for a few seconds. It took a couple of times for me too.

No, that will make it very hard to stir! The oil separates so keep it room temperature until you open it and then stir it very well, may sure you get the bottom. I use a very long knife.

There is a white piece that can be popped out of the piece that screws on the top. But you have to unscrew the top, turn it upside down to pop it out and then basically you have to leave it out. I just leave it in take as unscrew the whole top off to drink out of it

The heating element can come off by sliding off the part at the back. After the oil is completely cool, you now have a container (the black inside you are seeing) that can be lifted out from the base (the silver part with the handle). Or you can lift everything with the handle and pour but be sure to hold the black part so it doesn't just drop out and make a mess.

You Pull It Off. Just Use A Bit Of Force.. Though It'll Come Right Of. Just Be Cautious To Not Loose Your Bottle On The Floor In The Process... Had That Happen Once To Me :-[

You need to use a spoon to get it out. There is no way to pour it. Its kinda messy pouring the grease in but i still like it. Its agood size and works well for me.

There's a cover on the pot that you screw on. You either screw the cover off altogether and pour or unscrew the cover to the 'Pour' position and pour out what you want.

Just flip it off gently starting in the middle. Use a piece of card stock. Do Not use a knife or screwdriver.

Use the "inverted method"---better flavor, always consistent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugj5OONvGZQ (I top up the water after I stir.)

Leave the little white straw alone. That is part of the auto on/off mechanism.

I've decided not to attempt to remove the strainer. I rinse it thoroughly after each use by running water through it in both directions with the bottom in the open position. Unless you have a really deep sink, I'd recommend that when rinsing it from the bottom you start with the water at low pressure in order to avoid making a mess. Once you have the "opener" depressed and the water flowing directly over the opening, you can turn the water up to full pressure. Rinsing from the top doesn't pose any problems. You can start with the water at full pressure and simply depress the "opener" from the bottom. My strainer is slightly tinted from the tea but that's all. If I ever decide that the strainer needs cleaning, I'll let hot soapy water sit in it for a few hours. I simply don't want to mess with such a good thing by removing the strainer. It seals perfectly and I'd rather not do anything that might cause the seal to leak.

Add water slowly a tbsp at a time and stir well. I also have added to smoothies..

Loosen the string through the loops. The string can be removed from the cap and the cup itself that way.
