Know before you buy
SmartLid technology features a single lid that slides to switch between three modes: Pressure Cooking, Air Frying, and SteamCrisping. This eliminates the need to swap out different lids during the cooking process.
Steam frying combines steam with convection heat to cook food faster while keeping the inside moist. It produces a crispy exterior without drying out proteins like chicken or vegetables as much as standard air frying.
Yes, the 8-quart capacity is designed for larger households and batch cooking. It can comfortably fit a 7-pound chicken or enough ingredients to feed 6 to 8 people.
The OL601 has a footprint of 14.2 inches by 14.2 inches. Because it is a multi-cooker, it replaces several appliances, but you should ensure you have enough vertical clearance to open the lid fully.
Yes, the 14-in-1 functionality includes a slow cook setting. You can use it for traditional low-and-slow recipes in addition to high-pressure and air-frying methods.
The stainless steel cooking pot and the included accessories are dishwasher safe for easy cleanup. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain the finish and longevity of the non-stick components.
