Accessories
The bowl that is sold with this unit has convenient handles. It is also protected by a special ceramic coating. The latest material is Korean-made, so no quality claims arise. Side handles are an idea that is not very popular with multicooker manufacturers. It is precisely because of this that customers like this solution is very much appreciated. The fact is that thanks to the handles it is possible to comfortably and safely take out a container with hot contents.
You can purchase an additional bowl called PIP 0502K. The color of the coating is a little different. However, this does not affect the cooking process. Each of these bowls has a graduated gradation inside.
The spoons that come with the kit look quite standard for the middle price category, but the glasses for yogurt are encouraging in that they are made in the shape of a heart.

Multicooker Care
The Polaris PMC 0527D manual describes in detail how to care for the device. In principle, the process is simple. A bowl, a container that allows you to steam, and spoons are allowed to be washed in a dishwasher. The valve will have to be cleaned manually. For this purpose, you can use the “Steaming”. In order to clean the inner lid, as well as the edges around the bowl, you must use a regular rag or washcloth. Wash these places in a different way just does not work. If you clean these areas immediately after the cooking process, then no difficulties will arise.
