To prevent sticking, grease the pot lightly with cooking spray or oil before adding ingredients. Also, avoid cooking on high settings for extended periods. Stir occasionally if your recipe allows.

How much liquid should I add to the Morphy Richards 461016 when cooking?

Typically, you should ensure the ingredients are covered with liquid to about halfway up the pot. Slow cooking retains moisture, so less liquid is needed compared to traditional cooking methods.
