 Great when it works. May 15, 2009
I bought one of this product in March 2009 from Amazon.com and gave it to my wife as a gift. she loved it and cooked with it twice each week. It's easy to use and energy efficient. However, in the beginning of June the exterior transportation pot doesn't hold heat anymore. The manufacturer's warranty is only good for 30 days so we have to throw it out, unless l'm willing to spend more to send it back to their shop and pay for repairment.
In all, it's a great product if it could work longer.

 Thermal cooking great for Airstream camping Nov 29, 2008
The Thermos Nissan Cook N' Carry is a great addition to your home kitchen but even more so in your RV or travel trailer. It works much as a crock pot slow cooker except that you do not need electricity. To try it out, we made a green chili stew that was about as good as it gets. After browning the meat (pork butt roast cut into 1" cubes) and adding the rest of the ingredients and the meat to the stainless steel "pot". The nascent stew was brought to a roiling boil and then simmered for five minutes. The stew pot was then lowered into the Thermos portion of the Cook N' Carry, the lid was locked and 6 hours later opened to a perfect green chili stew. The only negative one might mention is that the Cook N' Carry is not cheap.

A Must for Portable Hot Food Oct 07, 2008
If you prepare food for people and need to take it with you, this Cook N' Carry is totally worth the money. It's lightweight, but very sturdy, making it the perfect takealong item. We use it for get-togethers and church functions all the time, and it's SO handy where there's no outlet and MUCH easier than bringing a heavy slow cooker sloshing with sauce/soup/stew.
It's got dual double-walled vaccuum walls, meaning food stays hot (or cold) much longer than you ever thought possible. You can cook something now and serve it hot hours later. Simple design with a great carry handle, and it holds quite a bit of food. The stainless steel is super easy to clean. Highly recommended.
Some people mention using this as a slow cooker, where you just let it cook in its own heat, but why would you pay $150 for that when a slow cooker (with a timer) can be had for $20-30?

What a great idea! Jul 26, 2008
What a great idea! I've been using one for sometime now and I'm amazed at what it can be used for and how great things taste when cooked with. It's a must have item for your kitchen and more!

How did I cook without it? Apr 17, 2008
Worth every penny.
I don't like the idea of leaving things plugged in and on when I'm not homme, fearing an electrical fire.
I used this thing when I lived in the dorms at school (with a good hotplate to get it started for ten minutes, then you put it in the thermal insulator and let it stay there)
I'd come home from a long day of classes to a full hot meal. So awesome.
Now, I use it to cook my steel cut oats, and make my batch for the week.
I have taken it camping as well, so I set everything for lunch going, and then I have all day to enjoy, and at lunchtime everything is hot and ready to serve.
If something happened to mine, I'd definitely get another!
