Awesome for soup Jan 31, 2010
We bought this after the recommendations from my sister, mom and aunt. Apparently, this gadget is very popular in Hong Kong. It is so easy to cook Chinese soup now. We bring the ingredients in the inner pot to boiling for 20-30min the night before, then let it simmer inside the thermo cooker. Next AM, take the inner pot out and bring it to a boil (takes 8-10min) and put it back inside the thermo cooker. By the afternoon after work, nice delicious soup awaits when we come home. This is a well made Japanese product and make cooking soup a breeze. Highly recommended.

Functional and Elegantly Designed Nov 20, 2009
I have done extensive research on thermal cookers and purchased the 8.0 liter model. The cooker is well-designed because the handle design of the inner-pot makes it easy and safe to lift the boiling pot from the stove into the true vacuum flask. The inner-pot is of sturdy stainless steel construction and the bottom is reinforced to avoid burning food on the stove during initial preparation. Both the inner-pot and the vacuum flask are very easy to clean. The inside of the vacuum flask is smooth stainless steel with no crevices for food to get stuck so that you can literally wipe it clean should you spill anything into the vacuum flask.
The lid of the inner-pot allows you to conveniently see the inside of the pot during the initial cooking. The knob on the lid of the inner-pot fits within a matching indentation under the lid of the vacuum flask so that the lid does not slide around while the outer-lid of the vacuum flask is fastened. Both the 6.0 liter and 8.0 liter models have locks to secure the insulated outer-lid of the vacuum flast in place while the food is cooking for further security.
The brushed stainless steel exterior is handsome and easy to wipe clean.
Unlike electrical slow cookers (although I still find them very useful in many contexts), the heat surrounds the inner pot during cooking rather than just from the bottom of the electrical slow cooker pot. That makes cooking legumes and starchy ingredients easier because they do not stick to the bottom of the pot. Also, you can brown your meats in the inner-pot of the thermal cooker and then add your additional ingredients to the same pot unlike most electrical slow cookers's inner-pots.
So this product comes with my high recommendations. While this thermal cooker does retain high temperatures for longer than 12 hours, make sure that after your food has finished cooking that the food is not held at an unsafe temperature. Thermal cookers operate the best when the inner-pot is filled to 80% capacity.

This Pot Rocks! Jan 14, 2009
I live in Hong Kong and this is advanced version of the crock pot! You can not imagine what this pot does! It make great soups, stews, stock all while you are away. Most of the time I put whatever I want to prepare in the pot, bring it to a rolling boil for 10 minutes (depending on the density of the food), take it off the stove and close it up over night. The next morning, I put it in the fridge. Great soups, pot roast, lamb stew, chili, many comfort foods without so many calories - you keep all the natural flavors "in the pot" while it's cooking. My husband and I gave everyone in our immediate family a pot and after two years, they discovered how wonderful it is....now they can't live without them! Great to store food for tailgating and other outings! And you don't use any energy after the initial boiling! A must for busy people.....I can't say enough about "THE POT!"

Great cooker! Dec 05, 2008
I'm happy with this thermal cooker. It is great for making soup. It cooks the meat very tender and keeps the soup warm for extended hours. Time, energy and effort saving!!!
