Yup, its possible to cook porridge in thermal cooker. I think the final cooking taste the same with the slow cooker, except this thermal pot doesn't need electric. Since i have thermal cooker, i never use my slow cooker anymore.. :). Love it! :love:

Oh, that good. Thanks for the reply.
Can we put in the rice at night and have the porridge for breakfast? Do we need to reheat or will it still be warm in the morning?

Yes, if you leave the rice overnight, it will become porridge in the morning.. Normally I boiled the rice around 10pm before going to bed, and put the inner pot into the outer pot, leave it overnight.. and when I woke up, it's still warm but i will heat it up again on the stove.. :).

This thermo pot thread seems to fun and exciting.


This is the first time I hear of a Thermal Pot. So it's not slow cooker, not pressure cooker and not double boiler?

How interesting! Wonder how it looks like :?

It's interesting...doesn't use electricity...'cooks' your soup and you have a nutritious soup for dinner. No need to watch the fire either. Took my hubby some time to accept it...anyway, he just has to open his mouth to eat. Mine is a 4.5 litre. There's even a 6 litre but too big for my family.

Wow 4.5 litres is too much for my family. Wonder if they have smaller ones...

Thank you so much for the reply.

I too am looking for a smaller one. What is the smallest size available?
Where to buy and how much. Remember reading someone got a smaller pot free with a bigger one. Is it possible just to buy the smaller pot?

Mine is 2.5L just nice for 2 bowl of soup for a family of 4.
I bought mine for abt $40, Endo Brand. I love to use the pot to prepare clear soup and dessert...very fuss free and save electricity.

4.5 litre is not that big bcos you have to factor in ingredients as well. Bigger also means won’t spill out.

If I want soup to be drank for dinner, I will just prepare it before going out in the afternoon…but by dinner, corn/chicken or pork ribs will very soft.

BTW, for those who are interested. Carrefour is having a sale for the 6-litre Endo pot, at $69.90.

I have no idea too. Probably both of us got to read through all the pages in this thread as I'm sure someone would have mentioned where to get smaller ones.
