Thermal pot

[Pen88n]

Thermal pot is a gem - that’s one of the best discovery as it can continue cooking as well as keep food warm. I do stews (chicken / pork / beef) with potato and carrot, Throw all ingredients in and add in marinating ingredients and water. Leave it on stove to cook till boiling for about half hour or more before I leave home. Usually leave it in thermal pot for about 6 hours and when we are back home, can enjoy stew for dinner.


Can also do so with the 1.8l pot for kid’s lunch. My friend cooks stew / soup in the inner pot, and steam rice using the top container. Then she puts all in the thermal pot before she leaves for work. Her DS will be home after school and has a hot meal.

thanks happy mama and 25hrmaid!


unfortunately may not not make it in time...

too much spring cleaning before cny!

Precisely bcos busy, that's why must use thermal pot. No need to watch fire!!!! Cook it the 1st thing in the morning, then piping hot food by lunch time.
I use it either at night b4 sleep for breakfast or morning b4 i leave for work. Much safer then slow cooker i used in the past. B4 dinner, i just heat up 1 more time to make it warmer and to \"kill\" any germs just in case

[quote=\"Happy Mama\"] My sis is going to try making beef stew. :drool:

I've made beef stew in my thermal pot. Very good. And the smell's heavenly when you wait for it to cook.

Wow yummy!!! :drool: jtoh, how long did you have to boil the stew over the fire, and how long did you leave it in the outer pot, before it can be fully stewed and eaten?[/quote]I cook my meat and ingredients in the pot over a fire, then when it's boiling I cook for a little longer before putting into the outer pot. Don't know how long because I usually make it in the late morning or early afternoon and have it for dinner. Haven't made it in a while though. Should make it again.

Happy Mama sounds like she is on a \"soup/stew overdrive\" now that she has a few thermal pots to play around! :siam:
