Thermal pot

[cherrygal]

The reason is becoz you need to fill at least more than half of the pot to maintain the heat. Too little soup in the pot is the culprit. Make sure you boil for at least 20mins. Not the brand I think. Endo, La Gourmet etc all work just as well as Tiger or Zojirushi. Just boil more and keep for the next day.

The little pot from thermos works really well with small quantities. It’s tiny and you can get it for $80 or so when there’s special offer. I use it to make stews and soup for two ppl…

which brand to buy is good enough to bring some hot noodles / rice lunch for a kindergarten child ? where to buy ? Thanks for recommending.

For one-pot dishes, Thermos and Tiger both make stainless steel wide mouthed food jars. Cost quite a bit but they retain heat quite well and fairly easy to clean

[cherrygal]

To bring to kindergarten, just buy the Endo brand. Isetan has the household sales (not sure if still on) and it was only S$12. Good enough to retain heat for >3 hours.

hv to make sure the noodles doesn’t turn soggy inside the thermal pot.

I am deciding between a thermal pot and a pressure cooker, can someone advice. Also, if i already have a slow cooker, do you think it is still necessary to get a thermal pot?


Do you use thermal pot to make broth/soup stock ?

[Shoe]

Pressure cooker serves a different function… It’s great for making soups and stews in a short amount of time. E.g. Spaghetti sauce tastes like it’s been cooking along time after just 25 mins or less…


Slow cooker similar in function to thermal pots but 'cos thermal pots continue cooking without a power source, they save energy and also, if you have picnics, potlucks etc, cooking continues when you’re on your way to the venue…

Hi everyone,


I've just started to use the Thermal Pot for cooking.

Been baffled by the Upper Shallow inner pot that sits on top of the
main big inner pot...

How do i cook with it?
Can I use it alone or must be with the main big inner pot together?

Thanks for any advise
