Thermal pot

Em:

Haha, me the lazy chop chop fast fast type. Got a few thermos thermal cookers. If the food ain't frozen, I'll just make sure the food hits boiling point, boil few minutes, and chuck it into the outer pot. If I'm boiling frozen stuff, then it's boiled for at least 5 -10 min. Think the rationale for boiling 20min is to allow you to eat the food in 2 hours time. Me, I leave the thermal cookers alone for 6 hours if I want tasty soup. So far so good with the soups. Just \"thermaled\" some pork to death today, no other addition, soup's quite yummy Don't think I've boiled any stuff for 20min unless I want the item(s) to cook fast, by which point i'll be using my rice cooker instead.

EM, what brand u using ?

A few more questions


1) The soup taste good ? I mean the taste would be out ?
2) Other than soup, anybody tried curry chicken, braised pork, braised chicken wings ?
3) How about mixed rice, eg. cabbage pork rice, yam pork rice ?

Thanks in advance ! :lol:

I'm a diehard fan of the thermal pot cos I'm a lazy cook.

Our adventures with thermal pot (which has been serving us faithfully for years):
- Chicken Rice
- Braised pork belly
- \"Fried\" rice -> not really fried, we just dump all the fried rice ingredients inside to cook & mix it before we serve
- All sorts of soup
- My boy's porridge/rice
- Macaroni soup

I must ask my maid what else she cooks with the thermal pot.
It's a life saver for my family cos my boy is very active & my maid has to watch him when we are at home.

Thermos for both my mum's place and mine
They were housewarming gifts (of cos the thick-skinned me put it on my list of needed items :p)

Even our hot water flask & portable food flask for my boy are Thermos. Bought them during Thermos warehouse sale. Very good. Can keep water & food hot for very very very long.

daisyt, i’m also using Thermos. Can be used to cook all types of grains, not only rice. Just have to go through a bit of trial and error of gauging how much water to use. So far have never tried any adventurous recipes cos I’m not a fussy eater and my kid has no fussy tastebuds. Eh, man of the house refuses to eat my food HAHAHA!


Your food will definitely be cooked from 7am - 7pm, just gotta remember to heat it up again past 70 deg Celcius for hygiene reasons.

Hi, I’m looking to buy an 8L Tiger brand magic thermal pot. Went to Taka yesterday and they were selling it at $399 with 10% discount if holding a Taka membership card. Is this the market price or can I get it cheaper elsewhere, or should I wait a little longer for other sales? Thanks for your help!!

Going to try claypot later!

I just bought 6L Takahi Thermal pot from OG at $77 after 20% discount.


I’ve tried to cook some herbal and veg soup. It’s very good. The soup can be kept hot for many hours.

Hi… just to share our experience with the thermal pot… they are our life saver… when the nanny went on vacation.


We performed some home-cooked meals with the pots for our daughters. (1+ & 3+).

- Rice with steam fish, broccoli. (remember to put in broccoli later)
- Rice with slightly salted chicken drum.
- Rice with steam tofu egg.
- Rice with minced meat.
- Tomato, carrot, potato soup with vegetable.
- Pork rib, dates, wolfberry soup…

It really minimal clean in the kitchen (unless you forgot to watch the boiling part)… Throw everthing in, boil the main pot for a few mins and leave everything in the termal pot for a few hours… lunch or dinner will be ready…
