Hello! Can I ask for some advice? I tried to use the thermal pot to cook rice a few weeks back, and it was disastrous… I usually cook brown rice, and I used the same method as I cook soup… I cook in the morning, put into the pot, and when I got home in the evening… the rice was awful…


Has anyone tried cooking rice before, can you teach me? thanks!!

Yes, cooked in 1.5L thermos and 1L insert onto 4.5L thermos.
All ok.
Water must not be the same amount as in preparing in cooker rice.

Boiled 10 mins and put into outer pot? can I keep it till evening or how long before the rice is totally cooked?

thanks!

As I used 1.5L thermos pot to cook 1 cup or less rice, by evening rice is cold.

Since then I prepare it on top pot 1L on my 4.5L pot w soup in, rice still warm when serve around 8pm.

This is the insert I bought from. It fit well on 4.5L thermos brand.

Not much to save actually. I used it to porridge and half boil egg for my gal.

For a family of 2 adults and 2 young kids, what would be a good size to get? Would use the thermal pot for soup and lor bah type of dishes.
