I love my Tiger Thermal Pot too. I bought the 8 litre pot & another smaller pot for cooking lesser stuff. You may boil your macaronic/pasta in the smaller pot for a few minutes or max 5 mins then transfer the pot into the thermal pot while it is still boiling & leave inside for another 20 - 30 min (depends on how soft you want the macaroni/pasta to be).


For soups, you may boil a big pot for whole day consumption & left over can be kept overnight in the thermal pot. What I do sometimes is to boil it until boiling hot then transfer into the thermal pot & leave it there till the next morning (yes, it is still hot) & use the left over soup for other purpose or have it as part of lunch.

I used my thermal pot regularly for boiling soup. It just need a short time for cooking and when left in the thermal pot, continue cooking and the soup will become very tasty without having to waste a lot of gas or electricity.


My friend, a working mum, uses it to cook lunch for her kid in the morning and he can have hot lunch after school when he reaches home. Definitely a good buy.

I use mine alot. For cooking soups, porridge, curry, soya sauce pot (lor), stew veg/meat etc. Multipurpose. I use them almost daily.

Hi


Can I ask if the thermal pot can be used to cook porridge, say in the morning, for lunch, and then left in there for night as well? Will the porridge turn too watery?

For those who have experience cooking the soup, does the \"essence\" of the soup comes through, if cook on the stove for a while and then transfered to the thermal,the soup is kept warm or does it really continue cooking on its own?

Sorry if my question sounds idiotic. It is my first exprience with this, and I find it amazing and wonderful, if easy to use, will definitely check it out

thanks in advance

How much is Tiger brand pot?

I use a thermal pot too… and one more reason, other than those given above, is that the soup doesn’t dry up. Sometimes when we use the stove, the soup thicken but lesser… for thermal pots… it doesn’t thicken that way… it continues to cook in its own heat, but because it is covered… it will not dry up. I find that my soups are less oily and more clear when i cook this way.

I love thermal pot!

Ever since I used it think one year ago, besides all the good point metioned above, to me the greatest thing is that I don't need to watch over the fire, cos I can be absence minded on the slow boiling of soup and it is dangerous. I normally cook (meat + ingredients + water) under low fire for a while (15-30 mins) and move the pot into Thermal pot. It allows me to take a power nap without worrying about the fire after that.

One requirement is that the water level must be over the ingredients. The heat retained in the pot will cook the food itself and the soup remain hot.

Also as the soup remain very hot after I placed it in for 4 hours, it tastes yummy by the time my hubby is back from work in evening and he can have ready hot soup rather than heating up the soup again.

Mine is Tiger 6L. I think price increased since last yr, now cost $260 or $280 plus, can't remember the exact price. I bought mine at $224 (after Taka card discount) before the price increased, if I remember correctly.

Do Look out for promo. Taka sometimes have promo for members of further 10%. Can save a lot. The smaller one 4 or 4.5L cost ~ $220. It is a good investment for busy mom. (Note : I am not a Tiger promoter, simply recomm it as I understand how tiring sometimes to prepare a meal).

Another helpful household appliance for busy mom is clothes dryer. :love:
