Along the lines of a crockpot, this stainless-steel insulated cooking pot continues cooking soups and stews after an initial quick cooking period, and then it keeps the food warm. For example, to make chicken soup with garlic: fill the inner glass-topped pot (which holds up to 4.5 liters) with chicken pieces, garlic, water, and veggies; bring to a boil; boil for five minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and seal it into the insulated container. Leave for two hours and then enjoy. This is also a terrific way to make sticky white rice. --Dana Van Nest

Perfect size for a three to four person family. The high setting heats up quickly but if used as many recipes describe for the duration of the cook time, it seems to dry out the food too much. Recommend the lower setting for cook times in the 5 to 6 hour range.
Would still recommend this product after using it for several weeks now.
