Pure awesome
By Elise Liang
My family has a Tiger brand one for many years now and it still works great. So great we bought a smaller Zojirushi one for myself and my boyfriend and I can't say enough about it. I know its expensive but it is well worth it. DO NOT BUY A CHEAP ONE HOPING IT WILL WORK THE SAME!It will keep your meat intact to the bone but tender and since its indirect heat you can add things with different cooking time all together in the thermal and it will still be fine. It cooks everything perfectly. No soggy gross vegetables.I have no idea why this isnt more popular because it saves so much energy which adds up to big $$$$.I will definitely get a bigger one when my family grows but for just the two of us, this pot is a great size.LASTLY its super easy to clean. =)

Instantly one of my top 3 appliances
By LJ
I got this thermal cooker abount a month ago, and I've been using it day and night. I cook a lot of beans and whole grains, and it's perfect for those, but I've also been tremendously pleased with it for Bolognese sauce, Indian curry, chicken soups, beef daube and pot roast, and even steamed puddings like brown bread and carrot cake. It's not just thermal cookers I like, it's this particular one. My first thermal cooker didn't retain heat for nearly as long, and the inner pot was flimsy. In contrast, this is the Cadillac of thermal cookers. The inner pot cooks evenly. The stainless steel throughout always looks nice and cleans easily. Boiling water is still 160 degrees overnight. I find I'm cooking with it just for the fun of it....not even for the next meal. And I can't wait for the next tailgate meal. If you want a superb thermal cooker and you really appreciate high quality, go with this. If these criteria aren't important to you and you just want to cook rice occasionally, go with something cheaper.

Worth Every Penny- After 2 years of use
By Brainnoise
This is an excellent Item, you just bring your food to a boil on the stove then place it into the outer pot and let it cook. It is wonderful in the summer to make any stews so you do not have to heat your whole house keeping things on the stove. And you will never scortch anything because the temp doesn't increase beyond the boiling point once you remove it from the stove... I will be getting the 2 gallon one because I think that the 1.5 gallon will be a bit small for our family of four when the children get older and eat more. We love love love it!*******I have been using my zojiroshi pot now for over 2 years- and its still a wonderful item and I use it at least once a week and definately for anything that requires long simmer times. We're conservative so there's never any need to use that much electricity. I have learned with time that cooking with this pot requires some adjusting. When you cook things on the stove you need to add water because it evaporates. On the thermal cooker- the water you begin with is the water you end up with- so once I got used to that it was cake.I use vinegar to clean it since sometimes the bottom can get dull from cooking.It looks brand new still and we use it once a week.And I certainly will be buying the large one in a couple of years when my boys eat tons more food.I have learned to get proper heating that you bring items to a light boil for 5 or 10 minutes then drop it into the outer pot and you can cook beans from raw hard to fully cooked this way. Somtimes if the beans are old it does require a reheat.Beef stews can get quickly overcooked if you leave it sitting in the pot too long- stews cook in the same amount of time as stovetop or even less...I would give more thant five stars if I could. This is not a cheaply made item and worth every sigle penny.
