Good for soup too:)
After using this product for a couple months, I have to say it is one of my favorite appliances! I live in a space where I do not have access to a stovetop or a microwave, so I was looking for a product where I could use it to make rice, soup, ramen, pasta etc. -- basically act as a stovetop -- and this product has far reached my expectations:) A few pros: - It is compact, and as seen in images, completely contains all its accessories so I know that when I go to use it, everything I need for this item is, well, with this item:) -- v. convenient!! - Non-stick coating on the pot makes clean up, as well as pouring liquids out a breeze. - Every section comes apart for easy cleaning. ex. see photo of lid - Buttons/general body of appliance is very easy to wipe clean and hasn't stained despite me spilling tomato soup on it hahah - So good for camping!! I haven't taken it out yet, but given its low power requirement, and compactability, I will definitely be taking this out with my next time I go:) - As a single person looking to cook only 1-2 portions at a time, this appliance is incredible as it is the perfect size, and given the pot heats up so quickly, if I want to serve seconds, reheating my food with this item is very fast. - For making rice specifically, I have never had an issue. It has made me p good sticky rice :) Cons: - The tray that comes with it has holes throughout as seen in images. I wanted a solid base one, but if you throw a layer of tin foil down in the tin, its completely fixes that issue, imo. - Keep warm setting isnt incredible. It is good once you've made your food, and don't want it to explicitly keep cooking, but you plan to eat it soon. But as for setting it to warm and coming back hours later, I find it loses most of the heat. That said, if you flip it back to the soup setting, it warms up so quickly it really isn't an issue for me. Thanks for reading!! P.S - it comes with a plastic spoon, and metal tongs which I forgot to include in the images.
