Very very happy with this unit, which has multiple uses. When I get in the world, I put on the road the night before any hotpot and presto! after entering what should be entered (like on a stove!), it simmers for hours, meat (gentle simmer) or vegetables (high simmer). The next day, on the way it is put back to heat and simmer it goes fast (if it's not going fast enough, put the '' enter '' but beware, it goes fast in temperature!) In short, I received a tribe for 15 days with 5 kids eating like 10 and without this device, it was I who was fired! But I also use it when I'm alone, no problem. And it also steamer! Finally, I said that the result is succulent, because the simmer temperature remains low. Whether the meat to simmer / braising or vegetables. Another advantage: the so-called savings are made because even '' low-pieces '' become a treat.
