What Others Say
bottom too thin, heat in CI fry pan
I have had Sunpentown Thermal Cooker for 5 years and actually talked to the seller.They had a model with a thick cooking bottom (Now $87 vs $47) but they could not explain the benefit at $10 more then. The outer pot is a big thermos which insulates the inner pots. Unfortunately the bottoms of what you cook with are paper thin so you need to heat them sitting in a CI fry pan.
Useful, but not according to instructions
This thermal cooker has been a very useful piece for me, but probably not as Sunpentown intended. This has been invaluable as an insulated pot for potlucks, yogurt incubator, teakettle substitute, and a milking pail (yes, I milk goats), but not as an alternative to a slow cooker, which is its intended purpose.
When I tried to use the cooker as suggested, which was really difficult considering that the instructions were unclear and translated poorly, the food was underdone. When I cooked food in other containers (this one has a thin bottom) and then used this to keep the food warm, it worked much better. It does hold heat VERY well.
To tell the truth, I bought this, then put it away for a couple of months in disappointment. ... Read More
No good
I'm not sure if it was the company that the item came from or if it was in fact a defect of the brand. I say this because the authenticity of the brand Sunpentown was questionable considering that the packaging was all in a foreign language and the Sunpentown name or logo was no where to be found on the packaging. This item was a gift and when the person pulled the item out of the box (at present opening time on Christmas mind you) the handle of the thermos broke off immediately which doesn't seem very safe since it's supposed to be portable and able to carry hot foods and liquids. I can't imagine what a catastrophe that might of been...blessing in disguise maybe. Needless to say I have since returned the item and I'm awaiting my refund as I type ... Read More
Thermal Pot
We will be serving the local poor and homeless soup and bread in the streets.
Do you have available any larger thermal pots as they seem to be perfectly ideal for our needs.
