Product Description
Just 10 minutes on the stove, leave for work or play and return home to a delicious meal. Thermal cooker saves energy costs and preparation time. Simply place the ingredients in the inner pot, cover lid and bring to a boil on your stove (approx. 10 minutes). When brought to a boil, remove from stove and place in outer thermal pot. Thermal technology creates a convection effect by using the steam produced inside to circulate and continue cooking for up to 30 minutes and warms for up to 8 hours. Food is cooked in its own moisture and steam, so nutrients are preserved. Compared to a pressure cooker, thermal cooker is 30% more energy efficient.Features and Functions:6 liters capacityPortableNon-electricEnergy efficientStainless steel inner and outer potContinues to cook for 10 ~ 30 minutes after heatingKeeps cold or warm for up to 8 hours

 bottom too thin, heat in CI fry pan September 2, 2008
I have had this product 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 May 13, 2007

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. Then I started using it for potlucks, and suddenly came up with more uses. I made tea and kept it hot for hours. I used it to incubate yogurt. It became a great ice cube holder at parties. I'd like to see how it cooks rice. Hmmm . . .
Again, it's very useful for me, but not for the purpose for which it was created. I do feel like I've gotten my money's worth, however.
 No good January 9, 2007

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 this. =(

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.
Thank you
