I first discovered thermal cookers on this forum after we got our AS. I don't like the idea of leaving a slow cooker plugged in and hoping it will be stable when we are traveling, so the thermal cooker is a great solution.
I also am not a big fan of overcooked veggies that the slow cooker produces.
I ended up ordering from
www.forumappliances.com since they offer the Shuttle Chef 3&3 Model. Shuttle Chef is the European name for Thermos Nissan cookers. A 1.5 l cooker is also available. These units are not available in the U.S.
I thought I would post a link to a site that has some terrific accessories for the 4.5 L Thermos Nissan (aka Shuttle Chef) cooker that I think some of the forum members have. It is
www.thermalcookware.com.
They carry an accessory pack that has a carrying bag, steamer, and smaller inner pot that will stack on the 4.5l inner pot. This creates the ability to cook 2 items separately or to cook a smaller amount by filling the 4.5l pot partially with boiling water then inserting the placing the smaller pot on top.
The steamer will stack on top of the 4.5 l inner pot for steaming veggies separate from the main meal.
Thermalcookware offers other accesories to make the cooker more versatile. The site also has recipes, newsletter, and demo videos on using the thermal cooker.
FWIW
