This is an update of my previous post. As I stated earlier the Shuttle Chef 3&3 was just too big for our needs, although it would work well for a family of 4 or more IMHO.
I ordered the 4.5 l Shuttle Chef from
www.forumappliances.com . At the current exchange rate it is $159.00 USD plus approx. $29.50 USD shipping.
I planned on ordering from Allan Rush at the
www.thermalcookware.com website since I get alot of ideas for using my cooker there, but the shipping makes it prohibitive. I can't afford to support the seller when I added the higher price for the cooker plus extremely high shipping cost from AU to the US. I did order the Bain Marie pan for the cooker and the new lidded loaf pan. Allan offers terrific accessories that I have not been able to find anywhere else.
I like the idea of the latches for the cake pan and loaf pan so if I hit a bad bump in the road my pan won't end up filled with water ruining my dinner.
I will post more on the out come of my recipes with new cooker in November. I will be off work for 4 - 6 wks which will give me lots of time to try out the new setup, although I could think of better reasons to be off from work besides surgery. I plan on trying cooking 2 separate items with the bain marie insert, baking breads, cakes, meatloaf etc. The recipes for mulled wine on Allan's sound really delish, but I will have to hold off on the alcohol for a while.
I know several other forum members have purchased thermal cookers. I would enjoy hearing your experiences with the cooker and getting different ideas from you.
Happy trails, 'shaker
