Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zojirushi SNAE-B45 4.77 Quart Stainless Thermal Cooking Pot
Customer Review: Energy-saving kitchen tool
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this cooking pot as one more way to reduce the fuel I consume for cooking, and I have been very pleased with it. My first impression when it arrived was that it was well designed and made from top quality materials. There are less expensive versions available, but you get what you pay for. I eagerly read through the accompanying recipe booklet but found most of their (few) instructions not very relevant for what I had in mind. It was time to start experimenting, and now, after a couple of months, I am still discovering new ways to use this pot.
I started with rice, and admittedly, my first attempts were not very satisfactory. Their instructions for white rice specify boiling for only 2 minutes on the stove before transferring the pot to the thermal jacket. I have gotten much better results, for both white and brown rice, by boiling for about 1/3 of the usual cooking time, then letting it continue cooking in the thermal jacket for the rest of the time. With some other grains, this pot gets better results than normal stove-top cooking. For example, it works great for kasha (toasted buckwheat) and there you can transfer to the thermal jacket as soon as the kasha is boiling. For polenta, I cooked it on the stove until it started to thicken...and the final result was wonderfully creamy. It has also worked very well for numerous soups. By cutting the quick cooking veggies into larger chunks, the slower cooking ones into thinner slices, everything ends up nicely cooked. As others have also commented, it is an effective way to keep food warm for hours, when needed.
I imagine that every cook will use this tool a bit differently, depending on the foods they cook, as well as their schedule. Most importantly, every cook can decrease their cooking fuel consumption with this simple, long-lasting "appliance."
Description of Zojirushi SNAE-B45 4.77 Quart Stainless Thermal Cooking Pot
An energy saving, healthful way to cook. An inner pot is used to bring foods to a boil. Complete the preparation process by placing the inner pot in the vacuum insulated outer container and seal until cooked. Capacity: 4.77 quart / 4.5 litters. Heat Retention: After 6 hours - 156.2F. Color: Stainless Steel.Along the lines of a crockpot, this stainless-steel insulated cooking pot continues cooking soups and stews after an initial quick cooking period, and then it keeps the food warm. For example, to make chicken soup with garlic: fill the inner glass-topped pot (which holds up to 4.5 liters) with chicken pieces, garlic, water, and veggies; bring to a boil; boil for five minutes, then remove the pot from the heat and seal it into the insulated container. Leave for two hours and then enjoy. This is also a terrific way to make sticky white rice. --Dana Van Nest
