(More customer reviews)This little jewel is fabulous!! It is my number 2 machine. The number 1 is my microwave!! I was so hesitant about buying a stirring pot, but with my lifestyle it is now permanently on the top of the counter. I'm a farm wife. My husband can come home for supper/dinner at any time between 6PM and 1AM. I don't usually begin cooking until I see the whites of his eyes because food can be soooo unappealing when it has set for hours. Enter the stir pan. I can begin food at any reasonable time--say 5:20 PM. Then I can put it on low and let it stir anytime the heating element begins. This keeps the food warm. Then later, I can add more ingredients. Then if it finishes before he gets home, I can put it on warm again to hold the food with the stirring again on whenever the heating element turns on. I cooked taco meat over the course of 5 hours and it was perfect when I actually served it. Then another favorite of his--chipped beef and gravy over biscuits. The stir pan made excellent gravy, kept it warm, and when he showed up, all it took was a quick temperature adjustment to get the gravy pipping hot. That was one happy man. He thinks I'm nuts to use it all the time, but then he farms, I cook. He's happy about what comes out of it.
I took the little metal filter out of its little place in the lid because I didn't want to mess with cleaning it. My pot came with an extra handle that is long, so it could be a long handled pot. I thought I might like that better, but so far it works fine with two little ear handles. The lid goes in the dishwasher just fine.
I cooked fried potatoes. I kinda big cubed them, put it a little olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and turned on the auto stir. The potatoes tumbled, cooked, tumbled some more. Then they had to be put on warm to hold. Oh, they were tasty and perfect. Cook, hold, serve time--three hours. Normally, they would have been grease soaked disasters. Did it take three hours to actually cook them--of course not, it took that long for farmer guy to get home.
I LOVE not having to babysit food. I can go about other duties and let the stir pot take care of it. And it goes so very low that you can melt chocolate!! Make your own chocolate covered peanuts!
Remember actual homemade cooked pudding? Yup! This is your pan for that. Remember not being tied to stirring something over a hot stove? Course not--you didn't have one of these. Macaroni and cheese? Yup. Wisconsin cheese soup? Yup. No watching. Hours later, turn the heat up, auto stir, and serve in minutes!
It washes like a dream. Nothing sticks to it yet. It does have a non-stick coating that may become scratched so be careful.
I don't know why, but it doesn't seem to get a burned on film on the bottom. I don't care why, but I'm very grateful.
Get this little sucker and play with it. You wont' be disappointed.
The combination of adjustable heat and adjustable stirring is perfect.
I suppose only an idiot would start the thing and leave home, but you can sit and read a book, while this thing is doing your work. It is like a mini vacation where I can let my cares slide away.
