Leng Leng, thanks for the info. does the thermal cooker wear and tear? cos the pressure cooker's safety valve tends to give way after a few years of use. also, do you think the brand of thermal cooker affects the quality of cooking? Endo's 7litres going at $79.
I like Peg Perego!! Fell in love with Piki P3.. but in the end bought Capella, cos I cannot handle the Piki P3. too heavy for me...

cactus_79,
my Thermos Thermal,
no wear & tear at all.
Do not wash the outer pot, just wipe.
Yes, I do think brand affects,
some brands's insulation is not good at all,
thus unable to hold heat & can't cook well.

Leng Leng, do you have any feedback about Endo? It's going for a good sale at Isetan. It's the sale on the brand. I forget the discount rate, but think it's close to 50%. It's $79 plus additional 13% discount. Thermos currently going at 33% discount generally, but not sure if they sell Thermal there. I believe they do but didn't notice.

sorry Leng Leng, just one more question. do you think a 2.5litre thermal cooker is a good size (ie. not too large, not too small) for 1 to 2 person's porridge?
Would like to share about Endo's promotion at Isetan Scotts. found out that Endo is a japanese brand.-
350ml Food jar $13 (UP $29.90)
2.5litre thermal cooker $33 (UP $79)
7 litre one touch thermal cooker $79.90 (UP $179.90)
all above prices have further 10% discount only on 12 March, and members have additional 3% discount.

I alone can finish a 3L pot of porridge/soup.
Our 6L thermal contact 2x3L pots.

Leng Leng, sorry for the long string of questions on thermal pots. I've no experience in these things at all.
I understand that there is a minimum and a maximum level to fill in each pot. do you know how much? Is it 50% full as the minimum to cook effectively? what's the maximum then?
Also, if the pot says 2.5litres, or 7 litres, is it the actual inside capacity (the internal metal pot capacity)?
I'm thinking of buying the 7 litres for the family. the 2.5litres for my boy's porridge. I am wondering if 2.5litres is sufficient for 2 meals for my boy - lunch and dinner. I can use the food jar to bring porridge out. But I can cook porridge outside the house! It seems very attractive to me cos my boy does wake up rather early.. 610am every day... so on weekends, we can leave the home with cooking porridge in the boot of the car, then feed my boy lunch outside of the house, and by using the food jar (leave veg puree in the food jar first, then mix in porridg, thereafter, put in different veg puree into the thermal cooker after lunch hour), I can ensure different ingredients for both meals.

soyabean, I was at breakfast with a colleague earlier. she was complaining to me that her #1 and #2's school insists that parents go through homework. there is a box at the end of each worksheet, asking parents to sign if they went through homework with their kids....
these days, parents also return to school when their kids study. tough man...

cactus,
min. I cook is 50%,
mix. up to the brim?
The capacity shown is the actual capacity up to brim of inner pot.
I'll suggest getting a 1-2L pot to cook the porridge,
for my thermos, it's "on-the-go" type.
I can bring my thermos out.
There are many types that are meant to be use for cooking at home.
There's lots of receipes here;

Mine's the 2x3L type.
It's best that you ask the promoter.

Thanks so much for your help, Leng Leng! I'm just going to use my lunch hour next Thursday to go Isetan Scotts. So don't think I have much time to ask the promoter then. I'm going to be such a sight! Dun know how to lug those items to the cashier alone! Gosh. nightmare. don't even want to think about it.

Don't purchase just because there's a sale,
it's best to make your own "research" & make the best out of it.
No use if it's left at home as a white elephant.
You maid may not know how to use it.

Leng Leng, I will definately need it. Don't worry, I'm not buying it cos it's just a sale, although the prices are really attractive. I'm moving in to my home soon, but my kitchen still lacks a pressure cooker. my parents have been using a pressure cooker for the past 20 years now...and I find it very useful.
then I found out about a thermal cooker, and I think it's good to have a thermal cooker too, especially for my bb's porridge, since I can cook it at the back of the car! My maid knows how to use a pressure cooker already. I believe it's easy to teach her how to use a thermal cooker. it's not that difficult, cos pressure cooker has a safety valve that requires training to use.
thermal cooker is simplier!
Cactus,
I'm IMPRESSED that your maid knows how to use pressure cooker but dun know how to use slow cooker. Funny hor?? *scratch head*
Pressure cooker still need to wait for the right pressure b4 removing fr stove but slow cooker only need to set timer then when timer finish can serve already.

Mag, my maid knows how to use pressure cooker cos she had prior experience - the difficulty with it is the safety valve, not to force it open unless the pressure is reduced and to make the lid meet before the pressure lock is applied. The timing of pressure cooking is predetermined by my mom or me. So it's quite easy for the maid to cook with pressure cooker. she only needs to follow instructions.
I believe she knows how to use slow cooker too but I don't want to give her more work than she already has. that's why I cook the porridge for Matthew before I go to work. But things will change after I get the thermal cooker. hehe! I'll start the cooking process, but she'll have to dish out the porridge for Matthew during the day!

Travis' walker also out of this world one leh. Unique somemore. I'm so impressed wif your dad & crystal's FIL that they can do so many things out of love unlike some stories which I've heard fr my PILs abt their market frens who r complaining that looking after their grandchildren is such a chore for them that it's as if they r holding a fulltime job. Sad hor? I think u & crystal should appreciate the grandpas more.

yes the grands are v doting on the little ones. some people may find the bbs a bit "tie hands tie legs" lor.
my FIL was v badly injured in an accident a mth before i gave birth, now got slight difficulty in walking.. but he still comes to my hse to visit his lil gem every now n then. and says taking him for strolls and helping to "shake" him in his sarong are good physiotherapy! hahaha

ioio, slow cooker is very convenient, I have to agree! I'm just very attracted to thermal cooker now.. cos can cook on the go! it's really an exciting thought! I can bring Matthew to picnic at the beach now or to friends' homes and not worry about food. I can even bring warm foods to pot luck parties too! No need to trouble the host to warm up my food in her kitchen since she'd be so overwhelmed already by the arrival of her guests. I'm throughly sold on the idea of thermal cooker.
<font color="blue">wah bleh n crystal, i envy leh..my stroller also passed down..but too bad lah..my family got engineers but useless 1..dat's me!! haha..not creative n not innovative..

the cost of the bash will be divided equally depending on the no of kids dat turn up..currently we are looking at the package for 20 kids which cost $620 for non members..any additional kid will be charged @ $10 each.. so if we hv more than 20 kids..i will juz use the total amt charged n divide among the no of kids that are present.. </font>
