Will it keep mashed potatoes hot?

If you follow directions to heat the pad and potatoes are hot when placed in carrier atop the heated pad the potatoes will stay as warm as you would eat them at a restaurant...

Make sure the potatoes are piping hot when you place them in the carrier with the heated insert. As long as you're going to use them within an hour or two, you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well the carrier functions.

I use my Kitchen-aid for mashed potatoes all the time. They come out excellent!

Sure, it will work great. You could add a tbls of milk too to make potatoes looser. If it were me I would mix the milk and cream powder before adding to potatoes so you don't overmix the potatoes. Overmixing would be a big mistake and a common one.

The banjo will not, at least not that I have found...the jet burner needs to be on fairly heavy otherwise it will leave soot. Tried to keep a small kettle on warm with it and it blackened it. The banjo probably would too, just don't use them on low. It is a great cooker, will hold a VERY heavy kettle and heat up quickly.

Probably not any meat which might touch the oven sides or top, so measure twice, cook once! Wide cookie sheets will block the convection. Remember, the turntable wants to turn the food for even heating. Baking potatoes seem to take a lot longer on convection. Nuking them just steams the inside.. very unsatisfactory. Experiment first, company later.

If I recall the bottom of those grills don't get that hot... The plastic on this table is very strong.. I would bet it would withstand the typical heat from a gas stove like a Colman heater!

I've only used it for cold drinks. It's heavy stainless steel so would assume it would keep hot too.

It gets very hot. Matter of fact it got so hot the first time I used it I burned the dinner I was making! I have owned several slow cookers and never had that problem! So to answer your question...Yes! I very much so believe it will simmer for makin sauces, soups, etc. Very nice slow cooker. Just a word of advice...because of the stainless steel on the outside it gets extremely hot so make sure you or nobody touches while cooking!

No. It might keep it warm?? If you melt it before you put it in the device.

I doubt it very much. It is much to small for that and I don't think it will get hot enough to cook anything, even slowly. It's just to keep small amounts of dips or fondue warm.

Yes, but I mainly use it for hot. Items have stayed hot for me for over 45 min.

I think it might be a little small for mashed potato packets. I use it for gravy packages and powdered soup mix, dip mixes, etc. If there is a size up from this one, you might do a little better. You could probably fit one or two larger packets of mashed potatoes, but that would probably be it.

Not in my case, never a problem. I have used it to rotisserie roasts for hours, got warm, but not hot.

They are pretty big & I have used them with mashed potatoes, so I would say yes.

It should heat up and hold heat like the wok. However the sides are not as high so it would be harder to keep everything in the pan when doing a stirfry.

Re Moe&Company; response, YES, that is exactly right! I have some very expensive pots that have been damaged with beaters! Now, I cook my potatoes in one of my stainless steel pots, so I can mash them in it with no problem!

I'm not sure, possibly. I've only ever heated cooked foods in it. The hot plate gets pretty hot, I'm just not sure it would get hot enough for that.
