Can you cook in the pot or just warm food up?

Just warm up and you wouldn't want to start with cold food or it takes at least 30 minutes to get it warm.

Probably just warm up the food but it does get things really hot. In fact, I had to turn it off otherwise it would scorch the food.

It's tiny, not sure what you would cook. Also keep in mind there's NO adjustable heat setting.

I use one this size to cook steel cut oats in overnight. It works great for 1-2 servings!

The pot is small. I believe it is intended to warm. I have used it for sauces, oatmeal, side of meatballs - nothing that could serve more than 2 people.

Yes, you can. I have cooked everything from rice to fresh vegetables in mine. I absolutely love mine.

Yes, you can put the pot in the microwave, oven, or just about any place. Best wishes.

yes to both questions. the only downside is that it doesn't have a warming feature like my larger crockpot.

There is no cooking involved. Just add water and stir. Some of the things take a few minutes to set up.

sure, you can. I preheat the pot on medium heat and cook meat for a few minutes with the cover off to brown.

you can cook on electric stove as regular pot, and yes, u can cook two separate meals at once. Also u can also use as keeping the food hot or cook on the table with table-top-gas-stove as well (as you may try Hot-Pot or Shabu Shabu)

Hi. I haven't try it yet. But i did put a cooking pot inside . Its safe though. I actually love it. The food will be cooked so quickly and so delicious. I hope this answer will help. Regard

I would say just a warmer - it says to only put things in it that are already cooked.

You can heat water in the warmer without a pan. So you can use it like a sous vide. But if you cook anything directly in the warmer it would be too difficult to clean

Hello, Depending on what to are cooking, you can cover the food or not. Cooking in a pot, you can cover it or not. Baking foods of course doesn't require covering. Many containers are available from the Sun Oven company or other sources. Also, the Sun Oven is a great product for daily use or emergencies. Cook food or boil water. Good luck, Denis - PrepareDirect

I just use it to reheat food. I don't believe you're supposed to cook in it. It is different from a slow cooker.

Yes but, not as hot as what is cooking. Low heat = warm to the touch. Med/High = hot

I don't know as I've never tried to make hot soup but it answers that question in the recipe book that comes with the mixer, I think. One recipe I saw says to mix the ingredients after cooking until the veggies are tender in small batches and transferring to another pot.

Use this as you would any other pan - on stovetop or in the oven...be sure you have enough liquid in it so it doesnot catch and burn on the bottom. This is not a very heavy pan, so I use it like any regular pot. No special temperature considerations.

In the microwave? I suppose so. I put leftover soup or spaghetti in a small one to reheat for lunch. Personally I prefer to make the soup on a stove top so the flavors have more time to blend, but if you were making something simple, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

The printed materials accompanying this product are at the bare minimum. However, you can just load the pot with your ingredients and press the button that says "soup" (or rice, or...). We mostly make porridge and rice. Any standard pressure-cooker recipe will work, as you can select how long to cook on the front panel and then the cooker heats up and cooks quietly until the food is done.
