You bring your ingredients to a boil on the stove in the inner stainless steel pot, then transfer that pot into the vacuum-insulated outer container. The container traps the heat, allowing the food to continue simmering gently without any further energy source, effectively cooking the meal through retained heat.

The 4.3L capacity is generally suitable for a family of three to four people. It is well-sized for standard batches of soups, stews, curries, or braised meats, though you should consider your typical portion sizes if you frequently cook for larger groups.

Yes, the inner stainless steel pot is designed to be used directly on gas, electric, and induction stovetops to bring your food to the initial boil before transferring it to the thermal outer shell.

It absolutely cooks through. Because the vacuum insulation is so efficient, the internal temperature stays high enough for long enough to fully cook ingredients like root vegetables, grains, and meats, similar to a slow cooker but without the electricity usage.

The vacuum insulation is highly effective and can keep food at safe, hot serving temperatures for several hours. While exact times depend on the initial temperature and the volume of food inside, you can typically expect it to remain hot for up to 6 to 8 hours.

Yes, the stainless steel inner pot is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. However, the outer insulated container should only be wiped down with a damp cloth and never submerged in water, as this could damage the vacuum seal.
