TianJi Slow Cooker Digital Multi-Functional Rice Cooker Programmable Cooker Purple Clay Stew Pot Healthy Soup Cooker DGD40-40SWD,4L

We originally bought this clay stew pot slow cooker to improve the taste of the soup, rice porridge. The clay stew pot can better release the nutrition and enhance the freshness of the meat, veggie as compare to using a stainless steel pot.The cooker is easy to use and clean. It functions several programs enabling us to make different kinds of cuisine. It is uniquely convenient for working couples like us. We just need to put the food in the clay pot in the morning and set the timer. The slow cooker would make us a warm and tasty cuisine for our dinner.

In around one year ,this Is my second order, the inner pot is easy to be broken,and inner pot is very heavy!but it help you make good soup!so I really hope seller sell pot individually!

We love Asian food so we cook a lot at home. With Asian food, there are a lot of slow cooking with beef stew & etc. Also there are a lot of different kind of soups recipes as well so this is a perfect slow cooker for all the soup making. It is very easy to use and we are enjoying all the different soups and different food we've cooked with this new slow cooker we bought. Great purchase indeed.

I used it for less than 5 times and last night, set it to cook peanut soup; this morning, still cold. Tried different cooking modes, cold all the time; no heat. It is broken ; after less than 5 times of use....Really 😶

This clay stew pot remains the flavor of food, which gives you better a better coup than the ones made by slow cooker. I used this pot almost every other day. It is easy to use. You just push one button, and wait! I really like it!

I had high hopes for this electric pot, but I am disappointed in it so far. Reading through all the reviews, I came upon one user who pointed out that the cheap plastic pressure relief caps they supply spew out the most toxic compounds, and not even passively, but right there at the point where hot steam leaves the pot. I quickly removed the offending articles, and replaced them with loose wads of cotton that would still let steam escape. Strike One.Next, I thought to test the unit with a small batch of rice. I have the unfortunate and foolish habit of actually reading instruction manuals. If I had simply acted like most people and said, “Sure; I get it; you just put the water and rice in the pot and turn it on,” then everything would have been fine; but, like the idiot I am, I had to read the instruction manual and follow it very closely. Most of the information is in Chinese, but the simple English translation of the instructions seemed to me to be clear and simple. “Add a cup of rice with the attached measuring cup to the product.” The unmarked scoop looked a bit skimpy to me, so I measured it – it was less than ¾ of a cup (11/16). Not even worth another Strike, if you use the same measure for both water and rice.“It is recommended that you add water according to the ratio in the following table.” I studied the table very carefully. In spite of the very Chinese way of arranging a table, there seemed to be no other way of reading it other than for one cup of rice to use one cup of water. Yes, I have made rice before using the ratio of 2 to 1, so if I had just gone ahead and done it, I would have gotten it right. But no; I wasn’t even thinking about that; there I was carefully studying the instructions and following them carefully. As any alert ten year old could easily have assured me, of course the rice experienced that “dry burn” which is at all costs to be avoided. I was lucky the unit wasn’t ruined – I was able to clean it out, but all those Chinese English language translators should be shot at dawn. (Here’s an idea – those Chinese manufacturers should hire Japanese translators. I have noticed that most Japanese tourists seem to speak far better English than most Americans.) Anyway, there goes the second Strike.On the following day I decided to try something very simple – a long, slow cook of a bean soup. There are many functions available on the unit, but most of them are sub-headings under the main choice of “Fast Stew” or “Slow Stew.” That seems simple enough – a high temperature for a quick cook, and a lower temperature for a slow cook. The reason I was shopping for a new cooker in the first place was that my old Crock Pot only had two temperatures – High and Low. At the Low setting it would still keep an active simmering boil, but there was no Keep Warm setting. So I never imagined anything else other than that the “Slow Stew” must mean a lower temperature. If that isn’t the way it is designed, it should be. However, I discovered that, an hour and a half into the cook, the pot was in a furious boil, on its way to cooking out the water again. Well, I caught it in time and was able to reduce it to a Keep Warm setting, timed for another two hours. What? No way to make a long, slow cook? Most raw foods taste better with a slow cook, and it’s just a matter of starting early enough. So, perhaps I could get used to this machine, and set a pot of beans to cook for One Hour; at which time it would revert to the Keep Warm setting. After three more hours “keeping warm,” the beans would probably finish cooking. Who knows? Maybe that would even be a better way to do it, after all, but I wish they either had a slow temperature cook, or clear instructions in any other case. Third Strike.I have yet to even consider the effect of the clay material on the taste and nutritional value of the food I’m cooking, but that’s been the whole point of this thing all along. There are plenty of cookers on the market with fancy timers and fancy temperature controls, but I don’t want a metal pot, or a ceramic pot with lead in the glaze. If I can figure out how to use this device, I may yet be happy with it.

Very good. That was I looking for cook the soup.

A very useful electric saucepan that is very good for soups.

Wish to rate zero star if I can, purchased cooker from amazon.ca but received used defective item in very old and thin paper box with no company info nor user manual, please be aware to stay away from this company and never waste time and money again with such a disappointment
