1. Thermal Cooker Chicken Congee| Souper Diaries

For many Chinese, congee or porridge is the ultimate comfort food. Traditionally, it takes about 1 hour or more to cook congee as you need to stir every now and then until the grains break down to your desired consistency. For this Chinese congee recipe, I only had to cook it on the stove for about 25 minutes.No more constant stirring once it goes into the thermal cooker. The thermal cooker helps the porridge to achieve a smoother texture. I usually make this in the morning and by lunch time, it will be ready. So convenient and less hassle!

5. Thermal Cooker Chicken Stew|Souper Diaries

We often hear and read that a thermal cooker performs best when the inner pot is filled or almost full. Yes, this is true as there would be less air space for heat to escape.

Soft, tender chicken and potatoes in a bed of addictive curry! Did you know that making curries (the wet ones) in a thermal cooker is such a breeze?
