Kitchen-Free Cooking? Testing an Electric Cooker!

When I check product reviews I always look for lowest ratings first. If there are plenty of those I don't bother with high ratings. Doing this has served me well.

[@RollingxBigshot]

Nah some of those low ratings be from incompetent people, there was one for a cheap PlayStation compatible controller for $20 and the 1* reviewer was complaining that it wasn’t the official PlayStation controller because it didn’t have any of the PlayStation logos.

[@Yenneffer]

@@RollingxBigshot Yeah the 1-star reviews are not always all that useful. More often than not it's something like "product arrived broken", which is more on the seller than the item itself. I like to check the mid-range reviews, these tend to be a bit more balanced lol.

[@frankb5728]

I stick to the 2/3 stars because they usually tell the whole story. 1 star reviews are either people who made a mistake and put 1 star instead of 4/5, ordered the wrong item and blame it for their failings or are just plain stupid. There's always an exception but I usually don't look at the extremes first

This is a pretty common thing in Asia where a lot of students will have one the same way people out west will typically have a hotplate for their dorm rooms, and it's mostly only really for soup or instant noodles, oatmeals or congee, and reheating leftovers with a splash of water on the bottom before you toss in the food.

[@TeaBurn]

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense than having this thing. I rather have an inexpensive electric single hot plate and a separate pot or pan that I can easily wash or swap out if something happens to it. Easier to repair or replace the hot plate too. I imagine the coating will wear out on this thing, and then you'd be stuck with an even worse piece of e-waste.

Anyone that has this or a pot like this, just put the egg in as it is preheating. It would cook as it gets to temp. Or make the breakfast meat then turn it off and cook it as it is cooling off.

Yes! This was my exact thought. Eggs cook pretty quickly so there should be plenty of time to cook it during the cool down period (assuming the preheat goes too quickly)

[@pennytrui1149]

Same I have an electric coil top single burner and it gets hot. Like I put it to 2 and it almost burns my eggs. so as soon as it starts heating throw your egg in if you wait until it's fully preheated you're gonna burn the eggs.

[@mfo7611]

I have this and just turn it on and off when I cook eggs sometimes. but honestly, you can put it on high, throw the egg in and just move it around a bit. Works fine.

[@candyman111881]

that works! 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kritsadventures]

My thought was to get it up to heat, turn it off and then drop an egg in when it hits around 300, then let it cook for a minute until it starts to cool, turn it on again when it hits 200 and get it back up to 300. Then it should be good to flip, you can trim it back off, let it cool to 200 as it cooks, then turn it back on to get it to 300 and by that point it should be done and ready. Key is just to back off and turn it off when it gets too hot, turn it back on when the food has absorbed the heat during cooking. A little finicky obviously, but if this is all you have to cook on, you can definitely manage it

I’ve had an electric kettle for more than 30 years and can do what this mini pot can and so much more! And it’s still available, now in 2 sizes - the one I have and a much larger one! My stove, microwave died over a year ago and I’ve had to learn a different way of cooking. I’d like to see James do reviews on Induction portables. I’ve been using mine for quite some time (even before the death of most of my kitchen) and I prefer it to a regular electric stove (can’t get gas).

When we first moved into the house, it had a glass-top electric. Absolutely hated that cooktop. We replaced it with an induction cooktop (not a portable) and that solved my problem. While I miss my gas stove in my old house, induction is more environmentally friendly and it works quite well. I've heard that some of the induction portables are good, others are underpowered.

I got the larger version of this, by Dezin as well. It's more of a pot shape and came with a steaming basket and is stainless steel, instead of non-stick. The settngs are 200W and 600W. 600W is perfect for getting water going for noodles, then turn down to 200W once you add them. Plus the steaming basket is perfect for frozen vegetables for ramen (my main use scenario of the pot). The main reason I went with this one is it's very large size, 1.6L, it's perfect for two packs of ramen and an egg added to the water.

Always sear the fat cap of your steak first as it renders some of it out and lets you cook the meat in the steak's fat. Sometimes you don't even need to add oil if the fat renders well enough. Also makes the fat cap nice and crisp which is more tasty.

I have two of these pots and I love them. It appeared as if you inttentionally made the eggs fail. I cook eggs in my pots all the time and they do a good job. I prefer soft scrambled eggs or French scrambled eggs. To prevent overheating the eggs, the heat must be stopped early then allow the eggs to finish cooking on the residual heat. Fried eggs are not a problem for me, but I use a bit of non-stick spray. I stop the heat early, slide my eggs around and my eggs slide out easily. Like any new cooking device, there's a learning curve. I ruined multiple eggs and other foods on my induction stove when I started using it. I also overcooked my eggs in this pan the first several times that I used it. Neither of my pots will pop popcorn well but I I like unpopped kernels so I have no big complaints.

For the egg test would it not make sense to turn it on low and then turn it off after a little bit before putting the egg in? Sort of like how with a fire burner you can preheat the pan quick then turn off the heat and let the eggs cook on the pan and the residual heat will be hot enough to cook the egg. You even did that when making the burger kinda. You turned off the heat on the second side cooking. Just heat it up for a little while and turn off the heat. wouldn't that work?

With all the electronics that you use at that table that don't have an On / Off switch have you considered mounting a power bar to the table so you can quickly cut power to a device without having to pull the power cord?

As someone who doesn't have access to a kitchen, I love my hot pot (TopWit with steamer from Amazon) and electric skillet (Presto).

In 1978 bought a 1000 watt hotplate for my dorm room, could boil water, pop popcorn or cook anything with it. Since it was American made 😮, still working perfectly 45 years later.

Loved the extra spin on the review with backyard bites I laughed so hard. Glad the wildlife didn’t attack cowboy jimmy. 😂😂😂

The best appliance you can get for dorm/ apartment cooking is an induction cooker. This is for fire safety, the amount of power it provides, simmer/ slow cooker control, and versatility of using several types of pots/ kettles with a single device. Nothing else comes close. The only reason you'd use a hotplate when induction cookers exist is it is more lightweight if you need a device you can throw in your suitcase. Furthermore if space is a premium, get a microwave with air fryer/ convection features.

I have a really old set of pans that work like these do, the stay in the camp and I love them

WHen i buy things from amazon, I always read the two or three star reviews. They seem the most accurate

A good place for a device like this one (perhaps a version with an added lower temp setting option) would be on a car camping or road trip in an EV with a full 120V/15A power outlet in it. Pair that up with a mini refrigerator and you’d have a pretty minimalistic mobile kitchen, without the need for packing a stove and fuel.
