Can I cook 2 leftovers in it at once on electric stove or is this more for keeping food hot that has been cooked in other pots?

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)

I've had no problems; however, I have a glass top electric stove and the elements are quite large. A friend who has a regular sized gas stove found that she had to keep her eye on meats and do a lot of moving around to get even browning. In the long run, she felt it was worth the extra effort to use only one pot.

I use this ALL the time. Sure this does the same as regular pot and pans, plus will slow cook, but you are only using "one" pan. It sautes and sears, then simmers to blend flavord, then turn to slow cook and go on with other tasks. Lastly, you can set it on Buffet and it will keep the food perfectly warm without overcooking it. Try it, you will love it....

This is a flame protector for pans with thin bottoms..to save from scortching. In my opinion..a double boiler is still the best way for cream soups or reheating mac and cheese. For instance this is good for rice or oatmeal.

We use this for soup all the time. I just use a laddle to serve it straight from the skillet. Cooks it fast and efficient. All can be done in one pot.

I have used it primarily to keep food warm. I have cooked a few soups in it that only took a few hours. The individual pots have a gap to let you put the lids on and have a serving utensils in the unit so using it to cook lets a lot of steam out.

I put both pots in which I have cooked (e.g. for soups or stews), and serving dishes for vegetables and meats etc. I find it very useful, as virtually all the surface of the appliance is at the same temperature - no cold spots.

I am able to cook meals for 2 mostly. I follow recipes and cut the serving sizes in half and I still end up with leftovers. I'd say you can cook meals for up to 4-5 people but its not too big for cooking for one person with leftovers.

I would not put this on an electric stove. I would boil water and add it to the tea pot.

Yes, the inner pot is designed to be heated up by either gas or electric stove. and put it into outer pot. Never heat up the external pot.

Well, I'd say it depends on what you are making, how big you like your portions, and whether you want leftovers. I use it mostly for 1 large portion or 2 small portions of things like corn beef, pork roast, and such, with no leftovers.

I've only used mine twice and am not happy with it. My house is old with old wiring. Cannot use at same time as microwave or I throw a breaker. Otherwise, it seems to be efficient for cooking, power wise.

I have stored leftovers in the refrigerator in the pot used to cook it in several times, and have never had any problems with the food or the cookware afterward.

Yes you can. It has a very thick base which holds the heat in. You need very little electricity in order to heat it up. Lower the temp quickly because electric stoves sometimes need time to cool down

Yes you can cook in the 2 separate small pans and then put a little water in the large one and put them in it or you can cook in other dishes and just put it in them once it;s cooked. I use these for an outside wedding and they are great! If your gentle with them you can reuse them!

I think the company that made the stove is the one to answer your question ..as you can or can not put in your stove, use the pot on gas and electric stoves and my food is tasty good, I am happy with my pot I recommend it

Only for keeping food hot after being cooked - put HOT water in dish to warm it up, then put cooked, hot food into it. I use it to take casseroles, veg., meat and gravy, etc. to church functions, shut-ins, people who have had surgery, etc. Very good to have. keeps food very hot for a couple hours; warm for 3-4 hours.
