Great product. I used it twice since I got it, one for soup and the other for curry. Both times they're amazing.
The first meal I made with the Shuttle Chef was curry. In the past when I make curry I have to cut the potatoes in huge pieces because by the time the food is cooked the potatoes lost half of their size by constant boiling. But with the Shuttle Chef all pieces retain their shape but still being cooked to perfection. That's because the inner pot was on the stove for only 20 mins, and the outer vacuum insulated pot kept the food at the same temp for the 6 hours I was away, all without additional heat and movement.
At this price it might sound expensive, but think about all the gas/electricity you can save in a long run, not the mention the convenience. A 4-hour cooking only takes 20-30 minutes on stove and you can walk away, sleep or drive to your friends' house and the food will be cooked and ready to serve.

Usually a pot of rice (my brown rice cooks up perfectly in it!) and a pot of vegetable stew or beans or lentils with vegetables--it works with all my recipes. I heat it on the stove and then pack it in the thermal container. A few hours later, it's hot and ready to eat--so it's great on the road. But I don't only use it on road trips, I also use it at home. Instead of cooking on the stove, it saves electricity and my having to constantly check on it to make sure my food doesn't boil over, or burn, or whatever. I initially bought this to be able to save fuel in case of power outage, or some other foreseen disaster that would halt conveniences. I have recommended this product to many people, and know of a couple of...Read more
