Panasonic NC-EH40PC 4.1-Quart Electric Thermo Pot Review

I love my thermo pot. I use it everyday. I used to boil water in the microwave prior to having this pot. It used to take 2-3 mins for each cup of water. Great quality. It saves me so much time,especially in the morning when I need to rush out the door with a hot mug of tea.
To avoid build-up in the pot, I fill it with purified water instead of tap water. I've had it for several months and I haven't had to clean out any deposits yet.

Panasonic NC-EH30PC 3-Quart Electric Thermo Pot Review

Nice and simple pot. Has six hour timer, however, would like to have a longer delay for the day use. Also, when using the timer, it always resets the final temperature to 190 degree. Would be nice if it can "remember" the previous temperature setting. The inner container is coated with floury charcoal, not teflon coating that any other brands offer. It claims to bring out the fine taste of water. To me, at least it looks better than the grey teflon coating. Another feature missing is it does not come with the audible alarm.
Extra spec that I would like to know before ordering:
Power: 700 Watt
Temp setting: 140, 180, 190, 208
No audible alarm for any events.
After all, I am happy with the pot for the price and the build quality. Not sure if I would pay extra $30+ for the fancy features Zojirushi brand offers.

Panasonic NC-EH22PC 2.3 Quart Electric Thermal Hot Pot Review

My relatives have an equivalent Zojirushi model. The only difference is this one only has a 6 hour delay whereas the Zojirushi has a longer delay setting. It actually seems like the Panasonic insulates and holds the heat in better than the Zojirushi as it doesn't seem to reheat as often. I'm sure it would save a few pennies in power costs if I could delay it a little longer while I'm away at work all day but it isn't worth almost double the price to get that. That's the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. I actually like and prefer the nonstick interior and unless you've got hard water, you don't have to clean it as often as they suggest. It's over a month for mine being used every day and it doesn't look any different than when I bought it. I figure I'll clean it with lemon juice every other month.
Note that you don't have to buy the special cleaning solution. Make your own citric acid with a half cup of lemon juice concentrate mixed in with the water and then run it through the cleaning cycle. If you use fresh lemons make sure you get the pulp out.

Perfect for serving tea to a crowd, this electric thermo pot boils and safely dispenses up to 2-2/7 quarts of hot water through a front-access spout with a simple touch of a button. The unit automatically boils water then switches to a keep-warm setting; it can also be set to start boiling up to six hours later thanks to its energy-saving timer. For tap water high in chlorination, the pot offers a dechlorination mode, which boils the water longer to reduce the taste and amount of chlorine for better tasting beverages. For safety, a magnetic power cord disconnects if necessary to help prevent the unit from tipping over, while a locking lid keeps boiling water from spilling if the pot accidentally does get knocked over. Other thoughtful details include four variable keep-warm settings, an easy-to-read water-level gauge, a low-water warning, and a removable lid, as well as a non-stick coated interior, a cool-touch exterior, and a plastic carrying handle. An instruction manual in English, French, and Chinese comes included. The thermo pot measures approximately 8-1/2 by 9-2/5 by 11-2/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

George Foreman GR10B 36 Square Inch Nonstick Countertop Grill, Black Review

George Foreman GR10B 36 Square Inch Nonstick Countertop Grill, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Inexpensive, small, portable for traveling to parties (along with my
mini frydaddy deep fryer), intended for one big hamburger or steak or
2-3 chicken breasts. Heats up fast, 1 minute. Easy clean up (use
plastic spatulas, metal will scratch teflon).
When I ordered, I assumed this was a standard size and did not know
it was mini version - look at the dimensions - but I'm an individual
so this is perfect for me. When I have guests over, I can grill 5+
hamburgers separately in < 30 minutes.

Sporting a sleek, durable design, this electric countertop grill offers 36 square inches of cooking surface for endless cooking options. The unit heats up quickly and delivers even heat across the entire cooking surface, from the center all the way to the edges. Furthermore, its two fixed cooking plates provide a double nonstick coating, which makes lower fat cooking an easy option and helps ensure effortless removal of even the most delicate foods. Use the grill for anything from poultry and fish to fresh summer vegetables, veggie burgers, and more. The grill comes with a floating hinge for even grilling of thicker foods like steaks and pork chops, while its patented sloped design allows fat and grease to drain off for healthier results and reduced smoke when cooking. Other highlights include a "ready" indicator light, a plastic integrated handle, a drip tray for grease, and an easy-to-clean design. The personal-size grill measures approximately 9-2/5 by 10-1/5 by 5 inches.

Zojirushi 6 Cup Rice Cooker / Steamer Review

Zojirushi 6 Cup Rice Cooker / Steamer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I love my rice cookers. I use them not only to make rice, but for all sorts of one-pot meals. Put in a cup of rice, vegetables, meats or seafood, seasonings, tofu... and a half hour later you have a steaming hot one-pot meal. They're also good for pilafs and other grain dishes.
The Zojirushi and Panasonic units are all first rate, BUT you need to know a little something about cooking rice beyond what's in the poorly worded manuals.
Different rice takes different amounts of water. The long-grained rice Americans are used to should be cooked with 1-3/4 cup of water for each cup of rice. Japanese rice needs only 1-1/4 cup of water for each cup of rice, or 1 cup of water for each cup of washed, wet, rice.
Many Americans (and Europeans) have problems with these cookers because the measure ments are calibrated for Japanese short grain rice, and the Westerners are cooking long grain rice. Get the ratios correct, and everything works out fine.
I've had a number of rice cookers of different sizes. My Panasonic has lasted over 20 years, and my Zojirushi looks like it'll last just as long, while my South Bend gave up the ghost after only a year. Go with the top Japanese models; they're made for day-in and day out cooking.

Plump, tender and moist grains of rice, with the option of colorful steamed veggies, can be yours with this cooker/steamer. No need to worry about rice drying out and sticking to the sauce pan either, as the "keep warm" function will maintain ideal temperature and consistency until you're ready to serve. Use the steamer basket for chicken, seafood, or vegetables - healthy cooking was never this easy!
