The Nissan Cooker December 29, 2007, 12:28:06 pm Yahoo Message Number: 87632Well, I received one of the last Nissan cookers last night by UPS. It looks like it is really well made. What threw me is that most of the writing on the outside is some Asian language. I am going to deduct that it is Japanese per the name Nissan. I cant find anywhere a hint of where its made. But it does bear the name Thermos and were all familiar with that. The first half of the recipe book is written in Japanese and the second half in English. This recipe book is pretty useless however. It gives a lot of measurements in grams and I am not a gram sort of gal . But the kicker is the recipe contents. For instance: Hasma, dried shelled longan, medlar, black fungus, conpoy, processed sharks fin, haui shan, and the list goes on. So my guess is that this must have been made in Japan and Thermos just translated the recipes somewhat. So Andy .Im going with you on this one and will use whatever ingredients I want to like I would be using my home crock pot. And I love the size. You also said that it stays at a certain temp. for at least 8 hours. I looked up some of these other look alike Nissans and they only say they stay hot for 6 hours and arent that much cheaper. So I will be trying this out next week at home way before I get to use it in my Dog Daze.Judy Wms. 2007 blue RB Dog Daze and all the fur kids[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Yes, but bear in mind that it needs "thermal mass" to stay safely hot. That means a pot full of soup or stew will do fine, but if you just throw half a chicken in there with not much else--something you could get away with if using a Crock-Pot--it won't stay hot long enough in the Nissan-type cooker to be well cooked. So be sure you fill the pot with liquid of some sort... and have plenty of freezer containers on hand to store what you can't eat right away. :-) I love having homemade soup and stew always available!Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
