We got rid of our other very popular griller named after a boxer. (smile). As a result of using the previous griller and enjoying it we knew we had to have another electric griller and this 3-in-1 Multi-Cooker by Sanyo has me in complete awe -- I'm in love with it!1) Not only does it have a grill plate, but it comes with the 4.5-Quart non-stick pot. I used the pot first to make a Jambalya recipe and it worked out great.2) Temp Control = Being able to control the temp by taking it to a boil and down to simmer is a very useful feature. from Cooking.com The pot cooks very evenly and is more than enough for 4 people (I would think it could serve up to 8, definitely could do 6). The whole apparatus feels very solid like it was built to last. Included also is a metal rack that that can be used to steam food (we used it for shumai and gyoza / jiaozi / potstickers.) We had been using our rice cooker for this, but the HPS-MC3 is a lot larger allowing you to steam a whole meal's worth and the design is such that it's easy to put it on your table and eat your food fresh from the steam. The HPS-MC3 also includes a grilling plate which we might use some day but we haven't used it for that purpose. from Amazon.com The whole thing is nonstick and cleans up easily with a paper towel. I recommend this for a dorm room or as an efficient alternative to a full size cooktop. I first discovered SANYO a few years ago when I bought my first toaster oven. I debated buying an indoor grill but went all out for this "multi-cooker". from Amazon.com was unable to maintain a slow simmer using the pan. from Cooking.com it heats up pretty quick and brings the water to a boil after 5-7 minutes. from Amazon.com super easy to adjust the temperature and it heats up quickly. from Amazon.com i've used it for eggs, pancakes, stir-fry, steaming vegetables, macaroni and cheese, grilled steak and chicken. from Amazon.com I am somewhat disappointed with this product. Was unable to maintain a slow simmer using the pan. from Cooking.com I received the cooker just in time for Thanksgiving. I cooked two turkey thighs on the grill and they were tender and juicy. from Cooking.com WOW -- I don't even know where to begin with this review. I purchased this Multi-Cooker to replace another electric griller we received as a gift a few years ago. We really liked that one, but we used it so much the non-stick coating was starting to come off. from Cooking.com
