Hi Anne & Neil,

Have had a 5Lt Dreampot for quite a number of years and swear by it, comes with recipe book along with new recipes and hints by email every six months. I always use ours on the first day of travelling as it is our most stressful day (just getting away) and it makes for a plesant time when we get to our destination. I also use it throughout our travels and also at home. My Dad used to say that the vege soup I make in it tasted nearly as good as his mothers! Now that's saying something!! I keep ours safe whilst travelling in a milk crate in the back of the car or sitting on one of the seats in the caravan - doesn't move.

Have fun, and safe travelling

I've used a Dreampot for the last year & swear by it also, I love cooking silversides in them then leaving some of the stock in it the next day I add lamb chops, veges & flavours & make a cassarole then I mix the leftover stock & the access liquid from the cassarole together to make about a litre of soup.
I have seen the Thermos brand of the same thing & was impressed with the quality, the saucepan part has a thick heavy base which I would have much prefered to the thin one the Dreampot provides

Cheers

We use the shuttle chef, it is the one  with the full insulation like thermos'.  It is great, we cook up something in the mornings when we are travelling for the day and when we arrive dinner is ready.   OUrs came with the insulation bag so it is easy to transport in the tug.  We use it at home a lot even though neither of us work.  I wish we had one when all our family was at home and we were both working, it would have saved so much time.

Makes great curries and the best fluffy rice.  Lamb shanks, red wine casserole yum.  I have made bread once and need to do a bit more practice and I have made cakes.

Thanks for the feedback, yes I love my pressure cooker and as it is electric I don't have the worry of standing around while the pressure builds up and not feeling comfortable of walking away while it is still going.  With my electric one it has a time and also non stick bowl to saute and brown.  I think I may be saving myself money by not buying vacuum thermal cooker.  cheers

Yes Tefal make an electric pressure cooker.  So easy and no adjusting on heat on cooktop to get the right pressure.  It is just a matter of turning on, setting the time and walking away.  It then reduces pressure and keep food warm till needed.  Also with the non stick lining to the pot you can brown or saute as needed.  I used to have a panic attack each time I went to use the other style and always thought it was going to blow up on me!!!!!!!

I seen in Homeart today, pressure cookers, electric, $99. I don't know if that is a good price or not, having never owned one but thought I would pass it on here.
