Dash Express Electric Cooker Hot Pot with Temperature Control for Noodles, Rice, Pasta, Soups, Boiling Water & More, 1.2L, Gray

What's not to like? It's extremely easy to use. It features a variable heat control which gives you options beyond boiling things. Good size, easy to clean, and a strainer lid too. Recommended for dorms, camping, anytime you don't want to take out pots and use the stove. Also helpful in doing meals for 1.

I bought this to make oatmeal for dorm life in college, but even after I've got my own apartment with a stove, I'm still using it! It boils water incredibly fast. I wouldn't recommend it for trying to prepare meals, though I bet it could get the job done.Pros: cheap, fast at boiling water, and durableCons: The inside ring is hard to clean unless you buy a brush, you can get a scotch brite on for like $3 at target. The inside metal ring can also start to tarnish after 2-3 months, some steal wool works great to clean it off.

First off, this cost less then $20 on Amazon, so my one exception is really irrelevant, but still worth mentioning in case the manufacturer cares to make a minor improvement.This unit does what it says it will do, and yes, it really does boil water in under 4 minutes. it's fantastic for cooking everything from Ramen to frozen vegetables, it would definitely be well suited for Dorms, RV's, a small business owner that may want to cook lunch in the back etc... you're only limited by your imagination.There's not a whole lot to say about the operation, add ingredients, turn on and cook, If you are doing Rice or Noodles or really anything for that matter, it's best to stir frequently to keep the ingredients from sticking and burning, it is basically a HOT Plate after all, it's not something you dump your food in the pot, set to high and walk away for 30 minutes and expect to have cooked food upon your return, if you want that, take up Sous Vide.My one compliant is the cord, I believe it was even advertised as 'Detachable' - It's NOT, but not a big deal, however, they should move it 180 degrees from where it is currently attached, which is directly under the handle, even just 90 degrees to the back would be a Big improvement, as it is now, I find I have to essentially wrap it around the cooker to be able to plug it in, the only other worse spot they could have picked would have been directly in front of the unit. But in the Grand Scheme, it's a minor compliant so although inconvenient, it is workable.Again, Less than $20 so who am I to complain?, I spend more than that filling up my gas tank every week.Great Product DASH, thumbs up.

My husband and I don't have an actual kitchen in our portion of the house, and didn't want to go up to the big kitchen all the time. This little kettle boils water in under five minutes and so far has made potatoes, tortellini and a few other things. While the temperature controls could be better, it will do off, simmer, and boil, and really, that's all I expected or need. It cleans up easily. I recommend stirring during cooking.

What a simple and fantastic appliance! Heats water quickly. Prepared gourmet egg drop soup for breakfast at a hotel we stayed in. With this appliance, the soup only took 10 minutes to prepare. The easy pour spout makes it easy to pour. Easy cleaning. Durable and quality is good. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone. Bon appetit and Godspeed everyone.

This is my favorite tool for making tea and French press coffee. Boils quicker than a microwave. Even heated Progresso Soup and other canned items still in the opened can with the label removed in a hot water bath(I didn't feel like washing soup out of it). Just have to make sure you turn it all the way off.

Purchased this to heat milk for my hot chocolate. I like my milk hot and thought this product would produce the result I was looking for. The results were maddening. The pot heated very fast and I took pains to NOT put it on the boil immediately. I started at the halfway mark and waited for the milk (ice cold from the frig) to get hot. It took a few minutes BUT the bottom of the pot was left with burned milk residue. For the next few days I tried various other settings but still ended up with burnt residue on the bottom, which took forever to remove via baking soda, vinegar and hot water and plenty of scrubbing. Bummer. It heats water fast, but that's about it. Also, washing it can be a trial because the cord is not detachable. You need to keep the cord away from the sink so that it does not get wet. Very disappointed.

After ordering other supposed hot pots, this one delivered exactly what I was looking for. I have a very short lunchtime and the ability to use a microwave is limited because of so many people eating lunch at the same time. I can quickly make soup or heat up casserole. I highly recommend it!
