thanks Daryl

I checked my Aldi one and it doesnt have a size I think its a 5L or 6L, it has an upper and lower compartment for cooking two different things.  I paid around $90 for it.   I have to be careful not overheat it as although its not ultra thin it could have a bit heavier base I feel.  I think this is the argument that the sellers of the more expensive ones make that theirs are  thicker and maybe better insulation.  I havent had the opportunity to test it out.

In saying all of that "you get what you pay for" and everything I have cooked in mine has turned out fine.  Its handy in some circumstances when travelling and I often put a corn beef and vegies in it on our first day on the road.  Also if there is a fire ban its useful.

When I recently went to Bali I was on the look out for a smaller one as its recommended you fill them 2/3rds.  I didnt see any there at all.

thanks carolyn
                     they have a bigger one 8litres i think
for $100 plus post / what i mainly wanted to know is
are they a good alternative when fire bans on / they say
18/10 stainless but not how heavy they are / i suppose
it depends on insulation qualities

thanks Daryl

KD, I only ask once, I don't beg anyone for anything  :D  :D

The early answer was that they dont even use heat beads but then I cooked something using beads, cant remember what.

It doesnt bother me one iota,  if and when I do something different in the Thermal Pot I will post it up in the general area where its been acceptable.  The half dozen things I have done cover what I would use it for most and they are all at http://www.youtube.com/user/CAROLYNSCOCIOZ   [smiley=rofl.gif]

In fairness this is a "Camp Oven" Forum and we are lucky to be able to post so much OT stuff so I wont be rocking the boat.   :D  :D
