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 Cheesy

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
