I use it primarily as a "Mongolian hot pot". It heats evenly and fast with light off to indicate the set temperature has reached. It then maintains at the temperature you set. The capacity of this pot is well suited for four to six people. I also did some grill on it. It works as well. At beginning, I was a little concerned about the "Nonstick cooking surface". Since it is very easy to clean, you do not need to apply too much force on the surface. After eight months use, "Nonstick cooking surface" holds well. I do not see any sigh of scratch or wore out.

I am single and like a good T-bone or strip steak once and a while, but firing up the outside barbecue has become a real pain when all I want is one steak.
This is the answer; cooked two strip steaks and one boneless pork chop on it after I seasoned the grill (per instructions) with Pam, and they were great. Both the dog and I enjoyed them.
When I fist test started it, I turned it on high and gave it a few seconds and Wow!
this baby heats up fast and cooks as fast as a gas barbecue.
I cleaned the pan up as I do any non stick appliance (soak, brush and dish rag clean) as any rough pads or metal objects will do the surface in, even setting it in a metal wire dry rack.
Great buy.
Addendum:
I have purchased another pot as backup just in case the one I am using wears out; this is something I do with most small appliances I really like.
A note: because this is a pot grill, you can add water or beer, or whatever to moisten up the meat you are cooking,
something you cannot do to an outside grill. After you have seared and mostly cooked the meat, bring down the heat to just inside the 'WARMING' (about at the 'I')and let it steam for a while on both sides with your liquid added.
OH BOY

So often I have needed a small grill or cooker when I don't want to heat up the kitchen or when I want to just cook a small meal with controlled heat. This is an awesome little cooker - especially for the money. It heats evenly and effeciently and is super easy to clean.

I received this product yesterday and have used it to make grilled sandwiches similar to paninis. I realize my one-time simple use cannot be complete in the use of the product; however, I want to tell you my experience thus far. It was in perfect condition when it arrived. The inside grill pan is heavy enough that it could be similar in weight as a Calphalon grill pan that I previously owned. It is large enough to place 2 sandwiches in for grilling. The lid is a nice feature also. The grill pan easily snaps into the plastic housing. I cannot wait to make an omelet in it and I don't believe the raised grill lines will be a problem at all. After making my sandwiches, it was easy to clean. I am of the belief that it is a quality product. The most important part is that the heat is evenly distributed over the bottom of the pan and since it has the feel of an iron skillet (minus the weight), the heat is evenly distributed up the sides also. I plan to utilize it as often as possible and will post updates. It is a 3-qt size which will accommodate most casseroles.

The 6 in 1 super pot is a great item to have in your kitchen. The down side,the item arrived broken. I contacted Aroma and Aroma had me ship it back to them. They paid for UPS service,pick up at my front door 24 hours after I called to tell them of them damage. Had my new Aroma pot with in 7 days. Aroma is one great company to deal with when problems arrive.

i bought this for sukiyaki and was concerned with the raised "grill" but am SO thankful that i got this despite my reservations. not only is it great for sukiyaki, but other meats as well. i use this to grill chix, steaks and hambugers, sukiyaki, all meat. the size is perfect for a family of four (four hamburgers, four chix breast, 3 large New York Strips/T-Bone). love it! preheats super fast and the temp is even and changes (cools) with a turn of the dial - very important for sukiyaki. the char is great. clean up is super easy - the entire "pan" pops out. i stopped using my beloved cast iron skillet and other 'cooking' gadgets. if your looking for a table top this is THE one.

I grilled two chicken cutlets in the Super Pot last night and they came out perfect (375 degrees for 7 minutes, flipping once). Clean-up was painless; the pot pops out of the plastic housing for cleaning, although the manual says the whole thing is immersible. The two cutlets pretty much filled the grill, so it might be too small for more than two people. Now that it's too hot to grill outdoors, I'll be using the Super Pot more often.

Update: Burgers (80 percent lean) turned out great on the grill, too. Seasoned with McCormick's Montreal steak seasoning mix. Grilled at 375 degrees for about 12 minutes.

After recently having a heart attack & stent put in, our eating habits have changed a lot. This appliance has been great, easy to use, easy clean up. I have used it almost every day since it arrived. I like the fact that it has a lid & food can be steamed easily as well as grilled.

I use this about every day. I do steaks because of the grill type bottom, takes the grease away from your steak and but marks on the steak - like a real grill. Then next day may have pot of chili, made from scratch. NO problems so far and so easy to use and clean up. I just put in some water and a little dish soap and wash with my wand. The outside is not hot and it has a glass lid so you can see what is going on in the pot!

This product is a "must have" for motorhomes and trailers. Small enough to be stored easily and it reallyn is an all-in-one electric cooker...skillet...slow cooker. Fabulous!
