Panasonic Electric Thermal Hot Pot

Push-button dispensing spout, flip-top lid, and convenient carrying handle. View larger.

Keeps water hot at different temperatures--great for a variety of uses.

Whether hosting a business meeting, catering an event, or simply upping the convenience quota of everyday life, Panasonic's electric thermal hot pot makes it easy to quickly and safely boil and dispense hot water--perfect for anything from tea, instant coffee, and hot cocoa to instant soup, noodles, baby food, and more. The exceptionally versatile unit can be used throughout the day for various applications and at different temperature settings. The pot's fold-down carrying handle makes it effortless to transport from the sink for filling to the buffet table or counter when entertaining guests or working in the kitchen.

Choose between heating water to a rolling boil (212 degrees F) or keeping it hot at one of the following Keep Warm temperature settings: 208, 190, 180, or 140 degrees F. The unit can also be set to start boiling up to six hours later thanks to its energy-saving timer.

The thoughtfully designed hot pot gracefully dispenses hot water from its built-in spout with a gentle press of the button. Once the mug, bowl, or other vessel has been properly filled, simply release the button to stop the flow of water. For safety, the hot pot provides a locking lid to prevent spills if it tips over, a locking dispenser that prevents unintended dispensing, automatic shut-off if water levels get too low, a cool-touch body, and a breakaway magnetic power cord.

Easy-to-read water-level gauge.

Other highlights include a non-stick coated interior, an easy-to-read water-level gauge, an LED control panel with handy indicator lights, a low-water-level warning, and protection against overheating for peace of mind, as well as de-chlorination mode, which boils water for a longer amount of time to help reduce the taste and amount of chlorine for better tasting beverages (great for tap water high in chlorination).

Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, Panasonic's electric hot pots carry a one-year limited manufacturer's warranty, plus an additional one-year limited warranty (two years total) from Good Housekeeping--it's more than just a Seal of endorsement.

Choose from three useful sizes--2.3 quarts (NC-EH22PC), 3.2 quarts (NC-EH30PC), and 4.2 quarts (NC-EH40PC).

Kitchen Tip: Thermal Pots save energy because they use trapped heat to brew.

Safety Features:

• No spilling with locking lid
• Dispenser Lock button guards against unintended dispensing
• Breakaway magnetic power cord releases under pressure
• Automatic shut-off if water levels get too low

Nice and simple pot. Has six hour timer, however, would like to have a longer delay for the day use. Also, when using the timer, it always resets the final temperature to 190 degree. Would be nice if it can "remember" the previous temperature setting. The inner container is coated with floury charcoal, not teflon coating that any other brands offer. It claims to bring out the fine taste of water. To me, at least it looks better than the grey teflon coating. Another feature missing is it does not come with the audible alarm.

Extra spec that I would like to know before ordering:
Power: 700 Watt
Temp setting: 140, 180, 190, 208
No audible alarm for any events.

After all, I am happy with the pot for the price and the build quality. Not sure if I would pay extra $30+ for the fancy features Zojirushi brand offers.

This review is from: Panasonic NC-EH30PC 3-Quart Electric Thermo Pot (Kitchen)

I got this thermo pot as a baby shower gift from one of my girlfriends, who is a veteran mom. It's great to have ready hot water with a baby, it's easy to use, the water is always hot. The size is perfect for our use. My Mother-in-law likes it so much we bought it for her as a thank you gift for helping us so much the last few months. It's easy to use, just that there's mineral build-up, have to use the mineral removal pills to clean up the pot once every two months. Other than that, it's reliable, easy to use, I highly recommend it.

I am a tea drinker, so this product is perfect for me. It is very convienient and handy. You can have clean hot water available all day long. At the end of the day, there is white precipitate material in the pot which I have frequently seen with kettle boiling water as well. So daily rinse with water after use is a good idea. If the deposites builds up significantly in the thermos pot, squeez half of a lemon in to the pot full of water and put it through the cleaning cycle gets rid of the deposits nicely. This product is 100 times better than kettle boiling water.
