   Some new restaurant opened up near where we live and we made the “mistake” of taking our two little kids to eat there one day. The whole self-serve of plates of food to put into the pot made them go nuts and we ended up spending over 60 bucks to eat there. And then we went back again because it tasted so good. And then we had to take the inlaws and that made it even more expensive. In the end, it felt like we were going broke, but it was still such a yummy experience!I began looking for a hot pot with a divider just like the one they used at the restaurant, which is ideal because then my husband and I could have our own broth on one side and the kids could have their miso soup broth on the other side. I couldn’t find one that was just a pot because I was going to buy it with a tabletop induction burner, but I ended up going with this one since it came with a heating element and pot all in one.The first time we used it I simply used miso soup and chicken broth like someone else in another review posted. It was so simple and delicious and just as good as the restaurant! I ended up spending 40 bucks on the food because I had no real idea of how much I should buy. This ended up being way too much and I’ve since then learned precisely how much food I need to buy to serve the four of us and now have it down to about 20 bucks per dinner, which is only slightly higher than a typical dinner anyway. Plus, I always have a delicious leftover soup to eat the next day, which saves me the cost of an $8 lunch.We use a variety of dipping sauces including somen salad dressing, ponzu sauce, a pineapple chili sauce, and soy sauce. I’m sure there are lots of other options you can make at home as well.The biggest downside by far is the short cord. Unless you have a table next to a wall outlet, you’ll find it hard to plug in on a traditional dining table. It’s long enough to keep it at the edge of our dining table, but it’s still dangerous and I have to make sure everyone stays away from it so they don’t trip on it and spill everything.Still, the cord isn’t enough for me to take off a full star. I still love this thing and have used it four times so far, with the kids loving it just as much as the restaurant’s food. And who can complain about saving 50% on a meal when you cook it yourself at the restaurant anyway!

   This is the second pot I bought from MV trading. I lived in Thailand for a few years and one of my favorite dinners was Yao Hon Kowlee BBQ. In Thailand, real fire (charcoal pot is used) and the BBQ/soup pot, which aluminum with slits cut into it that allows for cooking the meat and at the same time allowing the fats and caramelized juices to flow into the soup, sits above the glowing coals. As the dinner progresses, the soup (recipe to follow) gets tastier. Having a clay pot that weights 20 lbs filled with 3-5 lbs of burning coals limited this dinner to an out door affair. We live where it gets over 100 f in the summer and snows in the winter so we could not enjoy this as often as we would like (its not fun sitting around 3-5 lbs of burning coals when its +100f). I searched the net periodically for something that would allow my family to grill meats and have the drippings to flavor a base soup and this was the closest I could find.This works great if you have the correct utensils and enjoy a social dinner and are not in a hurry. Its romantic if just you and your spouse/significant other. But also fun for the kids (we have 5 thus the need for 2). The kids enjoy have Yao Hon as often as we want to set this up. They would eat it daily if we let them. Below is a list of things I have found to help make this a fun and delicious dinner including meats vegetables and dipping sauces.1. a couple quarts of Broth (vegetable or chicken, low salt if you are restricted). It is much easier if you pre boil the broth before adding it to this pot. It inst required as there are 2 settings for the soup base (hight and low) and high will bring the soup to a boil but pre heating allows for a quicker start.2. Meats: any meat you like grilled usually we do 2 types of meat like Sirloin (1 inch squares) and large shrimp. Often we also throw some Japanese egg plant or portabella mushrooms on the grill toward the end of dinner to lighten it up. We have a Thai marinate we soak the meats in, but you can use your favorite pre-grilling marinade or rub. Just use a lighter amount.3. 3-5 types vegetables: we do thai vegetables, but it really is a matter of choice ( Bok choy, cabbage, spinach, Chinese broccoli, regular broccoli – leaf veggies cut into 1inch by2 ibch strips). We always use mushrooms but again, all about your likes so the list of veggies can go on and on. Often we add a couple scallions and garlic cloves to the broth depending.4. Glass noodles (rice vermicelli) – again as preference goes, you can use any type of soup noodles that you like. Ramen noodles work well as a substitute.5. Eggs: We mix the glass noodle with a raw eggs before putting the noodles into the broth. You can also scramble the egg and add it directly to the boiling broth for an egg-drop style but it inst required.6. Lubricant: In Thailand, they place a huge chunk of Pork fat with skin on and this releases a slow steady oil that keeps the meat from sticking. We use a can of Pam and coat the Grill portion between each set of meat. I always spray the top of the meat before turning it. This is a low calorie option and works well.7. Dipping sauces at least 3: Again this depends on your meats and tastes. For example for Steak you can use Bearnaise (package mix works well), shrimp or chicken you can use teriyaki, Portabella you can use your favorite BBQ sauce. We use some special thai sauces that make this a very Thai experience. It all depends on the time you want to spend (open jars for quick and easy or spend some time to make some home made).8. Misc: Tongs, Ladle to dish out soup, Large cooking Chops sticks to turn the meat over, regular chops sticks for eating, Medium Bowls for soup, small plate for cooked meats, ramekins for dipping sauces, spoons for soup (consider the Asian style soup spoons to make the soup more romantic/fun), small pitcher with extra broth (needed not only to replace soup if wanted, but also I use the broth on the grill plate between each set of meat. It cools the grill plate and removes the caramelized drippings so they don’t burn).Directions: Pour pre-heated broth into soup pan. Fill to about 2 inches from top. Turn the Boil switch to “high”. Do not turn on the grill side until the vegetables are cooking. When the soup starts to boil, add the noodles and egg to broth and use chop stick/large spoon to make sure egg doesnt stick to bottom.Add alot of vegetables to broth remembering most of the leaf veggies will shrink so you really cant put too much.Turn on Grill portion and coat grill with pam. Here is the fun times as each person having dinner can put a few pieces of meat on the grill and cook their own meat. After using chop stick on raw meat, stir the soup to make sure veggies are all cooking and sterilizing the sticks.After everyone has removed there first pieces of meat, pour just enough broth onto the plate to cool it and use chop sticks to break up any juices. Use the tongs to grab the plate and dump the liquid right into the soup. Sometimes it takes 2 rinses. Spray with pam and then Add more meat. The soup usually takes about 15-20 minutes, but we normally only take a small portion of the soup at a time as the soup gets better and better each time you rinse the grill into it. The grill gets hot enough to really brown the meat but it doesnt do it too fast so medium rare is about the best you can do.This is a slower, social dinner that allows for lots of interaction and hands on fun. If you open a bottle of wine or have some cocktails, this is one of the best dinner parties you can have. It is extremely low fat with lots of veggies so it satisfies multiple needs. On the flip side, you can Keep it extremely simple with simple veggies, chicken/steak and store bought sauces.I am a foodie at heart and have been lucky enough to have traveled all over the globe collecting recipes and experiencing food from so many cultures the way it should be. I hope that this isnt too intimidating as it is really a joy to experience. The $75 might seem abit steep, but we use it about 2 times a month and so the cost per use is really worth it.

   It does as advertised.I have found that it does take a while to get a good rolling boil (and that’s starting from hot boilling water that we put in the hot pot). To get a rolling boil, start the hot pot around 30 mins before you are actually going to use it and pour boiling water to help it along. After that though, all is good.It’s a great way to entertain or just have fun dinners with family. My family is just addicted to hot pot and now wants it to be a weekly occurrence.A quick note about the broth: My local asian supermarket have a gazillion different kinds of hot pot broth mixes. I’ve also found that putting a few pieces of ginger in the broth provides a depth of flavour (don’t worry, the ginger doesn’t become overpowering). By the end of your hot pot party, you’ll find you’ve just made the most amazing broth ever. I save this as a flavourful soup base for when I make soups.

   The media could not be loaded.  This is a great way to have a date night with your significant other. This product is everything! We loved it so much. This was our first time using it and after we went live preparing and cooking eight of my friends purchase this pot immediately. I advertised this product as if it was my own. Everyone should have this pot. Great for entertainment and just a great way not to go,out and spend a lot of money when you can have fun in the comfort of your home. I recommend this pot. It’s a must buy.

   Decent at first but the grill is losing the non stick coating after some usage and cleaning.
