Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef's Choice 675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot
Customer Review: Very useful
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using this hot pot for a few months and have no complaints. I use it at least once a day. I hesitated to boil eggs, though, when I saw the opening inside the pot to the water gauge in the handle. What would happen if a raw egg cracked while cooking? Would the liquid egg end up inside the water gauge? How would I ever clean that out? Well, I've had a few eggs crack while cooking - I've found letting a cold egg come to room temperature before cooking it seems to prevent cracks - but never any runny messes. The eggs cook up great by putting them in the pot with water, bringing everything to a boil, then letting the eggs sit in the hot pot with water for 10 minutes. Longer than that gives a tough egg. And no grayish rings in the cooked yokes.
I haven't tried peeling eggs like in this short video - http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/07/24/how-to-peel-hard-boiled-eggs-without-peeling.aspx?source=nl - but I have tried using baking soda and have found the eggs do peel in the normal way a bit easier.
My only complaint is that small hole inside the pot about 1" from the bottom that I mentioned. No way would I cook soup in the pot because of the cleaning issues I've already mentioned. But the pot hard boils eggs fine and heats water very quickly.
Another reviewer mentioned that the spout is poorly designed. The owner's manual says the spout was intentionally designed as it was for ease of pouring. If you aren't paying attention when you are pouring and don't have the spout centered over whatever you are pouring the water into then, yes, the water will spill. I haven't found this to be an issue.
I like that the heating element doesn't come in contact with the water so there is no mineral buildup to contaminate my tea.
Description of Chef's Choice 675 International Cordless Electric Hot Pot
Perfect for the office, college dorm or traveling, this revolutionary Cordless Electric Hot Pot boils water for beverages and soups. Made of 18/10 stainless steel, its powerful 1500 watts allows for a quick full boil, faster than heating water in the microwave. The heating element sealed beneath hot pot floor never comes in contact with water, thus eliminating the possibility of mineral build-up. A convenient external water gauge is located in the handle for easy viewing and lid locks for safe pouring. Also features an On/Off switch, illuminated ON switch when unit is operating, automatic shut-off when water reaches a boil and double boil-dry shutoff protection. Holds 1.75 quarts..Perfect for making coffee, tea, soup, and hot chocolate at home, in the office, or in the dorm room, this 1,500-watt pot brings 1-3/4 quarts of water to a boil more quickly than a stove or microwave oven. It lifts off its power base for cordless pouring. Made of 18/10 stainless steel with a matte-finish, black plastic lid, handle, and bottom, the handsome pot is polished to a mirror finish on the outside and has a brushed-finish interior that's seamless for easy cleaning. For safety the pot shuts off automatically when water reaches boiling or if it boils dry, and the hinged lid opens only when a button on the roomy, stay-cool handle is pressed. A gauge displays the water level and a light shows when the pot is operating. To prevent, say, tea bags from plopping out, the lid's indentation at the pouring spout contains sieve-holes. Measuring 6-1/4 inches in diameter and 8 inches high, the pot has a cord-wrap in the power base and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
