Can you just heat up canned soup in it? Or reheat leftovers directly from the fridge?

I have heated caned soup. It does a great job . But it is so small, it barely fits. Right up to the top. It would be great if they made it just a little bigger. I believe the design is based on a morrocan tagine. It can also be used to reheat.

I'm sure you can -- it's just a ceramic bowl, with a lid that has a hole in the top. I've not used it for reheating.

yes, you can reheat as well as cook in it. It's not very big, but it's a nice size for an individual serving. A friend of mine said they make a larger version, but i have never seen it.

You can reheat anything you normally would reheat in a microwave oven. It just can't hold that much

yes but you need to pot the top and not leave it in for too long, this get very hot very quickly. However found it best to put soup in the aluminum tray to heat and it will take about 30 minutes at most to heat.

Hi, I like using carrots, onions and celery that I saute in olive oil for a few minutes until they start to soften. I then add about 8 cups of stock and 1 cup of the soup mix. When it get near the end of the cooking time (the soup mix is fairly soft) I'll add either some shredded cooked chicken or little mini meatballs. I sometimes will add a diced potato as well. I like to use Italian seasonings in the soup.

I have used for soup, I add hot water to the thermos while heating soup on the stove. The soup stays warm.

Yes you can. I have cooked soup and hot dogs in mine. It is very versatile, and I use mine every day.

Well, it's a little tricky to vacuum seal things with liquid, as the liquid rises to the top of the bag...thus the need for the removable chamber. Some people suggest freezing the soup/stew/sauce first in a container, then heating it to the point where it is still mostly frozen but will slide out of the container, then putting it in a bag and vacuum sealing. It's a little time intensive but will apparently last MUCH longer than just freezing in a container. Hope this helps.

I saw no recommendation by the manufacturer as to how to store your cooked lasagne but common sense would tell me to store it in a food safe storage container and reheat as practical, be it by microwave or regular oven.

Mostly we defrost and serve cold which is delicious. We have warmed it before, but you have to be careful because it can get dried out. Leftovers are better when not heated.

It would depend on how much soup you have. If you just want to heat up soup, use the microwave or a pan on the stove. I think it would take at least an hour in the crock pot for 2-3 qts. If after you heat it up, you want to keep it warm for awhile, then the crock pot would be great.

You need to freeze the soup in a container first, release it from container , then put it in the bag and seal. This works great for me good luck.

If not a warmer..place the wax container half or 3/4th dipped in a pan filled with water. Heat this pan of water on your cooking range till the wax melts. And use d wax side by side.Or empty the wax in a microwavable/plastic container and try heating it on a soup auto heat mode.

I haven't because I don't think it's deep enough to really cook soup (except for perhaps a very fast-cooking type of soup.) The flavors and ingredients wouldn't really meld, IMO. Also, although the lid seems very secure and tight, I'm not sure it would seal in the cooking ingredients well enough to do the slow-cook thing for several hours without losing too much liquid.

I'm not sure about that, but this is what the product description says. "Just add frozen minestrone, pop the mug into the microwave, and set your steaming soup on the dinner table. The included plastic lid keeps contents fresh and is heat-resistant for microwave use..."

The cooker gets up to 300 degrees. Boiling point is only 212. so yes you can cook rice, or warm up canned foods, leftovers etc.

I defrost them in the fridge but you could microwave or heat on the stove. :)

Honestly, all I've ever cooked is one large can of soup. It would have taken two cans. Your guess is as good as mine.
