Aroma Housewares GRILLET 3 in 1 Indoor Grill Pot, Slow Cooker and Steamer with Temperature Control, Smokeless Nonstick Electric Grill with Tempered Glass Lid, 3 Quart, 10 Inch

I live in a desert, where appliance cooking makes total sense. Because I take pains to avoid adding unnecessary heat to our cottage for most of the year, I have gone through a a variety of electric skillets and Foreman grills, in search of the just-right-for-my-style-of-cooking-appliance. None have been completely satisfactory, for one reason or another, but this Aroma mult-pot is almost perfect in all the important ways. I bought it as a warehouse deal, knowing I was taking a chance. Who among us has not received a broken or defective product returned by some earlier buyer? But the price was low enough that I was willing to gamble. Sure enough, the pot arrived with a the broken plastic housing on the control plug, but it was nothing a dab of epoxy glue couldn't fix. I was too eager to put it to work to be arsed to send it back. It has been used almost daily since then. It is much more versatile than a panini press type grill and a perfect size for a two-person household. Last night I grilled some burgers and then browned chicken cubes for tonight's chicken verde. I cooked up a mess of bacon in it this morning. I'll make braised escarole and beans tomorrow night and grilled cheese sandwiches the next. It will be used for a Halloween houseparty hotpot at the end of this month. This is how I know I have found a really "good," or, at least, good-for-me appliance...something about it encourages it's frequent use. This three-in-one superpot is my new favorite in that regard. Move on over, egg cooker/single serve broccoli steamer! Some reviewers say these are "flimsy" appliances, but they are judging this pot by its cover. Yes, the surrounding frame is plastic, but it is not likely to break unless it is severely abused. It is advertised as being dishwasher proof but it is easier to wipe it down after each use. The cooking portion is a snap to remove and replace and (relatively) easy to clean. I also appreciate the indicator light on the dial, which makes it easy to fine tune low temperature cooking. The overall temperature control is very responsive, with the unit heating up and cooling down quickly and the non-stick finish is superb. But the top selling point (Grill Marks!) is also my top gripe. Those luscious bown marks come from ridges. Ridges make it difficult to spatula out leftover grease, and demand the melt and pour method of cleaning, vs. the scrape and dunk method. Being firmly in the former camp, I want this with a flat bottom pan, and a removable ridged insert for the occaisional times when really want Grill Marks! I would even pay full price for it. But until then, I will just have to make do with my nearly almost perfect Grillette. Life is tough, I tell ya.

I was introduced to Shabu Shabu about 12 years ago and since then it has become our family’s favorite meal. Its not only fun for my 10 year old twins but it’s super tasty and healthy to cook the vegetables and meat in a tasty broth. Up till now, and getting this pot, we were going to restaurants which averages about $25/person. Kinda pricey for a family of four to make it a weekly routine. So this year I purchased 2 of these pots as Christmas gifts for our family, one for the kids to share and one for me and my husband. I was keeping my fingers crossed that they would workout as a hot pot and...woo hoo, they exceeded all of our expectations! Here are some details. I purchased two pots and when they arrived one had a tear in the box and the plastic pot sleeve was bent. I returned it, drop off at Kohl’s, and a couple days later received a replacement in perfect condition. Since Christmas we have used the pot twice for Shabu Shabu and it’s been very easy to use. I believe one pot could be used by up to 4 people but I‘m happy that I purchased 2 for convenience. The temperature controls work great and I was able to adjust the soup from boiling to simmer quickly. Also the pot heats up very quickly so you don’t have to wait around to get started. As for cleanup, I’m thrilled with the design. After the pot cools, I disconnect the cord from the pot, remove the inner metal pot from the plastic sleeve (easily pops apart), and hand wash the pot and plastic sleeve. The pot is nonstick so residue comes off very easily. We’re so excited about the pot that we look forward to trying other types of foods and grilling... in-between Shabu Shabu.

I bought this for making hot pot dinners and it worked great for that. Heats up very fast with easy temperature control throughout the meal. Cleanup is a breeze, either by hand or in the dishwasher. It's a good size for a group hot pot dinner or just for two. I have not used it to grill but it certainly looks very doable. I did try to stir-fry shell-on extra large shrimp with minced garlic in it. While it cooked the shrimp just fine, the oil and garlic bits that fell between the grids were hard to stir around to prevent them from getting burnt, so I basically lost the tasty fond, which is really half of the intense flavor of the dish. I know it was not designed to function as a skillet but would have been nice to have that instead of the grill as an option. I have been using it for over 5 years now and it's as good as now. Bravo!

I absolutely LOVE this thing. I’ve done a lot of research to find a perfect pot for our hot pot nights and this does the job! The fact that it’s a 3-in-1 is fantastic because not only can I use it for hot pot nights but I can also use it to grill salmon or steam vegetables. Specifically, I use this mainly for hot pot and it’s great! It takes about 2-3 minutes to reach boiling point after you’ve plugged it in and turn the nob to the highest temperature. Be careful not to touch the black part of the pot because it can be very hot but the white part underneath helps transport it if needed. It’s the perfect size for 4 people to share and I like that it’s low, not tall where you have to dig in to find certain items. The only “downside” is that it isn’t that deep so you’d have to have a separate pot on the stove with the broth to refill but that isn’t a big deal. Our family absolutely loves it! Highly recommended purchase! For the price you pay, you get a high return on investment. Delicious!!!

This is the best little appliance I ever bought. Actually I was looking for a slow cooker that did not have a ceramic insert and was not quite so big. I have to do my cooking sitting down, and I was always afraid of handling that heavy 6 quart pot. Under slow cookers I found only one with a metal pot, but the size was also 6 quarts. In spite of the fact that it would be too big for my 1 person household, I almost went for it but then decided to research some more. Finally, I found this little gem, the Aroma ASP-137 3-quart Super Pot. I read all the reviews. Unfortunately most of the owners used theirs as grills or hot pots and not as slow cookers. Most of the few customers who had tried the slow cooking feature were not complimentary. Amazingly some said it was too hot while others said it did not get hot enough. I bought it anyway, and I am glad I did. It works fine as an indoor grill and has the advantage that one can brown the meat for a stew or for a chicken dish, for instance, then lower the temperature and let it cook slowly. There are no degree markings below 200°F, but it is not too difficult to remember the best positions for various recipes. I use the letters of the word "WARM" as guidelines. My special chicken and rice dish cooks beautifully. I grill the chicken, then add water and uncooked rice as well as vegetables. It also makes the easiest Risotto I have ever cooked. Who needs a separate rice cooker? One thing, too, the pot is a breeze to clean up. You don't even have to soak it if your dish included enough liquid. Yes, I am in love with my little cooker. I had almost given up on cooking just for me and settled for sandwiches, but now I enjoy cooking again.

I bought this item exactly one month ago based on the glowing reviews. Admittedly, at first it seemed strange that this $35 hot pot could boil and grill better than its $100+ counterparts. But I am now fully convinced of the validity of Amazon's customer review system. This thing does everything it says it does on the box, and does it better than any kitchen item I've EVER purchased. It boils, steams and grills AMAZINGLY well! The capacity is more than enough for a family of four simply based on the accelerated cooking time. We just throw it in and take it out a few seconds (for thinly sliced beef) or minutes later (for chicken chunks). Breakdown of what this thing can do: BOIL - For hot pot, we add room temperature chicken broth and some spices. It takes about 6 minutes to get it to a rolling boil on the MAX setting. Much faster than my stovetop. GRILL - About a minute to get to the searing temperature on MAX setting. I drop some cuts of Char Siu on it and get PERFECT grill marks in 30 seconds. By perfect I mean clean and dark grill lines, the quality of which I've only seen in food advertisements. Also, you can grill fish on this thing and it tastes amazing! Each piece of fish will have the crusty outer layer (yum) and a very moist interior. STEAM - Just put food in and add some water. We steam spinach and broccoli in a few minutes. SMALL OVEN? - We recently started using this machine the same way that we would use our oven. For baked ginger, onion, sugar and soy chicken. The ingredients make a pretty amazing sauce and this machine will cook the drumstick chicken in 15 minutes. The exterior will have a nice glaze and the interior is super moist, almost wet, but cooked thoroughly. The non-stick coating is pretty incredible as well. Charred sugary residue seems to just slide off the grill plate. I love this thing! It's the best $35 my family has ever spent. :)

Disclaimer - I purchased this super pot simply just for Shabu Shabu. Being a Shabu Shabu/Hotpot fanatic living in NYC, finding an affordable, eat-all-you-want Shabu Shabu restaurant is almost hopeless. So, after several disappointing Shabu Shabu sessions (and burning a few big holes in my pocket), I decided to just get myself a hotpot. After a couple of weeks of searching, both in stores and online, I stumbled upon Aroma's super pot. The price is definitely one of the cheapest, and the size seemed just right for 2-3 people. So, I brought it! Delivery time was reasonable, about a week. The packaging was decent, nothing was damage. Manual was easy to understand, and most importantly, the pot was lightweight, making cleaning and storing easy breezy. The only two complaints I've is that, one - the base is made out of plastic (that explains the lightness), and after using the pot twice, I am starting to get paranoid that the plastic will eventually break or crack. The second complaint is that the power cord is kind of short, and you can't use an extension cord (as stated in the manual and on the power cord itself). Thankfully our dining table is just next to a power outlet. In general, if you are looking for an affordable all-in-one pot, this is definitely one of the cheapest. But, if you are looking for something that is more durable, I wouldn't recommend this.

Éste electrodoméstico lo uso casi a diario: calienta rápido, se regula fácilmente, es muy versátil, le cabe hasta un kilo de carne más vegetales o pasta, la tapa sirve para acelerar el tiempo de cocción, en fin, es como un sartén eléctrico pero con la ventaja de una parrilla al mismo tiempo. Ésta marca es buenísima, y el precio es muy bajo para la utilidad que puede dar.

This is great pot to cook hotpot, first I was worried if it was deep enough, it turns out to be perfect. It also heats up really fast so no need to wait for long heating period like a stove.

Muy fácil de usar muy buen producto

After reading many reviews I decided to purchase & so far I have no regrets. Purchased mainly for Motorcycle camping as I always get electricty "Cpap", This is light weight & multi functional. Perfect size for two persons. I've made pasta with hamburger veggies tomatoes. stirfry, kabobs, burgers, chichen breast, SLOW cooked Pork roast with potatoes & veggies So far everything except a breakfast but i am fully convinced that This will be great also. Clean up is super easy & as another reviewer said this thing heats up fast & you real need to stay right there.

Excelente me encantó
