Can I leave it on low for whole day (soup cook) without paying attention to it? Will it dry up?

It'll be OK. I've done it a number times. The good thing about this pot is it has aseal and clamps so all moisture is locked in. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

I have put mine in low for 7 hours and then it switches to warm for 3. No issues.

Oh yes :) I simmer sauces and soups just make sure that the sides are up so the wind doesn't blow the flame out :) Hope this helps :)

Yes, it needs to soak in water for no less than 2 1/2 hours but, it's best to soak for 8 hours... I usually soak it overnight when I'm planning to cook it the next day.

I use mine various ways, either I start cooking the night before to prepare lunch or I start cooking before I leave for work and when I get home dinner is cooked. So, I would say yes, it is safe to use as you describe...tip: set it in the lower settings not medium or high. Low is sufficient to cook over night or by the time you get home.

Hi Barbara,That's is perfectly fine. We are improving and transitioning to a new packaging which comes in new dry form.Once you soak the sponge in the water, it will become very softHow to care for this new dry type is the same. Once you are done using the sponge, squeeze out all access water and hang it to dry in a dry area.Once every 2 weeks, we recommend sanitizing by either putting it in boiling water for 1-2 min or putting it in a bowl of water and microwave it for 1:30 minIf you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at info@mykonjacsponge.com.

I haven't tried soup in mine, but I would definitely allow it to cool off before pouring in. The container seems to be more appropriate for dry goods. I keep flour and sugar in mine. Tomato based soups would likely stain the container. I LOVE these containers.

Yes, very much. I have done this before for other foods in a casserole dish, and keep it on lower heat.

I don't think so... the cooking method is based on the weight of the water. Once the water is absorbed or evaporated, the cooker shuts itself off. On the other hand, maybe you don't want it to shut off. Also, there is only one temperature of cooking... only on or off. Buy a big stainless cooking pot for your stove... works great for soups!

You can turn it off early before the timer goes off, and I did try fruit. My bananas went brown, and I tried another fruit, I think it was peaches or something like that, and it ended up kinda chewy. For some reason, I cannot get it like the stores have it, where it's dry and not mushy. I know that some websites advise the use of pectin (the canning stuff) when you dry fruit out cuz it prevents discoloration. I have yet to try that. I think I may need to experiment with the thickness of the fruit slices. That may have been my downfall. Having said that, I like to dry herbs with it from the garden. Now they turn out much better, and I gotta say, they are much better than the stuff they sell you at the supermarket. One last thing: I don't know that it's about the "heat" so much as it is about the "air". It didn't seem to really get hot that much.

Great question. I would recommend to hang dry or put in dryer with no or very low heat. If heat check periodically every 5-10 minutes.

If you are warming up the thermos correctly and for the full time before putting your soup in and it cools considerably after 4 hours, you might have a unit with a bad vacuum seal. If so, request an exchange. When properly done, my soups/spaghetti/etc remain hot for at least 12 hours and remain warm for up to 24 depending on how densely they are packed.

The bottle states to leave it on for 15min but for a good deep condition I would use with heat. I hope this helps.

Yes but food can get dry the longer that it is left out. I also wouldn't leave it on a cloth table cloth.

Depends when you take it off the heat. If you do so while some water remains, it can be put into a loaf pan, sliced, and fried. If you let it get drier, it stays dry and fluffy. I don't know northeast China, so I can't answer that directly, but it can be sticky.

This steamer/rice cooker works by basically evaporating all the water and releasing the steam (notice how the lid rattles; it's not meant to form a tight seal). There are sensors that shut the thing off when the water goes below a certain level. One should not use this to make soup.

The finished product is very fine and, using the filter,, should be OK.The soup does come out very hot so watch the temperature !

As long as it takes to dehydrate the item & where it will be safe. I put mine on top of my washer, there is a vent directly above it to help with the heat, I dehydrate chicken for my dogs so I use a high setting. I have left mine to go shopping or to dinner & have had no problem. Hope this helps
