Can I use this for spices in soups, etc? Instead of Musliin bags? Thanks!

I don't really know. It's not very big. I put 2 candies in it...the Sunkist gels for an occasion to give to our guests so, never submerged it in water let alone hot water.

Hi there. As far as I understand, the cooker we bought can be used for shabu shabu, with this said, should serve very well for hot pot food recipe idea, we'd like to perform with this cooker. However, yes, the directions are MIA, I also used the cooker for some steamed veggies and the smell of burned material intrigued me a lot. And, finally the strainer you can used it when you cooking ramen, noodle soup, and the meats, spices, and noodles can be thrown inside to cook al dente.

Sure. I don't see why it wouldn't work just fine for food. I have the kit and use it all the time fo small products.

It's primarily for soups and stews. It could be used for sautéing, as in sautéing ingredients for the soup/stew, but isn't supposed to be used at more than medium heat.

It's for keeping herbs and spices emerced in the soup without mixing with the rest of the food

Yes you can I've used about 400 with my food savor and have no trouble be sure to have vented side of bag turned up

Yes you can. But it wont hold as many spices. The top horizontal line hold 4. If you turn it, you can put one on top. But the rest wont fit.

You could use it for leafy things, like basil, oregano, mint etc. But for thicker vegetables like carrots or onions your better off getting a forced air dehydrator. It will dry your vegetables more quickly with less chance spoilage.

I have not used it for soup but would do it. Just because of the sealing from inside. Just be careful with the cap/lid. It does not stay tight.

I imagine you can. You would need to bring it up to pressure on a stove then move it to the bag. It would definitely increase the cooling and de-pressurizing time so I am not sure what that would do to what ever you are cooking.

Sure you can. But please be more specific in your question. You could definitely it as a vehicle for soups and such. I've used mine in the stove, in my fireplace and in a fire pit. I'd you have a specific idea in mind, let me know!

I don't see why you couldn't do that. It just means your bag gets smaller and smaller, since you have to cut off one of the sealed ends each time. I use it for cheese, make sure the bag is extra long, and then just keep resealing it each time I have to open it. I've never tried washing it and reusing it, since I use mine mostly for raw meats.

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.

KitchenAid does not recommend this to be used for spices. I would follow their advice.

Yes, I use these for soup. I liked this set of dishes and this is the only bowl that I was able to find to match and I bought it and use them. It is large so I just don't fill it up as much.

Aurburn Tygr,Great question - it can be used to infuser most things. The two cautions I have are first - if the spices are small (for example the size of cinnamon) they will leak out. Probably not a big deal if you are just pickling. Second - we have not tested the infuser in this harsher environment. I am not sure how it will react to being put in vinegar over extended periods of time. I assume if you normally use stainless steel to hold your spices then this should do fine. Don't forget we have a money back guarantee if it doesn't meet your needs.Don
