can you simmer things in this like sauce and not have it burn? thats a big thing for me. I thought with the tri poly base it might be possible? thanks

Hi Irish Angel, As long as you stir once in a while, it should be alright. It's performance is almost comparable with non-stick cookware. But remember that it is a metallic product, it is not entirely non-stick but there is a huge diff in performance compared to other stainless steel pots & pans I have. Also the satisfaction of cooking in a non-toxic cookware is great! I like it. I wish it came in an extra large size too :-)

Yes! I've made many sauces and stews in this pot. The tri-ply construction is in the bottom AND up the sides of the pan so you get a good consistent heat like all clad without the price tag. Good luck!

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

I make hypertufa pots with it, it helps strengthen larger pots... it's in a watery mix, but it stays the same texture.

I just hung up the phone with them because I had the same problem. They confirmed with me that the DID change the recipe. Made it thinner because people complained about it not coming out of the bottle easily. I said they should have changed the bottle, not their delicious sauce. Oh well... time to find another favorite.

I'm not sure. I've not tried this. I would think that a thicker mix may not work as well, but I'll give it a shot.

The instructions indicate you sprinkle it on a medium fire. Ok, that doesn't make any sence to me what so ever. I simply place the powder on a flat board and spread it out nicely. Then I insert the board carefully on top of the fire from the side. It seems to work well, and I don't get that crispy burnt hand feeling. Wish you the best.

Absolutely! It just depends how long you cook it ... Maybe do a minute or less per strip to start, then adjust to preference once you get the idea.

I use a simmer plate on dishes I like to simmer slowly, like spaghetti sauce, black eyed peas/beans, and okra and tomatoes....even my lowest setting on my "simmer" burner (gas) cooks too fast. And when I had an electric stove, a plate was a must.

You can make your own. It comes with 4 and they are good. You can add to those if you like, I added some hot sauce to it. The cure is more than salt but I don't know what. I used the same amount of salt as there was cure, it was so bad I had to throw it out.

I have not reheated marina. I tend to think that if the sauce is thick, it may not be a good expertience. The food will stick and burn. If you don't mind ithe sauce on the thinner side, like a stew, it will probably be okay.

Place the "meat trivit" nubs down. The pupose, to provide space between the meat and pot bottom to prevent burning. Alternative would be to replace trivit with a thick layer of Vidalia or similar sweet white Onions under the meat, providing the same effect, while adding moisture and flavor to the dish, according to taste. Your choice.

I apologize but i have not used it. I will check tomorrow night (won't behome tonight) to see if there is a recipe. I used it for a prop at a party that was a carnival theme.

Yes u can. That is the kind that I use in mine. It just might take a little longer to melt but once it is melted, all is well.

I use mine for homemade bab sauce without issue. It's about as thick as ketchup.

I e-mailed the distributor and explained the problem of having something that I couldn't use and they e-mailed me not only the directions but recipes. It's easy to use once you know what you have. Hope you have as much success as I did. I use it very often and really like the convenience and the fact that it doesn't heat up my kitchen. I live on the desert so hate anything that adds heat. Good luck

I'm sorry. That's never happened with ours. I wonder if the temperature you cook with has something to do with it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck in finding the answer.

I am something of a gourmet cook, and have never felt that the number of settings was too limited. My only gripe, and it is minor, is that over time the lowest settings have become hotter. Used to be able to simmmer at 2, now simmers at one. Performance varies from pan to pan, and with some pans, 1 is almost too hot for a simmer. Over all, I am thrilled with the burner and recommend it highly.
