Collection: Hot Pots & Multi-Cookers

Hot pot is cooked at the table, not carried to it, which is why a saucepan on the hob never quite works. These sit in the middle of the table and hold a rolling simmer all evening. The yuanyang pans (twin broths, one spicy and one clear) let people who disagree about chilli eat from the same pot.

Sizes run from a 1.2L pot for a single bowl of noodles to 6L induction-heated pans for a table of six. Split-base models lift off the element so the pan itself goes in the sink, which matters more than it sounds after an evening of tallow broth.

Most of these have Chinese control panels. Every product page carries an English control-panel guide showing what each button does.
