Konka Xiaohuaxian Multifunction Mini Electric Hot Pot 4L KDZG-4000-L | Multifunction · From One to a Small Household

No open flames allowed in the shared kitchen, but bring this pot to the table and the meal is just as lively.

When you'd use it: three to five of you round it at the weekend, dipping tripe and prawn paste while the broth bubbles away; on your own, a bowl of tomato and egg noodles or a seafood casserole; when you fancy some meat, it can even manage a steak.

Features: the pot and base are separate, so after eating you take the pot to the sink to wash and just wipe the base – no wrestling a whole appliance away from the water. Heat is set with the temperature slider below the panel, pushed left or right through off, keep warm, low, medium and high, so it handles both slow-simmered rich soups and fast stir-fries and hotpot. The base has a ring heating element at 1300W, so the broth comes to the boil quickly. The inner pot is 304 stainless steel (as stated in the manufacturer's manual) with no non-stick coating, so it resists scratches, lasts well and rinses clean after serving; when making congee or frying, use low heat and stir often or add a little more oil to stop food sticking. The tempered glass lid lets you see into the pot, the plated handles are comfortable to hold, the body has a heat-resistant casing, and there is boil-dry cut-off protection.

What it solves: flat kitchens have few hobs and limits on open flames, and hotpot usually means fighting over sockets – plug this one in and dinner is on, and the pot lifts off to wash like an ordinary pan, so taking turns with flatmates is no trouble.
