I use it primarily as a "Mongolian hot pot". It heats evenly and fast with light off to indicate the set temperature has reached. It then maintains at the temperature you set. The capacity of this pot is well suited for four to six people. I also did some grill on it. It works as well. At beginning, I was a little concerned about the "Nonstick cooking surface". Since it is very easy to clean, you do not need to apply too much force on the surface. After eight months use, "Nonstick cooking surface" holds well. I do not see any sigh of scratch or wore out.

I am single and like a good T-bone or strip steak once and a while, but firing up the outside barbecue has become a real pain when all I want is one steak.
This is the answer; cooked two strip steaks and one boneless pork chop on it after I seasoned the grill (per instructions) with Pam, and they were great. Both the dog and I enjoyed them.
When I fist test started it, I turned it on high and gave it a few seconds and Wow!
this baby heats up fast and cooks as fast as a gas barbecue.
I cleaned the pan up as I do any non stick appliance (soak, brush and dish rag clean) as any rough pads or metal objects will do the surface in, even setting it in a metal wire dry rack.
Great buy.
Addendum:
I have purchased another pot as backup just in case the one I am using wears out; this is something I do with most small appliances I really like.
A note: because this is a pot grill, you can add water or beer, or whatever to moisten up the meat you are... Read more

The 6 in 1 super pot is a great item to have in your kitchen. The down side,the item arrived broken. I contacted Aroma and Aroma had me ship it back to them. They paid for UPS service,pick up at my front door 24 hours after I called to tell them of them damage. Had my new Aroma pot with in 7 days. Aroma is one great company to deal with when problems arrive.
