- [Usage Secret]
- [Water in Outer Pot] The biggest feature is 'indirect heating'. Put water (1-
- cups) in the outer pot, place the inner pot (or heatproof dish) directly inside.
- [Switch On] Just press the lever down (simple cook/keep-warm structure).
- [Leave-it-alone Cooking] When outer water evaporates, it automatically switches to keep-warm with a 'click'. No worrying about burning or watching the fire. Braised pork (Lu Rou), rice cooking, reheating buns—all done with this one pot.

Trivia
[For Everyone] Said to be modeled after Japanese Toshiba rice cookers, but uniquely evolved in Taiwan (steam type). With zero microcomputers and an analog structure, it 'never breaks' and is often passed from parent to child over decades. Green and red are traditional colors; a must-have gadget Taiwan maniacs buy eagerly.
