My Chinese Recipes - Using a Vacuum Cooker

A vacuum cooker in general consists of two parts: a steel inner pot and an outer insulation pot. When using the vacuum cooker, we cook the food with the inner pot. By cooking with the normal way for a period of time, we then move the inner pot immediately into the outer insulation pot.

The outer insulation is designed to minimize the loss of heat. It insulates the food inside from the external environment. The food inside will have a long time being kept at high temperature.
