Aroma Stainless Steel Hot Pot, Silver (ASP-600), 5 quart

Appears well-constructed, as expected from Aroma. The somewhat-compact size is great because it doesn’t take up as much room, but my 3″ wire-net fishing spoons were a bit too large to not be awkward (not able to place spoon horizontally in either moat, had to instead slant the spoons at almost 45 degrees); i can see how the hot pots with a more linear divider running down the middle of the pot might work better, whereas this one enables people to more easily access both compartments from all sides of a four-person table. (We didn’t really need two compartments, as hot sauce was available to use after the product was cooked. If you’re not-strict kosher or vegan, I can see how two compartments might be important.)Definitely gets hot. My gadget-oriented adult son almost got seriously burned because he was confused about how to set it up, so be careful.Moderate weight, no surprises. Moderately easy to clean. I expect it to operate as expected for a long while since Aroma products seem to hold up pretty well. Good basic product that may deserve 4.5 stars, but I wasn’t over the moon about my experience vs occ past experiences over the decades.
