Wow what a response. Thanks to you all who looked at my post. Nicola your version the Vinod, looks really nice, and more like the thermoserver. The one I trialed looked more like the picture that Cornish cream posted, that was from the UK. My test results, were: at 6.10pm I boiled the kettle with 2L water and put 1L into each pot and used a jam making thermometer to test the temp of the water. The thermoserver read 90deg and the Indian pot 89deg. At 8.00pm the thermoserver 54deg, the Indian 68deg. At 9.25pm thermoserver 40 deg and Indian 54deg. I had to make a visit to the toilet at 1am. so thought I would do a test then and the thermoserver 28deg and the Indian 40 deg. I took the thermometer back to 0 in between testing each pot by plunging it into cold water, to make sure each started at the same point. The Indian pot certainly retained the heat for longer.
Then the next day I did a test for the cold. At 5.35 pm I made a batch of fruity dream from the ED cook book and put 1/2 in each pot, and tested both at 6.35pm and 7.40pm these were tested by taste and not thermometer, and by 7.40pm the batch in the Indian pot certainly tasted cooler than the batch in the thermoserver. Although they had both retained their shape.
I just thought if doing a dinner party I may need more than one thermoserver, and there are only so many demos you can host to get an extra thermoserver. Hope this maybe of help to you. Yes I think most indian grocery stores would sell these pots. Cheers.

Herbal posted a question in june 2010 requesting where to buy something like a thermoserver, and very happy jan suggested to try an indian grocery shop. Wanting to find something similar myself, I went into one today and they sell an insulated casserole which I have just purchased for $18.00. The sales man said it would keep food hot for may hours, so i, am currently doing a temp/length of time hot trial between it and the thermoserver. Will let you know how it went.

sadly our Jordie and Sadie are no longer with us, due old age, but I used to make their food and biscuits. Their main food was 1kg of roo (kangaroo or meat of your choice) minced into a big pot, just cover with water and bring to the boil. Once at the boil add a 1 kg bag of mixed veg, I used to save all my veg peelings and off cuts from the end of the carrots etc. (try not to use too many potato or onion peelings) putting them into a bag in the freezer. If I didn't have enough I'd buy a 1 kg bag of mixed veg home brand quality Add a clove or two of Garlic, When this came to the boil, I would add a lge bag of macaroni/rice , 500gms turn off the cooker put a lid on the pot and let the macaroni/rice absorb the cooking juice. Store in large ice cream cont in freezer and defrost as needed.

Glad your mash turned out ok, I didn't quite have the 1kg amount of potatoes they said to use in the EDC, (about 920gms), but forgot to cut back a bit on the liquid, so ended up with a bit sloppy mash, another lesson learnt. Also in my EDC it doesn't say to use  so it was obviously cutting my spuds up more as it was also cooking them, so by the time the cooking time had been reached, they were already quite mushy in the bowl.

Thanks, thought that was the problem, Live and Learn. Lots of learning to do here, but lots of fun along the way.

Hi Sig, I don't have the book you are referring to, but it could be due to the cut of lamb they are suggesting you use, some cuts of meat require long slow cooking, which I guess this cut of meat requires, maybe try using chicken instead. Good luck,

Have now got my TM and haven't stopped trying out recipes, what a fantastic machine. Thought I would be clever and make double quantity of veg stock concentrate and freeze 1 tab spoon portions in ice cube trays, but after 2 days in freezer it's still not frozen, would that be due to the high salt concentration in it? maybe not so clever after all

Have just got the call that my TM is arriving on Sunday, I have spent the last week since ordering it looking through the forum (which has blown me away how you all help one another) and have so may recipes that I want to try, I don't know how I am going to fit them all in.
Happy cooking to you all.

Just purchased my TM and waiting on delivery. Was so impressed at the last two demos I went to, now holding my own on the weekend, and can't wait for mine to arrive so I can get cracking on making some fantastic meals.
