Did you know that wire thingy on the left hand side is actually a holder for a lid? Stick the lip of the lid in it on it's side and gravity just holds it in place.

GF is taiwanese and we use this thing multiple times a day. We bought these little two lid pots for it.something like this??

The whole pot can fit inside the Tatung and heat the inside in like, 20 minutes via steam, without actually exposing the inside to any steam. We have a soup station in our fridge where we keep pre-chopped veggies, marinaded meats, pastes, you name it. You can break a bunch of noodles into the pot, add whatever veg/meat/shrimp/spices/paste you want. Throw in some egg whites if you want. Cheese? Milk if you want chowders. Whatever you want. Two of the little measuring cups of water and hit the button. Prepaing the pot takes less than a minute. And 20 minutes later you have amazing soup.

It makes low calorie cooking so, so, so dramatically easy. I'm in freaking love with my indestructible tatung.

I haven't used this one for anything as complex, but my grandma used a larger one for hot pot. This one is much smaller than the normal red sided one, so you can't cook a lot in it. I use it mainly for rice and as a steamer for literally anything.

I'd go looking for the little pots. I think your's is the same size as mine. We just make single serving soups with it which is why it's so great. Forinstance ATM I'm thinking I do in fact feel like a little nourishment. I'm going to spend about 1 minute and make some tom yum soup. If you go to china town in any suitably large city, or really any Chinese type grocery store, you'll find these little double lid ceramic glazed pots. We do have a bigger one that takes up almost the entire tatung. I used that to cook ribs and it was pretty damn perfect.

Our smaller ones are the perfect size. We actually bought one for a friend of our's that is even smaller and fits in her instant pot.
