It keeps it hot. I think they vary as to the length of time that the food stays warm ~ I know that some are 4 hours, some are longer.
I don't always sleep very well and my house gets cold in winter. They're great to be able to use so I can take them upstairs and curl up in bed, knowing I don't have to freeze at 3am if I'm hungry trying to get something hot (and not junk) to eat.

Thank you. It's important for hot food to be hot. I'm going to look into getting one.
What have you cooked recently that turned out well?

That sounds pretty good!
What is a remoska? (Sorry, I haven't read all of this thread. If you've already described it, please send me back a few pages.)

Can't recall if I said what it was before. There's a site here that will explain (with images) about a Remoska. I bought the 'grand' a couple of months back after debating for years as to whether it was a good idea or not (the deciding factor was that it was about £30 cheaper because of a damaged box!) and love it ~ it's wonderful for cooking a whole roast chicken in. My mother gave me her 'baby' because she didn't like it or use it or whatever. When I do my rice dish, I start of the celery, pepper, chilli and onion in the baby and then transfer it to the grand when I add the rice and other ingredients. Means I have enough for a several meals.

Cool. Thanks for the link. It reminds me of a pressure cooker minus the need for a range to heat it up.
Making enough for several meals is the way to go. When I eat better, it's because I make sure and do that. When I lapse and don't cook a big meal on Sunday, then I don't eat as well at work all week.

I guess it is a bit like a pressure cooker in looks, but it's far removed from one. I never really got on with pressure cookers for some reason.

Sharon-Marie, was thinking of you today as I was starting my barley bread. Did you ever get to making it? I shall probably think of you tomorrow when I finish it too! I'm making it in a different way though, so hoping it turns out.
Aga, it only took me almost 2 months to answer this. 
My apologies for that.
No, I never did make it . . . when we first discussed it, I found my time priorities being taken up with other things.
And I've since have eliminated gluten-foods from my diet . . . and sadly enough, barley has gluten in it. ::heavy sigh::
Oh well.
BTW, I'm really enjoying your new thread over in Health and Fitness!

I was just about to reply to the other thread, so I'll do it here.
Tonight, I'm going to make a new brownie recipe... using black beans!! Oh, and there's no flour or sugar, either, but everyone raves that these are good. So I'll fix these and let y'all know. 
Brownies...made from black beans????? 
If you ever make them for me, Michelle, don't tell me they're from black beans. 
Will do!
Actually, I just put them in the oven, but had to do a taste-test first. Oh my gosh, you'd have no clue they're made from brownies!! It tastes like chocolate cake (the batter's a little thin for me to call it a brownie). But I'll tweak it!

). Very easy and foolproof and tastes pretty good (even if I say so myself!).
