Nothing spells comfort more than coming home to a hot and nutritious meal, but what if you’re constantly on the go? Thermos believes great food should be accessible anywhere, and at any time. That’s why they created their award-winning Shuttle Chef , a thermal cooker that features the Thermos brand’s revolutionary vacuum insulation technology. Just put all your ingredients in the inner cooking pot, bring it to a boil, then return it to the vacuum-insulated outer pot and leave it to cook. When you’re ready to eat, simply pop open the Shuttle Chef ® and tuck into your warm, healthy and flavoursome dish. At $290, from major department stores.
