Title: The little steamboat that couldn't
Review: My boyfriend and I both love shabu shabu, so I was thrilled when he bought me this shabu pot as a gift. The first night we used it, we laid out a feast of sliced beef, lamb and vegetables which congregated around our shiny, brand new shabu pot. Starved and salivating, we turned on the shabu pot, tummies aching in anticipation of the meal to come. The water heated, began steaming, and a few tiny bubbles rose to the surface... but simply never broke into a rolling boil. We tried cooking one of the pieces of meat in the water, but it was clear that the water simply wasn't hot enough, and was never going to get hot enough. We ended up cooking our shabu on the stove. Another glitch is that the hot plate kept turning itself off. There were similar complaints about the 2-in-1 version of this product, so I don't think the problem was specific to the one we bought!
