You can cook many yummy chinese soups with a single large soup pot.

But there are some kitchen appliances that can make chinese soup making easier.

You may even already have some of these soup cookers at home.

They were not specifically designed to cook chinese soups (except the chinese double-boiler) but hey, who cares as long as they can do the job.

Let me introduce a few of them.

The slow Cooker
Also known as the crock pot, this is like my most favourite pot for making chinese soups. It is especially good for long simmering soup. Click slow cooker

The Thermal Cooker
This is like the coolest energy saving soup pot. It uses trapped heat to cook. Most people under-use it to keep food warm. Click thermal cooker for more information.

The Chinese Double Boiler
Actually more of a jar than a boiler or pot, this neat ceramic soup pot is used to cook nourishing tonics by double boiling. Click chinese double boiler for more information.

The Rice Cooker
A versatile kitchen appliance for cooking rice, congee and chinese soups. Click rice cooker for more information.
