Keeping my feet dry on this one, no  thanks to @MacKenzie!  The KK shopping channel still works on me but my current interest is @jeffshoaf's Ninja combo grill and air fryer.  Another few months of resistance and I will feel I deserve it when I finally get my hands on one.  

Step up and get both like I did! I've had the Vermicular for a while now. It's my go-to for sauces and some veggies.

I bought the vermecular komado and made some minestrone soup in it using no water and it came out really good, also makes the best rice I’ve ever had! In the book it says cut the veggies into 1/4 in. Pieces for the minestrone soup but I cut mine into 1/2 in. And low and behold it does make its own liquid veggie soup. You can also steam fry veggies in it.

Just a short add on about the vermicular cooker. “Instant“makes one similar to the vermicular but I don’t think the lid fits as tightly as the vermicular. It’s also not as expensive. 
I wanted a bigger pot for the vermicular but when I called them about a larger pot they never got back to me. I think I found one that would work but they are pretty expensive and didn’t want to buy it unless I knew for sure that it would work with the electric kamado. Anyway I hope everybody here is happy and healthy and having a great day!

We love our Vermicular Musui Kamado, and use it frequently. Also, as part of the cohort that can afford a Komodo Kamado, we did not blink at buying a new Vermicular Kamado (base) after our original touch display failed after four years.

They may be Japanese, but they're not Toyota. Anyone who is on the fence over price needs to accept that the $340 (USD) Kamado base is potentially a purchase every three years. If someone's reaction is "screw them!" I understand.

While I can be dispassionate enough to repurchase the base, I'm also fairly pissed off that they didn't at least volunteer a technical description of what is typically wrong, and what they'd do under warranty. Although, my own experience is that they replace rather than repair. While I appreciated the new unit, this is how we're destroying the planet.

That is disappointing to hear, I would hope they would stand behind the unit for a longer period. $340 US is like $500+ Canadian. I won't be happy if I don't get a much longer use than 3 years out of it.

Recently I've had reason to contact Vermicular about my casserole and I had a fantastic response from Vermicular.  I could be more happy with their support.
