- Is the Aoibox 12L worth it for a small restaurant?
- If you batch-cook rice, stews or soup for 15 to 25 covers at a time, the 12.7-quart capacity and 1600W element make it a practical single unit. For smaller daily volumes, a 6- to 8-quart home cooker is cheaper and easier to store.
- How many people does it actually serve?
- The manufacturer rates it for 15 to 25 people per batch, based on a 12.7-quart pot. Real servings depend on the dish; a stew stretches further than a dense rice batch.
- Does it work on standard US outlets?
- It is a 120V unit, so it runs on standard US household or commercial outlets. A 1600W draw means you should avoid sharing a circuit with other high-draw appliances.
- What can I cook with the 22 presets?
- The presets cover rice, stew, soup and bread among other programs, and you can override time and temperature manually. Manual mode is the better choice for recipes that don't match a preset.
- Can I set it to cook overnight?
- Yes. The 24-hour delay timer lets you load ingredients and schedule the start. Keep perishable ingredients refrigerated until cooking begins.
- When is the best time to buy?
- The best new price was $203.00 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, with two stores listing it new. Compare both listings before buying, since large appliances often see holiday discounts.
