This is a thermal cooker that functions similarly to a Shuttle Chef. The inner glass lid is broken, but I've been using a substitute lid, and it's worked without any problems. I've even used aluminum foil as a lid, and the food still turned out fine. Other than that, there's no damage or dirt that would hinder its use. However, I may have overlooked something, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. Please only purchase if you understand the above. I will package and ship it simply, using bubble wrap and other cushioning materials.
