No, not a pourer. That's connected to it. A sort of advaced pressure cooker with
a stainless steel bucket in it. Throw the dry stuff in the buckett. Add water.
Switch on the program you want. It heats, it stirs, it cools. When the soup is
at the temperature that has been set for pouring supplements can be added. It
keeps that temperature until the pouring is finished and you switch off. It
prints a fantastic long stretch of paper with all the details of the process,
especially if you have lunch in the meantime (recording every minute or so).
Ours can make 9 liters.
Media Processor maybe?

stew.
