I'm no electrician, but my experience has been that items that don't pull a lot of electricity (e.g., a laptop or a cell-phone charger) work fine with adapters. Unfortunately, a cooking pot is NOT such an item.

IMPORTANT: Any appliance that needs heat will probably NOT work, even with an adapter. A family member tried to use her US-made flat iron with an adapter in Europe. It burned out the iron. So, unfortunately, I think trying to use this pot with an adapter might be DANGEROUS.

I brought my pressure cooker to South America and had to buy an EXTREMELY bulky and somewhat expensive (~$100) converter for it once I got here -- however, using the converter it works like a charm. For safety reasons, I'd take a picture of the wattage/voltage sticker on the back and head to an electronics store to ask what kind of converter you'd need. That's what I ended up doing and it has been working well for me so far. Considering I can't get a pressure cooker here very easily and I got this model on sale for $40, I can't complain too much about the extra expense.

The sticker on the item says 120V. So it would not work, voltage converter needed.
