Paste cookers or better "saucier", under the SEB and Tefal brand
name are sold everywhere in France. Overhere in Amsterdam they are
sold by :

A saucier will set you back about $75 to $85. Today's models feature
an eggtimer function and they come in an ugly brown. An expensive
alternative to the saucier is the Vorwerk Thermomix that acts also
as a scale and has a precise temperature regulation and a timer. I
do not know suppliers, they cost $400+. I have seen one in the
British library workshop they might help you further.
