Review: If you’ve used an Instant Pot like appliance in the past, you’ll likely have no issues using this. It’s got all the standard features and works pretty much the same. However, if you’re a first time user, the included directions are a little sparse. For instance, there is no information on the different display alerts so when the pressure cooking finishes and it goes to the warm setting, there is nothing in the instructions that tell you what the display letters mean. You’ll be sort of winging it on your first use for each setting.Some Instant Pot appliances have burn notices. My initial cook was a rice dish with quite a bit of liquid, so I didn’t see anything like that on my first cook with it. I may not find that to be an issue until I make something a bit more ingredient heavy.The display itself is very easy to read and the buttons are large, clearly labeled and easy to push. The lid feels a little less secure than a traditional Instant Pot, but it does lock and the pressure seal works. The manual pressure release is a bit more dangerous on this model as the steam comes right out where your hand is positioned to release. So be very careful when releasing. I would suggest using an oven glove and wooden spoon to turn the valve.Cleaning is super easy. The inside comes out and can be washed with warm water and a gentle soap. As with any non-stick surface, use a soft rag or sponge to remove any residual food. I love that the cord comes out of the machine completely. So I can store the cord inside the machine instead of trying to find a way to wrap and contain it. It’s fairly large and actually doesn’t fit into any of my cabinets, so I’m storing it on my counter with other larger appliances I have (air fryer and KitchenAid mixer).All in all, this is a good original Instant Pot alternative. The price is reasonable for the number of appliances it replaces (slow cooker, rice cooker, pressure cooker). I’ll be using it regularly.

Review: This is my first experience using these pressure pots so I didn’t know anything about them except they cook food faster. I read the instructions but they weren’t really beginner friendly. I didn’t immediately catch on how the lid attaches and locks and I had to search through the directions for how much I could put in it. I couldn’t find any explanation for the digital codes (dd, 0000) that showed on the display when it was done. I guess it’s just to let you know the time is up or the pressure is safe to open.I cooked up some short ribs in 40 minutes (meat/stew setting plus 10 min) and they came out perfect. I tried a roast with veggies too and it was amazing how much kitchen time it saved me! It was easy to clean up and the only real problem I ran into was not knowing how to clean the lid. There was no information and I was so worried about yuck food getting up into the seal area. Well, I finally figured out that the sealed splatter shield thing can just be pulled off. Now I can clean it thoroughly. Overall, once I got to understand this pot, it became fairly easy and quick to use. It’s a breeze to clean, thanks to the removable, nonstick inner pot. It’s also easy to store because the plug is fully removable and can be stored inside the pot.

Review: Edit: Knocking off two stars because while a typical cooker like this will have two options for managing steam, either pressure or steam, this one has those plus if you go too far past pressure it releases steam again. And you don’t know if it’s set right until you get it steaming. Managing that should be core cooker functionality.My favorite thing about this pressure cooker is the non stick liner. I have one of the name brand versions of these and it’s very difficult to get clean.The lid is a little diffuser to line up to latch.Once it’s latched it’s fine.The instructions didn’t cover everything but they explained when to use high or low pressure. That was critical since the high pressure option can’t go under 10 minutes but the low pressure could.I have an egg basket from another electric pressure cooker which worked fine in this one.The eggs I hard boiled turned out perfectly, despite some initial issues due to unfamiliarity.

Review: So far we’ve used this multi-cooker twice, once for pressure cooking and once for sautéing and slow cooking. The food has turned out great both times. I’ve never used a pressure cooker but have been curious about them for a long time. My biggest reason for not using them is that I’m worried about the steam building up too much and causing an accident. As long as you lock the lid on this cooker and you turn the steam knob, you’ll be fine. My biggest concern is that the knob feels very loose. It worked fine but I don’t know if that’s how pressure cookers are supposed to work. It released the steam well enough when the food was done.For our pressure coooking test we made a beef tongue. These can be notorious for taking hours to cook. In two hours it was super tender and fell apart deliciously. For our next test, I sautéed some pork meat (pictured) and then slow cooked it in salsa. Again, no complaints at all about the cook.Also, I really thought that the pork roast wasn’t going to all fit and it did and there was room for more. So it looks small but holds a lot.
