This multicooker is big enough for you family meals and get togethers. That you can brown and saute right in it is such a big time saver plus no dirty pans. I loved making my chicken and veggies in this weekend. Cut up all the veggies, browned the chicken than added veggies, a can of diced tomatoes and some balsamic vinegar and let it slow cook while I did some of my honey do list. The chicken turned out perfect! Makes your day a little easier. I did get this free in exchange for an honest review and I would say this thing is near perfect.
