While the initial idea is good, I really wasn’t satisfied on the performance of this appliance . It took a while to get ready to pressure cook, even using hot water as recommended . We made wings from frozen and they came out soggy like they were boiled in water. As for time savings, I evaluated the time and energy (electrical power) spent making a dish and frankly, it does better in the oven using the convection mode. I guess were not ready to use the technology so we are returning it.
