We have used the various features on this multi cooker.  We began with the sauté feature to brown chicken and then used the soup feature to produce a wonderful soup with no fear of boil over or running dry.  The other features also worked well without fuss or worry.  The best feature of this muti cooker is that it does not heat up the kitchen which here in the Deep South is most important.
