I love this cooker- you can create many things in one. My favorite feature was being able to use it as a Dutch oven as well and finish baking a recipe in the oven! I took off one star because it is very hard to find recipes to use for it. I had to adapt my recipe for the cooker. I think the learning curve will straighten out the more I use it, but there’s not much info out there and there are so many ninjas that googling isn’t always helpful.
