I’m the self proclaimed queen of small kitchen appliances. I have them all. This multi cooker is great because it does the work of my pressure cooker, crockpot, rice cooker, oven, etc. the first meal I cooked in it was chicken thighs, just incase they came out terrible, I wouldn’t be out too much money. This multicooker cooked them fast, and they came out juicy. Second meal was rice. I followed the super easy instructions and it came out great! And the self standing lid is one of the greatest inventions ever.
