This is an extremely versatile appliance.  I have a family of 4 and it does so much!  I love that I can cook my entire meal in it - from searing to cooking - and not have many other dishes.  I love it as a rice cooker.  It's been perfect every time.  It can be a bit tricky to learn at first, but I'm getting the hang of it.  It's a really nice size for a family of 4, especially for soups, chili, shredded meat, etc.  Totally recommend!
