I have tried several of the instant-pot type multi-cookers. This one is the best ever. The coating on the vessel is high quality; food doesn't stick. The bottom is the right shape to saute before cooking. The air fryer really does work as well. The unit is a bit larger than some, but since this unit replaces so many things, it's not a problem. I made a chicken rice pilaf in 15 minutes plus about 10 minutes of prep (parboiled my basmati rice, cut up and sauteed chicken and the aromatics, put in the curry and spices.) The result was absolutely delicious. I've made it before in other pressure pots but it never came out this well. I will be trying the dehydrator and other functions next but even if it only did air fry and pressure cooking, it would be worth owning. Seriously the best I've tried.
