Great for big families. So easy to set up. All the instructions that are included thoroughly go step by step for every function. Steamer basket, measuring cup, & serving spoon are all included. I started out simple and made rice for orange chicken, and it cooked it perfectly. No crunch at all (that’s an issue I have on the stove). The exterior of the unit doesn’t get hot to the touch either, which is great for when kids want to help. I’ve gone more advanced and have made a soup too, and all the buttons and functions are easy to navigate and make starting a batch super simple. Has a nice size screen as well. And when all is said and done it’s such an easy appliance to clean. This multi cooker is a fantastic appliance.
