So at first I was wary of this Multi-cooker, because for the last 5 years I've had another well known competitors multi-cooker.  I luv sit for other peoples fur babies while they vacation.  So believe me when I say I use my multi-cooker ALOT!  So on my last job, I took my new Hamilton Beach 6 qt 9-in-1 cooker.  Well let me tell you, it did not disappoint.  I was able to make my cabbage, potato and bacon recipe, with no splattering on the walls and counter!  I made a roast using the pre-programmed functions.  Perfect roast.  Also, can be loaded in dishwasher, which my other cooker you could not!  Easy to use, easy to cook, easy to clean!  My sister currently is in transition to a new home.  I recommended this cooker.  She loves it!  She can fry, steam, roast...everything using 1 vessel!  You will not be disappointed if you purchase it
