This pressure cooker has beyond exceeded my expectations. I have used plenty of pressure cookers and am very pleased but this one is truly next level. The amount of things you can do with this is kind blowing. I love that I can cook my veggies and meats in 1 pot at the same time. My favorite thing so far is to steam and crisp baked potatoes. They came out fully cooked in the middle while being nice and crisp on the outside. It came with very easy to follow instructions which took all of the guess work out of the entire meal. My only complaint is the base is a little large. I understand it is to keep it from tipping with the heavy lid but It does make storing a little difficult. Never the less, it does so much that I easily look past it. I highly recommend this to anyone I talk to. Truly anyone even the non skilled cooks can make a delicious meal in this.
