I just received this cooker yesterday and have yet to cook in it, but it's cuter than a bug's ear! If they went to so much trouble to make it look this nice, then I suspect it also works well.  Wanted to add more to this review since I've now had time to use this product. It well deserves a five five star rating! I use this all the time now!!! It's multi-purpose, and doesn't burn food, plus it cleans easily. Cook and warm settings are wonderful, but a third offsetting would make it even better so I wouldn't have to plug and unplug every use.
