I really wanted to enjoy this machine.  There are no instructions to speak of, just your basic hazard warning, on/off, how to make rice, cereal.  I searched YouTube to see how to operate and what I could make in this multi cooker.  There is an older video of the multi cooker that came with a mini cookbook with examples of what you could make.  Not with the new one.  For me there is excitement as to what I can make when I buy an appliance as it typically comes with examples of what you can make, i.e., slow cooker. But not this one.
