I received this Black and Decker Multi-cooker free to test and review. I am absolutely so impressed with all the wonderful functions this appliance affords novice cooks like myself. After receiving this item, I quickly found a recipe that my family would enjoy and that would allow for me to test out the multitude of functions the multi-cooker allows for. I found a recipe for Rootbeer pulled pork which required an 8 hour low cook speed or 4 hour high speed. I chose to cook on high. I served with sauteed vegetables. This cooker did it all with ease. The meat was so tender it pulled apart with a fork and it cooked evenly and quickly. The vegetables had such a wonderful flavor and it was such an easy process with this cooker. From novice to more experienced chefs, this Black and Decker multi-cooker is a must have in the kitchen and cuts down on the number of appliances you have to fit on your shelf.
