I have been able to use this couple of times so far. It comes with nine preset cooking settings that makes cooking more simple. I have used it to make rice, steam and as a slow cooker. It has done a wonderful job. The 6qt. capacity allows you to cook for big family functions. The control panel is easy to use. Cooking as been even. I really like the self standing lid which is a really nice feature. Because the lid is glass you are able to look in which is also a good feature. So far I am very satisfied with this product.
