I got the Power Pressure Cooker XL for my wife for Mother's Day. She made a 10 pound chicken dinner with carrots and potatoes. The Power Pressure Cooker XL is so big that we could have had two 10 pound chickens sitting side by side and still have room for all the extras. My wife followed the directions and set the Power Pressure Cooker XL to cook and walked way. In a short time, dinner was ready. We ate a very delicious Mother's Day meal. Then came the clean up. Usually, it would take us about 30 minutes to rise and put the dishes, including the pots and pans, into the dishwasher. With the Power Pressure Cooker XL, it only took us 5 minutes to load the dishwasher and five minutes to clean the inner pot. My wife was totally surprised to learn that the inner pot can brown the food for that added extra flavor before cooking it. That is what made the Mother's Day meal so special. It took less than an hour to prepare and cook our meal than if my wife had to spend hours cooking the chicken in the oven. She said that this was the best Mother's Day gift she ever had, a real time saver. My wife's smile said it all and that it was well worth it.
