this is Charlie wife. I am the one that uses the cooker, He just eats the food. LOL. It is the best thing I have ever bought. It saves me so much time and actually I have given away so many other small appliances. my grille my George foreman, my crock pot. my electric fryer. steamer and a few others that cluttered my cabinets. Thanks so much Power pressure cooker has really change my life. I love to cook always have, This just makes it easier and more fun for me. I try to see just what all I can do with it, so far I haven't found anything I want to cook that I can't do with my PP cooker.
