all the advantages of the pressure cooker plus a slow cooker function, the possibility of delayed cooking, keeping warm, stopping the end of cooking: you can forget it !! nothing is burning, you still have to consider the fact that the continuous firing when the program is complete and integrate it into the cooking time !! removable cooking vessel and therefore very easy to clean shot; opening the cover rests on the handles of the machine which is handy because you do not always know where to drop the pressure cooker lids when they are hot and filled with steam .... the fact that Power is possible firstly to free the hob and to use it outside, balcony, terrace .... for that is steam, it is necessary if we want to release it quickly stop the cooking and there is no miracle must be placed under the hood, either outside .... regarding programs soups and rice no problems for others I think it takes time to adjust cooking as vegetables and or quantities, for now I prefer to manage time, temperature and pressure .... this is a very handy device must be left on the work plan if we want take full advantage of it comes with a manual in French .... very detailed some of the proposed recipes are useful for everyday, but any recipes are adaptable to the camera !! I recommend it.
