Perfect for cook a dish that is cooked slowly. I tested several recipes for stews and chili but the best it was a lamb tagine with prunes and apricots. What is very good is that the pot is not secured to the heating part. So we can fry the meat and onions on the front gas cook them a few hours mode I. The perfectly cooked meat and quietly until it becomes totally soft. Then it's still hot. One can even wear either the flatbed or the set and plug leaving the mode remains warm. There are two buttons. One way to select stop or I or II mode (warmer) and the fourth is keep warm. The second button is the timer. It turns to + time increases (to more than 15 hours !!) you turn to - it even decreases to 5 minutes. I am absolutely satisfied with this pressure-cooker. Could be improved by having a thermostat and instead I or II would choose the temperature. But here it is so simple and practical that my daughters are still in primary already know how to use and do not risk being wrong without I needed to explain anything. Ah, if a small defect which often happens with this type of electrical product that heats. There is a new plastic smell that heats not pleasant at first recipes. It's not the pot that smells but the heater. it does not pass at all in the dish but it smells in the kitchen.
