I cooked very little because it is long and sometimes complex (some recipes) and must monitor the cooking, we just follow the recipe (100 in total, appetizers, entrees and desserts) and allow to heat all alone, more if you are busy cooking automatically turns off and switches to Keep Warm Mode! One can also make our own recipes by switching to manual mode allowing browning, heat, pressure cooking (ultra fast)! About delivery, like Amazon, fast in 2 days instead of 3 as shown !!!
