I have the 6 qt. electric pressure cooker. I love how easy it is to use. I never used the stove top version, my Mom does to this day. I make my spaghetti sauce in it. Let it cook on low pressure for about 30 minutes. It comes out tasting like it was simmered for hours on the stop top. I also makes stews, cabbage rolls, pulled pork, even rabbit spaghetti in it.
