My hubby does most of the cooking. He bought one so he could watch the soccer feed until 5 and then have supper on the table at 6. Its great for some things. Anything along the line of soups and stews. It does a wonderful yogurt.
The rest of the food is over cooked, (my humble opinion.) I will never use it. I do the family celebrations food, the comfort food in the oven and the barbecue stuff. Time and love. It works. It's a safe product. But....I will never use it.
