Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read the reviews already written on here, but I didn't have any of those problems. Actually, I bought it directly from the manufacturer, it shipped and arrived within a week, it came with everything it was supposed to come with, including the extras (a recipe book, a users guide, a detailed manual with the cooker specs, and the canning guide). I have never used a pressure cooker before, so before I started winging it with recipes, I used the recipes that came with it- everything worked as expected, and the food came out perfectly. My husband wanted to start eating healthier, which is why I made the investment. Brown rice and quinoa, which are typically more difficult to get right (i.e. the consistency, texture, etc.) come out perfectly, and now I can cook it with the veggies and lean meat all in the same pot- and none of the recipes call for more than 2 tbsps oil (I use olive oil). If you read the instructions, and follow the recipes until you get the hang of cooking with a pressure cooker, you will be very happy.
