Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

So I'm just a guy who has never used a pressure cooker before and bought this for the wife thinking she might be interested in it. I'm not a good cook by any means, but one quality I do have is the ability to read, which is what I did with the manual for this before I used it. I also read a LOT of reviews before I buy anything, and I'm noticing that people either loved this thing, or hated it. And for the most part (aside for missing pieces and that does suck) all of these negative reviews seem to have not used the instructions at all. For example, you'll see a lot of people complain about food sticking to the pot, but that's probably because they didn't season the pot which is literally STEP NUMBER 1 in the manual to do before you cook anything in it. Also, there are steps in the manual to fix literally almost everything people have complained about here. And it's all simple little 10 second fixes too. This thing works perfectly fine. I mean I, a horrible cook, just made my first pot roast in about 40 minutes total (15 minutes of prep) and it came out amazing (according to my children). I had no business cooking mind you but I was trying to give the wife a break. If you look at other pressure cookers you can kind of put the pieces together yourself. Almost all other pressure cooker ratings are through the roof except for this one, which happens to be the only one with an infomercial. Which means people who don't normally use a pressure cooker would likely buy this. And said people are not familiar with the product. I'm just guessing here, but that just common sense. So far we are more than happy with this product, and my wife is all about me cooking with it too. Please give this a shot, but PLEASE read the instructions.
