I was afraid of pressure cookers...now I'm not
This thing is AMAZING. Let me preface my review by saying I'm afraid of pressure cookers. My dad had an old school one when I was young, and let's say my memories of it are terrifying. My husband had wanted one to make carnitas in for a while, and I finally got this one for his birthday. When he first opened it, I was reluctant to even be in the house when he used it. After a few meals with it, I started to ease my anxiety and grabbed the manual to try it out for myself. Hands shaking, I followed the instructions, and after a few hot buttons pushes I was cooking. I stepped back and watched as it quickly and quieter cooked chicken and rice. After a short time, it was done, and I was overwhelmingly relieved I didn't cause any accidents. The chicken was amazing and cleaned up took less than 5min. Overall it was a great purchase, and I was pleased with the instructions being so easy to follow.
