Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We are sending ours back. It's not nearly as versatile as we had hoped for, and ultimately it's just a pressure cooker. The rice function is crap. When you sautee you need to be very careful that it's completely de-glazed, otherwise the burn warning goes off no matter how much water you add for the pressure cook... then you add so much water that any sauce or broth is watered down! The lid smells. It reeks, It cannot be helped. I used practically boiling water to clean it. I removed the seal, the pressure cover, the steam cover. All of it. Soap, soaking in vinegar, everything. Walked into our kitchen and when I walked past it smelled foul. Nope. If I have to go through that just to clean it, then the time savings to pressure cook is just not worth the exchange for a watered down flavor. THUMBS DOWN- over-hyped. Sending it back today and getting a multi-cooker! UPDATE- as we were packaging up to return... discovered a CRACK on the lid! We have had our slow cooker for at least 15 years! We haven't even had this thing for two weeks. What a piece of junk.
