Where have I been? This is great! Super fast meals. Quick, and easy enough to make myself sweet potatoes even though I'll be the only one eating it. Also great for, dinner's ready and I forgot the side. Makes soups super quick and chicken stock is really simple. I don't have to babysit it for hours to get great flavor. Love using this for quick mashed potatoes. The recipe book is pretty good and covers most of what I can think of, Google gives me cooking time for anything else (whole chicken in 25 minutes). Reheats a rotisserie chicken or roast in about a min without drying it out! Disappointed that split pea soup is a no-no, but I'll survive. I am 35 years old with 5 kids. I use this 3+ times per week. Don't know how I've never heard how great these are. I did a pork loin in the crockpot and one in here just to compare. In a blind taste test the pressure cooker won unanimously!
