besides the annoying loud noises it creates while cooking, everything else is great! if dealing with loud sound for 15 min can save me 2 hours I'll do it in a heart beat, plus the price is so affordable and it is so easy to clean! I am so glad I got the stainless steel, it's only like 20 bucks more but so much more in the long run! can't be happier with the product and definitely going to use it again and again.
