- Can it pressure cook or brown meat?
- No. It has seven preset programs but no pressure mode and no saute or browning function. Brown meat in a separate pan first if a recipe needs it.
- How much cooked food does 10 cups hold?
- About 10 cups of cooked rice or porridge, roughly enough for two to three servings. It is not sized for large families.
- Does the timer delay the start or just count down?
- The timer counts down the set cooking time and switches off when done. Check the manual for whether a delayed start is supported.
- Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?
- The nonstick-style inner pot should be hand washed to protect the coating. The plastic lid wipes clean with a damp cloth.
- How does it compare with a full-size multi-cooker?
- It is smaller and cheaper in features: no pressure cooking, no saute and lower power. A full-size multi-cooker does more but takes more counter space.
- What can I cook in it?
- Rice, porridge, soups, steamed vegetables and reheated leftovers. Avoid recipes that need searing, pressure or high heat.
