I use mine almost constantly, I make stews, made black beans then arlier in the week.i use it for rice a lot! I am sure more. I also love that I can brown the meat, leave it there and move on! I wouldn’t be happy without it in the kitchen!

There was a bit of a learning curve, but finding answers was easy.
