Its new slimmer body design has lid holders for both left- and right- handed users and the stainless steel main cooking pot is nice and large and has a thick bottom. It also has a pot lifter and a couple of spatulas and a cup measure for rice.

Why I like this pressure cooker.

1. Safety – The pressure cooker is extremely safe to use and has  two different pressure releases- a natural release and a quick release.

2. Looks-   it is very classy, sleek and stylish, not like any boring old pressure cooker.

3. Noise – It is really quiet & makes very little noise while cooking, no startling noises at all.

4. Simplicity of Use:  The control panel display is larger & features a clearer layout. It has 14 easy to use – preset smart programs for cooking. You could also choose the Manual option, should you wish to cook manually.

5. Convenience- it is quite the fill it- shut it- forget it kinds. It will do everything on its own.

6. Cleaning- is extremely easy.

The biggest advantage is that it saves time.

So why not get yourself or your loved one a wonderful gift !
