It's one of the only electric ones out there with a stainless insert. It also functions as a slow cooker and a rice cooker so you have multi functions and can get rid of some of those other pots or put them away for holiday cooking.

There are so many advantages to pressure cooking. It's quick and you can throw in frozen poultry and not have to worry about poisoning yourself. It was great to be able to come home from work, whip some frozen chicken breasts out of the freezer, throw them in the pot with some picante sauce and have dinner in 15 minutes.

I wish I still cooked on a regular basis.
