I love this pressure cooker! I was looking for something that would make me feel more comfortable using a pressure cooker and I love the feature that directs the steam away from me when I vent the pressure after it is finished cooking! I also really like the wide pot as it makes it easy to stir and serve from. The controls are super simple and intuitive and this was a lot less intimidating to use than I was anticipating. This pressure cooker has all the bells and whistles that I would have expected from a pressure cooker and so far everything I've made in it has turned out perfect and it's super easy to clean as well! There are so many amazing recipes online so I don't think I'll have any problems finding fun dishes to try. If you've been on the fence about getting a pressure cooker, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is just the right size for my husband and I. Typically I use my handy dandy crockpot, but it took up too much space, and it a pain to clean. This pressure cooker is very easy to clean, and doesn’t take up much space. The chili setting is the one I use the most, and it cooks perfectly each time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really cool kitchen tool with a minimal learning curve. The sheer amount of options I had while trying this out made me more excited to cook than I’ve been in a long time, and I’ve still only scratched the surface. This takes up quite a bit of room in a smallish kitchen, but for the results it produces: worth it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took a few months after my review was overdue before I was shipped this Midea 5 quart 8 function pressure cooker from influenster. This cooker came with very basic instructions, but with a little playing around, it was easy to figure out how to use all the functions. The 5 quart inner pot has a nonstick coating, making it a breeze to clean. The pressure release is located at the front, and the steam comes out the back, so no chance of burning fingers is a real plus. It's nice how the pot is wide enough to fit a chicken or roast horizontally. I like how I can make soups start to finish in one pot. The Midea seems to get to pressure faster than my old branded multi cooker, possible due to the wider vs. deeper design. The machiene came with a recipe book and some basic plastic utensils and a steamer insert. The only thing I would like to change is for the lip of the insert pot to be wider or maybe a handle of sorts to remove the pot from the body of the cooker while hot. It is just a very narrow lip around the edge. It would make life easier to remove the inner pot to table than having to transfer contents when done. I've only used this about 10 times now, so I can't speak to the longevity of the machiene, seal, or the finish of the nonstick, but it seems to be a sturdy design. Measures about 1 foot square, so be prepared to make space. I hope this handy cook it all will last many years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wanting something like this for a while and I’m super excited to have it. It’s not just a pressure cooker, you can do so much more! I love that it’s a multipurpose item that is a great addition to my kitchen. It’s also super easy!
