Under pressure for use No you have to work it out – 1 year of use no drama so far I don't follow Manuel I wing it. You must wash the inner pot by hand dish washer will make it peel. Use the taste button for longer time for stews meat on high. I have made fried rice risotto all good I don't recommend plain rice though I use a ceramic pot in microwave with lid works great for any rice. Show details
No spare parts – If you purchase a pressure cooker from Kmart, you should expect that they will discontinue the model so you won’t be able to source lid seal rings or inner bowls in the future. They do not provide access to these items when a model is discontinued or tell you where you might be able to find them with another manufacturer. You are simply buying future landfill items!

Wouldn't recommend anyone to buy – Good bits first: * It cooks my meat fine. You press one button and an hour later, soft meat comes out. Now for the bad: * Does not work well as a basic pressure cooker. * There are 12 preset menus. Only those can be used. Can not cook for manual duration or adjust cooking duration in any way. Having only one preset for selecting manual cooking… Read more
duration would have made the product more useful than having 12. * User manual has errors. It refers to "cooking pressure" as "cooking duration". * User manual is not very helpful. Product interaction design is bad. Took me a while to figure out how to use it.

Not user friendly – Although I do enjoy cooking in this pressure cooker, as other users have stated the ability to control the time of cooking is non existent. You cannot manually control how long you cook for, it’s all preset. Which is ok if there was a table in the instructions showing the duration of each cooking preset. It’s annoying and defeats the purpose of… Read more
using a pressure cooker, which we all know is to save time! I’ve had to stand and wait for the unit to build up enough pressure for the display to show cooking time (then write it down for later). For example, normally I would cook rice in any pressure cooker for 3 minutes then leave it stand for 10-15 minutes. Now I have to be in the vicinity of my cooker to monitor the time and turn the machine off after the 3 minutes, instead of just setting it for 3 minutes and coming back in 20-25 and it’s done. Do yourself a favour and find a unit that you can manually control.
Sorry to hear Jay, we will pass this on to our team who are… Read more
Improvement Over Previous Model. But the manual still sucksssssssss – This pressure cooker is a definitive improvement over the previous model. As it now includes the sorely missed Sauté option. However, as usual, the manual is appalling lol. I have no idea how to manually adjust and set times for Stews for example. The manual advises to “use the Taste key” to adjust duration = Low, Medium or High….wth does that… Read more
even mean lol. High duration? and no timer pops up on the screen until about 5-10 minutes later? Surely there is a manual way to set cooking times without using absurd non-specific “Low, Medium or High” options. Please if someone figures it out let me know lol
5 stars if it had a manual that actually helps. A pressure cooker is pointless if no one knows how to use it.
