A:AnswerIt's a counter to tell you how long it's been in Keep Warm mode after finishing cooking. It is actually 0(zero)H, and stands for zero hours. After an hour has passed it changes to 1H, and so on. Hope this helped!
A:AnswerYes, the primary function is pressure cooking. But you can also use it as a slow cooker and there is a saute function, which heats up the pot high enough to use as a fry pan. I haven't used the slow cooker, since my main goal was to cook faster not slower. I have used the saute function to brown meat and saute vegetables and it definitely gets hot enough to do the job. In fact, it seems to heat up faster than the burner on my electric stove. The other buttons seem to be pre-sets for different modes of pressure cooking.
A:AnswerThe lid itself just needs to be cleaned under warm soapy water and washed off well. The seal ring is what you need to remove and wash well to help get the odor out of it. We wash our Pot and seal ring in the dish washer but the actual Base and Lid we just clean with warm soapy water and rinse.
A:AnswerMine is very loose and "wiggly" when the pot's cover IS NOT SEALED... meaning when the cover is off the pot and/or when the pot is not "pressured"
once it's done it's pressure cooking the release valve seems to be "not as wiggly" when I flip to release the steam. Not sure if this helps....but when I first
put the pot together, I was thinking mine was broken because the pressure release valve was so loose & wiggly.
A:AnswerMine takes a long time, too. I hate it. The first time I used it, i thought it was broken. I just plan for the additional time for pressurization.
A:AnswerWe are a family of 7: I have cooked around 5lbs of chicken thighs (12 pieces), made honey sesame chicken and around 5lbs of chicken breast (8 pieces), made Mongolian chicken. (Chicken purchase from COSTCO) Both did not hit the max capacity line, with ALOT more room. Ingredients should not exceed the max line in pot. FYI- If browning chicken first you should brown in batches for best results. I have not cooked my roast yet. This will be my next venture. Roast would follow same suit, as long as it does not exceed max line. I buy my roast from COSTCO too and buy about 6lbs +. This is 2 roast and I would definitely say they would fit. THE POT IS RATHER LARGE. Hope this helps.
A:AnswerFor Perfect hard boiled eggs, use rack, steam 5 mins, turn off / unplug to cool 5 mins., release pressure remove eggs and put in ice water for 5 mins., tap one end on hard surface then the other, roll the egg between the palms of your hands and the shell will fall away.

A:AnswerIt does not have pot lid holder. That is the only issue I have with this, and it’s more of an annoyance than a problem. I’ve discovered that the cup does not fill with water unless you have something cooking for a long time. Even then I’ve had pot roast cooking for an hour and it’s not created any moisture in the cup. It really varies by recipe
A:AnswerI am very dissapointed in the LITTLE cookbock that came with it. Those receipes are not the normal receipes that the average housewife uses... at least have a normal cookbock available .. put an order form in with your product that the buyer can order. I don,t want to have to go to my computer and check out a receipe every time I want to use it.

A:AnswerI thought the cake option was ridiculous but of course I had to try it. I didn’t read any instructions prior to. I just whipped up a Betty Crocker cake mix for testing purposes, poured it in, closed it, plugged it in and hit the cake button! And POOF like magic I had a perfectly moist cake. No need to worry about timing it because it just shuts off automatically when it’s done. I let it stay in there for several hours to cool. I was assuming it was going to stick at least a little bit but it didn’t at all. I flipped it right on to a cake plate and iced it. It was perfect!
