Product Information

I knew something wasn’t right so tried again, but this time I added just 1cm of water to the bottom of the pot.

Each pre-set program has a default time and temperature, but these can easily be adjusted if necessary and you can also add a delay timer at this stage. This is really easy, and not only did it mean I didn’t need to dirty a separate frying pan, but it kept all the flavours in the cooking pot.

The lid slots effortlessly into place and there’s a padlock symbol to indicate when it’s in the locked or unlocked position. While browsing the app for recipes I kept coming back to the Nutella brownie recipe and in the end, I couldn’t resist giving it a go. My only complaint would be that it was a little too runny, I’d have preferred it thicker, but having said that, you can just switch the sauté function back on and let it reduce further if you’re not too hungry to wait.

There’s a bit of fiddly cleaning to do around the pressure release valve to make sure it’s free of debris, but this is the same for most electric pressure cookers.The pre-sets give you the confidence to use it more often by providing a starting cook time and temperature that you can adjust to suit your own preferences.
