The Multi Function Pressure Cooker works great once you put the cover on right. At first I could not figured out by the instruction booklet how the cover sit on top of the pot so it is on tightly. Consequently, I think I scrape the edge of the pot so some of the black specks came off.

Love this pressure cooker. First time using a pressure cooker and the Hamilton Beach pressure cooker is easy to use. I made a steak. Used the browning feature, then put on the rack. Add a couple cups or water. The steak was so tender. It was great. I am making a list of foods to make in the pressure cooker. It is easy to use and clean up. I have always wanted a pressure cooker and it did not let me down. The 6 qt Multi function cooker by Hamilton Beach was my choice. I like you can brown and then cook in one container or do stews or soups. If you are looking for Pressure Cooker, I suggest you get this one.

I started using this Hamilton Beach electric pressure cooker last month. Being able to use one pot for sauteing vegetables, browning meats, and pressure cooking whole meals in one pan has seriously cut down on the dishes we do. There are electric pressure cooker accessories online, that easily allow you to put your meal in layers. First meal was a rice pilaf with chopped veggies, and a delicious steamed salmon in a second layer. I was able to cook both dishes at once, and didn’t have to tend to them once I pushed the button. It was well received by the family. 5 stars! Works great with wild rice too. I made a chili in it as well (sauted onions, garlic, then browned meat in pot insert) dirtying only the one pot. Then added tomatoes, beans, etc. The pot insert is so easy to clean.This can replace your slow cooker, rice steamer, and stove top pressure cooker. There are even cake and bread recipes online I am anxious to try. Selecting the pressure cooker mode cuts your cooking time 50-70%. I take a few minutes to prep all ingredients in the pot, and cover the top, and put in the refrigerator in the afternoon. This only takes a few minutes. When it is almost time for the family to get home from work, I turn on the pressure cooker, and forget about it. Dinner is ready in a snap!

I just received this pressure/slow cooker combo and have used it once. I used the pressure cooker mode to make a batch of pinto beans and they were done in a much shorter time than just cooking them on the stove. I used the amount of liquid called for by the recipe instead of the amount recommended by Hamilton Beach’s instructions and ended up with a lot of excess water, so use the HB instructions when you can. The beans came out perfectly, and I just poured off the excess water. I’m looking forward to trying out some more recipes and trying the slow cooker mode. More to follow.

We like all of the different features that are included with the pressure cooker. The only downside is that lifting the rack out while the food is still hot, can be challenging.

I received the product a couple days ago. I tried a whole chicken in it and was happy with results!! Chicken was moist and tender.

I love this for everything I have tried so far. It is easy to use, and a good size for me, as I live alone. My first attempt at a meal did not turn out well, but it was my own fault as I scanned the directions ad figured I knew what to do. After I read the instructions thoroughly, I had no other issues. I made stew, where I sauté the onions and meat, then add everything else and seal it up. 7 Minutes on high pressure, let it release on its’ own, and I have a perfectly cooked meal, with 4 or 5 servings. My rice was perfectly cooked and fluffy. I also made some beans, rinsed them, covered with water and pressure cooked them for 5 minutes and then let it release on its’ own and let them sit for a few hours. You do have to be certain that the lid is in place and locked down, or it will not turn on. I think this is a safety precaution. Overall, I am very pleased with this 6 qt multi function pressure cooker. I want to try to make cornbread or banana bread next.

We tried it and cooked chicken breast thawed from frozen. The chicken was so tender, it fell apart in the water we cooked it in! Really appreciated the button to release the steam, as we’ve had some close calls releasing the pressure on our previous pressure cooker. This product is competitive with other brands, but costs less. Great value for the money!

My son is BIG on Instapots-he bought one for everyone he knows and owns a couple himself. HE saw my Hamilton Beach Multifunction Pressure cooker and is impressed. He went through all the options this has over his pressure cooker. I love that this cooker comes with two rings (one more than other brands). I used it to make beef stew-used the stew setting-outstanding! If you are wondering about purchasing a multifunction pressure cooker, this is the one to buy!

My Hamilton Beach 6QT Multi-Function Pressure Cooker is fantastic! I have always been scared of using a pressure cooker. Though, with easy to follow instructions my fear was gone after my first use. I love all the pre-programmed cook choices where I only have to push a button, along with the measuring cup, spoon and roasting rack that are included. For me, there is no other kitchen appliance that could compare to this cooker.

Is it OK to say that I’m in love with my pressure cooker? Because I am, and I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to purchase this multi-function behemoth. Don’t let its large size or various features deter you. It’s easy to use and clean up is a cinch. It steams vegetables, it slow cooks the toughest meat into tender morsels, it sautés onions to a flavorful mouthful, and so much more. I can’t even tell you how awesome it is to say that I’ve even made perfectly hard-boiled eggs in it. Yes, boiled eggs with fluffy centers! I’m not a super stellar chef but my family now thinks that I am because I can even make pork carnitas and roast beef that has my kids and husband begging for seconds. But here’s the clincher, the versatility of the pressure cooker gave me a ton of options to choose from so no more stale lunches and dinners for this household. Easily my best purchase, its saved me a ton of time by cooking lunches and dinners ahead of time when I’m at work or church. If it has a con, then I’d say that it would be that it takes a few minutes to heat up. But that’s easily resolved by using the ‘saute’ function to warm it up beforehand so don’t forget to keep that in mind and adjust a few more minutes to your cooking times. Definitely a game changer, I’ve happily replaced my old crock-pot and I am not looking back. Highly recommended to buy!

I owned a pressure cooker years ago. It was fast, but required constant watching to keep the pressure at the correct level. This Hamilton Beach Multi Function cooker is so convenient. It’s automatic so all you have to do is add your ingredients and program it. The results are fantastic.

I like how you can brown meats right in the pan. The non-stick pot washes up easily. It is a great value since it came with accessories including an extra gasket. One-touch selection makes it easy for all the different functions. Even though electric pressure cooker recipes are all over the web, I wish it came with some recipes specific for the pot to make it easier to get acquainted with it.

PRO: Another wonderful, well made, reliable and convenient product from Hamilton Beach! I have now used it several times for slow cooking and soups, and most recently for pressure cooking a roast…it is AMAZING in the ease of use and quality of the results; and cleaning is SO EASY!!! A real time-saver.CON: I had a bit of difficulty in initial assembly- it is a good thing that the directions had illustrations; as it was confusing to ‘line up the arrow’ when there are 2 different ‘arrows’ at opposite sides of the lid! Also, there is some inflexibility in overriding the preset time and temperature selections; but what is available has been sufficient for my purposes so far. The Cooker itself is a bit heavy and bulky in contour.OVERALL, I am VERY satisfied w/ this appliance, which has already been a big help to me in preparing good-quality homemade, fresh meals w/o any hassle. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this very good cooker, especially for busy, novice cooks like me!THANK YOU Hamilton Beach!

Product super easy to use, and clean! Almost takes the guesswork out of cooking. So much easier to use than the old fashioned pressure cookers. Made a beef brisket that came out tender and moist with plenty of flavor, used 50 minutes cook time, could possibly added 15 more minutes to fall apart. but was very happy with results. I also did up 2. Cups of Jasmine rice completely as instructed, and it came out perfect, separate grains, good texture!! Hard cooked eggs according to time given on the auto button worked great, but I would use more than one cup of water in pot, as when the eggs finished there was no water left. I would definately recommend this cooker to my friends and anyone who needs meals in a hurry. Everything comes out moist and flavorful in record time. Finally I can hard cook eggs and not lose half the egg in the shell when peeling!! Great product.
