I keep hearing about this thing, can anyone explain what it is exactly? I'm having a hard time seeing it as anything other than some trendy pressure cooker.

it's a "fancy" programmable pressure cooker. it can serve as both a pressure cooker and rice cooker.

It also has a bunch of preset functions for certain foods so that if you're too dumb or lazy to keep an eye on it, it will turn itself off after the food is done.

the appeal is that it does more than a regular pressure cooker for about the same price. It's really useful for making stock and it can replace both a slow cooker and rice cooker.

I don't know whether I would buy that particular product, but an idiot proof pressure cooker that could be a rice cooker and everything in between sounds pretty fucking good.

it might have become a meme, but it's still useful. It can replace at least two devices commonly found in home kitchens (slow cooker and rice cooker) while giving additional functionality (pressure cooking). That's the opposite of useless, you autistic cuck.

True, but if its quality is marginal it's like the Wolfgang Puck immersion blender that could also be a bad food processor and a couple other things. The idea is great, but it's only worth considering if it's well executed.

it is well executed. it cooks rice well and it makes slow cookers obsolete by giving the option to cook at low or high pressure. it even turns itself off if when the food is done.

the only reason people (especially on this board) hate on it is because it's become popular. It's a really simple device: a pot with a lid that holds pressure. That simple design is what makes it so effective. The manufacturer added some electronics (and a safety mechanism) to make it idiot proof, and BLAMMO! it became popular with normies. And of course, anything that's popular with normies isn't allowed on the 'chans...

That's a pretty low bar. But if it does everything else it claims without fucking up that's pretty cool.

It can't even get to 15 PSI (no electric pressure cooker can) which eliminates half the reason to own a pressure cooker to begin with.

Its basically a meme slow cooker
