Healthy Choice 6L Pressure/Slow Cooker

My only upset is that it pressure cooks everyting first. So if I want to slow cook, I have to pressure cook for 1, 2, or 3 hours first.. Basically, you can’t actually “slow cook” anything. I brought it to get rid of my slow cooker, and pressure cooker. Unfortunately I have to keep my slow cooker. An instruction manual for all the functions would also be handy. Apart from those 2 issues, it’s great.

An excellent cooker. You cant go wrong.

This cooker makes cooking breeze. I had an older cooker and needed to replace it. I am so pleased I choose healthy choice. The price is excellent and the value is simply unbeatable. In fact, I like it so much that I have bought a second one for a holiday home. What I like most about it is that you can choose different settings. You can choose to cook something for anywhere between 10-30 minutes. It gives you control. It looks great too. I highly recommend this cooker.

Comply with specifications

Nice piece to have in the kitchen especially for cooking meat sparing the stove to cook other meals. Good value for the price paid. The program for neat takes 45 minutes I thought it should be shorter but still acceptable for me.

Dented and Sticks

The pressure cooker is great because it's super fast cooking, but the non-stick bowl is not so non-stick, I've followed the included recipe book and cooked the roast chicken twice and it sticks and burns on the base every time, even with the olive oil being used. Cannot get the burnt off the base. The unit arrived with a big dent in the back, this doesn't effect the cooking, but doesn't look good sitting on my bench top.

Easy to use and fast cooking

This is our first pressure cooker and it is amazing! Cannot fault it and the shipping was quick! Comes with clean instructions and recipes too!

Flavour fast and still fabulous.

The Healthy Choice Pressure cooker is great when running late and needing a meal fast. I have made curries, ragu's and soups, all made in a fraction of the usual time and still with amazing depth of flavour. The only negative I have is the browning/sautee part. It can be a little slow. If in a rush, I tend to brown of meat and cook out spices on the stove as its quicker. Otherwise, I really like it.

Good unit once you deal with the quirks of timings.

I am slowly getting used to this unit. My main gripe is you can't feel the pressure float valve lock into place or see it "drop" as the instructions say. I'm just getting used to working on faith, a bit risky with a pressure cooker. Having said that I've cooked some great meals on the pre-set pressure cooking settings, and am now venturing into trying to manually set cooking times. I've yet to use the slow cooker functions but have no reason to believe it wouldn't work well if you can manually set it for longer than the pre-set max of 3 hours. My assessment is this is a poor man's Instant Pot and works well for the cost.

NOT AS EASY AS ADVERTISED

I WATCH COOKING SHOWS ALL THE TIME, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD SUCCESS WITH THIS PRODUCT. I PUT IT AWAY BUT WILL ATTEMPT ANOTHER COOK. I HAVE READ AND RE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. MAYBE I BOUGHT IT EXPECTING SOMETHING ELSE. I FEEL I NEED SOMEONE NEXT TO ME GIVING ME INSTRUCTIONS

Terrible experience

I used the product for the first time. A huge dent appeared in one side of the stainless steel body. Presumably caused by heat or pressure. It looks terrible and not sure if it is safe. I have contacted the brand by phone and email to request service under the warranty and nothing happening. Very disappointed.

trash

the manual is hard to understand, strong plastic smell upon first use and the actual inside pot has the worst non stick coating I have ever seen. I spent 15 minutes scrubbing out rice grains and this was on the first use do yourself a favour and go with more reputable brans like Phillips and breville, you'll spend more time trying to understand the manual then actually using it
