Presto 10qt Kitchen Kettle Electric Multi-Cooker 06009

Since i don't cook i had to ask for my wife's input on this review. This cooker is a plus for every kitchen. It saves a lot of time and gets you out of the kitchen quicker and produces a great healthy meal for the entire family. The first time i used this cooker i cooked a pot roast by browning the roast on both sides and then added potatoes, carrots and onions. This multi cooker with its huge 10 quart size is great for a single dish for the family. The pot roast turned out terrific and the entire family enjoyed the meal. Next we had a fish fry with fish, french fries and hush puppies. The versatile basket hooks onto the rim of the base to allow fried food to drain and allows oil to keep at selected temperature until next batch is ready to cook. The multi cooker with its 1800 watt 400 degree master heat controller fried 10 cups at a time to perfection. The fish, fries and hush puppies were brown on the outside and moist and fully cooked on the inside. I have not tried to blanch vegetables but i am sure it will do a great job. The heavy cast aluminum base seems to hold the heat more so you don't have to wait long between batches. The Presto Multi Cooker cleans up easily due to the non-stick finish on the inside and outside and it is dishwasher safe. It comes with the base cooker, the master controller, the basket and basket handle.The base has 4 feet that keep the base about 3 inches off the cabinet but i thought the cabinet top got a little to hot so i put a chopping block under it to make sure the counter top did not get to hot. The tempered glass top for the base fits snug and lets you see how the cooking is going. I can see using this cooker every day for a great meal in short time which is what the homemaker wants.

The Presto 10 Quart Kitchen Kettle XL multi-cooker/steamer is Fantastic! I absolutely love this product. The multi uses for this productbarebamazing. You can do almost anything! I love the nonstick surface both inside and out. Easy to clean, dishwasher safe, can be fully immersed with the heat controller removed. There really isn't much this multi-cooker/steamer can't do. I also love the tempered glass lid so you can see inside without always having to remove the lid. Also love the steam/get basket. it can hook into the rim for easy draining. There isn't anything I don't like about this product. Highly recommend!!
