CUCKOO Electric Pressure Cooker 5QT, Versatile Slow Cooker with 10 Menu Options, High Pressure Food Steamer for Cooking, Instant Multicooker with Stainless Steel Non-Stick Inner Pot (CMC-QSB501S)

Alrighty guys. I am not paid by anyone to write this. I LOVE this electric pressure cooker. It is NOT made in China. It is made in Korea. I waited and waited and waited and waited a little bit more to see if there was any product coming on the market to replace the most popular item known as instant pot. I did my research for two years. I read reviews looked at pros and cons. I have done my research and I’m happy with my final decision of buying this electric pressure cooker. The inside is stainless steel and not nonstick coating. Outside is nice and pretty looking. InstructIons are very easy and highly applicable. You don’t need to look for more information online. I just read the manual and the recipe book and I have been using it for two weeks. After two weeks I have realized I have been missing it from my kitchen. My top concern about buying electric pressure cooker was where the manufacturing took place. Now let’s talk about working of the pressure cooker. It has cooked my high heat Indian cooking. It has cooked American food with light sauté. I have posted some pictures of brussels sprouts that I sautéed for dinner. That was my first cooking in the pressure cooker. I loved it. Family loved it. I have made rice and It cooked very well. I have made curry. I have made lentils. I have made yogurt. It is overall a very very very good product. And I am very happy with my purchase. It talks to you. The lady’s voice will tell you what is required for your recipe to start coming together. I do not mind it. She’s very happy. There is also musical start and end of the recipe. I don’t mind that either. It is overall a very very very good product. And I am very happy with my purchase. Very nicely made product and I can cook it all in one go. I have one manual pressure cooker and one electric pressure cooker so far and I think there’s nothing that can stop me now. Cooking Wise. Don’t think twice before buying this. I think this is the only one in the series that has stainless steel inner part. It was my second priority to have it the way it is after the location of manufacturing. enjoy guys. Again I am not paid by anyone. This is my honest to goodness feeling about this product.

If you want to do more than cook rice, this is a great option for you. My kids were enchanted with the voice instruction and chime. My thirteen year old was able to use it no problem. She made buttery potatoes from the recipe book (picture attached). It made ultra-soft and flavorful potatoes in half the time it usually takes to make roasted/baked/boiled potatoes. I will definitely continue to cook all my potato dishes in it. I am also excited to try to make stews/chillis/soups, as those are usually very long and messy processes on the stove. I did have to experiment with the rice cooking function. I read all the previous reviews here. I tried the suggestion of "Steam Cook, Level 6 for 35 minutes" for Sticky rice. This result was too sticky for my taste. I tried with both equal amounts of rice and water and 1.25 ratio with slightly more water. Both times were same results (second picture in pot). I then used the RICE cook function at level 4 for 20 minutes with equal amounts rice water. This time the rice came out perfect (3rd picture in serving dish) - fluffy soft and just the right amount of stick. The cooker automatically adjusted the time for 36 minutes after it had pressurized - so that was nice that I did not have to guess at the right time. Clean up was amazingly simple. The nonstick surface was great and letting residue just slide off - even for rice! I have to say that this machine is a bit on the bigger size so be prepared to have counter space for it. On the positive side, because it is so beautiful, I don't mind keeping it out.

Everything is great, and the automated voice assistant and sound effects are cute. There's lots of settings, and it cooks my sticky rice with good pressure while being easy to clean. But it's noticeably not as high quality as my old rice cooker which kept the rice perfectly warm at the same low heat for hours and hours. This rice cooker I think heats up a little too much when keeping it warm after cooking, so the rice on the bottom actually overcooks a little the longer you keep it in there. And I'm talking about the "keep warm" function after it finishes cooking. It's not a big deal, but if you want your rice to stay soft then unplug the cooker and store it in the freezer to microwave it as needed. Don't forget to clean the pressure seal on top and empty the water trap in the back. It's easy to clean!

La volevo da tantissimo e sono ultra soddisfatta del mio acquisto, se devo trovare una nota negativa avrei voluto tanto anche la lingua coreana nelle impostazioni.

Also der Reis ist wirklich spürbar besser und ich habe auch schon gulasch und kürbissuppe damit gemacht und es klappt sehr gut

Mi mujer está encantada, muy fácil de usar, y con mucho funcio.

That’s an excellent design, save countertop space, make delicious soup, meat, rice. With nice voice instructions

On avait remarqué cet appareil, dans des series coréennes, un auto cuiseur a riz qui parle ! Il parle anglais, avec une voie féminine rigolote et sympa, qui annonce ses actions et les étapes. Côté riz, il prend son temps, ça marche sous pression, comme une cocotte minute, toute automatique, mais le résultat est incontestable, c'est parfait. Du coup cette machine a plein d'autres talents que le riz, de part cette fonction, un livre de recettes adaptées à ses fonctions est inclu pour vous en faire la démonstration. Bonne qualité globale et ingénieux, c'est cher, mais c'est coréen et non chinois... On en est satisfait et elle met de bonne humeur.
