I'm in love with the risotto feature!
I just got my cooker last weekend and have used it for 4 different types of risotto. All were perfectly cooked and the warmer gives a little breathing room between the end of cooking and serving.
I also used it for plain rice. It also turned out perfectly. I like the sauté feature too. Makes 1 less pan to clean.
I will probably not use it for slow cooking roasts because it is too small. I would use it for stews though.
I do find the interior pot to be cheaply made, but then I am used to my ALL CLAD slow cooker that has a heavy aluminum pan.
I really don't care about anything but the risotto making ability. It saves me time and produces wonderfully cooked risotto.
Easiest risotto ever
I was highly skeptical that this appliance would actually make good risotto without all the stirring that is generally required. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised. The risotto came out perfect with one single stir. And the Breville allows you to saute the onion, garlic or meat prior to making the risotto, all in the same pot. Awesome.
Very satisfied
I think this is a wonderful machine, and a great value for the price.
I've used it as a slow cooker, a steamer, and a risotto maker. It's a little disconcerting not to be able to set a timer on it, but each time the results have been wonderful. The risotto is just as good as the risotto I produce on the stovetop.
I disagree with the critics who say it is cheap and flimsy; I think that to make it lightweight and an efficient conductor of temperatures, it needs to be exactly what it is. Frankly, I'm delighted not to have to deal with a heavy ceramic bowl such as my larger slow cooker has.
I'm glad I bought this and would recommend it.
