We've had the turbo cooker for over 10 years and love it. It did take a little getting used to at first but just follow the recipies and you'll have no trouble. Also don't be afraid to experiment on your own as we've come up with many new recipies on our own after we got the hang of how it works. You can actually cook an entire meal from vegies, to meat, to dessert all at once! It's great!
