> 3. Manually you can adjust time and pressure as well. Great for people

> 4. Delayed timer , which means turn on the delayed timer in the morning

> homemade food ready to devour - PURE BLISS
> 5. STAINLESS STEEL inner pot - NO TOXINS, NONSTICK COATINGS, NASTY
> CHEMICALS etc in your food.
> 6. Safety : UL and ULC certified with 10 proven safety mechanisms
> 7. Highly energy efficient and kitchen friendly - Less Electric bills.
