CONCLUSION

PROS

CUCKOO CMC QAB501SB
CHEF iQ Smart Pressure Cooker
Yes

1. Automatic steam release technology for safety; For most pressure cookers, one must manually push the steam cap to release the hot air inside the pot, and this tends to be very dangerous; however, that should not be your concern for the CUCKOO CMC-QAB501SB Thanks to its automatic steam release function. 2. Easy cleanup The CUCKOO CMC-QAB501SB's inner pot is made of a non-stick coating stainless steel so that food does not get stuck on its surface or leave stains. Even the inside surface of the outer pot is made of the same material stainless steel like that of the inner pot. This makes clean-up a breeze and a walk-over. It also has an auto-clean mode —- after rinsing the pan, you can simply put the pan back in and push the auto clean button and it sanitizes it for you with steam!! Amazing!. The inner pot also has durable heat-resistant handles for optimum safety while handling the pot. 3. Gives you perfect food results in the shortest time possible. If your staple food runs along the lines of rice, you are in for the best rice you have ever eaten. This one cooks rice in 30 minutes which is 20 minutes faster than most rice cookers and the results are perfectly fluffy, and not only decent but delicious. Simply follow the instructions, put in the correct amount of water needed in the cooker and you will be sure to get the results you are looking for. You can use it for everything from rice to pot roast and vegetables to beef and broccoli and it will never fail to impress. 4.

CONS

CUCKOO CMC QAB501SB
CHEF iQ Smart Pressure Cooker
Yes

bulky and heavy With 17 pounds in item weight, this pressure cooker is considered heavy and bulk to move around. It is not really a problem considering the amazing results it is giving out. It is considered to be a bit expensive but definitely worth it.

Yes

(1) Lack of privacy if you use the Mobile App feature to get all the 600 cooking guides. You have to pair it with your phone, signup with your email and then connect it to your wifi. Basically you give away lots of private information. (2) The non-stick pan inside is not ideal for such a premium product. I would prefer a stainless steel interior. However, the pan is easy to clean.
