1. Safe to use thanks to its 11 safety features and auto steam release which gives you peace of mind when using it. The cooker has a new steam release reset button for safer handling. It is also best to remove the float valve, steam release valve and sealing ring. 2. Very easy to use thanks to its central dial which is simple to turn and press for easier and more precise cooking program selection and adjustment. It also has an easy to read blue LCD display where you can easily select the cooking program of your choice. 3. It comes with new amazing features; an altitude adjustment which takes the guesswork out of this pressure cooker. It can easily convert a recipe to provide a more cooking time depending on the altitude you are at. It does not matter whether you are at a low or high or sea level. Attainable pressure levels get lower as you get higher in elevation 4. It has a cooking progress monitor which allows you to monitor the cooking states; The Ultra has a cooking graph that displays the progress through preheating, cooking and warming phases so you know right where you are in the process. 5. The vent/regulator is controlled by a separate button - the Quick Release button, Push the button into the locking position and it pops the Vent up to release the pressure, turns the quick release knob and unlock the Vent so it drops back down and stops the pressure from releasing. 6. It has a 24 hour delay start which allows you to postpone the cooking and start it from wherever you are. Thereafter the keep warm feature keeps your meal warm to until you are ready to serve and enjoy your meal while it is still hot.

• The silicone lid holds all the cooking smells which lead to it stinking in the future, however you can run it into the dishwasher on the top rack laid flat each time you are done cooking. • The stainless steel is not really good with non-stick feature as some foods remain stuck on the insides of the pot; however cleaning it is very easy.
