Does this pan cook spot on time wise with your recipes?

Yes. I do hard-boiled eggs dor six minutes atlow pressure and lit them sit. Perfect every time.

I've used a couple of these (and sent units to my kids). They are spot on but you have to figure out the sweet spot for each dish. The temperature of the stove, the freshness of the ingredients (i.e. old beans take longer than new beans), etc. make timing a challenge. I usually let the unit cool on its own and sometimes continue to heat the beans on the stove top to make sure they are al dente. Beyond all that - it is all worth it. My friends say "How do you do that?". Sr. Flaco

yes so far. I am primarily using the recipes and timing from the book Pressure Cooking Perfection by American Test Kitchen. I use my own timer and not the timer that comes with the unit (because I know my timer is accurate and I haven't calibrated the battery operated timer wit the unit).

Yes. I love this pan. I've only had a few months but it's holding up just fine.

No. I use it at exactly the same temps as my other types of pans and have been thrilled with the results.

Unfortunately, no. You, as the cooker, have to watch it and check it every ten seconds or so. My pizzelles usually turn out fairly consistent but only because I take the time to check each batch as it cooks. Otherwise, it's a darn good machine.

Relatively speaking, it certainly does. As an example, I heat the pan for 5 mins first, then heat oil in it for another 4 mins or so. Then cook a fried egg in it, which is probably about another 3 mins. The handle will warm up slightly near the pan, but where you grab it, it stays perfectly cool enough for normal use. (Should point out that my 'prep time' is for the all stainless, not the 'non stick')

As long as it fits in the oven, AND has some space around the pan, I have baked it. Unfortunately, have to keep resetting it after the first 30 min are up.

yes. Take a look at pressure cooking for dummies it will give you the times and how to's.

Yes, but it may take a little longer to heat up due to the amount of element to pan ratio.

Yes. It has a circulur pattern on the bottom that seems to help the pan heat evenly. It quickly has become my favorite pan. I have a glass top stove and it works great on that.

I think that claim is total crap. If you overcook or use too much heat, the thing is going to brown and blacken period. The laws of physics don't cease to exist simply because of the toffee-colored finish. However, the pans I am using do a pretty good job so far and seem to be of decent enough quality. Hope this helps.

I use it often. It is a great pan. There is one thing... you need to clean the corners very well to keep the buildup out. I am happy with it and can recommend it.

I personally like the pan because it makes perfectly round pancakes. You can also cook 4 pancakes at once. So it cuts cooking time in half. I have also used it for grilled cheese sandwiches.

Yes, Mine does !! It has proven to be an excellent pan for so many things!!!!!
438403
Yes. Just make sure you recipe doesn't have ingredients that timers shouldn't be used with.

I don't recall getting cooking times with mine. I usually do 2 mins then check. Not very scientific but I haven't burnt anything.

If you mean the actual pan that the food cooks in, YES! I love this cooker because it is so versatile. The insert is also easy to clean and much lighter than the traditional crockpot ceramic insert. I loved my crockpot, but had a terrible time lifting that heavy ceramic bowl out to clean it. The heat is easy to regulate on this cooker, but it does cook things a tad hotter than my old crockpot. Perhaps because the insert is metal rather than crockery.

Yes it does, you still have to watch the clock though because it takes between 30 and 50 seconds for different types to cook. Some batters are thicker than others the light tells you when it is hot enough to cook.
