can idli be made in this cooker?

I do not pressure cook Idli. I simply steam them. But if you want to use this pan, it would depend on the size of your idli mold. It will steam well, just do not put the weight on the steam vent

yes it can. I just stem them, not pressure cook. If you wanted to use this for idlies, try to not put cooker whistle on it. Once you get hot steam woozing out of the whistle, just switch off the stove and let idlies stay for 5 more minutes. For idlies i just use normal pot/deep-vessle and cover with lid. But as old technique if you want to pressure cook, fine with it, just dont put the whistle.

YES all digital pressure cookers can use any and all pressure cooker recipes. The pressure inside these is NOT the same but for some unknown reason they can use any and all pressure cooker recipes without any changes in time or ingredients. Trust me I know I own a Yahoo pressure cooker group with over 6000 members and everyone that has a digital cooker there agrees with me on this.

Yes, it can be cooked as you do any other rice. You can use a rice cooker or regular pot.

Yes and no depending on what you want to cook. Yes : For anything that won't retain too much water e.g. Potato or when you evaporate all water e.g. rice dishes No : Veggies, fish etc. These could get soggy (disintegrate) and you will have to strain things out at the end. Buying a separator (&lt;$10 in any Indian store) or steamer basket is a good investment. Remember to remove the 'whistle' and steam for desired amount of time if you plan on using this as a 'steamer' and not a pressure 'cooker'. The quality of the steel (as others have already mentioned) is stellar. Cleaning it is extremely easy, unless you burnt something in it of course :)

Yes, the process is the same but the cooking time is different. Check the cooking chart that comes with the cooker for info.

No you can not but there is a new crock-pot that one can sear in and then slow cook in.

The short answer is yes you can. Here is a link for you to view the owners manual. The information that you are looking for is on page 10. http://fantes.com/manuals/all-american-pressure-cooker-manual.pdf

I do not have posession of this cooker; I purchased it as a gift for my sister. Check out the Presto website. This type of inforrmation should be there. All I know is she loves it.

Yes. I make fried rice in it myself, but keep in mind it is not deep like a chicken fryer.

yes I own one of these cookers and it is so easy and fastto have a meal. I recommend a the deep fryer cook book because of so many uses for it.

This seems to be possible. I went to the Presto Pressure Cooker website and they have recipes and instructions for both white and brown rice. Good luck!

While I like this unit, it is not a true pressure cooker in spite of the name. It is more of a steam cooker, so any recipes for a steam cooker should work just fine. It also makes a fine rice or shell pasta cooker. By adding flavorings and/or other ingredients you can create your own recipes. Just make sure that the added ingredients will cook safely in about the same time as it takes for the rice or pasta to cook.

I honestley don't know anything about an induction cooker. I don't see why not though.

Nope; sorry! I wouldn't recommend it. Just do that separately and then put it in the cooker.

It's definitely a mini idli maker. Mini because it makes smaller idlis. May be the reviewer might have used one of smaller pots. Because I used a pressure cooker, I had no problem.

If you can cook it in a slow cooker then yes. There are many different types of porridge, however, so you'd need to be more specific.

Absolutely...this cooker is great! You could probably even cook green eggs and ham (:
