I can honestly say that I am a good cook but sometimes, cooking meat to perfection can be quite tricky. I started using this Instant Read Thermometer, because I want to serve perfectly cooked meat to my husband and for family and friends during get-togethers. I am fascinated and very happy that this nifty device has changed the quality of my meals! I know some of you may say that this is an old trick that most people know but seriously...the quality of your thermometer plays a major role in cooking meat accurately. I love this brand and the quality of this thermometer!

It's hard to believe that someone so picky like me can find something so healthy to be delicious.

I am not good at cooking. It is difficult for me t understand which ingredients must be better used with others. In order to cook really delicious meal I need to follow strict instructions. This book is much more than just helpful. It is indeed perfect. Now I feel like a real chef. Following all the instructions I have cooked very delicious meals. It was a quick but very interesting process. What is more the food is really wholesome.
Needless to say that this book is my favourite now!

I haven't tried all of the recipes yet but the ones I have are delicious. I can tweak and make them my own if I like.

I consider myself a pretty good cook of a sizable variety of cuisines.
When it comes to southern cooking I needed help in the form of a cookbook.
Things like cooking grits and biscuits without the proper guidance can prove disastrous (and it has in the past) most of the time.
I was actually able to make these clearly written recipes successfully.
Great desserts like the pineapple-black walnut upside down cake and red velvet cheese cake are outstanding.
Mains like the whole roasted duck with cherries and the ginger and pear pork chops are show-stoppers.
The stories are delivered with thoughtful and sincere expressive prose.
Nicole A. Taylor writes as a close friend that is right there in the kitchen with you.
It would seem she actually wants you to succeed in making southern food.
Wow...

I was hoping that this was something that I would be able to fluidly add to my kitchen and while I was able to use it the day it arrived, there is a bit of a learning curve with the timing, etc.  I don't think that is particular to this machine though, it is likely something that any new pressure cooker user would go through.  The good news is that the food comes out beautifully with the right timing.  The slow cooker feature is particularly great.  I am still working with the pressure features.

Now for the bad, the non-stick coating on the insert pot is so thin that it is already scratched off.  I did not use metal in the pan, but I did soak it with some silverware in it.  I take responsibility in the sense that I should not have put the utensils in the pot, but I have never seen a coating scratch off so easily.  I have a new insert on order from Fagor and hope to be back to multi-cooking soon!

I personally love my rice cooker, but I will admit that the rice it makes is not perfect. It can be a little gluey - a little.

I like this product, but sometimes the pre-deteremined items do not cook the food. Check your chicken. It may not be done!!!  It takes a while to build up the pressure, but then cook times are quick.

It is a pretty unique item, however I can't get the bacon evenly cooked every time, however in all I'd say I was pretty satisfied with the product..

There are only so many ways to do salad, casseroles, and ( insert meat).  I do like that you give regional cooks an opportunity to show off their cooking skills. I enjoy the story of the authors of the recipes, as well as the recipe it self.

I make cookies and cupcakes and it works well for me.

I tend to have very simple tastes.  This does have some great meals in it but several of the foods don't agree with me so it is not too beneficial for me.  But for others who like the type of recipes in here, enjoy them.  The formatting when put in e-format isn't great but that happens sometimes.
