It's advertized as a pressure cooker, and I do use it as a pressure cooker. You can cook a stew in about 15 minutes, start to finish. But unlike stove-top pressure cookers it has a browning setting which will fry stuff and the stuff won't stick to the non-stick surface. It also has a simmer setting which is a quick crock pot. On the simmer setting it will also make cooked cereals, such as oatmeal.
