I purchased this cooker 3 years ago, and have used it about 30 times since then. It performed well to start with, but it’s performance has now dropped off significantly. When it was new, I could boil a kettle in a very short time, and it was particularly good at searing and cooking steaks, to perfection. Lately, it does not have enough heat to cook crispy bacon, and it takes ages to boil a kettle. I will not replace it with a similar product, and will look for something more robust instead.
