I actually tried that dude's recipe.

They were ok. If you have a decent sauce they are better than what you can get at the average chain restaurant. They won't wow you but they get the job done and getting everything done in an hour from prep to plate is nice. Make sure you have some good sized tongs to get them out.

Also, the timer won't start until the cooker pressurizes fully. I think it's something like 5 minutes but I can't be sure b/c I always go do something else as soon as I seal the lid and hit the button.

this dude here LINK also has some decent things you can try

A lot of people are arguing about whether or not this can do things that a regular pressure cooker can not. Yes, it can. First of all, it can cook rice and make yogurt. Not sure if I will ever make my own yogurt but if I decide to it is nice to know I can.

Searing and browning/sauteeing is not a big plus because any stove top pressure cooker does that, when the lid is not on and locked it is just a normal pot.

However, no normal pressure cooker works as a slow cooker as well. That is a huge plus. I no longer need space in my pantry for a pressure cooker and a big crock pot. This one does it all.
