Easy to use - 4/5
Instruction Manual - 3.9/5
Build Quality - 4.5 /5 (the cooked dhal sticks into the handle's small gaps)
Cooking time - 5/5
-Tried mainly with toor dhal - takes around 15 to 20 mins. (Requires more water on low heat compared to high dome)
This is my first exp with smartplus kind a cooker. Earlier, I use to use High dome types which whistles every 5 - 2 mins(cooking time were based on number of whistles it makes on high pressure). Smart-plus cooker, cooking is based on time when compared to high dome (whistles types).
Took couple of trials to know the cooking time and methods.
I felt this cooker takes less time to cook compared to other high dome types.
IMP Note:
Cook on medium to low heating only. On high heating this might char the food especially on low water content.
Good to cook for 2 or 3 people.
for [...] + free delivery definitely value for money.

I have alway used a large pressure cooker but now the family has left I find the 3 litre more economical and just the right size for the two of us. Its easy to use and the food is cooked in no time and would recommend it to anyone.

it's a pressure-cooker but light enough for the caravan
Works fine, not too big or heavy. Would have liked one without a handle but doesn't seem to exist in a small size. Does the job v. well and saves a lot of gas. Read more
