Bella (14719) 6-Quarts 10-in-1 Programmable Multi Cooker Reviews

This is my first pressure cooker. I was happy to discover that I can sauté and use it as a slow cooker too. I was a bit disappointed in the directions for rice. It referred to a table for rice, liquids and cooking times but the table did not contain cooking times. I tried the default of 20 minutes for 5 “cups” of brown rice and it came out great. It did take over 5 minutes to preheat. I was very impressed with how easy the multi-cooker is to clean. I also like that the power cord detaches which makes it easier to store. I received a free sample of this product in exchange for my honest evaluation.

This six quart cooker is a good size to make meals for myself and my husband. We have enough food for a meal for both of us plus leftovers for the next day. I love making homemade risotto and it is so much easier with my new pressure cooker. In the past, I had to slave over the stove for 30 minutes or more to enjoy a delicious risotto. Now I can assemble my ingredients and let my Sensio cooker do the work in a fraction of the time. This product will allow me to enjoy a wider variety of healthy meals since I don't have to spend nearly as much time cooking them. There are specific settings for different foods so it cooks each one properly. Clean up is very easy too. The pot is dishwasher safe, but I have found that it is very easy to hand wash so I will be cleaning it by hand.

I am so happy with my Bella 6 Qt Multi Cooker. I admit, that lately I just don't have as much time as I'd like to spend in the kitchen. And if it takes too long, forget about it. But I'm a believer now! LOL First of all, it has 10 different cooking functions. 10! Everything from steam, soup, stew, pressure cook, slow cook and a few others. And it cuts your time in the kitchen almost in half. It looks beautiful sitting on anyone's counter. The clean up was super easy as it has a removable pot that is non stick. Washing by hand was a breeze. For those who have a dishwasher, no worries..it's dish washer safe. 6 qt means that you can make plenty for family or friends. I made stew a few days after getting my cooker (after these pictures) for a few friends who were coming over. I live in NYC and on the weekends the trains are always bonkers. So if we agree on a time to meet, it doesn't always go according to plan. Well, one of my favorite features is the auto warm. The unit sets itself automatically to auto-warm after it finishes cooking. This assures that the food will be warm. As in the case with the friends I had over. I'd rather spend time with friends over a home cooked meal than to eat out knowing that it can be expensive and not necessarily healthy for me. It comes with accesories like a measuring cup, a steam tray, a rice ladle and a recipe book. It's safe to use and the power cord is detachable. This makes it easier when cleaning and also safer if you have little ones at home. For anyone who says they don't have time....I highly recommend this Multi Cooker. It will find the time for you.

I am so happy and pleased with this Bella 6qt multi cooker. It is a amazing appliance to have in my kitchen and I was able to make so many amazing things in this multi Cooker. This cooker has 10 pre-set buttons on it to make it easy to make a meal with just one push . I really enjoyed the 6qt. We are a family of 5 and anytime I made a dish in here for my family their was always left overs because their is plenty of room in this 6qt cooker . I loved the shape and look of this multi cooker and it was easy for me to set up out of the box and get to making meals for my family . The instructions were very easy to use once I started reading them and I knew everything about this multi cooker pretty fast. The first dish I made in my multi cooker was rice and it turned out amazing . With just one press of the button and a little rice and water my meal tasted awesome and the whole family loved it . I also made a roast in this multi cooker and it was so fast . I was amazed at how much time it takes in the oven compared to this multi cooker . I don't have to wait 5 hours for a roast . 1 hour later and it was falling off as I was taking it out of this multi cooker . The pressure release button on this multi pot i really liked compared to other's that I have seen on the market . I also liked the little drip tray for the side of this multi pot to catch the extra condensation so it's not dripping all over the place as you cooking . It comes with accessories such as a rice cup and more . I can steam and make veggies, boil eggs, make deserts and more . I would recommend this multi cooker to any person who is looking for something to cut the time of a lengthy meal in half and still have the food taste amazing and delicious.

I received this a week or so ago and we love it!!!! The cooker is so easy to use and clean up is a breeze. We have used it 4 times!! And we made a soup that tasted like we had simmered it for hours. My only regret is that I did not get a bigger one, but I highly recommend this product.

I received this Bella 6qt 10 in 1 Insta Pota as a sample. This insta pot has so many features its unbelievable, some of the features are a 10 pre_set functions, including brown, saute, slow cook, pressure cook, steam, rice, meat, chicken, stew, and risotto.if you are in a rush for time, you do not have to worry about it with this amazing Bella Insta Pot, it cooks food 70 percent faster. The lid comes with an easy one- step quick steam release. My favorite part of this entire unit is the pot is dishwasher safe, who doesn't love that.

Quite honestly, I have never owned anything as marvelous as this Bella 10-in-1 Multi Cooker mainly because I felt intimidated where my ability to operate one was concerned. I am disabled and have lived on the prepackaged frozen meals provided by my home delivery meal service for years, but they certainly can't compare with the dishes I am learning to cook in this amazing appliance. My home health aide was talking to me about how simple and quick it was to prepare home cooked meals in this appliance, so with the assurance that she would be here to help me figure it out, I decided it was time to overcome my fear of the unknown. I received my 6 qt Bella 10-in-1 Cooker, but waited for her to show up during her scheduled hours before I even plugged it in. While there are detailed instructions included in the box, my brain has difficulty processing new information, so I was glad I had my aide to explain them to me. She had already purchased the needed ingredients to teach me how to prepare a couple of the Cuban recipes she cooks most often in her own 10-in-1 cooker. I watched in amazement as she talked me through each step. We sauteed the onions and peppers.then added the other ingredients. Locked the lid, chose the proper cook setting, set the timer for 25 minutes and before I knew it I was enjoying a delicious home cooked meal! The next day she came with more ingredients and we cooked a different recipe together. While I still need to learn how to use all of the 10 different features this multi cooker offers, I am closer to canceling the frozen meal service company every time I use it. Looking forward to trying some of the recipes in the booklet that Bella includes. I especially love how easy it is to clean and how attractive it looks sitting on my kitchen counter top. Highly recommend!

I received my multi-cooker last week, and ever since then I have been asking myself: How did I live without this for so long? I absolutely LOVE it! I always seem to be in a hurry, and it is difficult to find time to make healthy, home cooked meals with fresh ingredients. Not any more! With this multi-cooker I can have meals on the table in minutes. So far I have steamed broccoli (using the included trivet), cooked rice (using the included measuring cup and rice ladle), and made an amazing chicken and dumplings meal. Everything came cooked perfectly-the broccoli was tender but not mushy, the rice was fluffy and the chicken and dumplings were so flavorful! This one appliance does it all: steam, pressure cook, slow cook, and saute all in one pot. It even has dedicated settings for soups, stews, rice and poultry! Clean up is a breeze with the non-stick interior cooking pot,

I received this a week ago now and everything I cooked in has been fantastic! Everyday I used it for different meals. Most items I cooked had cooking times that were close to an item that was listed in the provided recipe booklet. Rice, short ribs, potatoes and other meals came out perfect and moist. I love it.

I received this last week and have already used it three times! I love that the power cord is a separate piece that can be removed for easy cleaning. It also came with a rice paddle, steam rack and handy measuring cup. My first use of it I made a delicious Beef Stew recipe made for multi cookers. I sauteed the stew meat first using the saute function, you leave the lid off while using this function and just give it a stir a couple times. After that I added all the rest of the ingredients and set the stew pressure cook function for 35 minutes. The light on the front lets you know when the pressure is building, this took about 10 minutes and then the timer starts counting down when it reaches full pressure. When it was finished, I let the pressure release naturally, allowing the stew to sit for a bit before eating. The beef stew came out so tender and the whole thing was just wonderful. Clean up was easy, taking the gasket ring off and top part out of the lid, I washed all three and the removable cooking pot. I tried the egg function next. I placed 9 eggs on the steam rack in the cooking pot, placed one cup of water in the bottom and pushed the egg button. Pressure built up, cooking for 9 minutes. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to time and forgot to remove the eggs at the end of the 9 minutes, I overcooked them by several minutes. One of the eggs exploded inside! Still, it was an easy clean up and I look forward to trying the egg function again. Next I tried a baked apple recipe, which came out delicious! With this recipe, you had to release the steam valve, which I did carefully with an oven glove one. Easy peasy! I love this multi cooker so far and look forward to trying many more recipes in it and using all the other functions including the Rice, Soup, Meat, Desserts, Poultry, slow cook and others.
