The key thing for me was the stainless pot. Every other electric pressure cooker has a Teflon-coated pot that will get scratched, flake, discolour, go sticky and generally poison you after a couple of years. I guarded my old Moulinex pot like a mother bear her cubs and it still went weird. A Tefal rice cooker pan is still perfect, though, so I can do it, it's just pressure cooking seems too much hard work for Teflon to withstand.
