I primarily use mine to make rice, beef stews, and hummus. All of those take less time and are just as good if not better than stovetop. Once I made shawarma in mine, that was pretty neat.

Ever actually read the FCC certification on products? Ever see the bit about "this device must accept even harmful interference"? That is what this is about. It's not necessarily the fault of the manufacturer if a device ca

Yes, I can, but (see my edit) there's very little utility because the quality of output is very low. Frankly anything worse than the ChatGPT-3.5 that runs on the "open"AI free demo isn't much of a tool.
