I bought a virtually identical model (maybe the same model) branded with some cooking show name. $10.00 at Goodwill!
I found an instruction book online for a slightly fancier model that touched on all the vital points.
The cooker is incredibly sturdy, easy to clean, and functional.
I actually gave it its first real test (rice doesn’t count) over the weekend. I used the Brown mode to brown the sides of cubed beef, then dumped in the usual chopped vegetables, a can of diced tomatoes, and a can of string beans (undrained; that supplied the liquid). I had a half a container of Chinese take-out rice, so I tossed that in.
15 minutes on high pressure did the trick. The 1/2 cup or so of rice kind of half-dissolved, half-expanded and made it all really thick. No need to serve over noodles or rice.
