Purchased 7 years ago and used about 10 times. It shows signs of use, but is in relatively clean condition. I am selling it because I have used it less frequently. ※ A recipe book is also included. The pot and lid have a sealed structure, and the pressure generated by heating allows for cooking in a short amount of time! Cooking time is reduced to one-third to one-fourth of the normal time! Pressure cooking makes food tender all the way through! It's lightweight and easy to handle.
