Product review summary
This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.
The GoWISE USA GW22708 Ovate 8.5-Qt 12-in-1 Electric Pressure Cooker is a great option for those looking for a larger capacity pressure cooker. Users have reported that it is easy to use, with plenty of presets that are easy to adjust if needed. The oval shape of the pot is ideal for cooking large roasts and whole chickens, and meats cook up to 70% faster while retaining flavor and juices. The pressure cooker also comes with a variety of accessories, including an oval mesh basket, flat steaming rack, measuring cup, rice spoon, and ladle. The included recipe book with 50 step-by-step recipes is also a nice touch.
However, some users have reported issues with the pressure cooker not sitting flat on their counters due to short rubber footpads, or the unit making a loud whistling sound and flashing "Lid" on the screen when it reaches the pressure point. The controls may also be a bit awkward compared to other pressure cookers, and the size of the pot may be too large for some kitchens.
