Cooking of variety meals is possible and it can take meat, fish and vegetables in different baskets for the same time of cooking. By applying a small pinch of spice or herb into the herb infusion filter will make the flavour richer and tastier. Possible to even cook big sized meat piece easily until the required tenderness. On the other hand when cooking smaller quantities and relatively small pieces, it has more space to cook and it quickens the process.

The rest is been done automatically and when the desired tenderness is been arrived the functioning of the appliance stops automatically. This eliminates the worry of over and under cooking.
