Our Place Dream Cooker | 6-quart Multicooker | 4 Versatile Modes | Pressure Cook, Slow Cook, Sear & Saute, Keep Warm | Hands-Free Steam Release | Tailored Control Panel | Blue Salt

We used to have a multicooker, but I never used it because I found the numerous functions to be overwhelming. I had previously purchased the Our Place air fryer combo oven as a gift (which was very well received!) and decided to give the Dream Cooker to myself. To be honest, one reason why I chose this over other brands is its aesthetics. It is really attractive, and I am not shy about displaying it on my countertop like I am with some of my other appliances. Aesthetics aside, I am super-happy with its functionality. So far I have used it twice. The first time was to pressure cook a bone-in, skin-on eight-pound turkey breast. After a quick Google search to figure out the right settings and timing, I prepped it with a dry rub and seared it with the searing function, which gave the skin a nice bronzed tone. I then pressure-cooked it for 48 minutes, with a couple cups of chicken broth added. The result: tender, flavorful, fall-off-the-bone white meat. Not dry at all! I strained the liquids, cooled them in the fridge overnight, strained off the fat, and got a very flavorful, gelatinish turkey stock that I have since used to make soup and gravy. We are still enjoying the fruits of this very easy to make, economical protein in a variety of dishes including soup, salad, and casseroles. I next tried making a pot of pinto beans. After another quick Google search, I chopped and sauteed some aromatics on the saute function, then added the dried beans at a 3-to-1 ratio of three cups of water per cup of dried, unsoaked beans. I pressure cooked for one hour. The outcome: perfection. The beans were so tender and flavorful. It would have taken triple the time to cook these on the stovetop. The Dream Cooker is also super-easy to clean. Just remove the metal insert to wash, and wash the inside of the lid. I only got a few little drops along the rim of the cooker, which were pretty easy to wipe off with a paper towel. My motivation for getting myself the Dream Cooker is to eat healthier, including a variety of legume and whole grain dishes. I love beans and grains, but I don't cook them as often as I'd like because of the time involved. The Dream Cooker is changing the game for me. I am pretty stoked about my initial experiences with the Dream Cooker and anticipate it wll prove to be my most-used countertop appliance. If you are looking for an easy-on-the-eye multi-cooker that is easy to learn and saves you time, go for the Our Place Dream Cooker.

I've had this little jewel of a kitchen helper for just a week now...and ... I LOVE it. So very easy to use - it's simplicity is part of the charm. Versus other more complicated types of 'cookers' - this design makes it super user friendly. The other nice feature is how it looks....already I've had friends compliment it's looks on my countertop. It's sleek design and great color choices makes it super nice to have on the countertop. I especially like the versatility of it; in making soups you have the ability to sear all the vegetables; proteins prior to setting the slow-cook option - rather than having to sear in yet another pan (who wants to create MORE dirty dishes!) you are able with ease to brown meats easily with enough heat to really make this happen. The larger size is great for us - and for my friends who want a more compact version; there is the smaller size too. The workmanship appears very good - and for the price - I am getting my investment worth out of this kitchen cooker... everything so far, that I've made in this has tasted delicious. My husband even enjoys cooking with this....which makes this a double winner.

I love this pot! Very attractive and highly functional. Much fewer cooking options than my last cooker, but I don't mind that at all. I wish the pot inside had handles so that I could remove it from the cooker... every time I use it, is a logistics nightmare trying to figure out how to get it out of the cooker. I fear one day, I may have a serious kitchen accident. Material is high quality and the cooking speed is about what you expect for an electric cooker (nothing beats a stove top pressure cooker, of course). Value for money? I would say yes - it is no better or worse than any of the other options I have used and this one is attractive to boot!

I love it, fresh pot o' beans in 30 minutes!

So much easier to clean than the electric pots. Really well made and worth the investment
