I love mine! I use it for all of the above, but mostly for making broth. I've been drinking broth or making soup pretty much every day. I usually put a whole chicken in and pressure cook for 45 minutes. I use the cooked chicken for one meal, and then put the carcass back in to slow cook for several hours. Then strain the broth and put in the fridge. I drink a cup of broth quite often as my first meal of the day. I also use it to make soup. Cream of anything soup. Or with coconut milk Thai style soup. The broth is always fatty and always gelatinous.
