I like the foodie but don’t rely on all the recipes in the book as they very hit and miss. Yoghurt recipe misses out an entire stage so I had to look up on YouTube as I thought I was doing something wrong. Biryani recipe doesn’t have enough liquid etc. You have to get used to how it cooks but it has some great features like air fry and sauté. At 170 the setting on slow cooker quite high I thought. Anyway check out the numerous YT videos to help you with recipes. How durable it is remains to be seen as I’ve only just got it but I had to answer yes to the above as no other option. Happy with it so far.
