Uganda, April 17 -- As the name suggests, a multi-purpose cooker is a gadget with multiple cooking options. It has the capacity to do all of the things that a rice cooker, pressure cooker and slow cooker can do. Just one appliance can have six, 10 or even 14 preset functions so purchasing depends on how many dishes one can make and how much one is willing to spend.

How it works

The appliance comes with individual buttons for each dish it is able to cook. After doing the necessary prepping and putting your contents in the pan, for example rice, you close the cooker, and press the rice button and the cooking will start. When it is ready, it turns off and one can put in the next dish they want to cook.
