Most of the time, I am unable to use the std button...Read more

Vessels: yes, flat bottom vessels containing iron, with min.dia of 5', is needed because it is electro-magnetic cooking. Hence contents are heated directly and the vessel is not heated; but vessel becomes hot after some time when it absorbs heat from the food items. Full range of vessels including pressure cookers are available now.
