The Elite Platinum
MST-516 is part of the
Multi-Cookers test program at
Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Multi-Cookers
models like the MST-516 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those
listed below.
Pressure cooking:
This score reflects the results using the pressure cook setting for our ribs and chili & beans recipes. Dry beans were used in our chili test. High scores indicate more tender meat for the ribs in about an hour (including preheat and steam release); and tender meat and beans in about an hour for the chili.
Slow cooking:
This score reflects the results using the slow cook setting for our beef stew and chili & beans recipes. Dry beans were used in our chili test. High scores indicate more tender meat and vegetables at the end of 5 hours for the stew; and tender meat and beans at the end of 7 hours for the chili.
Rice cooking:
This score reflects the results of cooking 1 cup of dry white rice using the rice setting.
