With 4.7 litres of cooking capacity, you can fit plenty of food in the SC7500 to feed a family of 4-5 people, put all of your ingredients in first thing in the morning, turn it on either low or high, then later in the day you will have a delicious meal ready for you. The SC7500 has a trick up its sleeve though, you can remove the inner pot & use it on direct heat (gas or electric) letting you saute your ingredients before cooking. The main pot is also dishwasher safe, making it incredibly easy to keep clean.
