also could not get past this article:
1. The multicooker does not have an automatically opening lid
Everything in the cartoon is good: the smart processor was built in, and the tricky valve was installed, but such a simple and necessary option as automatic opening of the lid was forgotten! Judge for yourself, you kneaded a wonderful dough for a lemon cake, loaded it into a multicooker, turned it on, and left to walk quietly with the children on the street. And if you suddenly return home an hour after the end of the cake baking, you will see that the appearance of your creation is spoiled!
As the lid remains closed, condensation collects on the lid after cooking and drips onto the contents of the saucepan. In the case of a cupcake, this spoils its presentation.
Well, what should they have thought about this moment and added the option "open the lid when finished"? No, the cartoon is not perfect at all! ..
2. The multicooker does not have a mute function at the end of cooking
Yes, yes, this is a very big minus! Imagine that you have loaded a saucepan with cereals, milk, sugar and butter in the evening. We set a timer to delay the start (well, so that freshly brewed aromatic milk porridge would meet you in the morning) and went to bed. And if your body (or your child) decides to sleep a little longer than usual, then its good intentions will be completely thwarted. After finishing cooking, the cartoon will squeak loudly and persistently for the whole house (6-7 times). Yes, such an alarm clock. It's good that at least she'll feed me porridge after waking up. But still, not well thought out somehow!
3. The multicooker does not know how to mix the contents itself
But the bread maker can! Question: why not add such an option to the multicooker ?! The creators of the wonderful saucepan instead added a spoon to the kit (by the way, very convenient, there are no complaints about it), they say, stir it yourself! What if I forgot? If you just threw meat, onions and carrots inside, but didn’t interfere? Then the roast will turn out to be heterogeneous (although very tasty).
4. The multicooker can only cook one dish "at a time"
This, I tell you, is a big drawback! But what if I need to cook soup, pilaf and biscuit at the same time? Will not work. It's a pity.If we also consider that the cooking time in a multicooker is twice as long as on the stove, then it takes six hours to prepare a three-course dinner exclusively in a multicooker, no less. You have to improve your planning skills (and the saucepan sometimes works all day long, changing its contents).
Because of this significant drawback, many desperate housewives acquire a second cartoon! :) And the next big drawback of a saucepan smoothly emerges from this minus ...
5. A multicooker leads to almost complete inactivity of the stove and oven
Yes, yes, having learned the freedom that the cartoon gives, it is very difficult to return yourself to cooking rice, soup or pilaf on the stove. And why, tell me then, did you buy a new beautiful gas stove, if all its charms were "ruined" by the treacherous slow cooker?
6. The multicooker does not know how to brown the top of the baking
But for the oven, the cartoon is not as scary as for the stove. After all, she does not know how to brown the top of the baked goods like an oven, that’s what a problem! .. But, I’ll tell you, in the context of small children crawling and running in the kitchen next to their mother (and a hot oven), many housewives, nevertheless, prefer to suffer from a non-browned top of the biscuit than from burns of babies on the oven.
7. A slow cooker weakens you as a hostess; after talking with her, you cannot cook buckwheat on the stove
If you connect with a cartoon, it will haunt you all your life! She will go with you to your dacha, to visit relatives and even travel 1200 km from Ukraine to Bulgaria, so that you do not deny yourself the comfort and morning milk porridge (which your children love so much). It's not a saucepan, it's a sticky fish! Be careful, beware of her ...
8. The multicooker makes you work (and what else to do in your free time from standing at the stove?)
Yes, you used to spend long hours of your housekeeping day standing at the stove, but now you suddenly have free time from "cooking". Not only time is freed up, but also space in the head. And plans, dreams and ideas begin to slowly return there. And when they finally occupy your head, you will have nowhere to run from your favorite hobby, freelance work, writing books, and who else knows what else? And hunting is more than captivity, you know ... So think carefully, do you want to complicate your life so much with this not at all ideal multicooker?
9. A multicooker is too expensive (considering all its disadvantages!)
And most importantly, a cartoon costs a lot of money! 2000 UAH, 250 $, how many rubles are that, eh? .. Nightmare. And this is just for the fact that the miracle (yudo) saucepan will be for you:
to cook
put out
bake
fry
steam
warm up
... any food without your participation! :)
In general, it's up to you to decide if you need a slow cooker and if it can make your life easier (or harder).
I will say about myself, knowing all the disadvantages of multi, alas, I can no longer refuse it. And even (oh, horror!) I dream of a second one! .. As you can see, I am seriously addicted to it (see p. # 7). So be vigilant with the slow cooker: she intends to seriously interfere in your life, inherit order there and stay with you forever!
