Multicooker Dex DMC-60 (reviews and discussion)

Girls, can I come to you? I also got a helper

Welcome! Good luck to you and your assistant.

I took the sourdough from Italian good food. It says from 8 to 10 hours. I stood it for 6 hours. I am interested in: 1. Do I need to heat milk. 2. Do I need to put water in the pot when the jars are there.

I always heat milk up to 37-38 C (body temperature), because if you dissolve bacteria in cold milk (and this is unfavorable conditions for them), then the product may end up being stringy and snotty.
I don’t draw water, I just put the jars on the silicone mat.
By the way, if you installed the program at 6 o'clock, you simply did not need to open the cartoon right away - you had to leave it for another 3.5 - 4 hours, most likely it would be ready (the yogurt would stand like in a thermos and reach).

Thanks for the answer. I took the sourdough from Italian good food. It says from 8 to 10 hours. I stood it for 6 hours. I am interested in: 1. Do I need to heat milk. 2. Do I need to put water in the pot when the jars are there.

I made yoghurt from "GoodFood" sourdough culture in a similar Brand 37501 multicooker:

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=147299.0

You simply did not expose the yogurt in the slow cooker (the minimum time is written as 8 hours). It takes more time with dry starter cultures than with ready-made yogurt, Activia, etc.

I think it is more correct to pour water if you cook in jars (this way the contents of the jars warms up more evenly).
Or simply cook yogurt in a multicooker saucepan.

And yesterday I cooked chicken liver for dinner in Deksika: the Stew program, added a little water, more onion, lavrushka, peppercorns, a little dried basil, 2 jars of homemade yogurt (there was no sour cream, but the yogurt was stuck - so I found a use). It turned out very well, fragrant and tasty - I didn't even expect it.

I didn't pour water, everything is OK - but next time I will try with water.
Personally, it's not convenient for me to do it in a bowl - then I have to either shove the bowl into the refrigerator, or lay it out in the jars - the whole product will also be overwhelmed, and in the jars everything is pretty.

[TYTS!]

Of course I do. Please

I just love the liver for this recipe.

TYTS!

[Luysia]

Luysia
I read the recipe - I wanted to cook it - which I will definitely do
You can also try the potatoes byyron - the recipe is also bookmarked

Here is a list of all the recipes:

TYTS!

[Lucy]

Lucy, and you didn’t salt the liver either, and how did it taste, then didn’t add salt? I can't imagine how it is without salt.

The liver was not salted, it is already tasty, and if suddenly something, then everyone can add salt to their taste.

So how about cutlets? No one answered me. I repeat the question: on what mode and how long is it better to fry the cutlets? And steam how long to soar? Thank you! Answer plizzzz

Fry on Fry, if you are the one to fry. What is there to think about? I always only bake cutlets in the oven, so I would make them in a cartoon on Pastry. But if you like in a frying pan, then on the Fry. Well, as for time - look there, you still have to turn it over.

So how about cutlets? No one answered me. I repeat the question: on what mode and how long is it better to fry the cutlets? And steam how long to soar? Thank you! Answer plizzzz

You can fry cutlets in manual mode at temp. 150 deg. By the way, there are really a lot of options: for frying, for baking, for hand-made, and some do for stewing.
But do the steam on the "steam" - "meat" mode, there the default time is 30 minutes, just enough, but you can do more or less.
Regarding the time, everything is like on the stove, drop in and determine the readiness yourself.

Girls, I remember, we once discussed whether a battery or something else is worth in our Deksika to power the clock. So what I came across on the internet: a man writes "Received a response from the manufacturer - Batteries (CR2477T-VFY2) will last for 3-4 years, then go to the service center or store for a new one (10 UAH) and a soldering iron in hand (it is soldered)" ...
Of course, I hardly imagine myself with a soldering iron in my hands, but I hope that it's true that for 3-4 years I won't have to worry about hours.

I think that when the battery dies, the clock will work from the mains, that is, the cartoon must be plugged into the outlet all the time. If you disconnect the MV from the outlet, the clock will be lost.

I think my battery will work for about 10 years. My cartoon is plugged into the outlet all the time, sorry for the batteries.

So I also thought so about all my equipment, until it blew 380 volts on the network and everything that could burned out
The repair cost a couple of thousand, there was no multi then. So after that, I put continuous surge protectors everywhere, and before that, I shattered almost all the sockets, constantly disconnecting them from the network.
Moreover, the case with increased voltage was not an isolated one, but a year and a half later it was repeated again. But we have already learned, they turned everything off instantly, and the second half of the house suffered, which the first time this trouble did not touch.
And regarding any compensation from the power grid, an answer came from an intercessor (I live in the suburbs), who said that the residents themselves, who bought a lot of equipment, were to blame.
Here is such a crisis of the genre. I wish you NEVER HIT

In the summer we had such a joke with electricity, I managed to turn off almost everything literally two seconds before the switched off lamp exploded and the chandelier tore off the ceiling, as it turned out later, the wiring is somehow interesting there, the outlet from the refrigerator is somehow closed with switch and the lamp took a blow from the refrigerator, which she did not have time to turn off. The voltage was also recorded at 380. Only surge protectors do not save from this, we consulted, we need such a healthy one, which is connected at the very beginning, where the wiring comes from. I try not to leave anything on in the sockets now.

I baked Zebra today according to the recipe book for a multicooker, everything worked out, but in the middle there were traces of condensation drops. The recipe says that you need to keep on heating for 10 minutes. Tell me, do you need to remove the valve after baking and heating?

Tell me, do you need to remove the valve after baking and heating?

Nothing needs to be removed. I never touch the valve at all.
If you leave the baked goods unopened for 10 minutes, the drops dry out on their own.

Yesterday we also had drums with light. It blinked, turned off, turned on 3 times, and my pilaf was just preparing. The husband cut out the plugs so that everything would not burn out. I thought that the swimmer would be damp, but nothing, I stood for an hour in the multitude, steamed and got there myself.

And regarding any compensation from the power grid, an answer came from an intercessor (I live in the suburbs), who said that the residents themselves, who bought a lot of equipment, were to blame.

I had a worse story in December - I didn't spend the night at home for two days, and when I arrived on the third, I found that I had no electricity in my apartment. All neighbors have, but I do not. Satisfied neighbors immediately boasted that they had come to turn it off for non-payment, but they turned it off for me because they were confused. And the confusion occurred due to the fact that in the summer (when I was at work) everyone was forced to replace the old meters with new ones. And the one who changed in the documents confused the meter numbers and according to the documents it turned out that I allegedly paid for the neighbors' meter, but they did not pay for "my" meter, they also stole. Well, when they came to turn it off, they did not pay attention to the apartment numbers, they simply cut them by the counter number, which I did not know about at all. I had to prove that I am me, wasting time, asking for time off from work, and how many nerves were spent ... Do you think someone has apologized, compensated for the food missing in the refrigerator? Not at all. They said - "Well, think, confused, with whom does not happen? Why are you shouting like that?" Neighbors do not communicate with me now.

P.S. On the topic Deksika - in the morning she had breakfast with potatoes prepared by him - yum-yum-yum.

Congratulations
So, now tell us how you did it so that others would not have difficulties either.

I can tell. I take 1 liter of milk.
I make with VIVA starter cultures
First, I make the leaven:
I boil milk (if it does not last for storage) and cool it down to 35-40 grams approximately. If the storage lasts, then I just heat it up to 35-40 grams. I brew a bottle of sourdough there and put it on the yogut cartoon for a couple of hours. I turn off the cartoon and still stand until morning. Then I transfer this content to a liter. jar is my sourdough.
I am already making yogurt from the leaven. I also heat milk up to 35-40 gr. I stir in it 3 tbsp. spoons of leaven. I pour it into glasses, pour warm water into a cartoon (a degree like milk), cups on a rag in a cartoon and close the lid. I don't turn on the cartoon anymore. He needs 2-3 hours to get to yogurt, but as a rule I also leave it overnight.
I get starter cultures from 1 bottle of VIVA for 2-3 weeks of daily yoghurts

I am improving, I made 2.5% for 1 liter of milk (District), boiled it when the milk cooled down, tried it with my finger so that it was not hot, stirred the sourdough (Italian Good Food) in a cup, poured it into milk, mixed it, poured it into jars. I put a thin towel in the multicooker, put the jars of sourdough and poured hot water into the MV, the jars were somewhere waist-deep in water. I closed the MV and put on the "Yogurt" mode for 10 hours. Then refrigerate for 2 hours. The consistency of the yogurt was thick, he turned the jar over there and remained, it tasted super, a little sour, the child added a spoonful of raspberry jam. ALL.

Thank you, Bonyasha, we must adopt your experience with the mother's leaven. It really lasts longer than the over-starter culture of one bottle. And when you do it for the first time, do not pour water into the bowl at all?
The only question is, how much mother starter SHOULD be kept over time? 14 days is not much for her

I put a thin towel in the multicooker, put the jars of sourdough and poured hot water into the MV, the jars were somewhere waist-deep in water. I closed the MV and put on the "Yogurt" mode for 10 hours. Then refrigerate for 2 hours.

And 10 hours is not a lot?
I just had yogurt in hot water in the turned off multit, so for 8 hours it stood and stratified
Now I have found the optimal time for myself 4-6 hours, depending on the leaven

it was written in leaven for 8-10 hours. The first time I did not succeed, it was 6 hours. And this time everything is ok.

It seems like they write everywhere that the bacteria are alive and useful for only 5 days, and in over-fermented - 2 days. Actually, I also do this, but I do not keep this leaven for more than 5 days.

I agree that they write the shelf life of 5 days, but after 2 weeks everything also ferments, neither the taste nor the consistency changes. So these milk bacteria are still alive there ???
If they were missing, then the yogurt would no longer work. Is that so? My IMHO.
In addition, industrial yoghurts, for example Activia, have a shelf life of more than 2 weeks and nevertheless we eat them, counting on their usefulness, and even with them we manage to ferment homemade yoghurt. So what is my homemade sourdough, which I know exactly where and how much and how it was stored worse than industrial yogurt ???
I do not urge anyone to do as I do, I just express my opinion. Yes, and if, of course, give such yoghurt to young children, then the terms of course must be reduced, but my family is an adult, it goes with a bang !!!

I don't pour water into the bowl because I make the leaven directly in the bowl from the multi. This is yogurt then in jars I immediately make it, it is more convenient and prettier then they stand
I answered above about the storage time of the mother culture.

The first steps to mastering multi went well. Pilaf, buckwheat porridge, biyron potatoes - everything turned out great !!! But the Zebra was not very baked from below and did not rise very much. Baked recipe from the multicooker recipe book. I will try it in manual mode. Maybe some experienced multivars have some advice?

They ferment, they ferment, but are they useful in two weeks ... I won't argue, I just clarified, maybe, I think, I didn't understand why.
And I do not count on the usefulness of Activia when I eat it. Yes, in fact, I practically don't use it. A colleague of mine once told me how she once poisoned a child with Rastishka, and then gave the second jar from the set to her friend for chemistry. analysis in the laboratory. The results shocked even a friend. And I never counted on the usefulness of the product, the shelf life of which is two weeks. It is clear that they add something to the same Activation.

Bake next time in Manual mode for 1 hour at 150⁰FROM.

Hello everyone!!!

From today, thanks to any caring husband, I am among the happy owners of dex dmc-60. This is a pleasant surprise)))

The pretty girl is looking for her place in my little kitchen.
I put buckwheat with a delayed start and all in anticipation of a delicious breakfast)))

I revised the masterpieces of the members of the forum - I will get my hands on the new technique. I hope everything will be tasty for me too, like others)))

Take a new experimenter into your ranks)))

Can you please tell me, during baking, condensation drips into the middle of the baking. Is it all so or just me so "lucky"? And is there any way to fix this? Maybe the valve is out of place?

gestia, Congratulations!!! Creative success! When I cooked buckwheat for the first time at a delayed start, in the morning I woke up from a pleasant aroma and happy went to the kitchen to open the lid of the cartoon, and not put the porridge to cook, as it happened before.

I also cook all my milk porridge on a delayed start. I have already tried semolina, millet and corn. Mine in the morning are slurping already bursting behind their ears: yahoo: It's so lovely that you don't have to stand over the pan for half an hour, watch so that the milk does not run away and does not burn

Can you please tell me, during baking, condensation drips into the middle of the baking. Is it all so or just me so "lucky"? And is there any way to fix this? Maybe the valve is out of place?

I'm dripping too. In my opinion, this is the trouble of all Deksiks. If you stand a little with the lid open, it dries. It doesn't matter to me, it doesn't affect the look and taste

Girls, my employee wants to buy a Dex-60. But in the internet he is scared. I am afraid that I will advise and remain guilty ...
Who bought the last time in a reliable store and at a good price, please respond. In the photo I looked - 1 pc left. Until she gets together, she won't stay.

[Bonyasha]

I also cook all my milk porridge on a delayed start.

- Bonyasha, and how to put milk porridge on a delay? Will the milk turn sour until morning?

- When I saw such a thing, I was a little upset. And then she turned the biscuit over and baked a little more, and that's it

Thanks to all who responded. Calmed down. She cooked milk wheat porridge, well, everyone liked it very much. We ate it in a moment and put on more. there is still some yoghurt to try and baked goods again. Happy with my cartoon

[Bonyasha]

- Bonyasha, and how to put milk porridge on a delay? Will the milk turn sour until morning?

Not sour yet
There are no tricks for cooking. I just pour water + milk + cereals, sugar, salt. The oil is already in stock at the end of cooking. And that's all.

Made hard cheese in a cartoon! I took all the homemade products! poured 1.5 liters of milk on the Milk porridge mode, brought it to a boil, poured 1.5 kg of cottage cheese there, switched to the Stewing mode, and boiled it for 8-10 minutes, the whey separated, constantly stirring, then the whole thing onto cheesecloth and through colander .... while the whey was draining in the combine mixed 200 grams of butter, 2 eggs, 3 teaspoons of soda and 1 tsp. salt, and added dripped, but not completely cottage cheese to this mixture! The whole thing was mixed in a food processor until the mass became homogeneous and quickly poured into a container, previously covered with cling film! All! Hard cheese is ready!

Doesn't that mixture and curd need to be warmed up together?

Tell me! The harvester has become easier to live with.

YESAAAA !!!!!

Doesn't that mixture and curd need to be warmed up together?

Nope, when I lived without a combine, then I warmed up the whole thing in a water bath, so it turned out not hard cheese, but something between melted and hard cheese!

I would like to summarize the first results of the operation. Above I wrote that I gave my wife, daughter and sister on NG.
At first, everyone was wary, but, like well-mannered ladies, they kissed me for a gift.
A month has passed ...
My daughter has become a real culinary specialist. Does everything in the cartoon. Shares recipes and thanks for the gift.
My sister is in the process of mastering, but I like it very much. Thanks.
The wife (read I) has mastered the cartoon and says that how good it is with the cartoon. Time is saved. But I mostly cook. But this does not bother, rather the opposite
He made pilaf, buckwheat, wheat in milk, fish, chicken. And the meat turns out - you will lick your fingers.
I take a piece of the collar, "roll it" in spices, shove the garlic, a little oil on the bottom (I pour olive oil) and stew for an hour and forty. All.
I like the delayed start the most. It is something. I conjured 10 minutes and a hot breakfast in the morning!
I looked closely at the cartoon for a long time (I probably wanted to take another 50k for about a year) and now I'm "bathing" in thanks and I'm glad myself
Here's a story

Michaly4
directly balm to the soul that your women liked. And for your culinary feats separately RESPECT!

but I haven't been bragging about something lately (. in Venetian (yum-yum) This is one of the new products I can only take pictures of staples and hodgepodge.

[Luycia]

Today I made Beyron potatoes according to the recipe Luycia - very simple and very tasty I remembered about my grater Berner Prima - I cut the potatoes, but I didn’t risk the onion - with a knife the old fashioned way (I’m still a little afraid of this grater). Today, without a photo report, I remembered that I needed to take a picture only when I had already eaten everything.
I will repeat once again - it is very easy to prepare this dish, but such a wonderful dinner turns out with it. Thank you Luycia

Ira, on what mode did you cook?

In the mode Fig. The potatoes turned out superb, not at all raw - although I have potatoes that I need to try to boil for mashed potatoes, for example. And then it turned out just right.

is it just boiled or crusty too?

No, the potatoes themselves are without a crust, but they do not fall apart, but retains the shape of a circle, and the onion is fried from below - so I mixed the potatoes with it. The potato itself is saturated with the smell of onions, garlic and seasonings - it turns out delicious

And did it completely without water?
RIS usually turns off quickly when there is little water.
Bo I somehow didn't fuse with this potato

[this]

If done by this recipe, then water is needed.

Let me brag! Curd cake according to this recipe

And in what mode did they bake and how long? How long did it take to open the lid?
I did not succeed - all the opal, maybe the time was wrong

I baked on the Baking mode for 65 minutes, opened it first after about 1 hour, saw that it was slowly shrinking, quickly closed it and suffered for another hour. so in total I opened it "for good" after 2 hours.
