Electric pressure cooker CUCKOO (general questions and user reviews)

[not electric]

Yes, usual not electric pressure cooker, Italian production, made of steel 18/10 for any type of stove (including induction), with a valve for quick steam release, like this

[Admin, Aunt Basia]

Admin, Aunt Basia, you talk so well that it is simply impossible not to want a cuckoo!

Aunt Besya! Thank you! An excellent reasoned resume on the Cuckoo!
I kept thinking, why do I need it? Now I know for sure - it is necessary and will be.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow and Aunt Besya wrote correctly about the benefits of this casserole.
You can, of course, cook everything on the stove, fry and steam.

But ... for example,
The oven is large, you still need to heat it up in order to bake a piece of meat weighing 500-1000 grams.
And in order to bake it, you still need to fry it in a pan. But the frying pan will "spit" in different directions ...
So it turns out that it will be more convenient and aesthetically pleasing (in the sense of dirt) to do it in a deep saucepan, which does this task well.

And when there is no time ...
And when small children are near ...
And when it's hot, like this summer ...
And when it is urgently needed….
And when you need to take to the dacha or on the road ...
And when the husband does not know how to cook or is lazy ... you can leave alone at home for a while ...
And teenagers ... can do it too ...
And when there is an interesting series ...
Yes, there are many more options "when" can be given and have already been given

But in a good way - different pots are needed, different pots are important - and how good it is to have them in different versions, and to combine their purpose and use.

You can't put poultry and duck in Kuku, for them a slow cooker will be more convenient, there is a wider nest there.

I need a cuckoo, I cook almost everything in it. I also had a Panasonic, now he lives in the country, and Kukushechki 54 and 0821 live at home .... happyaaa. I have a socket for only two burners, so I think I don't need them, I'm already thinking ... buy a tabletop ... induction th for one burner and above the roof is enough for me. Today, my husband baked a fan of eggplant with minced meat in AG, stewed eggplants with tomatoes at 054 and Buchteln buns at 0821, and a batch in AG ... everything quickly and without any tension. Aspic to my husband for 1.5 hours I cook everything perfectly, it turns out to be a tight jelly. In general, I'm happy with my Kukushats.

[Aunt Besya !!!! Admin !!!]

Oh, how glad I am to have read all the posts !!!! It was not for nothing that I was a bit !!!!!!! I am very glad that you fell in love with my dear Kuku, just like me !!! Of course, there are disadvantages, as in any technique, for everyone, their own and I agree that the price is one of the biggest disadvantages, but ..... I am leaving now and I am completely calm that my husband will not be hungry, he will cope with Kuku !!!
Aunt Besya !!!! Admin !!!Thank you very much for your support and an objective view of Kuku !!!!

I didn't understand why the pressure cooker would spit, nothing like that.
None of this happens to mine

hello girls !!! Hurrah! They brought me a cuckoo 1010! Now I will put the children to bed and go to some fun !!!

Congratulations!

And I join in the congratulations !!!! You will be a pioneer with us .... no one has such a thing !!!

hello girls !!! Hurrah! They brought me a cuckoo 1010!

There is very little information about this cuckoo. Does she only get 3 modes?

Pressure cooker Cuckoo CRP-A1010F TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: 1. Bowl volume 4.1 l. 2. Cooking for 2-10 persons 3. 5-layer coating of the bowl with marble sprinkling 3. Cooking / Turbo mode 4.

No!!! Here are the recipes
and it seems like there are modes-SOUP; MULTI-COOK; POTATO; TUSH, MEAT; Porridge; RICE WITH VEGETABLES; RICE and even there are different pressures-high low ...

Any recipe can be adapted to any pressure cooker and multicooker, though perhaps by trial and error. But it's so interesting. Good luck.

By the way, the most normal recipe book (I compared them all) is more reliable.

there are modes-SOUP; MULTI-COOK; POTATO; TUSH, MEAT; Porridge; RICE WITH VEGETABLES; RICE and even there are different pressures-high low ...

aha, there are enough modes! Yesterday I cooked the soup, now I made pilaf (though, like everything I messed up and took the wrong rice, it turned out delicious porridge)

Girls, this section is gradually moving here

Multicooker CUCKOO CRP-A1010F - read in detail here:
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=76421.0

there was a question about this appliance Is this appliance still a pressure cooker or a multicooker? I have a Panasonic cartoon (I love it very much and use it every day), only now I would like to shorten the time for sentencing dishes and therefore am thinking about buying a pressure cooker that looks like a cartoon, but more powerful. Tell me what to look for if someone knows?

[macaroni]

macaroni this is both a pressure cooker and a multicooker, it definitely does not even stand next to the Panasonic Bury, you will not be disappointed!

ANNechka, if not difficult is it possible in more detail about the advantages over Panasonic, the cooking time is especially interesting

[pasta!]

pasta! Something with the move to Dmitrov you completely disappeared !! glad you are back !! Read Temko, there are many comparisons with Panasonic and you will understand everything

Check out the multicooker comparison here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=76468.new#new , a new topic is still being formed, while infa is scattered in two sections

Faced such a nuisance. During cooking and reheating (not reheating)
The cuckoo is, as it were, to put it mildly ... it gives off a plastic smell, like a cheap Chinese technique. I cooked it three times already, it doesn't look like it. Who faced?

I didn't have that. But I noticed that the pan can leave the smell of dishes inside, for example, smoked sausages, which can be part of the soup.

I get rid of the smell by the fact that my pan is good, and you need to ventilate the device itself with the lid open, wipe the lid inside, after specific products.

I have not seen this. If I cook fish, then I just boil some water and lemon there. And so, my cuckoo with a steam generator.

I also did not come across a smell and in general I hear this from you first ... but even in the instructions it is written that it is also important to wash the condensate collector from the back, it can also transmit odors ...

I also had this when I cooked the first two times. Today it seems to be gone. I think that this is a property of a new electrical device, something burns inside there. In theory, it should pass.

And so, my cuckoo with a steam generator.

And do you need to pour water? Do you wash like this every time or after a particularly "dirty" dish?

The saucepan can leave a smell of food inside, such as smoked sausage, which can be found in soup.

There is such a thing!

I cooked capelin (sprats) in a Panasonic cartoon - the smell lasted for a very long time. After that, I left the cartoon only for fish dishes. I no longer cook meat and porridge in it. Therefore, I decided not to cook such dishes in kuku for myself.

I didn't smell of plastic, even after the first preparation. I act the same way as Admin, sometimes my bowl is in the dishwasher, the smell of food disappears.

I act the same way as Admin, sometimes my bowl is in the dishwasher, the smell of food disappears.

Nooooo, I don’t want to wash the pan in the dishwasher yet. I wipe it off the old fashioned way - with pens, a sponge, dishwashing liquid - then wipe it off.And I put the device itself to ventilate, if there is still a smell after cooking

Have you got nothing between the pan and the appliance itself? In the bowl where it is inserted. Or has nothing stuck to the bottom, which gives off such a smelly smell with strong heating?

I wrote it like you, I also wash it with my hands, let it dry and air it out with the lid open, BUT after Extra Sweaty products (for example, fish) I wash it in the dishwasher and I'm happy with the result.

And do you need to pour water? Do you wash like this every time or after a particularly "dirty" dish?

I don't cook especially "dirty" dishes. I use my steam generator once a week, I don't pour water, the whole cuckoo and the body are completely in all the cracks. A saucepan (more often) or a sponge, or sometimes now I put it in the PMM. I really like to wash the lid with the steam generator, all the holes, the "dirt" flies out to "Hurray!"

In general, I just wipe it boom after every dish. with a towel, and once a week at the PMM

Many thanks to everyone who answered! Hopefully the plastic smell will pass, as it does in some bread makers

Girls say pzhl I want to buy a multi-cooker, I was leaning towards a panasonic, but after reading your forum, I now thought that a panasonic or a cuckoo is better. Previously, I did not use any pressure cookers at all, or multi, only an airfryer. Multi was considered for such functions 1.cooking milk porridge for a child, (oatmeal) 2. double boiler 3 soups, sauté and fry 4 some pastries. Just after reading the forum, I understood that the cuckoo for milk porridge is not particularly. I must say right away that buying both is not particularly relevant for our family, we need one thing. The girl who used both that and so help a beginner in mastering the kitchen

As a rule, in life .... you always want more ... you buy one, and then it appears better, more interesting. I would take a cuckoo, although I used Panasonic for about 4-5 years and was also happy, but the Cuckoo conquered me, she has more opportunities than Panasonic. My husband and I are happy with Kukushka, although I thought I was buying garbage for not very small denyuzhki. And you should be guided by your wallet. But I recommend Cuckoo 54.

[marrrggo]

marrrggo Milk porridge, in any case, buckwheat is just wonderful
Oatmeal can also be boiled, there is a recipe on the Internet Stewing and frying is super
For soups, the casserole is too small, so in Panasonic it is the same in volume ...

I just need a not very large bowl, since the family of soups eats once every five years)) and what about using a double boiler in a cuckoo?

[marrrggo]

marrrggo The steamer after installing the steam plate turns out to be large, not like in Panasonic, where it stands at the very top and the volume is small

I just need a not very large bowl, since the family of soups eats once every five years)) but what about using a double boiler in a cuckoo?

Well, that's a misconception, about "I don't need"

Do you plan to bake the meat either? This soup can be boiled in 2 servings, 1 liter of liquid, somewhere at the bottom of the pan.
And meat - requires volume, a lot of space in "width and height", even a 1 kg piece.
Or do something for a couple - also a stand, and products on top, volume is required.

For me, it’s better to have a pot of normal volume, and what to do in it, there will always be, time passes and ideas, new recipes, desires appear.
The pot is not bought for one day

[marrrggo]

who used both that and so help a beginner in mastering the kitchen

I also used Panasonic for a long time, and small. I took it everywhere and everywhere with me !!!! Strained only one, the volume is too small for soups. I have been using the cuckoo for three days, so of course I have not yet mastered all of its capabilities, BUT Cartoon is idle for these three days, I do everything in Cuckoo. And after today ham, fell in love with her completely and irrevocably! marrrggo , except for you, no one will decide what to buy, especially such a difference in price. But you will not regret it in either case! Good luck!

sazalexter , make people happy - post a recipe on our forum. No time to surf the Internet!

I bake meat in an airfryer)
Omela, in fact, what is the distinguishing feature of the pananic and the cuckoo?
after reading, I realized that the cuckoo cooks faster and more opportunities for cooking rice
But is there a difference using a cuckoo on the function of a steamer from Panasonic?

[main active cooking time]

I also bake the meat in AG - there it turns out an excellent crust on top! Cooking time up to 60 minutes depending on the weight of the piece of meat.

Kuku cooks faster - but depending on which dish!
Rice is also cooked for about one hour. You also need to guess the proportions of water and cereals.

Soups are cooked in the Multi Cook mode for about 10-20 minutes - but the total cooking time taking into account the heating, main mode, remaining time, steam release (pressure) is also about one hour.

When we indicate the mode and time of cooking, it means main active cooking time 10-20 minutes.

In a multicooker, meat is stewed for 1-2-3 hours total time in the stewing stage and not very active movement of liquid and products.

In kuku, the same piece of meat is cooked in about 1 hour of total time.

If we compare the result, I liked the meat in the cookie more to taste

There are not so many opportunities to cook rice in cuckoo - in a multi-cooker and a cooker.
As well as in a multicooker - 2 options.
Black, wild, and other rice is perfectly cooked in kuku, it turns out to be whole - you can't cook it like that in a saucepan - it's always undershoot or flight

Oh, you can compare a lot ...

[marrrggo]

Omela, in fact, what is the distinguishing feature of the pananic and the cuckoo?

marrrggo , if everyone had the same tastes, then there would not be such a variety of recipes! Who likes what. I also have an AG (by the way, a slow cooker too - there is an excellent rabbit and beef tongues), but until recently I only cooked eggs in it and was going to send it to the balcony. Somehow it didn't work out with him! Only now I have reabelled and began to cook in it too. In the cartoon, I cooked everything, but, for example, I don't like porridge to taste in it. I cooked the same turkey, but after 2-3 hours it becomes soft, but dry. The cuckoo tastes differently. But in essence, they perform the same functions. What is the difference between a Mercedes and a BMW? both cool cars !!!

It is not correct to compare Panasonic MV with Cuckoo 54, Cuckoo 1054 is a pressure cooker, with all the amenities that come with it, Panasonic is a MV and can only be compared with Cuckoo 0821, since it is also a MV. But since I have both Panasonic and Kukushka 0821, that is, I can compare, I will tell you 0821 wins ..... For example, I just bastard with buckwheat porridge ... simple on the water from the Kukushka pressure cooker, very tasty there potatoes, in CF it doesn't work that way. My peasants love meat from a pressure cooker. I do not know if it is possible to place this link here, if not then delete the moderators, here I laid out a lot of recipes for the cuckoo 🔗 This is my magazine and I just came up with many recipes on the go.

[Tanyulya]

MARGO !!! One of the first courses I made was chicken in a double boiler, immediately with vegetables, though whole ... EXCELLENT !!! Despite the fact that I have a large Tefalevskaya double boiler for two bowls. So you can safely count on this feature !!!

Tatyana you have amazing recipes!
Girls then which is better for a beginner cuckoo 0821 or cuckoo 1054?

[Tanyusha!]

Tanyusha!!! Open your Temka !! After all, you cook every day all different and not ordinary !!!
