- More about the model:



* Features of ceramic coating:
1. The ceramic coating is environmentally friendly, safe for health - only natural materials are used in its creation
2. Ceramics does not react with food, it retains all the nutrients and natural taste of food.
3. High non-stick properties of ceramics allow cooking practically without oil, making dishes not only healthy, but also light.
4. Ceramics has enhanced antibacterial and anticorrosive properties; cooked food can be stored in it longer than in ordinary dishes.

I received this MB today, I didn't have to cook, because there are serious troubles at home. And perhaps the external acquaintance with CF is also not encouraging. The inner part of the lid turns out to be made of aluminum, albeit food grade. On the inner surface of the bowl, there are convex volume figures, the impression that here the ceramic layer is thinner. And you can't understand what the cup itself is from - some kind of black iron. And in terms of management, everything seems to be simple, although the recipes are poor in the instructions, it's good that the forums are full of recipes. And yet, some strange Visconte company - there are no addresses or phone numbers on the site, but by email. there are no replies to the mail.

Few manufacturers indicate their bodies on the site, and even if they show it, the answering machine will answer And there is nothing strange about it What should they write if there are problems in the service or in the store where they bought In the end, go to this forum, for advice.

Maybe you are right. But Brand - everything is open, I also met information from others. Do you have this model? In my opinion, you wrote on a multicooker. ru that the manufacturer promises a bowl made of environmentally friendly aluminum. My bowl is terribly black on the outside, is aluminum black, or was it painted like that for some reason?

Artem 164, I have read your messages many times, you are well versed in everything. Can you tell me the recipes for pastries in Viscount 601, I will be very grateful to you. Only those that you have already obtained. I have tried only one recipe from the Multicooker. ru (proposed specifically for the Visonte 601), but it was a complete setback for me and a holiday for my dogs. Firstly, the dough is tasteless, and secondly, after the offered almost 3 hours of baking, this product did not bite, did not cut or break. And at the same time, from the top to the end, she had a pale appearance. Probably the recipe is not simply adapted to the multicooker. And I would also like to ask, do you know what the bucket of the Visonte vc 801 bread machine is made of? You were kind of interested in this model, do you have it?

You are that strange. It seems that you do not like viconte at all and at the same time hang out in all forums where they discuss this brand. Not only that, you are also the owner of vic 601 and are still interested in vc 801, why? ... I really like products like a bread maker and multicooker of this brand I think the price and quality are fully consistent and not annoying at all That's all And there are a lot of recipes here I will not tell you about mine And why are you following me so much and, moreover, not hiding ?

Lord, it's just that there are not so many people in the topics about the Viscount, you seemed to me to be knowledgeable, I have both of these models, but I only use MV, I will probably sell and buy another HP, so I decide - that's why I asked. Now I regret that I asked. Sorry to bother you, further successes in home economics.

[lesyara]

Yes ... a very lively and most importantly "informative" discussion is taking place here, and most importantly, no one has heard a sane answer to the question about the notorious and advertised CERAMIC bowl. Sorry!

lesyara
well, at least you yourself should write about your experience of using, if you haven't passed the cartoon yet, otherwise there are few who write here, and there are a lot of readers from the forum

Yes, this is the first time I have met such a thing on the forums, in which I took part a little higher ... Have you really read half of the forum ??? Nightmare! I asked about the pie called ... I will gladly share my impressions and my little experience, but I don't know what interests you more. I am not going to rent out to MV, I don’t use this HP to sell, it is also with ceramics. The MV bowl was covered with white ceramics inside, the MV had absolutely no foreign odors, I boiled it for 20 minutes. just with water and there were no smells either. Nothing burns, pastries pops out like from an ice slide. But if someone is especially focused on baking yeast dough with filling, especially with wet dough, it seems to me difficult for her and she bakes too long for the quality of the yeast dough to be excellent. It's just that her power is probably low. Maybe I'm wrong, then experienced people will correct me, but this is still my personal experience. As for the quality of ceramics and, in general, is it ceramics in general - I am not an expert at all, I have to rely on what the manufacturer writes.

lesyara,
well, very good. it's good that you are happy with your cartoon and she has become a good helper in your house. Thank God that there is no "chemical" smell and the saucepan is made soundly, and if you yourself have technical questions, then they are answered balerian1 and in the theme of your predecessor, the Visonte 600, and there is also a separate theme for the technical part of the multi Visonte device.
What program do you use to fry? It's just that I have DEKH-50 and everything is specifically designated there, if Frying, that is, even divisions: Vegetables, Fish, Meat and a separate program Baking, and in DEKH 60, in addition to everything, there is also a manual mode, but my friend does not have all these bells and whistles wonders what would be easier and cheaper for her. And I'm 600 with flowers och. I liked it, yours, kaneshna, is also interesting, but you did not observe any jambs in the programs, right? And I think this is the most important thing. And, in general, as far as I understood a pot from 601 is suitable for 600 Vikosha?

rusja, I, as it were, did not fry anything on it yet, but baked it on "baking". On a multicooker. ru write that she bakes biscuits and bread normally. It's very simple to operate, there are no jambs in the programs yet. But I just got it on August 1. So I didn't make good friends. But whether the bowl goes from 600 - I don't know at all.

Ladies, for a year now, I have been the owner of this wonderful device, and it does not matter if it is French or Chinese, the machine is super! I cook everything in it, including dumplings and pasta! And fried potatoes in the "pilaf" mode is just a miracle, you will not get such potatoes either in a frying pan or in the oven! But with the "baking" mode, our relationship did not work out, but I just changed the mode, bake on "pilaf" or "steamed", I also do frying "steamed", all other modes correspond. Or maybe I'm just baking too large portions?

I also want to buy my girlfriend, the Elby pressure cooker, for my Viscount, which seems to be Chinese too, but the reviews about her are excellent! But it's not on sale yet ...

But it's not on sale yet ...

And it won't. Alby is out of production, alas.

I just changed the mode, bake on "pilaf" or "steamed" And your multicooker won't turn off? On the pilaf, before the water evaporates, as if?

Ladies, for a year now, I have been the owner of this wonderful device

And how did the saucepan behave over the year? Nothing scratched or sticking?

As for the pressure cooker - I recently read somewhere on the forum that some harmful transformations of meat take place if it is cooked in a pressure cooker, that is, under pressure. As for baking, she made a charlotte in an hour.

Lesyara, this is from the same series as the increased harmfulness of mobile phones, because they cause brain tumors. Nobody has proven anything, only someone's speculation. And with mobile phones, kids go to kindergarten - and nothing.
Thus, the harmfulness of the pressure cooker has not been proven, but the taste of the dishes cooked in it is beyond praise, and this is not speculation, but reality.

Unfortunately, I disagree with you about cell phones categorically, I am a doctor, and among my classmates there are oncologists with vast experience. So one of them (in charge of the department of onco-ophthalmology) categorically does not use a mobile phone himself. And from personal experience - we had up to 14 families of bees, we set up a tower (300m from us) - the bees gradually disappeared, and it’s not clear why ...

And I'm sorry, I disagree with you. The fact that your acquaintance basically does not use a mobile phone is not an indicator of the harmfulness of cell phones for me. Bees are from the same opera. We are not bees or cockroaches, we have a different organization with them.
My mother never spoke on her mobile phone, but died of a brain tumor. So phones are separate, tumors are separate. Someone wants to draw an equal sign between them, personally I do not see the slightest reason for this sign.
It's the same with pressure cookers. NOT PROVEN! And since it is not proven, it means an idle fiction. In the same way, for someone, culinary processing in general may be harmful - it is healthier to eat raw. At least that's what raw foodists think. And the rest of humanity thinks differently, and processes food with high temperatures. Both are alive and well.

my vicosha 601 cooks everything super and soup made from fresh cabbage and mashed potatoes with cheese and buckwheat and rice and porridge and steamed well, and the stew was done very cool because the taste was different) I had never tasted carrots in a stew before but right now it looks like it's fresh but at the same time ready) onion, etc.)) I'm happy)

My first month with the Visconte is coming to an end, and I can also state that baking is still lame, well, that is, it is so slow, something tortured and quite edible is obtained, of course, but I cannot show the enthusiasm characteristic of owners of other models can. I wonder what and how you do on pilaf and steamed baked goods? Yesterday I had a batter pie stuffed with raw minced meat and cabbage that stood on baking for 1.5 hours + 30 minutes. after the turn, and it was just, nothing less. Today I put lazy cabbage rolls on baked goods, according to the recipe they should be ready in an hour - in my place they were just going to boil in an hour. Here's how I could test it myself in order to solve it - maybe I need it in the service for verification?

it means that this is such a dietary slow cooker, it is sharpened for gentle stewing and simmering modes, if baking is your priority, then pay attention to Brands, they have aerobatics with this, as far as I know
And, in general, any multicooker with a power of more than 900 W (versus 700 W in Vikosha), a priori, should bake well, or, nevertheless, there should be a competently stitched program in electronics, and not just a "baking" icon on the multicolor

Yes, maybe so, but today's stuffed cabbage rolls, which are delicious and will be eaten already before dinner, so it doesn't fit into any gate so that an incomplete cartoon of food at room temperature (yesterday I had to put it out on gas, since the cake was very delayed) did not boil in 1 hour, it began to boil fully in 1.5 hours! I just don't have the opportunity to go to the service right now, I have to lose this day. You should probably take the recipe from the instructions, if none of the users advises anything else. And I'm going to buy another one, probably just the Brand, but I need to find out who their official dealers are in St. Petersburg, otherwise suddenly the "stinker" will come across to change without problems. The brand will bake bread without any problems, only for kneading it will be necessary to buy some little thing. I began to doubt something about the bread makers, I have already returned one to the store. It seems to me that mixing separately is better - baking separately.

[lesyara,]

lesyara,
from scratch in low-power cartoons it always boils for a LONG time, this is not a marriage, I do not know your multi modes, but many, even in more powerful models, first bring to a boil ON STEAM or BOILING (or a similar mode for you), and then they transfer for extinguishing. Try this again.
I think, in any case, cabbage rolls should not be cooked on automatic programs, such as Rice / Plov, but best of all on stewing.

I don't start anything at all with extinguishing. At night, I loaded the stewed lazy cabbage rolls in the morning and turned on the baking, I thought it would boil - I will rearrange the "stewing" and go for a walk, so they suffered for 1.5 hours to boil. But delicious - horror! (I have now discovered another place with cool recipes, this is from there.)

[pastries]

At night I loaded the stewed lazy cabbage rolls in the morning and turned on pastries

This means that baking is not suitable for boiling violently, but this is quite understandable, try experimenting on other modes
By the way, you can write what modes your Vikosha is equipped with

Vikosha-601 is supplied with: buckwheat, pilaf, steaming, heating, stewing and a pier. porridge + soup + pastries (together). People like to bake it in it, I tried it only before stewing cutlets on one side - the crust turns out. In general, they write that she is "another Panas clone", and the recipes from him are good. But I now use recipes from one site, they are tested on Panasonic with a capacity of 850, everywhere the time has to be increased, and significantly.

ATP, and which of them are automatic, when it is not desirable to open the lid?
About Panas's "clone", I think, just a publicity stunt, like buy, it's much cheaper, but the programs are still different, as well as the power itself

In general, the instructions only include "steaming" without instructions not to open the lid. But since there are a couple of recipes in it for each program - you can only survive by "hackneyed" experiments, I open the lid except for buckwheat and pilaf. About Panas's clone, I met here on the forum. And then there is an engineer from the Viscount service, he helps everyone and he is terribly smart, I think his messages contain links to details about the Viscount, but I have not been able to read it yet because of my crazy life.

In the thread about the predecessor 601, 600th Vikosha with flowers, this uncle from the service, in my opinion, has already disappeared for half a year and does not answer anyone for spare casseroles, he is probably promoting another clone into the world
And with your cabbage rolls, try to boil them first, and then transfer them to stewing or buckwheat

Yes, thank you, I will start studying in other programs. And if I don’t buy another cartoon, I’ll take the airfryer to repair, it finally broke down after many years of use and has been waiting for attention for a long time. It is good to bake on it, if a little. balerian1 did not seem to disappear, I recently asked about the HP Visonte 801 bucket, he said that they were not there and that he left Moscow to rest.

I began to doubt something about the bread makers, I have already returned one to the store. It seems to me that mixing separately is better - baking separately.

What was wrong with the bread maker?
I bought my first bread maker just six months ago (after two years of being at the bakery forum), the most common budget Orion, so I'm happy, like an elephant and the modes are not buggy and the bucket cover is very good. good, but before baking in the oven and various sourdoughs, I won't ripen soon, the whole cycle in a bread maker is still more convenient for me

At the bottom of the bucket, there are heads of rivets with which the bucket is attached to the base, here one cap was very slightly underpainted with ceramics (or whatever it is - they are sprayed on). And somehow from this I lost the desire to do something with her. In general, "cockroaches" in my head - began to think, what from this hole will crawl into the bread while he is sitting in it, and what kind of bread does I need? So I sent her back. And who does Orion? About the coverage is known in detail, what is it called? It would be good for me to choose HP, we all carry from St. Petersburg, and forever or not enough, or vice versa is thrown away.

That's about my bread maker
the coating is some kind of non-stick, but for six months of active use it was not scratched absolutely.
And Orion was originally Hungarian, well, wait, maybe I already have a Chinese and a juicer of the same company, ok, albeit on a budget. I bought my bread maker for the action by March 8, in general it cost 40 bucks. It just can't be cheaper

I just changed the mode, bake on "pilaf" or "steamed" And your multicooker won't turn off? On the pilaf, before the water evaporates, as if?

Sorry for not answering for so long, did not notice your question. No, it doesn't turn off. It is very good to do frying for steam, for those who like fried, only time must be added, 20 minutes may not be enough, you need about 25-30 minutes, and stir without closing the lid. And it bakes beautifully on pilaf, I bake it on both sides.I didn't bake very well on baked goods, maybe because I made a double portion at once. The pastries at Viscount are overly delicate. Judge for yourself, if a pier is cooked on the same program. porridge and soup ...
Once again I ask you to forgive for the untimely answer.

Girls, you know what I read now - the ceramic coating cannot be white, and if it was bleached, then this bleach is very harmful ... It itself should be yellow or brown. And in my frying pan - gray. So what does our Vikosh have a coating with toxic bleach? Does it remain on the surface or have we already eaten it ???

And how upset I am - I have been using it since August 1 and am quite happy, well, except for baking. I'll find out later where it was - it was written about Teflon, and one of the comments is exactly what I said here. But we must try to find out from independent experts whether this is really so.

Here's where it is: Human Native Home, an article on thermolon, and at the end of the very comments.

I'm going to ask everything and nothing, but does the steam release valve need to be disassembled and washed very often? And I don't know how ... Maybe someone will explain or throw a link?

The valve is very easy to get, so take it out, wash it and put it back. Try it!

Thank you! Do you just have to pull for it? Top side? Or twist it somehow? And when will you take it out again or wash it like that? There is not a word about this in the instructions.

I just pull the pip from the outside, twisting it a little to get it. as you get it, you will see for yourself what to wash, how to put it back, ... the gum, by the way, is removed)

I will try, thanks. Are you satisfied with the baking regime? I just need to buy a second one, Brand wanted the cat. a new one will come out, but there strange misunderstandings surfaced with a bowl. Previously, I read more than once that they bake well on the Viscount, not even on "baked goods".

like Brenda the cat. a new one will come out, but there strange misunderstandings surfaced with a bowl.

What about the bowl?

Do not find the information from which alloy the bowl itself. And of course, a big minus that is not heard in the future about stainless steel bowls, after all, it is calmer to throw all kinds of bones into it (when there is often wild meat in the house, this is important). But even without stainless steel, I think this would be the most worthy option if there was complete information about the material (well, consumers are now treated kindly by the law on the protection of their rights, so any fog is alarming).

I was happy with the first six months. Then, I got the impression that the cartoon began to overheat. The pastry began to "burn". With other modes, it is also unclear what - Buckwheat began to fry, used to fry onions, carrots. Steam, it began to burn, it was necessary for Baking.
Now I mainly use the pressure cooker. Brand is planning the next cartoon. I used to like 37501, but it seems that the updated 37502 will be better. Although visually I really like 37501 Champagne.
About Vikusya. And yet now I continue to make meat only in it, chicken on Stew, it is convenient to make yoghurts in it, I cooked jam ...
