Multicooker Element FWA 01 PB El

The sensor on Element is not like that of phones .. You need to hold it for a few seconds, so it's difficult to knock the program down. And I very often interrupt programs (well, such a person I am, I wonder how the process goes ..) and I have not had a failure in management yet. mmm. In general, this is a joint development - an English company and South Koreans.

What would you like from MV,
what dishes to cook?

Of course, I would like to cook everything))) soups, stews, cereals, bake, but not baked goods (I don't quite understand yet what baked goods can be obtained in MV), i.e. everything except sausages with eggs. Maybe something else is possible, but I still don’t guess.

Of course, I would like to cook everything))) soups, stews, cereals, bake

Then the element will suit you.

And if from the opposite - what is impossible to cook in it?

[Vei]

Vei - about baking - wonderful biscuits are obtained in MV - in this MV I turned out very well like this Nut pie "in 5 minutes"
about sausages and eggs - you can also try to steam it - I get it in other CFs - so this should work out too
about Bork - I read Temki Borkovskie on a friendly forum - and so there are soups and cereals among the people that sometimes run away, although in theory nothing should run away under pressure - so - is there a thought to pay that kind of money

PiSi: I put chicken jellied meat - I sit and shake.
And yet - I'm probably the captain of the obvious - but in this MV it turns out SUCH meat - I first fried it slightly until a slightly noticeable golden color, but so that all the juice does not come out, and then I added about 1/4 m / glass of water (purely symbolic, so that the pressure builds up) on the stew mode for 40 minutes - just a head off - the husband purred, although he does not eat anything stew

[Jouravl]

And if from the opposite - what is impossible to cook in it?

no yogurt program though Jouravl all the same, I made yogurt in it - that is, of course you can make it here, but you will have to dance around
dough is also unlikely to distance
don't make sour cream
and for biscuits, it seems to me that the induction is too harsh - there is a need for more gentle heating - well, or I just didn’t experiment - my husband began to swear, but I didn’t make him nervous

Good evening everyone! I make yoghurts every other day and now it's worth it. I fried steaks in MV. True, it is recommended to fry with the lid open, but I closed it. The result is 2 excellent steaks with a golden crust and very juicy. So the meat, I agree with Margarita, turns out to be excellent. But I again have a problem with the pilaf program - after I put the vegetable, he demands to close the lid, but then how to put the rice there remains a mystery. As soon as I try to open the lid, I hear the command, close the lid! And again I have to cook on crumbly grits. Someone cooked pilaf in our MV?

Girls, please remind me, do you already have a page with recipes?

no, recipes are laid out in the general section, I only posted two
in general, you need to look at the topic, then we will ask the moderators to put a list of links in the first pst

I report on jellied meat
Cooked two legs, 1 onion, 1 carrot, water up to 4 (where the cups are, not liters)
The first time 40 minutes stew mode - light broth, carrots and onions pulled out, meat as in soup
The second time I started the stew program 50 min - the meat and broth changed color
The third time 25 minutes stew program - the color of the umeat with the broth is the same, the broth is not very light. Topped up with water 1/2 m / glass
I took out the legs - the meat falls off the bones, the joints are semi-liquid.
There is little water left - it barely reaches the 2 mark.
Poured everything into the mold. cools down. Tomorrow I'll post pictures of the finished jellied meat.I wonder if he froze.

I think that from some legs without gelatin it is unlikely to solidify, but this is not a jamb of a multicooker. Did you get a nice color broth?

I report on jellied meat .....

According to my observations on our MV, it is better to cook jellied meat in Soup, and Ragu is very aggressive at 110 degrees and pressure (yes, everything is boiling with terrible force), and Soup is 95 degrees and pressure is what you need.

But I again have a problem with the pilaf program - after I put the vegetable, it demands to close the lid, but then how to put the rice there remains a mystery. As soon as I try to open the lid, I hear the command, close the lid! And again I have to cook on crumbly grits. Someone cooked pilaf in our MV?

Or maybe here, as in Bork - 15 minutes of frying with the lid open (meat with vegetables), and then add rice, close the lid and set the "pilaf" program?

PySy this morning my husband gave me a Bork U700, stopping my painful throwing)))): girl_claping: Of course, the owners of the Element will not be so impressed by Bork's design, but I am impressed by both the design and the quality of materials and build quality.
Girls, you helped me so much in a difficult moment of choice to understand what I want and what they (MB) can do! Your topic has become like my own, it's even a pity that our devices are different, but it seems to me that the recipes may be suitable ... I don't want to part with you

VEI
Who is who

If the Bork U700 had not been adapted for Russia Cuckoo 1070, then I would never have even considered it, but this is a new cuckoo made in Korea. It's just that Bork's price is absolutely inadequate, as well as for Russian cuckoos, but where to go? But service support and proven quality. Although in the end it was my husband who made a choice, and I did not resist, the truth is that this year nothing else will shine in terms of shopping ...

Vei!
I congratulate you on a great gift! Your husband is wonderful. A very good choice - use and enjoy. Today I opened the National Geografic magazine - and there is an advertisement for Bork with a recipe. This is especially for you
Duck with apples from the multicooker
1.5 kg duck, 3 medium apples, 3 sprigs of rosemary, 2 tbsp. Spoons of balsamic vinegar, 1 measuring glass of water.
Serve the duck, peel 3 apples and cut into equal quarters. Pour water into the multicooker bowl, add duck and apples, salt and pepper. Extinguishing mode 40 min. In a separate container, combine the vinegar and sugar. After the signal to finish cooking, add the mixture and finely chopped rosemary to the bowl. And set the quenching mode for 20 minutes. Drizzle with multicooker sauce and garnish with rosemary before serving.
I think this also works for our mule

I report on the jellied meat.
It turned out the most that neither is byaka - kaka, incredible muck
The broth is yellow-brown in color, cloudy, the taste cannot be described in words, nothing has frozen.
I want to say that the output fluid has learned a little less than 250 ml. With this volume, two thighs and 6 chicken joints cut should be enough. I want to say that I cooked jellied meat from the same amount of products in the banal SV Scarlett, I get a bang, while the volume of broth is about 350 ml and it is not cloudy, transparent, light and not at all nasty. It chews yes - not very much - but you can still put it out of the mold (and in the Element it just turns out a slurry, even in the form everything is semi-liquid, which one should be put there) And what does Scarlett's temperature regime have everywhere the same 110-120 * C - otherwise pressure will not build up
but the kid had already done everything, he liked it very much.
Here is a photo of this masterpiece

From this, the conclusion: the regime for the jellied meat must be picked up further and the "stew" for this is also not very suitable.

But there is also good news for Nadezhda.
Hurrah!!! I beat the tricky program "pilaf"
So that the program does not reset at the time of throwing cereals, I do this -
1. At the time of throwing cereals, the first two stages with meat and vegetables have already worked out.
2. As soon as MV said that it was necessary to throw rice, I quickly open the lid and immediately with the lid open I turn the lever to the "closed" position
3.I put rice, which is already in a bowl, washed salted and with the right amount of water for cooking pilaf. That is, I just pour out the pre-prepared workpiece, which I do while the second stage lasts (meat with vegetables).
4. Then I slowly begin to lower the MV lid to the bottom, the lever is still closed, I lower the lid with the closed lever to the maximum possible (ie, further the MV will simply not let you lower the closed lid - I do everything very carefully).
5. As we have reached the extremely low position, I quickly turn the lever to the "open" position, lower the MV cover to the end, close it, and immediately turn the lever to the "closed" position - the MV ceases to be indignant
6. I press the START button (be sure! Otherwise the program will not continue, but will hang in standby mode and after a while it will be reset)
Well, that's all - on the timer 55 minutes - that is, the time is approximately the same as on "crumbly grits". In general, during the execution of the program, steam descends in almost the same way as on "crumbly grits" - that is, on the timer, the time is almost the same
I'll look at the result, but I suspect that you don't have to bother with the "pilaf" and after frying the meat and vegetables, finish it on crumbly grits

Surprisingly .. the jellied meat didn't work out. It seems to me that the jellied meat should be wonderful in a pressure cooker. I cooked jellied meat in all of my, I always cooked pike perch on NG, very tasty.

[Tanyulya]

Tanyulya - I have a real stew, not jellied meat.
Since the kid is a big fan of this product, I make it quite often, but I did not dare in Element, having read about Kuku.
Of course, I had a chicken one - this must also be taken into account, but other owners of the Element also had nuances with jellied meat. That is, you still have to adapt.

The Element pressure cooker girls, hello! How long did I surf the Internet before I got here. First, we accidentally got a bread maker. I liked it very much, in terms of the fact that I filled in the ingredients and after 3 hours the bread is ready. So I began to dream about such a magic saucepan. Beginning with multicooker, but having studied the availability of all different things on the market, I came to the conclusion that I still need a pressure cooker. And now a miracle happened on New Year's Eve! Since there was no concept of multicooker, I still haven't figured it out with this technique completely. Although I was already cooking in 3 modes on a whim. Explain to me, please, if it is a pressure cooker under pressure, then it should cook quickly there. And when you read your recommendations, it seems like a lot of time is spent on cooking?

Margarita! Thanks for the pilaf. I will try again, given your experience. It's just that when I put the vegetables MB asked to close the lid, I closed it. And to open and throw rice with the lid closed - you have to contrive.
As for the jellied meat, everything froze perfectly for me, the guests ate and my sister said that her jellied meat did not stand next to mine .. But I still had complaints about it. But I will try to cook again taking into account our common experience. I'll go and see what's in my freezer ..

[Natashok]

Natashok - we are getting more and more
I have both MV and SV - there is something to compare with. In the Element, it is both fast and rather hassle-free, except for some moments.
There are simply separate dishes (for example, porridge), which cannot be prepared faster if desired.

And here is my pilaf - you can just be stunned - incredible yummy

My torment was not in vain

Good afternoon to beginners! Welcome! Our CF has many different modes. There is fast cooking, there is also slow cooking. It depends on what to cook. I threw in unfrozen chicken and after 40 minutes the stew was ready, cheese cakes in 15 minutes, fried meat in 20 minutes.

By the way, I also ventured to cook pilaf yesterday. I did it by default, that is, the time that was offered, and did it according to it. Also with the same errors with closing the lid. But this is 80min !!! But the pilaf turned out to be delicious .... Anyway, I will not understand yet: For example, the programs are frying, stewing, stew, according to logic, and you need to fry, stew, etc. on them. But according to your recommendations, you put fish on baking.And I did so that I would not step on the "rake". there is no time by trial and error, the family wants to eat. And here's how to guess that jellied meat is better on the soup program?

And I fried the fish and put it on baking - everything goes well.
Stew - for meat for soup - I also lay frozen straight - and after 40 minutes everything is ready
Stewing for vegetables.
Roast fry - fry good, I like it
Porridge porridge
With cereals, everything is also clear, like
I just didn't agree with the jellied meat - and everything else seems to be used as intended
Well, pilaf is so that it is not boring - happiness must be achieved

I'm doing an experiment. I set the chicken jellied to boil. Poured water 2.5 liters and while on the soup mode for 1.5 hours. Let's see what happens ...

Hope! Please write later what happened
How much chicken and what parts of it per 2.5 liters of water, how much broth it turned out
final cooking time and what kind of broth tastes and colors

Margarita! Necessarily! I'm interested in myself. Standard chicken - about a kilogram, 2.5 liters of water. I will still interrupt the programs and watch how the process goes. While I decided on Soup, I think about 3 hours are needed. We'll see

ALL HAPPY CHRISTMAS! PEACE IN THE SOUL AND JOY EVERYWHERE ON THE LIGHT CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY!

Honest cooking for 10 days already got it: We went on a diet.
Jellied meat report - cooked for 4 hours on the Soup program. The broth is clear, but not very solid. It was necessary to add gelatin. But they ate it anyway.

Hello everyone! And I thought that it was me who got lost on the Internet. In fact, I am a Kettle. Registered b, but I myself really do not know how to write and where. ... Well, that's all right. But with the Element, with my brains, I definitely broke everything. Cooking what I cook on it! But, as in that Yeralash: “I understand that they do not overlap, but why?” Right now I am preparing borsch with beans without meat. In the frying mode, I fried the beets with onions, folded everything else, filled it with water and put it on the stewing mode. (Why not for soup, I still don't understand?) I set the time for 1 hour. But I cooked on the stove for an hour. We also have it induction, the end time can be set and Zepter pots. I needed it to be fast, but delicious in the oven. Here I read recipes from Tanyulya. She really has a cuckoo. She often cooks in multi-cook mode. We have it, as I understand it, the chef. There the time really indicates 15-20 minutes. Girls, dear, owners of the Element, well, explain to me how to cook quickly ...

Here I read recipes from Tanyulya. She really has a cuckoo. She often cooks in multi-cook mode. We have it, as I understand it, the chef. There the time really indicates 15-20 minutes.

You just need to understand how the cooking times are set in the programs: in Kuku 1054, Tanyulya has an active time, during which the borscht is cooked directly, and you also need to add time for heating, set pressure, then release pressure and steam, so Tanyulya's total is about +30 -40 minutes, and only 15 + 40 = 50-55 minutes.

Each multicooker has its own principle of the device of modes and time

That is why I am calling for help from those who have the Element. I really haven't figured out the principle of work yet, but it seems like it takes very little time to warm up and release steam

[In the Element, we set the TOTAL time - that is, it includes: time for heating and pressure build-up (time to reach the working mode) + cooking time (this is the time that the working mode is working) + the time it takes to discharge steam (heating stops 5 minutes before the end of the program, a weak sound signal is heard, this is the MV stops heating and prepares for steam release, then steam release and a signal about the end of the program)]

If you want to feel the difference in speed, cook jellied meat or whole beets in MV.
Personally, I cook meat borscht in it for 1 hour and 5-10 minutes: 40 minutes meat on stew mode, then add vegetables and another 20-25 minutes on the same mode, add boiled and grated beets at the end of the program and 5-10 min on heating.

It is funny and sad at the same time! Until I figure out how I can get to my forum, wherever I go. I also visited bread makers. Special thanks to Admin, I found a lot of information about starter cultures. I do not want to abuse the yeast! About borscht now ... Such a delicious borscht turned out. My husband comes home for lunch, immediately felt the difference. Everything is soft, but not overcooked. In general, there is still so much to learn about everything !!!. It's good that there is a forum ...

Awww! Girls, owners of the multicooker Element. And where did we all disappear.!? I saw information about broken covers somewhere on a nearby site. She was also alert. What do you think about this? Has anyone found out about the availability of spare parts?

[Natashok]

Natashok
it is not the cover that breaks, but the removable plate, it has a plastic rim - here in the places of screw connections (the screws are very small, it is likely that these are rivets and not screws) and this rim bursts. There, the configuration is complex and there are stress concentrators - right along them and everything falls apart. In the evening, if I have time, I'll post a photo. This is where we insert the plate into the groove in the cover itself.
I turned to the store, because the miracle conversation with the services came out - they refused to accept even in Moscow. They should send me a new plate one of these days. I'm waiting now

To be honest, I don't see anything super scary in this situation.
For many MB models, removable plates are generally sold as a consumable and can be bought in reserve.
I would buy it.
Here is the behavior of the service in this case, I really do not understand.

[Natashok]

Natashok - I bought it on the refrigerator - I turned there for help - the claims department contacted me - they will send a new plate. As far as I understand, this is either a constructive flaw or a factory defect. Unfortunately, I won't tell you where to buy a plate in reserve.
My advice to you - the warranty card contains the addresses and phone numbers of service centers - call the nearest to you and find out if this model of MB is serviced by them.

I will describe in detail my situation - how my ring fell apart, I called the nearest SC (Yaroslavl and Vladimir - we have no SC in Ivanovo)
Conversation results:
Yaroslavl - I did not get through, did not pick up the phone before the New Year, after the holidays, too, no one picked up the phone, calling all day with an interval of 30-40 minutes.
Vladimir - in the SC they said that this MV is not serviced at all - neither under warranty (since there is no contract) nor for money (because they do not know what kind of animal)
Moscow - they said that they would not accept, since I am not from Moscow (so what?), and if they do, they will not give any act either
Then there was the apofigue of everything - in the Moscow SC they gave me the phones of the spare parts stores with which this SC works - call them, explain on your fingers and find out yourself what you need

I called the SC, which are indicated in the guarantee.
So it's best to contact your CF dealer.

In my case, the seller-online store is Cheaper Only Free. It is unlikely that they even have a concept about it. Sold and forgotten ...

For me, this ring also broke, a piece broke off from the bottom. Explicit marriage, since many have such a story.
Although I used it very carefully, apparently the tension of the plastic around the rivets.
I would also like to know where you can find this part? Tomorrow I'll try to call the service.

The seller will send me - I haven’t sent anything yet - I haven’t heard anything about the free sale. The service in my case refused to accept the MV, because of the territorial location - if you are from Moscow, then it's easier for you - they will accept and replace

Wow !!! It seems to me that this is not a marriage. And a specific flaw of the manufacturer. After all, it seems like everyone flies, all the time. Moreover, it breaks down after a short period of operation, as I understand it. And there are already many such cases. We need to sound the alarm so that the services or the sellers themselves take measures to replace these rings.

[there is a whole list of service centers in the guarantor - and as a result, no contract has been concluded with any service. I am not from Moscow and it turned out even more interesting for me - the nearest SC in Vladimir and Yaroslavl - so in one they did not hear about this MV at all, and in the other they did not pick up the phone since last year.Probably, a company that cares about its reputation at least with the SC should have concluded contracts, and not handed us a piece of paper with invalid information]

On a friendly forum I read that these are the screws that connected the metal plate with the plastic rim were overtightened. So the owners of this MV were answered by the representatives of the manufacturer after much bickering.They said that they had already sent a carriage with replaceable QUALITY plates.
To me, this reason for the marriage seems doubtful - with the bolts (screws) overtightened, the plastic will crack IMMEDIATELY and not after several weeks of operation - although everything can be.
The main thing is that this does not turn out to be an error in the design calculations - that is, if the design of this rim is incorrectly calculated, then change this plate at least a hundred times - it will crack.
I wrote on a friendly forum, I will duplicate it here:
I was really pissed off by something else - there is a whole list of service centers in the guarantor - and as a result, no contract has been concluded with any service. I am not from Moscow and it turned out even more interesting for me - the nearest SC in Vladimir and Yaroslavl - so in one they did not hear about this MV at all, and in the other they did not pick up the phone since last year.
Probably, a company that cares about its reputation at least with the SC should have concluded contracts, and not handed us a piece of paper with invalid information

I called the service, they said you are taking the entire MV to replace the cover, but this is to the other end of Moscow on public transport with such a box. I wrote them a letter about whether it is really necessary to drag the entire MV and even leave it there ... Yes, there is still a call from the master, it can cause

Answer SC --- No comment ...
Vladislav, good afternoon!
The defect described by you is mechanical damage. This is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. I can only advise you to contact the store.

Vladislav!
Contact the store, try at least.
Read my post above - the manufacturer has already sent a wagon of these plates. This is a marriage or a flaw in the design of the ring

Good day!
What happened, that everyone's lids were out of order, or after the New Year holidays no one else cooked anything?
I would like to discuss with our CF the modes of croup.
In my opinion, absolutely unnecessary modes (although I tried to cook only buckwheat and rice on them), porridge in these modes turns out to be very dry, even if you want a thinner and pour more water anyway until all the water evaporates the mode ends.
So I want to ask this just for me or all of ours?

Hello! I was glad that I found like-minded people. I thought with their help I would master my spacecraft! But all at once disappeared, you have to master it by typing. Until now, I have not had a multicooker. When the models began to skim, I realized that I needed a pressure cooker, not a multicooker. I needed to download everything and after a short time, everything is ready! But after reading the recommendations, I could not get a grasp on what the advantage of our element is. All their recipes are offered to be cooked in the same way as I, for example, cooked them before on the stove. And when I had to poke around myself, I began to experiment and set the time at times less. Everything really prepares faster. But with cereals, just the opposite. They come out too smeared. Even buckwheat. The first time, pilaf-like, let's go, but 2 times I made a different ratio of the recipe 1: 2. And also got a sticky mass.

Yes, I don't like this sticky mass either, so it looks like I will need to select my regime for the chef.
Although she cooks milk porridge (on the milk porridge mode) perfectly.

[Natashok]

Natashok
And you still have the plastic ring on the removable lid cracked?
