Hello! please write Steamer DEX DS 900 E how? + and - just the whole branch has no time to read ... stick your nose please like plastic?

I got a double boiler, I didn’t look closely because I’ll take my mom for a gift, I checked for cracks, and for now, I’ll see it, I’ll try it out for the weekend.

what can you say about this model?
🔗

Why take a pig in a poke? The model is not widespread, it is not clear how it will recommend itself. Isn't it better to take a "worked out" model.
Moreover, she does not have trays for collecting liquid, everything will flow downward. The containers expand upward in volume - this is generally nonsense, since the upper ones get a lot less steam than the lower ones, and then they are also increased. On the 3rd tier, nothing will be prepared at all in the near future, until the steam reaches it ...

Thank you. So I'll take Brown.

I didn’t work with Brown, I let one shop down. There is little time left before the New Year. Please advise a standing double boiler. We urgently need to give it to parents. Help, friends, with advice.

Look at Philips HD9140, I also chose once. We are very pleased with her. Read about it here: 🔗

Thanks, but I didn't find this steamer in the stores I usually use.

Girls, who can take pictures, please, the entire set of BRAUN FS 20. I ordered myself for the new year in Elborado through an Internet store, but it was not available in our city, it was only in the next one, my husband had an acquaintance there, asked to buy it. He bought, checked everything for integrity, at first glance, everything seemed to be complete, but naturally he did not go into details, he sent it to us with a friend in a car, which was driving to our city. In the end, when they received it, opened it, they realized that two gray bowls were missing, as I understand it, bowls for rice and another gray bowl with holes. To be honest, I'm not completely sure what they should be. It's a shame I don’t know what to do, he seems to have to go to the magician to ask to look for thickets, or send it back and return the money. And I don't want to.

Steamer set BRAUN FS 20


1. Steamer body with a mechanical switch, a steam generator and a tank for filling water.
Electrical cord hidden behind the body
2. Nozzle accelerator on the steam generator.
Thanks to this nozzle, the vaporization rate is less than 40 seconds! Be careful, the detail is outstanding, but steam does not form without it
3. Tray for dripping liquid (2 pcs)
4. The main bowl of a steamer for steaming food (2 pcs)
5. Transparent plastic cover
6. Bowl for rice and liquid food (you can cook soup or any liquid food in it)
7. Bowl for coloring products (carrots, beets)
8. Partitions in the main bowl (not included in the mandatory package)

[Admin]

Admin, thank you very much. Well now everything is clear, we don't have 6 and 7 bowls

[Admin]

Admin, thank you very much. Well now everything is clear, we don't have 6 and 7 bowls

If this is very important, I don’t use these bowls at all. I put mine according to the required size and need, or I use foil.
My steamer recipes are here #

Happy New Year! :
I use cups, I have not found a replacement for them. In bowl 7 I cook beets and pumpkin, and in bowl 6 I sometimes cook puddings, steamed gingerbread, several times cooked fish soup according to Admin's recipe.
I managed to buy dividers for a steamer at Aukro auction, I do not use it often, but they are very necessary.

I already thought about the foil, the 7th bowl really may not be so necessary, but the 6th one is very necessary. What a wonderful fish soup you have in it, and I took the Meat Terrine into the bookmarks
And surely you can order a bowl at the service center? I need to call to find out.

Kolizeika, do not lose faith, maybe everything will become clear and your cups will be found in the store.

Hurray, hurray, hurray girls, my baskets were found. I wrote to the Eldorado website, attached all the receipts and photos, gave a link to the instructions and packaging, and today they called me and said that my baskets are safely in the window when they were checked for packaging, the service specialist forgot to put them back. Now the drivers of the store have a weekend, I can pick them up in my city only on the 15th, I'm so glad that they were found and will soon come to me
Girls, Merry Christmas to you !!! Be healthy and well-being to you and your family and friends

[Kolizeika]

Kolizeika, Congratulations! Hurrah!
I thought about something like that, they couldn't just underinvest.
Happy Holidays, too!

Hello girls! I have not visited the forum for a long time .... Girls, dear ones, do not consider it for advertising a model of a double boiler, but let me also express my gratitude to the manufacturer of the model, and tell the hostesses the firm of an excellent double boiler. My first double boiler was Brown for two containers ... somehow I didn't make friends with her (the rice didn't work the first time, but it's her fault! A year later, I realized why) ... I gave it to my godmother, she I was delighted like a child)))) Then, time goes on and there was again a need to purchase a double boiler (gave birth to a child) ... I decided to take it with water (I no longer indicate the companies, so I would not create anti-advertising for companies) ... works well, the rice turns out to be excellent, but .... the dishes are not the same ((((due to not the drip section (((... bought a third company, with topping up and a drip collection section ..... everything is super, but .... just now I realized what a simpleton I am ((((it cost so much time to lose and money (n experimental with steamer companies), to understand how lucky my godmother is to receive a gift from me!))))) Better and more convenient than a steamer BROWN, I never saw it! So, now I have the fourth steamer in a row, but already the one in which I do not have tea - my first choice is Brown!)))

Took to work, to use a steamer at the kuma
Put carrots and potatoes

For garnish

For salad



Set for 30 minutes
While I'm waiting, it's not ready yet.

And I'll tell you that I am pleasantly surprised. The carrots are delicious and very sweet and the color is amazing. I liked the potatoes too. Now the floor is for my household. To buy a steamer or not to buy. We must also try frozen vegetables. What kind of vegetables do you cook, I mean, frozen-storey mixes?

Yeah, I also like steaming vegetables for salads. I have enough steam basket for this multi.

I also cook them, as you cooked carrots and potatoes. It's even easier, you don't need to clean anything! I cook with both chicken and fish ..., with a minimum of body movements, a wonderful result is obtained. For me, it's generally ideal, but my husband sometimes wants fried or baked meat, vegetables are great from a double boiler for a side dish. Often I make potatoes, frozen vegetables, chicken, fish, in a separate small jar of red lentils or buckwheat groats, for example, pour some water there - all this can be cooked in a double boiler at the same time.Sprinkle fresh herbs on the plate, an excellent multi-component dinner for the whole family is ready! I love my steamer Brown! And how convenient it is to cook vegetables for salads or vinaigrette, I immediately cut them into cubes and in a double boiler, then cool a little, add the necessary ingredients at discretion - and Olivier or vinaigrette, or whatever salad is ready in a matter of minutes!

[Vasilica]

Vasilica For some reason it tasted better to me, it seemed tastier from a double boiler than from a multicooker. Or is this my first opinion?
MelanyushkaWell, what kind of vegetables? what composition?

I confirm, it tastes better from a double boiler. But it is even tastier to cook whole vegetables for vinaigrette, unrivaled taste!

Galina, I cook any vegetables this way - and any mixtures in the freezer, where carrots, green beans, green. peas, cauliflower, broccoli, corn, peppers, I just do it myself - green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, green. peas when I have these frozen vegetables individually. And from fresh ones in general, complete improvisation, which is at hand, then I cut it into pieces and into a double boiler, I also do it on whole cabbage leaves, it also turns out interestingly, and immediately on the sheet I carefully spread it on a plate, cut fresh greens on top, looks very nice in a plate ... There, not only vegetables, but also chicken breast or cutlets along with vegetables can be cooked immediately on these leaves. But I love any vegetables, I even eat such steamed cabbage leaves from a double boiler, my husband does not like such whole leaves. This, apparently, is not for everybody, you can just use them for serving. And yes, I also like vegetables from a double boiler more than from a basket in a multicooker. If I have a steamer, I almost never use this basket for steaming in a multicooker, MV prepares other dishes for me.

[Elenka]

Elenka, Melanyushka Thank you girls for the answer.

Congratulations, congratulations to me I have a double boiler !!!

[Galinka-Malinka]

Galinka-Malinka, Congratulations!
This is the best steamer! I am very happy with her!
I often use juice from the pallet when cooking cabbage rolls or meat, chicken liver for making sauce.
I somehow already shared a good purchase for this steamer, I bought two separators for PV Brown at Aukro.
These dividers used to be included in the package with this model, and then they did not. But there are grooves in the baskets. This is what I mean, if you see separators somewhere - take it!
Very handy stuff.

[Elenka]

Elenka Thank you, I have plates in the kit, but there is no book with recipes

Well, the vegetables are boiled for vinaigrette. I am very pleased.

But such a dinner was at work.





The vegetables are very tasty. I made sauce for them (mayonnaise, sour cream, balsamic vinegar and mustard with grains.
And fish, fish Seabass is not pickled at all, only salted, you will yummy fingers.
And it is not at all greasy, not the same as on the grill pan.
Well, I'm sooooo happy.
Thank you so much for being there and writing your reviews, impressions.

[Galina,]

Galina, how delicious!
It’s interesting that you have a set of spacer plates. Where did you buy PV? Maybe Brown has resumed the original package?

[Elenka]

Elenka I bought a steamer from a girl in Kidstdaf. New. Only there is no guarantee, and the box is shabby. It cost me 350 UAH for a girl and 49 for delivery from Kiev and sending money Total 400 UAH. Maybe that's why there are plates. That she was bought a long time ago, the girl said that they were given for the wedding. But they didn't use it. The husband refused to eat so right

[Galinka-Malinka]

Galinka-Malinka, understandably! Lucky you!
By the way, last year in Auchan I saw on sale PW Brown of Chinese production, cheaper than German ones and the quality of plastic is unimportant. It is immediately clear that a copy. I wouldn't buy it.
I bought my own in the Metro for a promotion of a little less than 400 grams.

[no recipe book]

I have plates in the kit, but no recipe book

Galinka, maybe for a start my ideas will help? #
Cook for health, it is very tasty

By the way, last year in Auchan I saw on sale PW Brown of Chinese production, cheaper than German ones and the quality of plastic is unimportant. It is immediately clear that a copy. I wouldn't buy it.

I have seen at least 2 fake Brown steamers. The names are different, but the body itself, the shape is a copy, except for minor differences.
I remember once they released a technique (it's gone now), the name is brOun, and the name itself is written - well, a copy of Brown, you can't immediately understand the catch.
Just do not put, like, I have a steamer lid in direct sunlight, she does not like it.

Advise, scold, praise, please, the following steamers: 1. Philips HD 9120 steamer; 2.Redmond RST M1105 steamer. I am interested in the volume for draining, is it enough for 50 minutes or everything will flow into the main tank; at Phillips, is it really possible to rinse everything, especially the tank with the heating element. What kind of connecting rings does Redmond have, are they made of hard plastic? cracked with frequent washing. Do you wash the bowls in the PPM?

1.

2.

Advise, scold, praise the following steamers:

Pay attention to the grate at the bottom of each tray - all the liquid will freely pass through them from top to bottom, and the water for heating at the bottom will always be dirty, oily. And the liquid from the upper tray will fall on the products on the lower tray, for example, the fish from above will water the vegetables below with its juice.
If this approach suits you, then you can take any of them.

In this regard, the best steamer is BROWN - there is no such movement of liquid in it, there are liquid collectors on each floor.

Even without looking inside, there are still some flaws.
You are worried about washing out the myriad of small holes from the products "stuck" and stuck in them. It is much easier to wash the slots at Brown.
You are unlikely to be happy with the third basket. She is like a fifth wheel or foot. There will be no sense from it - as long as the steam reaches it, the temperature will drop to a minimum. And Phillips even guessed to make the bowls expand upward, although logically it should be done the other way around. So what steam will it get?
Brown's opaque plastic is much stronger than transparent (you never know what falls to the floor). And there is no sense in transparent containers. Everything is fogged up, and it is impossible to determine readiness by appearance.
This is just offhand. I completely agree with Tatiana. No wonder Brown has been releasing this model without changes for ten (at least) years. And what to improve?

[lelik79]

lelik79, look through this topic, not so long ago we chose PV for Svetta. Scarlett has a budget analogue Brown. Exactly the same PV, decent plastic, rice basket, the same size, pallets under the baskets. My friend has been using it for a long time and without any complaints. It costs almost 2 times cheaper.

I also want to confirm the above words. I used Scarlet. Wash murder, maybe just shove it into the MRP. In Brown, I rinsed the baskets and everything ......... there is clean water in the bottom pan, you can just top up, not drain, wash, for the second use, it's very nice that each level has its own pan.
Did not like
1. the trays do not have handles, it is difficult to drain hot water.
2. The bowl for rice or coloring food must not be placed on the 1st level and the second on top.

[Skarlett SC-343]

Analogue of the Brown steamer - Skarlett SC-343... I advise you to take a closer look, if you need not expensive.

I also want to confirm the above words. I used Scarlet. Wash murder, maybe just shove it into the MRP.

Galya, did you use Brown's Scarlett-analog or another model? I have no PMM. Well, I won't ripen in any way ...

Well, on page 27, my post with pictures. not analogous to brown. took from a friend

thank you, dear, everyone for the healthy criticism.

I already took Scarlet, I wanted with electronic control. to live and successfully in 2 months passed, marriage, I no longer want to get involved.

Regarding brown, I am also looking at it, the price is biting, but now I understand that it is very thoughtful, regarding the drainage of juices from each basket, because sewage pollution is the main problem of all steamers.

I count up to 2 thousand. At the moment I have a simple redmond, 5 years old, the heating element is already cracking, I need to change the steamer. I use it every day, it is stationary with water.

The third floor is definitely rare, on holidays.

And everything about washing the phillips, namely, the water tank, is it true that everything is closed in this model and you can't get in and wash it with your hand?

I set myself the goal of buying an inexpensive steamer. But not for cooking, but for sterilizing cans with blanks. There is a lot of information on the internet about how to sterilize empty cans, but there is no information about whether it is possible to put cans with products in a double boiler. And nowhere did I find the height of the bowls. Please ask the owners of the steamers to measure the height of the bowls. It is necessary to decide whether the height of liter cans will fit in a double boiler.

[obando]

obando, look for a three-tiered one, for example, but so that the bottom of the bowls is removed. Then you can place tall cans easily.

Yes, the most important thing is the removable bottom of the bowls, if liter cans; or take a redmond 1105, there are the widest and most voluminous bowls and, accordingly, find low banks.

Until I was 1.5 years old, I prepared food for a child for 3-5 days, pasteurized it in a double boiler in small jars, it is very convenient. And adult food can also be harvested in small quantities, sterility is obtained at a height, in the same place I immediately sterilized the lids. Once the can was lost in the refrigerator, a month later I opened it, everything is clean.

When filling cans, it is better to fill 60-70%, because during pasteurization it swells and climbs up.

do not close the lids tightly, but only put on top of the jar

Thank you all for your prompt responses. It seems that with your help I found what I need. I decided to order Philips HD-9120/00, it is just 3-tier, bowls with a removable bottom and the price pleased - 995 rubles, and with a discount code it will be even cheaper.
