Steamer (discussion of models, tips and feedback)

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.

Even the price is strange, I saw it, something is nitak, or a marriage, or there is another model, with 2 baskets or something else, the Phillips has so many of them that I got confused when I chose. Is this the 5e price? The minimum is now in Yulmart 1590.

[lelik79]

lelik79, this is the price in E5, where such prices are for normal goods. Thanks for the advice on pasteurization, I'm fine with that, I roll it up every year. I put everything in the jars hot, if I fill it with brine, then I also boil it, and put a weight on top of the lids - flat stones, I store them on purpose.

[obando]

obando,
I used to roll it up in the old fashioned way on a lid with a hole.)) Then several cans and lids floated in a saucepan on a stand made of ikea. And now I canning in an airfryer, easier and faster, does not scald with steam, and cans never explode.

Severin has a canning steamer. Huge bucket capacity. Before the airfryer I thought about her. In principle, I would still buy it for the dacha, both as a vedeon samovar and as a water heater.

[mur_myau]

mur_myau, I saw this severin, it was this device that prompted the idea of ​​a double boiler. Well, I'm not ready to pay 4000 rubles for a bucket of tenom, a water heater, and more than one already exists. And there is no airfryer and it is not planned, the apartment is one-room, there is nowhere to store it, I just manage with a multicooker. And I plan to leave the double boiler in the country.

And I plan to leave the double boiler in the country.

Convection oven is also possible.))

By the way, I would buy severin, there are many positive reviews on the Internet. Plus unrelated functions, such as heating water - just for a summer residence.

Eh, a complete bummer! After the order, Philips disappeared not only from my order, but from the sale altogether. Apparently, there is some mistake on the site. I had to place the order again. I ordered UNIT USC-140, let's see. how this steamer will show itself.

Eh, a complete bummer! After the order, Philips disappeared not only from my order, but from the sale altogether. Apparently, there is some mistake on the site. I had to place the order again. I ordered UNIT USC-140, let's see. how this steamer will show itself.

I say, a mistake. Gold will not be sold at the price of silver.

Indeed, it is not for nothing that they say that the ways of the Lord are inscrutable! I bought a double boiler exclusively for sterilizing cans with blanks. But due to stomach problems, the doctor ordered me to go on a diet and eat only boiled and steamed food. Fuuu, for me the word steamer has always been associated with something insipid and tasteless. Imagine my surprise that potatoes from a double boiler are tastier than boiled ones. And the steamed cutlets are great! During these few days after buying a double boiler, I have already tried a lot of things. Now it is, along with a multicooker, the main device in the kitchen. And by the way, I am very happy with UNIT USC-140 so far.

[obando]

obando Share recipes. I, too, had such an opinion about you. And now we use a double boiler every day. The husband even refused to eat fried eggs. Only asks from a double boiler.

Girls, not quite in the subject (put it up for sale in a flea market) ...... about the Brown double boiler.
I bought it a long time ago - I used it for 3 years, at first often: I really respect steamed fish in foil, vegetables for salad, sometimes to warm something up. Then it somehow happened - a new gadget appeared in my multicooker. Naturally, she steamed everything in it, etc.etc .; she removed her steamer; then cook salads for the holiday - I got it out - it turned out that the timer was not working correctly (the spring was twisted); at first I wanted to fix it, but now I'm raking everything out of the kitchen - a complete renovation of the kitchen. I have this baby - there are bowls, the steamer itself is complete - if someone needs to write something in a personal.
I can even shoot a video of the whole brown (in reality, what it looks like; the wire is not damaged, the bowls too ...)
You may need pallets or containers ..... As they say, I want to attach the baby to caring hands.

[Elenta]

Elenta, eh, far away ... My daughter-in-law just rented her Tefal simply invents steamer, I used to use a basket in the cartoon before. My husband is delighted and gave the go-ahead to buy a good steamer, but the new Brown is too expensive for me. And I would buy this.
But I still cherish a secret hope that my daughter-in-law will change with me to a cartoon, I rented my second cartoon to her.
Now I'm steaming lazy dumplings, delicious !!! And before that I steamed champignons - head off!

[svetta]

svetta, I made julienne in a double boiler - it turned out deliciously (I made it from mushrooms and from cauliflower); I also made salmon in cream and garlic + lemon in a double boiler using this principle. Now I've opened tarragon to fish = aroma and taste - not transmitted. still delicious eggplant stuffed with lentils or cottage cheese with garlic and herbs. try to make chicken breast and pineapples on a skewer, everything is in foil - yumka is also good.
And you don't like the Bork steamer - it's expensive, of course - but they say it's a very advanced model.

It's a pity of course.

[don't like it - honey]

And Bork steamer for you don't like it - honey of course - but they say a very advanced model.

It's a pity of course.

I really don't like it - it's expensive. I read the reviews - inconvenient in operation, more complaints than enthusiasm.

Yesterday I washed 2 trays with holes in Tefali from lazy steam dumplings. Well, sho say ... darkness. I do not have a PMM, so now I understand what the bottom of the baskets should be. I think Brown still rules.

And further.
I would like to draw your attention to the heating element itself, which gives the steam itself (Tefal model) No holes, tubes that get clogged - nothing! (red liquid - I am cleaning the heating element itself with lemon juice, just a little bit left)

But the tray for collecting the draining juice and water - it is deep, and dripping fat and juice cannot get inside the heating element.


This is the whole internal structure, in my opinion, very well thought out in terms of descaling and collecting liquid.
Who has the same design and in which model?

I read about Scarlett SC-343 and ordered it. Now a promotion with the distribution of promotional codes for online trade ru, so it cost 860 rubles. Unfortunately, Brown was not there in the price list ...
I will make khinkali for a couple. I have never eaten anything for a couple in my life. In any case, I don’t remember something ...
Supra 308 bought it, took it to my mother. I never even used it ...
And the price for Braun FS-20 is already quite normal, from 2700r you can find it.

Now tests are underway, khinkali (as I call them) are being prepared, but steamed, like manti. I made minced meat 70 + 30 beef / pork, onions, cilantro, salt and black pepper in ground minced meat. Fitted 5 pieces on each floor. Quite a lot of holes were covered with them. In addition, the lower floor was already hot and in steam, and upstairs there was not even steam at all and the trough was cold. But the process has already begun at the top. Delivered 45 minutes. I don't even know how much is needed. Milk dough, 50/50 premium and whole grain. In addition to salt, I did not add anything else there. I wait with a rumbling in my stomach.
There are two partitions in the set for the scarlet.

I don’t know about Brown, but Scarlet’s outside is dripping with condensation, though only a few drops. The cover is led and a gap of 1.5 mm. about. Khinkali swelled and looked like pies (you can't hold them with a pimple), I’ll hardly eat more than three, but the smell is already on the whole apartment ...
It is clear why the tails are not eaten ... they are dry.Yes, and the edges of the dough piece had to be rolled out thinner, and the middle, on the contrary, thicker (the bottom was torn in some, and the folds were dry). But this is the first time I did it. I will take into account in the future or I will pinch in a semicircle.

The third tier would not hurt (in NG, we cook one pot of 7 liters in a uniform), it seems like there should be enough power. Although on the second tier, preparations begin 5 minutes later ...

so I became the owner of a double boiler, I really wanted a stainless steel and accidentally found it on the Internet
🔗

decided to share, suddenly there are people who are as confused about plastic as me

My husband is delighted and gave the go-ahead to buy a good steamer, but the new Brown is too expensive for me. And I would buy this.

I do not have a PMM, so now I understand what the bottom of the baskets should be. I think Brown still rules.

It’s not in vain that I say: "Everything that we now have was once our dream!"
Back in April, I dreamed of Brown, and on July 30, I became the proud owner of this double boiler. I won it in the competition !!!!!!!

Sveta, congratulations !!!! I know and remember that you wanted this particular model! Dreams Come True!

[Elenka]

Elenka, so I also starred in "All will be good!", where the competition was held.

Nothing yourself! That's lovely! And when will the transmission be dropped?

[Elenka]

Elenka, somewhere between September and October.

How not soon ...
Sveta, what did you cook?

[Elenka]

Elenka, this https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=301007.0 - almost that.

[Who has the same design and in which model?]

But the tray for collecting the draining juice and water - it is deep, and dripping fat and juice cannot get inside the heating element.

Who has the same design and in which model?

Yesterday they gave me a seb steamer, so it has exactly the same device as your Tefalevskaya)

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalal, Sveta, I already have a steamer with the same design, this is Brown, I told you above how I won it.

By the way, the day after tomorrow, October 1, there will be a program with my participation in the competition.

But they unexpectedly gave it to me, I think what to do with it) so far, only vegetables for salad in my head. But I make Olivier and vinaigrette only a couple of times a year (
The green beans are still in the fridge, maybe I'll cook them. Although boil it in water for about 10 minutes.
Until it fits into my head that meat from a double boiler will be tastier than from an airfryer, multicooker, pressure cooker, frying pans .....)))

Look here the topic for a start "I cook in a double boiler, I made sure that useful can be tasty))" #

A question for the owners of the Brown double boiler ... Tell me the steam from under the lid comes out where it is intended to go, where are the holes from the lid? or in the middle too? I bought a new model BRAUN FS 3000 (made in China), so when heated, the lid bends a little in the middle and steam comes down not only from the lid, from the holes, but also in the middle, not much, but the side fogs up from the outside ... if you press in these places, then the condensate immediately evaporates. Interestingly, Brown 20 also bends the lid slightly upward when heated? When cooled down, the lid is perfectly flat and adheres well to the steam basket. You have to put something heavy on the lid so that it fits snugly against the basket.

[Yolka]

Yolka, I have a Brown 20, I didn't seem to notice this with my steamer. What is the power of your steamer? Maybe maybe more than the old model and that's why the steam blows harder?

Power 850 ... yes, everything is the same with yours, only the design has been changed and can be stored compactly ... the upper bowl is slightly smaller and can be inserted into the lower one for storage.Yes, I forgot, and the smell of plastic has not passed yet ... I cooked 4 times.

Most likely the matter is in the density of the plastic.

I carefully read the whole (all! I did it) topic and still decided to choose the Braun FS20.

I would like to thank all the participants and participants in the discussion for their opinions, advice and recommendations.
My requirements were:
- not too big - the family is small, all the little ones, so we cook a little, so I immediately stopped at 2 bowls
- consuming not too much energy (for a brown, just like, within 900), but not a "brake"
- easy to clean (tired of wiping holes in a regular steamer)
- without unnecessary bells and whistles. For example, I do not want to pay extra for additional containers like cups - at home there are enough different heat-resistant dishes that can be placed if necessary.

I really hope that I was not mistaken with the choice. Today I will test the purchase.

I watched the updated brown model - FS3000 WH, but somehow I doubted, there are few reviews.

Pay attention to the lid, steam comes only from the holes or even in the middle ... like mine, and whether condensation accumulates on the outer edges of the lid.

[Yolka]

Yolka, I have Brown 20, steam comes only from the holes in the lid, there is no condensation.

Well, we must probably draw conclusions ... Buy a new 3000th (more beautiful type) updated Chinese model or an old proven German assembly. Today I will check in the store whether the lids are the same in size, if so, I will order myself a lid from old Brown.
The check is done: the lid from model 20 is suitable for the 3000th, but the baskets from model 20 to 3000 do not become, the basket can be put only with its own pallet, the lids also differ in color, in model 20 it is slightly yellower and a slightly different cut inside the sides ...
I solved the problem perfectly, with two clothespins (sold in DUSK), they hold very well.

Hello to the Braun FS20 Club members!
I myself have been using this brand for ten years. Basically - in a single-basket version.
And joys met, and troubles accumulated.
Now I settled on the Polaris PFS 0208D model - in the single-basket version it surpasses the FS20 and is much cheaper.

Hello fans of the Braun FS20 steamer, I don’t know how anyone has what and where it is, I’m okay, she’s my first assistant, everything is fast and easy, I cook steamed dumplings, any cereals, steamed apples, cutlets, chicken meat, potatoes for a couple, I even made cupcakes, I have been using it for three years now and there are no complaints. I recommend to all.

I have a Scarlett SC-1142. I have had it for 5 years now, I cook it often in it, then clean it up and forget it. now got it out again, like it at home. I am more relaxed about steamed food, because I was on a "steam" child from grade 3 to 11 due to illness. Actually, it's delicious, I especially like eggs, rice and cutlets, the only thing is: she cooks for a long time, the electricity bills are fantastic. So, apparently, it will soon have to be removed again.

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, most likely, the inner tubes are clogged with scale in your steamer, which is why it cooks for so long. I once bought a used double boiler and cooked potatoes for 2 hours, and then they explained the reason to me in the repair shop. It is almost impossible to descale these tubes inside, so I gave the steamer back to the seller.
After a while I got a BROWN steamer and I don’t know grief. She has a different principle of steam formation, no tubes. Look at my answer No. 562 on page 29, where I showed the design of the heating element - such a design will never get clogged with scale. Do you have such a structure in Scarlet or tubes inside? Read carefully my post about dripping juices from products. This also clogs the tubes.
I think you'd better buy a new steamer and enjoy a healthy meal.

And who can tell, the same manti from the store how much to soar in Brown? And then I looked, to be honest, I got confused in time intervals.
Thank you in advance.

[torturesru]

torturesru, it seems to me, also depends on the quantity.
I would put it on 40-45 minutes.Then look at readiness.

[torturesru]

torturesru, usually for 30-35 minutes

Girls with Braun FS 20, tell me! You also seduced me with this model. It is clear that it has not been on sale for a long time, I joke about Avito, fortunately, they are presented there in a sufficient number, and so,
QUESTION:
in the photo there is a white control handle, and there is a blue one - they are somehow different, do not you know? How should a REAL, German (ready for what will be an ancient) FS20 steamer look like?

And then even in the pictures on the Internet in different ways - there are pictures (not photos) generally only with a pen (blue) and without icons with food and time on the front panel, there are with a white pen and pictures ... I sit, scratching my turnips.
Where to look at her nameplate - Schaub make sure that "Made in Germany"? - I want German, not China (or wherever else), like modern models.

I have this Brown, bought a hundred years ago, but it still works without problems

I have a Brown with a blue handle and also the original Germany, I got a new one from the store in 2014. The view is exactly like the Admin picture, there are icons on the panel, the handle is blue.

The bottom of the steamer is embossed "Made in Germany". And a photo of the complete set of a double boiler

And I have it like in the pictures. Has been working for more than 14 years. My first kitchen appliance At the bottom is embossed that was made in Germany.

I went to check it, I have a blue pen, the icons are a sticker, you glue it yourself. On the bottom it says "made in Germany", I found out just now. I thought it was China.

Pay attention to the lid, steam comes only from the holes or even in the middle ... like mine, and whether condensation accumulates on the outer edges of the lid.

We have 3 steamers Brown FS-20. (The oldest model still has bowl dividers)
Never once did steam go anywhere, except from the holes in the lid intended for the release of steam, the sides are clean
The lid does not bend during operation.
On my oldest model, the icons were painted directly on the case, and on models purchased 5-6 years ago, we have already pasted them ourselves. All three have blue pens.
The difference is that the old model has strips that can be used to divide the bowl into 3 parts, while the newer does not.

My double boiler is stationary and works every day, at the same time humidifying the very dry air of my apartment.
Turkey is cooked in one pot, zucchini is stewed in the second (I am not a fan of fried in flour and oil).
I also cook dumplings, manti, khanums, dumplings, dumplings in it
I don’t remember when I cooked potatoes in a saucepan. Soup is also more like it in a pot in a double boiler.
Naturally, all the vegetables for the vinaigrette and salad are also in it.
I want to add that it is better to cook in it using 1 basket.
When cooking in 2 baskets, it is recommended to swap them, after half the cooking time., But juggling with hot baskets and with trays filled with boiling water is not convenient. Also, the vegetable insert can only be placed in the upper basket.
Also, after 1 hour of cooking, the trays are filled with boiling water and they must be drained, then water is added to the tank and boiled, if it takes more than 1 hour.
Over time, the baskets still stain, especially from vegetables and corn, odors are also absorbed a little into the plastic, after the meat you need to wash with mustard.
In the oldest steamer, I knocked off the handle from the basket, accidentally dropping it on the floor
