Multicooker-pressure cooker (models, features, modes, tips, reviews)

Girls, thanks. Then another question. And when cooking the same dishes, for example, cook for 1 hour in MV, 20 minutes in SV, what will eat more electricity, SV or MV? I'm just wondering whether to set day / night counters, bother or not? It seems that I want to save some money, but I don't want to cook at night, although I will most likely buy anyway ... Patient, like most on the forum, to kitchen appliances and spillikins

SV power - 600 watts. + pressure surge ... from half an hour. Total, 0.9 kWh. In MV, the power of the extinguishing mode is about 300 watts. Total - 0.3 kW * h. Another question is baking. The MV has the same 600 watts. Total 0.6 kWh per pudding. But in MV the meat will not boil down in an hour (the same lamb), and in SV it will boil down. It takes 4-5 hours for lamb to stew well in MV (for me), in NE - an hour. Total in SV - 0.6 kW * h, and in MV - 1.35 kW.
The crazy error in my calculations is that I have 6 liters of SV, and 2.5 liters of MV. I don't know any other capacities.

That is, cooking in SV will be more economical.

[Hairpin]

Hairpin that's for sure?

SV power - 600 watts.

No more? I thought SV - kilowatt,

Girls, who's home with the pressure cookers? I remember that 600 watts is 6 liters ... Although on the first page - 900 watts ... I'll look at the nameplate at home ... So until evening ...

Unit
# Power 1000 W
# Inner bowl capacity 6 l

She went to the nameplate. I have a SV LL for five liters, the power is 900 watts. I apologize for the incorrect information.

Oh, you better not bother. Earlier, 4 years ago, when we just installed the day / night meter, it seemed to be more profitable, and in recent years the price ratio has changed so many times that everything is not so rosy. I always try to put the washing machine and dishwasher on at night. I also often start the bread maker by the morning, and with all this, I recently counted how much more I would have to pay if only everything was at the same price (I took the price for those who had a one-rate meter) and the difference turned out to be fifteen rubles, despite the fact that we burn up a month very decent. It was a shame to the eerie! I'm adjusting here, trying to push everything aside for the night, but I could not strain and pay almost the same money. Our state of the figs can be fooled. You will not succeed in winning.

Good afternoon hostess. I beg your pardon, educate the "illiterate", what is the difference between a multicooker (Panaska 18) and a pressure cooker (for example Unit), according to the description in the net, I cannot understand much of the difference.

A pressure cooker, unlike a multicooker, can cook food with increased steam pressure inside the pan. which significantly shortens the cooking time.

It should also be remembered that the taste of the dishes from the pressure cooker is slightly different and it should not be opened during cooking.

Thank you very much for the clarification to BuBu and Aunt Basia.
But I can’t decide what I can’t buy .. or maybe both?

If you are not constrained in funds, then both are better, since after buying one multicooker it becomes clear that one is not enough.Many people buy the same second, but they do not differ at all, and in the case of buying a multicooker-pressure cooker, you will have two similar, but at the same time different, according to the principle of cooking, pots.
Now it's hard for me to say what I use more often - a Panasonic multicooker (I have two of them, of different sizes) or a Unit pressure multicooker.

Fuh, I read all 27 pages about the Multicooker-pressure cooker, but I can ask the question for the hundredth time what to take. I can’t take this and that. what is necessary
1. Boil porridge and so that in the evening you can put and feed the child in the morning - in general, this is the main thing. daughter wakes up early, and serve fresh, hot porridge
2. Regarding baking, you write in such a way that saliva flows, tell me, I often bake in the oven, in the oven it works the same way. then what's the difference with a cartoon (with a pressure cooker, it's clear, faster)
3. Then there is a function for a couple, we do not favor this in the family, the husband does not have healthy food, but he needs fatter food, but all the same, these functions are in both of them and can any manti be cooked?
4. Regarding electricity, who eats more or a pressure cooker?
And the last question about the "real" store I wanted to know, there, probably, the prices have increased and it is not 2400r it is there, otherwise we have to go far, we do not have it in the area. no one knows if she is there and how much for the money
I will be very grateful for the advice, otherwise I have already chosen 1.5 weeks, I need to quickly take a gift to the village. myself

1. For these purposes, a multicooker is better.
2. Baking tastes different in the pressure cooker, I don't like it. And the difference between an oven and a multicooker is that you don't have to keep an eye on the mules.
3. It is very convenient to steam vegetables for salads, vinaigrette. I cook eggs in a slow cooker. Manty I think you can, but I never cooked.
4. The pressure cooker eats more, but cooks faster, so I think it's about the same.
I think we should forget about 2400. Regarding the pressure cooker, you can contact Tillotama, she has 4 and 5 liters.

I am using the two units equally well.
Now I am addicted to cooking milk porridge in a pressure cooker, but I still let the porridge stand in the heating mode for a while after the mode ends ..
The electronically controlled pressure cooker also has a snooze timer.
I like baking from a multicooker.
Make casseroles the same way.
Satisfied with both assistants.

I am using the two units equally well.

+1. I also can't imagine myself without one or the other. I have a bigger pressure cooker for soups - when you need to cook the meat quickly and then fill the soup. And for baking, a multicooker is really better. Porridge is the same, and there and there, corn is better, for example, cook in a pressure cooker, and I like rice from a multicooker.

Eh girls ... duck and I about the same. But the question was posed - what to choose?
I myself have a pressure cooker and two multicooker, and in addition, a master pilaf. The soup pressure cooker will also add to my taste, but more because of the volume, not because of the taste. Meat when where. And I cook porridge only in a slow cooker and pastries are also there.

I have a cartoon and today they brought the long-awaited LL pressure cooker. In MV, I cook manti all the time, I like it more than in a manti cooker, since I wash it for a long time to a manti cooker, and MV is quickly washed.
As for electricity, in the posts above, they already wrote that the MV and the pressure cooker consume electricity in the same way.
Recently, I have also been making baked goods in MV since the consumption of electricity is less. (the oven consumes more electricity).

[Spark]

Spark! Congratulations!!!

And who was not afraid? What a coffin after the multicooker !!!

1. We twist the valve, what to feel when it is closed, when it is open.
2. We take it as a rule, always check before switching on, do not forget about the rubber band.
3. The fact that the lid does not fit very tightly, and a little steam may leak out - do not panic.
4. Before the pressure is set, the valve makes a dashing noise for several minutes, and then it shuts up. Don't panic either.
5. I advise you to start with bean soup (bean or pea) with smoked meats.

Good luck!

My pea soup rose to the lid and the peas boiled in mashed potatoes. I like to cook pea soup more in a cartoon.
But for some reason I cook milk porridge only in SV.
Iskra
Here is such a contraption I once turned out when cooking milk porridge. I cook a lot of porridge for 2 liters of liquid.
Usually, after the end of the program, I leave the porridge to infuse until the heating mode backlight stops flashing.
I open the lid only after the heating switches to constant backlighting, that is, it stops flashing. By this time, the pressure is relieved by itself or significantly weakens.
I rarely relieve pressure myself. And here I was impatient to get the milk porridge as soon as possible. When the pressure was released, the milk mixture began to spray out of the valve. I didn't like it terribly. Now I will do the old way, wait for the light to stop blinking.

Girls! Help me figure out: what is the difference between the LL and Unit pressure cookers. How to choose between them. I saw only pictures on the site. Are they bigger than MV? I'm wondering if I need her. I love kitchen appliances very much. My airfryer is 2 years old, the multicooker is one and a half - already used to it. But space is sorely lacking. There are always two of us in the family, but from time to time children, parents, friends come running. I like everything in the multicooker, except for the cooking time. For a very long time! Advise whether it makes sense to buy. None of my friends have it, but I already want a new device.

I don't see any difference between LL and Unit.
The electronically controlled Unit has a 6L cooking pot, while the LL has 4, 5 and 6 liters.
Maybe I'm wrong.
But only buy with electronic control. There's a snooze timer in there, I need it.

[that is, if we cook soup or broth, the valve cannot be turned ??]

Good day to all
Yesterday I began to master the long-awaited CB. At first I closed the lid incorrectly, but then I figured it out. To begin with, I cooked meat for the soup, in the course of work, questions arose accordingly.
1. In the instructions in clause 5.8.2.- move the valve to the "Exhaust" position. When cooking foods with a high moisture content, do not recommended! turn the overpressure valve. that is, if we cook soup or broth, the valve cannot be turned ??
2. How the program works Feature selection ???
3. There is no risk on the lid of the pan that would show that the valve is closed, you need to get used to it ???.

1. If you turn the valve while boiling soup, it will spit boiling water. Therefore, it is impossible.
2. I don’t remember ... I don’t use it.
3. The most adapt.

Tillotama has a few photos that show where the valve is looking during cooking, and where it is open. And in general, a little about the principles can be deducted.

I haven't bought it yet, but I'm already in the mood. I would like to decide on the displacement. If the saucepan is 5 liters, how much soup can you actually make? And further. Girls who have both a multicooker and a pressure cooker, how much SV duplicates a multicooker, or is it a completely different device. As a rule, I do not need them to plow at the same time, I just want a faster and different machine. And another question: is it much larger and heavier than a multicooker?

is it much larger and heavier than a multicooker?

Namnooooooooooooooo !!!

Well for me a pressure cooker for pea / bean soups and lamb dishes. For the rest, a slow cooker and a slow cooker.

Just in case, I repeat that in order to save time, a slow cooker is better for me.

I bought SV for quick cooking, but I'm still just mastering it. It's bad that there are no recipes and proportions in the CB, how much to put.
MV weighs about 2 kg., And SV 10 kg, because it has an internal bowl for mine of cast iron or alloy.
Noverno soup, I think you can cook 4 liters - if CB is 5 liters. In the instructions for CB it is written that it is impossible to pour liquids to the eyeballs.

[Panevg1943]

Panevg1943 The instructions for the Unit say!

Pressure cooker UNIT USP-1000D electric

Power, W 1000
Capacity, liters 6.0
Case material stainless steel
Electronic control panel
Removable inner baffles steam grill
Removable non-stick bowl yes
There is a measuring cup and a spoon
Automatic shutdown is
2 year warranty
Weight, kg 10

But I have LL, unfortunately, I did not read in the instructions how much it weighs, but for interest I can weigh it today

Eva 10 a small amount of food can be prepared

Hairpin You are absolutely right! Question about the pressure cooker
I have LL and there is no "Meat" mode, there is a "beef" mode

I just realized that the weight of the device is 10 kg (plus, minus 1 kg does not matter). I have a kitchen of 7.5 sq. m., a large dining table. When I don't use the bread maker, I drag it into the room, and this device is even cooler. Not satisfied. So I can't decide whether I need it if I have a multicooker or just buy another one almost multicooker.

[Eva 10]

Eva 10
If you do not have a need for quick cooking, then you can not buy.
In my opinion, the main difference between MV and SV is in the cooking time, and the rest is practically the same.

[10 Kg]

10 Kg... it's probably with packaging.
I have Unit 1000, they are almost identical with LL. Mine weighs 5,200 without cord. I specially went to weighed it and took a picture of it next to the multicooker and the airfryer.



I weighed on a bathroom scale, so consider the +/- margin of error.

Well, to be honest, lately I have been using a pressure cooker more often than a multicooker. Not because I didn't like the multicooker, but somehow it turns out that what I want to cook comes out better in a pressure cooker.
I only cook soups in a pressure cooker. And porridge and side dishes only in a slow cooker. Baking is somehow now neither there nor there, but only in the oven (just large portions are obtained). It is more difficult with meat - depending on which recipe. And steamed vegetables in a pressure cooker are quickly obtained and a lot of them fit (there the stand is located close to the bottom and almost the entire space of the saucepan can be filled with vegetables), it is just right for salads.
In general, according to the number of workloads, the pressure cooker comes first. Somehow it happened so by itself.

You can see the range of pressure cookers and purchase them at a wholesale price here: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&Itemid=26&topic=9114.0

Before buying SV, I also read somewhere that it weighs 10 kg, which made me horrified. But when I tried to lift it in the store, I was immensely delighted. It weighs a little more than a multicooker. I can easily carry it around the apartment.
And the saucepan is not cast iron at all, but aluminum, only thicker than the multi, because it needs to withstand pressure.
natalka
I also began to use the pressure cooker more often, in the cartoon I mainly began to make baked milk and biscuits.

....... I read the instructions, and there the forest is thick and dark. Nothing, I quickly mastered it.

The same thing happened, yesterday on my mother's website on the network I came across a post about the first days of mastering CB, Lyra wrote very good and detailed instructions for using CB and several more recipes, there is also a table in which the name of the products and the cooking time are indicated, and also wrote how to use it correctly.

I'm still having problems with closing the lid, I just can't get used to it, but I've already figured out the valve.

Today I weighed my LL - 5 kg.

[Iskra]

Iskra, since I am talking about the pressure cooker so far only theoretically, I forgot that the girls wrote about the possibility of frying with the lid open. But the cooking times are impressive.In a cartoon, if you cook soup, especially pea soup, then well, very long. And here the girls write - in 50 minutes. Just a dream! The rest is probably even faster.

[Iskra]

Iskra, for some reason it seems to me that adapting to a pressure cooker is not much more difficult than to a multicooker and AG. The words "pressure relief, steam release" make a terrifying impression on me. And somehow the valve must be put correctly. But you write "program rice - 2 times." After the first time, do you relieve this pressure, or do you just click on "rice" again in a cartoon? I can press the buttons, but the valve ... I can't even evacuate air in the marinator. If my husband is not at home, then I do not use it. I tried so hard - that's all.

It's only scary when I haven't tried it yet. In fact, as you will see, no special skills are required. Many people have used pressure cookers before, but the old ones were really dangerous, and in these modern electric pots, the safety level is several times higher. With the valve, it is enough to turn on cooking once and that's it. Never get confused again. Everything is very simple.

In CB, as well as in MV, after cooking the dish, the pan itself goes into heating mode. I just clicked on cancel and put it on "rice" again, it is not difficult to relieve pressure, I just slowly open the valve and that's it,
Natalka Writes correctly! You need to adapt and then it will not be scary. UC I still have a problem with closing the lid, it is not always possible to close it correctly the first time.

Once upon a time we had one. Mom was very pleased. And I have an electric stove and I didn't even try to buy it. And I'm completely armless in terms of technology, but I figured out with AG and cartoons very quickly. I think that everything will work out here too. Thanks for the support. The only thing I didn't understand is whether it will turn itself off, like a cartoon, when the liquid boils off, if you don't calculate in manual mode and set too much time?

[eva10]

It's just scary at first. But for the second time you will come to SV as a soul mate.
The instructions recommend removing the pressure by wetting a towel with cold water, throw it over the lid of the saucepan and let it stand.
I sometimes throw in a towel soaked in cold water and turn the valve under the towel with a spoon. A spoon is so as not to burn yourself.

The only thing I didn't understand is whether it will turn itself off, like a cartoon, when the liquid boils off, if you don't calculate in manual mode and set too much time?

As far as I understand, during the operation of the SC, the cover is in the closed position (until it clicks), i.e. it is sealed. Therefore, the liquid does not evaporate. The liquid can only be absorbed into the cereal, in this regard, the amount of water decreases. Pressure creates steam, if there is no liquid, then there will be no pressure. I think that with this option, what is being prepared can be fried. But on the other hand, since the cooking time in the UK is still short, then nothing terrible should happen.

If there is a lack of moisture, the pressure cooker turns OFF! That is why on the "meat" program (when you want fried, not stewed and because of this, less water is poured or not poured at all), it sometimes turns off very quickly. It is necessary to fry on "baking". Cabbage rolls and meatballs are also difficult to prepare - not all programs cope. Personally, I manage to turn on this only on "baking" or in manual mode. The rest of the programs do not have enough fluid to build up pressure. Well, and accordingly, it, like a cartoon, goes into heating mode, and it can also be turned on with a delay timer.

Gentlemen, tell me, is it possible, when you cook the first in the "quenching" mode, to pour more liquid than in the saucepan marked? I have a small cartoon, but I want to prepare a little more of the first than according to the markup))) If you pour more, will it cook or not have enough power?

[BEGiMOT]

BEGiMOT
in MV you can! in NE can't
The food does not boil in the "extinguishing" mode, so nothing terrible will happen

And I try not to pour more liquid than it should be in the malt cooker. Still an electrical appliance. If it is small by 2.5, then it will not work out large with all the efforts.

The main thing is that the valve does not sink in the liquid. Well, it depends on the program. On stewing, it really does not boil and you can pour more, but it is better not to use milk porridge or buckwheat.

Boil-off of liquid from CB and MV with closed lids is practically zero.
On the "stewing" mode, let it be meat, poultry or vegetables, I do not pour water, just a little, drip a little oil.
All products on this mode in CF give a lot of their own juice, which is what I like.

In the stewing mode, I like to cook the best, it takes a little time and it turns out very tasty))) only a little comes out)))

Since "little comes out", then it's time to buy a large multicooker or a multicooker pressure cooker.
