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

Good afternoon everyone. Today is a week since I am a happy owner of a multicooker-pressure cooker. The whole family is delighted.
We bought it by accident, it caught fire with the DEX-50 multicooker, we arrived at METRO, here is this beauty, and next to it is some unknown contraption, they read it, looked and my husband liked this contraption very much, well, they took it without hesitation.
Here is a completely unknown company, Comfortech FY-500. On the site they write that I am doing especially for Ukraine Volume of 5 liters, the ability to postpone the start - 0-24 hours, after cooking it automatically switches to heating mode, 9 cooking modes (grout / rice, soup, meat, chicken / pilaf, beans / tendon, milk porridge, baked goods / cake.vegetables)
In general, if anyone has seen this model in METRO and thinks, take it, it's checked, there are several disadvantages, but there are much more advantages!

Cuckoos (disappointed), I would buy uh now

Lyi, and in more detail so far only those enchanted have come across on my way

Here is a completely unknown company, Comfortech FY-500.

Nataly, - Comfort is the internal brand of Metro, widely known in our narrow scientific circles. Tell us, pzhl, in more detail about the cons of the pressure cooker you bought - you saw, felt, we want to know more

shl. congratulations on your assistant, really, cooking has become more interesting and easier!

And we want to know the price. More expensive than Elbee? And look at the pictures, from her, hunting.

There is no way with pictures yet, I don't know how to insert them
The cost is 700 UAH. In the underground.
Well cons:
1) the saucepan, in my opinion, is a little weak, compared with DEX with him abruptly.
2) Instructions - not brought to mind, but this is the sore of most of these units (judging by the comments)
3) Baking (and other modes) - the hour is normalized, if you need more, we start again.
Pros:
1) Manual mode - you can set the time from 1 to 99 min.
2) On baking, the valve does not work - that is, it works like a simple multicooker - you do not need to pull it and adjust it
3) there is a Taste (relish) function - all programs have three cooking times that you can choose to your taste, for example: meat-hard-18 min., Standard-35 min. soft-50min.
Well, so far, everything that I managed to notice.
Yes, cooking has become much easier, I am very pleased. The family was delighted with pilaf, sauce, cottage cheese

[Lyi,]

Lyi, and in more detail so far only those enchanted have come across on my way

Details.
At first, for no reason at all, milk began to run off on the Multipovar when heating. And the last time it ran away so that everything was flooded inside, under the glass of the display, somewhere inside, from where I can’t wash it until now (I don’t want to disassemble it while it is under warranty), but Cook noticeably fiddles when you stick your nose there ( below, outside under the condensate box grate).
Then, for some time, the Multipovar stopped working and the steam came out in a column with a menacing hiss.
I had already agreed with the store that I would send them for repairs, but when I came to the post office, it turned out that my Cook did not fit into the mail box offered to me along with her original packaging, and did not dare to send without her native packaging. When I was upset, I came home and took a spoke and cleaned the pressure valve heartily (a hint from the store that the pressure valve may not be working properly or the program failed).
Either it influenced, although I cleaned before, but gently: up, down, and now walked around, or she had a month's rest, but Multipovar started working, although I dare not dare to heat milk anymore.
The saucepan looks very bad. Scratched all over.I do not pour my cold water into the flammable saucepan. My Panasonic is not less exploited, bought six months earlier, and all intact, practically without scratches. But, of course, I cook everything: bones, ribs, etc.
Anyway, after her month-long speech, I look at her with apprehension.
Yes, and she is too small for me. I love whole baked broiler chickens, ducks, etc. But in the oven you need to tinker a lot with this and it does not always work out.
In general, now I get Cook like a heavy suitcase, and it's hard to carry (there is no previous confidence) and it's a pity to throw away (that kind of money was spent).
Maybe then I'll leave and love her again?

[IRR]

IRR I don't understand the delight of the cuckoo at all - for that kind of money, you can change the model every year, plus a combination of the same ARC and any inexpensive but functional multi, wipe the cuckoo (especially if a new Brand comes out now with temperature adjustments within 3-3.5 thousand rubles and ARC as pressure cooker). if the cuckoo was at least 5-8 thousand rubles, then yes, it would be possible to feel and speak adequately, and so my IMHO is unrealistically expensive unit

For example, it is very convenient for me in ARC to make meat, and next to it, buckwheat is cooked in polaris and at the same time I put everything on the table, and if I have one device, or combine in the recipe (it quickly becomes boring) cooking the side dish and meat at the same time or wait after the meat until the side dish is ready .. .imho inconvenient.

[Davli]

Davli When induction and pressure cooking are added to the Brand, you get a Cuckoo and its price, respectively. But will it be reliable? Unlikely.
Well, the Chinese do not have 20 years of experience in the production of these products

[sazalexter]

sazalexter honestly - induction is not particularly relevant, polaris and ARC are amazingly able to cope with their shadow from below and everything is fine. ARC cooks under pressure, steamed, bakes, meat, jellied meat = 3200 rubles for 6 liters model and spare rings and buckets are available, you can change the cooking time.
The brand can cook like an ordinary cartoon at low and change the time and temperature = 3-3.5 thousand and that 7 thousand full cuckoo functionality for almost 20 thousand a year, these devices from China will work 100% during this time a lot of new models, clones and so on - that is, for the money of the cuckoo, you can update every year by increasing the functionality (whether it is necessary, I think not), but I think they will work longer, nevertheless, the BBK technique plows no worse than brands and even longer than them, but it costs less

now we conclude - why pay 20 thousand rubles ??? plus, nevertheless, defects and breakdowns in the cuckoo happen (both from the hands of the user and from the factory) and repairs are also more expensive than those of the same Polaris or ARC. that's all the conclusions, but I don't impose my opinion on anyone, I just chose for a long time what to buy and decided - one pressure cooker device, the second an inexpensive functional multicooker (polaris came up) - perfectly by the way makes side dishes from all kinds of cereals, compotes and pastries. and myasko in ARC

by the way, we forgot about mulinex - it plows both low and high, there is only induction (I really don’t know how there is a change in time and temperature), but again its price is 6 thousand - but not 20 thousand (plus mulika, I'm right in the city I'll take it in the store, and wait for the cuckoo from delivery, which also needs to be paid for) and it's definitely not worth arguing about the traditions of Mulinex in production

[Davli]

Davli Yes, induction is relevant where electricity is expensive and when fast cooking is required. It is not worth talking about the traditions of Mulinex, or rather the SEB group. Their pressure cooker seems to be quite good, but the cartoon and HP are very controversial.
Again, the pressure cooker is produced under an ODM contract, what traditions can we talk about? About VVK, yes, it's cheap, but try to find a separate backlight for a 13 * TV set, it is not found in nature. Change with the matrix! And this is just one small example. Cheap equipment from China has a huge drawback, almost always lack of support, starting from instructions and service manuals, and ending with accessories. Brand well, maybe Viconte is perhaps an exception to the rule.Just don't say that if it breaks, throw it out, I don't believe it! Throw out 5-6 people out of a hundred The rest will try to repair or, at best, will send the equipment to the garage, with the words "a miser pays twice" they will go to buy completely different equipment ...

[sazalexter]

sazalexter all examples are not relevant - induction - how much should you cook to absorb the difference in price now, again, about the Chinese - and what is there to fix in cartoons - ten and a thermocouple? yes, a screen with a scarf, that's all their cartoon from my friend Mulinex bread maker, the electrician uncle soldered it in 2 hours (the wires burst there somewhere, going from the winding) and everything is plowing. and buy a cuckoo for 20 thousand, bring it from Moscow (give it back) God forbid inexperienced hands will ruin it, send it there to the service center (if not a guarantee, pay and pay for the return). and now China - drove into any service center - they rang, and the heating element burned out (with the control board, of course, it is more difficult) called the price - liquid, they will immediately replace it and go home, no - I handed it over to him for a certain fee and bought a new one. now on ARC we have been selling it in joint purchases since November last year, of all the breakdowns from those who bought it - a bucket fell, bent, broke the ring - that is, the user's hands, but rings and buckets are also available - hosh wait in a joint purchase to be cheaper, hosh reach 70 km to the warehouse and buy it yourself, well, there are no such advantages in a cuckoo to justify spending 20 thousand rubles. 7 thousand well, even 10, but not 20 thousand

my IMHO for a cuckoo is a very good device, at an unrealistically inadequate price it's like a Bork technique - a turd in a techno-wrapper at the price of a gold bar. here, of course, the product is good, but the price is inadequate

schaz bought quail, today I will make a delicious dinner sparrows pancake then we will try to pinch the guinea fowl

[IRR]

IRR I don't understand the delight of the cuckoo at all - for that kind of money, you can change the model every year:

Duc, I'm of the same opinion, but! for the first time I came across a man who admitted that he was dissatisfied ... so I decided to ask around ...

schaz bought quail, today I will make a delicious dinner sparrows pancake then we will try to pinch the guinea fowl

by the way, about birds ... it is in China that sparrows are sold (on 2 pages of opus) and, in general, an indicative article about the food market in China, where our pans come from.

Duc, I'm of the same opinion, but! for the first time I came across a man who admitted that he was dissatisfied ... so I decided to ask around ...

I confess - I also expressed this opinion on another site, but there was a conflict there, so I keep quiet here.

[IRR]

IRR we have 2 quail factories in the region and one guinea fowl, but it's unrealistic to find processed carcasses, or smoked meat or some other kind. and then I found a path to take straight from the factory for 20 rubles, one carcass I will conjure in the kitchen today

but about the cuckoo - a very overpriced product, even such expensive brands as Panasonic and Moulinex do not raise their prices like that, and so, I am always happy for those who bought and successfully used

[Dopplet]

[even such expensive brands as Panasonic

yes, they are expensive with us, but somewhere in the rice cookers there was a picture - or Doppletor Pakat they threw a photo - there are different rice cookers-multicooker in a row in China and on Panasonic it is modest, or 35 cu. e, only 50

shl. and, by the way, her face from the general abundance is the most so-so.

And I did make a squash in a pressure cooker. It turned out the same as in the cartoon, the current is faster.
By the way, who has ARS .... I did this:
In a pressure cooker maleho vegetable oil + onions + carrots - Heating button. At this time, quickly on a berner zucchini and there, salt, pepper and immediately added tomato paste. Turned off Heating and turned on Porridge, but reduced the time to 10 minutes. Steam did not bleed off at the end. I added garlic to the hot mixture. She poured it into another saucepan and blend it. All. By the way, I have it not very liquid always turns out, probably all the same depends on the type of zucchini too.Well, I always take tomato paste so that at least 25% of dry matter is written, usually 28-30, and I try to take the one that was made in the south, it was made, and not called, for example, Krasnodar, but produced in the Moscow region. refrigerator caviar still slightly thickens.

Well, I always take tomato paste so that at least 25% of dry matter is written, usually 28-30, and I try to take the one that is made in the south, exactly made, and not called, for example, Krasnodar, but produced in the Moscow region

Ha! In Krasnodar we also sell "Krasnodarskaya" and it was produced in Krasnodar, as if in the south ... But after reading the composition, you understand that I WILL NOT take this !!! See what was done in one of the villages of the region.
For example, the composition of Krasnodarskaya tomato paste: tomato paste, thickener and all kinds of E. Sorry, but what is it made of? that tomato paste, which is part of this tomato paste?

Nataly, I searched the Internet for your M.V.Comfortech FY-500 and found nothing. Won't you throw a link?

Ha! In Krasnodar we also sell "Krasnodarskaya" and it was produced in Krasnodar, as if in the south ... But after reading the composition, you understand that I WILL NOT take this !!!

And also pay attention to what percentage of the content of tomatoes in tomato paste.
Now they manage to add only 30 percent of tomatoes (tomatoes) to tomato paste, add cherry plums, apples, etc. to the rest.
You yourself understand that the taste of a pasta made from 100 percent tomatoes (tomatoes) will be much better than from any rabble.
I myself quite accidentally drew attention to this when I drove into a wholesale store, where all this (the composition) is painted in large letters on the shelves, after which I am not too lazy to take glasses with me to read what is written on the bank in small print in the store.

I cooked quail (recipe from cuckoo site 1054 https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=135208.0 ) for ARC instead of "multi-cook" mode "chicken" for 10 minutes. for a side dish in polaris I bungled rice from the mistral (I really like indico in this role). according to the recipe - a fellow Tabasco hot is unrealistically burning (smeared on the little finger the brain almost exploded), but in a mixture with sauces, everything is very good. but still pour more carefully (I poured a teaspoon each and tried it for the spice, I had 20 pieces of birds). Bon Appetit everyone

[Davli or who knows!]

Davli or who knows! I do not yet have a separate subsection for such a pressure cooker - ARC, where should I attach these recipes, what is it closer to, what does it look like?

[Aunt Besya]

Aunt Besya these are brothers (sisters) landlife and unit



there is a little difference in the buttons, but the meaning of the work is the same. the picture shows the very first version, in the second version instead of the "heating" button - "baking". in the newest version (the picture I posted above in the topic) added the button "beans". from the peculiarities of work - you can change the cooking time, but the temperature cannot.

[tigra-tigrica]

tigra-tigrica, yes, nothing special, it's just my opinion that if you have a multicooker and a pressure cooker, there is no need in Cuckoo.

Dopleta, but, you can repeat what was said on the "other site", maybe
will the desire to have her (cuckoo) disappear from me, and not only from me? Or give
link to the site, if you did not delete what was said.

Why repeat?

Everyone chooses for himself - all at once or separately, according to taste, according to his means, according to his love for these toys, and so on

And it has long been decided what and who needs to buy ... and so ... to offend people simply by someone else's opinion ...

And if a person has a desire, then he will buy a cuckoo for any money, which is really so ...

Girls! I have a question! I understand that you can send me with this question ... to read the instructions, but I, the Christmas tree-sticks, well, I don’t understand anything, it’s kind of strange.
In general, I bought LL from Tillottama a couple of years ago, tried to cook meat, something worked out, but I think that I did not do it right, because I cannot, I just cannot figure out what to do with the valve! Help me figure it out! I cannot understand what position should I put it in if I want to cook under pressure, closed or open? T. to.I have experience working only with a tefalevskaya pressure cooker, then I am very afraid of this business, in view of the fact that as soon as the steam pressure builds up, the valve jumps, steam comes out of it and it rotates wildly with wild sounds, there the story is already clear to me bouncing, spitting, panting, I just reduce the heat under the pressure cooker and the valve just boils with a normal sound, the main thing is not to reduce the fire at all, then the pressure drops, the valve does not rotate and it just turns out cooking under a tight lid.
This is why I needed an electric pressure cooker, because every time I shudder at the sound of a stove.
Well, I repeat, I don’t know in what position to put the valve, because I don’t understand anything in the instructions. Sorry, if there was such a question and I repeat it!

under pressure - into a closed one. without pressure (pressure cooker hiss like a steam locomotive) - open.

Thank you so much! Understood!
Now I'm looking for instructions for Unit (I ended up not with LandLife, but Unit) The box was preserved, the cup-spoon-stand was preserved, but there is no instruction: pardon: Nobody has a reference ??

I have re-uploaded the instruction from Unit, since the old link is dead.
I say right away, when I scanned (2-3 years ago), everything was quick, because the Unit was traveling as a gift .. but in principle everything is visible there
🔗
Moderators then move it to the right place, I think it will come in handy.

Girls, thanks a lot!
I'm already a pressure cooker
Yesterday in the night I decided to cook potatoes, and when I was young I did it without a program, I set the time and started it. Over time, I had problems, I put it in 4 minutes! But I decided not to redo it, and then look at it all and put it on a new one. No . was not required, since the potatoes were cooked in 4 minutes due to their obvious freshness. Water had to be added less, it would have been faster (pressure build-up!). This morning I decided to stew the eggplants, put rice on the mode and toss the vegetables in order. To fry, she fried them perfectly, in a frying pan it takes me much more time, when I added tomatoes, they almost instantly gave juice Salt, pepper, garlic squeezed and put again without a mode, for 8 minutes, Cool! it turned out amazingly and a lot of juice, as I adore!
Thank you very much girls! Now I'll run for chicken breast! I have not yet decided what I will cook (either just boil it and then make some soup in the broth, or stew it with sour cream, or simply with an onion), but I decided that I would definitely do the chicken today exactly! Very quickly, quietly and tasty, the desire to cook again woke up, otherwise the long-term process always stressed me
once again - many thanks!

Hello!
A few days ago they gave me an LL, I cook something in it every day (I fill my hand).
But yesterday I cooked pea soup. The peas were not boiled, they were soft, but I needed to boil them. The broth is transparent.
This, in fact, is the question. What's the matter? Wrong peas? Tell me which manufacturer you are buying ...
Or cook pea soup in some other mode? (I cooked on SUP).

Hello!
What's the matter? Wrong peas? Tell me which manufacturer you are buying ...
Or cook pea soup in some other mode? (I cooked on SUP).

It is advisable to pre-soak peas before cooking. Or, first cook the peas in the soup, and then lay in the rest and turn on the soup again.

[Pulka]

Pulka, congratulations on purchasing an assistant.

In order for the peas to boil, they must either be pre-soaked for several hours in cold water, or put in cold water and heat very slowly... Otherwise, the protein contained in peas curls up without taking in water.

Or cook pea soup in some other mode? (I cooked on SUP).

If you need boiled peas, I cook "beans" on the program in Unite and never pre-soak them.

There is no this mode in LL

Thanks for the advice! But I just soaked the peas in advance. And when the result turned out the same as I described above, I turned on the SUP again, In short, I drove this program 2 times. Apparently hook hands.
The fact is that I tried this soup with my aunt, with peas boiled completely. She throws everything into the pan without any soaking. So, if I had not seen such a result, there would have been no questions. There is no way to ask her now.

Girls, please advise - I want to order a cartoon of ARS but I won't decide on 5 or 6 liters, we love to cook meat and soups - I saw it for 4 - it seemed too small.

big her small. Take the maximum.

Thanks for the quick response - I still can't put an avatar what to do

[tulip]

tulip download via your personal account. according to ARC he chose, glad thu picked 6 liters. you will understand when to start cooking soup, jellied meat, corn and if the family is from 3 people or more.

Thanks, I will probably stop at 6 liters, but do not tell me where you can order cheaper through which online store

[tulip]

tulip I took through "joint purchases" on our Voronezh forum. and an office in the neighboring Lipetsk region, Usman, 70 km from Voronezh (but if I went in person, it would have been more expensive).
, there is also a delivery network (you can call and specify 8 (960) 150-50-40)
different from the old one - "steaming" and "beans" appeared buttons and 3 lights - meat on ribs (or bones), fish and something else. did not consider in detail (I have an old model with a bake button).

there you can immediately order a bucket (there were 2 options - double teflon and stainless steel) and an additional ring.

Thank you for the detailed answer - and in the old models there is also no baking button - only in the new ones, it seems. We do not have such a topic about multicooker in joint purchases until I find it

[tulip]

tulip in the very first version, no. then it came out like mine - the Baking button and the steaming grill. and then just recently (we only had one while the delivery was in a joint purchase, it seems like they collected the second order) a new one came out, with new buttons and in a new design.

Oh, thank you very much DAVIi I don't know anything yet, but you explain everything well, I guess I should take ARS through this company

[tulip]

tulip if no one carries you (joint purchases and something like that), then of course take delivery. just for example we get through the "joint" wholesale price and even org% is cheaper than I myself would have gone 70 km to Usman and bought for cash. always happy to help, the pressure cooker is very good, I cook a lot and constantly in it and soups and meat / fish / poultry, baking works very well and most importantly quickly. we take a multi-cooker recipe and reduce the time by 3 times and get the result

Davli I will look for joint purchases, maybe I will find something, maybe they are not the only ones we have in the city, if it works out I will definitely write

1 Is it possible to turn off the pressure in the unit pressure cooker so that it works like a multicooker? Or is this only available in redmonde?

2 Are there any dishes that can be cooked in a multicooker and not in this pressure cooker?

1 Is it possible to turn off the pressure in the unit pressure cooker so that it works like a multicooker? Or is this only available in redmonde?

2 Are there any dishes that can be cooked in a multicooker and not in this pressure cooker?

1. If you do not close the lid completely, that is, do not click it, and leave the valve in the steam release position, pressure will not build up.

I just choose between
1) Redmone rmc-m4504, which according to the owners of 2 in 1 (pressure cooker in seal mode and multicooker without valve)
2) Sinbo SCO-5005
3) Unit usp-1010d

The last two are the same for the price, and the first one is 1400 r more expensive than them.

I don't have a multicooker, so I want a 2 in 1 mode, is there such a thing in the last two?
