Multicooker Panasonic SR-TMZ550 and SR-TMZ540

[Maria Alekseevna,]

Devuli! Here's a pie with cherries I got. The bottom is sandy, and the top is jellied sour cream.

Maria Alekseevna,I seem to have a normal pilaf. Tasty! Nizushka, however, turned a little redder, but her husband said that it was sooo boring.
And in what proportions did you cook?

I cooked according to the proportions indicated in the book, my bottom was a bit burnt ...
rice stood for 10 minutes in water, they say that chtoli tastes better ?! and it will not be so stuck together

and in the morning I cooked rice porridge, according to the same recipe book of theirs, according to their proportions, the porridge is delicious but sooooo thick, in addition to 500 ml of milk, you need another 500 water, probably, I know you cooked porridge here, but I wanted it from the book, but now I understand that I'll have to scribble corrections in it with a pen)))) and then I'll forget, in general, for that kind of money, the book could have been made better, I mean that you put it next to it, like only to see with an eye, but constantly read and drop a drop on it)) it seems so flimsy ... and if my daughter doesn't get into the hand ...

[Maria Alekseevna,]

Maria Alekseevna,no, no, I honestly haven't read the recipe book at all. I don’t know, but where I have it. Panasonic, in my opinion, did not differ in particularly sensible printed instructions before.
Pilaf was last cooked in proportions for Panasoni for 2 multi-glasses of rice-4 multi-glasses of water. Tasty, yes, but the bottom turned yellow.
I really liked the rice porridge. It seems viscous, and thick, and lush, but at the same time, straight grain to grain. I want my husband to try to make millet for breakfast tomorrow.

It seems to me that much depends on the rice. I did, so the rice flew straight off the rice, it was so crumbly.

rice stood for 10 minutes in water, they say that chtoli tastes better ?!

This is the first time I've heard this ... you don't need to keep rice in water. On the contrary, it needs to be rinsed as early as possible so that it has time to dry out before laying.
In any case, you do not need to keep rice in water. Most likely because of this, the pilaf turned out to be porridge, maybe the proportions are not correct.

The rule for pilaf: pour water on the phalanx of the finger, and it works in the CF.

.... but the bottom turned yellow.

Girls, well, it's a classic! The Plov program always toasts lightly at the end. This is how pilaf should turn out, with a slightly fried bottom, like in a cauldron.

Rituslya, what kind of rice did you use? Maybe it's time for me to fall in love with another brand)))) tell me how to make a pie with cherries, otherwise there is a package of frozen cherries, hands itch

T-bone pork steak



Details of the recipe for link, and here I will describe the nuances that are important from the point of view of testing the device.

Mode number 4. Steak. The default time is 10 minutes. As soon as the multicooker reaches the set temperature, a sound signal will sound and you can put the meat in the bowl.


After 3 minutes, the meat turned over.


After 4 minutes I turned it over again.


At the end of the mode, the meat is ready.


The meat turned out to be soft and juicy. Rouge the mode delicately, but at the same time does not put out the meat, all the juices remain inside. The steak mode proved to be excellent Only, of course, in no case close the lid when frying, otherwise the meat will begin to lose juices and become dry.

[temperature measurements]

Held temperature measurements in two modes.

No. 15. Yogurt. 1 hour.
Initial temperature 39.1 ° С


After 30 minutes from the beginning of the regime - 40.5 ° С


At the end of the regime - 39.6 ° С


No. 20. Mulled wine. 1 hour.
The initial temperature is 39.6 ° C. At the end of the regime - 69.1 ° C.


The multicooker keeps the temperature steadily on modes. Just in case, you can still check the temperature on the Multipovar, but I think there shouldn't be any surprises.

[bakery products]

The promised baked goods.

I apologize for the shameful top. Do not scold too much. Unfortunately, there is no way to redo the cake (I don't have time). Therefore, I post this option.But in this case (in testing), I think, it is not the beauty of the cake that is important, but the operation of the "Baking" mode in the Panasonic SR-TMZ550 multicooker.

So, bakery products.

Yeast cake with apricot filling



Wheat flour 200 gr.
Butter 15 gr.
Milk 130 ml
Sugar 1.5 tbsp. l.
Salt on the tip of a knife
Dry yeast CAF 0.5 tsp.
Jam apricots








The mode works delicately, the bottom does not burn, does not stick. However, in my opinion, it is more active than in the TMH models. Such a ruddy crust was obtained in 40 minutes on mode No. 5. Bakery products.

And what are the difficulties ?! The difficulty is not using a steamer?

No, that’s not the difficulty, of course. It just seems to me that if the operating procedure of the program is prescribed, then why change it? In addition, I have a feeling that when the glasses are placed on the bottom (even on the rug), the yogurt cooking temperature will be higher than necessary. Heating according to the program goes to get steam and a specific temperature at the top of the basket, and the jars are on the heating element .. Was the temperature measured at the finished yogurt and the surrounding water at the beginning and end of the process? Something tells me that when you put the cans directly into the bowl, it will be hotter than necessary .. And it will not be quite yogurt.

I would be glad if I am wrong.

Well, I actually wrote that the instructions for the device should be studied. At least in order to understand how to handle it. Yoghurt is described .. Well, other programs too. Though briefly

the cooking temperature of the yoghurt will be higher than necessary

Will not be. I have already given measurements of the water temperature in half an hour and an hour from the beginning of the regime. The same temperature for yogurt. Even more by a degree or two.

Mann, thanks.

I bought Gold indica rice, it turned out great !!!

It just seems to me that if the operating procedure of the program is prescribed, then why change it? In addition, I have a feeling that when the glasses are placed on the bottom (even on the rug), the yogurt cooking temperature will be higher than necessary.

You're right. Yes, and 38g. it will be a bit too much for yogurt. Panas gives a more optimal t-ru for yoghurt than other CFs and most yogurt makers. It is when the jars are put into the steamer. Our acquaintance TMN with IXBT advised me: "I just got an electronic thermostat here on occasion and replaced my old steamer with it. I press the sensor to the jar with a rubber band, put 33C and ... then the most amazing thing comes. Yogurt is ready in 4-4.5 hours, and its consistency is thicker and more even than with conventional heating, that is, when the temperature gradually rises. Previously, it took 5-6 hours, by the way. " Without dancing with tambourines, you got the same result in 5 hours instead of 8.
I put yogurt for the first time with Activation for 8 hours. The result is excellent. It is possible that I overexposed it, BUT ... it still turned out excellently: thick with the taste of Activia. A couple of days later, in the refrigerator (mine does not eat unsweetened), the village sour cream thickened. I like the technology that Panas offers more than other CFs. And I didn't use the yogurt maker, having read about "I press the sensor with an elastic band to the jar". :-) These are not "girlish games" for me.

Well, I actually wrote that the instructions for the device should be studied. At least in order to understand how to handle it. Yoghurt is described .. Well, other programs too. Though briefly

More than support! Half of the questions that arise in the topic will be removed. Moreover, against the backdrop of a recipe book, what is in this MV: at least about how to fry a steak.

Hello all owners of CF.

A 550 multicooker came to me in a complete set, I walk around it and I don't know how to approach it. My first slow cooker in my life. I've heard a lot about multicooker. I read the whole topic, but I still can't decide where to start. I want to cook something tasty, otherwise my husband is very skeptical of her. What do you advise? Thank you

Take a recipe book and choose what your husband likes, you can surprise him and cook the first, second and compote))))
Namely, borsch, for example steaks with rice and tangerine compote, and any dessert! Now I do everything only in the cartoon, I don't go to the stove, and it's great, today I want to try kampot with baked goods

Take the recipe book and .....

.....and close, enjoying the pictures (if any)

Open recipes on the forum and cook with pleasure and always predictable results (carefully read the comments under the recipe).

38gr. too much for yogurt

38 ° C for yoghurt is the lower temperature limit. For kefir and sour cream, there is a lot, but for yogurt it is almost a little.

.... and close, enjoying the pictures (if any)

Open recipes on the forum and cook with pleasure and always predictable results (carefully read the comments under the recipe).

That's right, for me the instruction is not particularly pleasant, I read it more what buttons to press at the beginning, but I don't trust the recipes, given how many mistakes there are in these books.

I made yogurt with Activia, to be honest, I really thought it didn't work, because I did it with homemade milk, got it out of the multi-liquid one, but stood in the refrigerator overnight and probably became the desired consistency. The taste of Activia was felt, but not enough sugar, when do you add sugar? Then or can you immediately?

when do you add sugar?

I don't add it at all. However, I do it on dry leaven "Evitalia".

Irina, is it sweet for you?

Of course not) Plain, tasty yogurt.

Sugar and in general any additions to sour milk just before its consumption.

Buckwheat for garnish



The proportion took the usual 1: 2 - 1 measurement. stkn buckwheat for 2 d. cold water stkn. Mode No. 10. Buckwheat. Touch mode. Time on it is not regulated. The countdown started 9 minutes before the end of the program. In total, the regime lasted 39 minutes. Buckwheat turned out to be boiled (as I like). If someone loves buckwheat harder, then the amount of water can be reduced. I want to note that I cooked buckwheat without butter, and it didn’t stick to the bowl at all.





Virgin, does it make sense to spread this recipe?

[Manna]

Manna, I think that your calculations of recipes are useful for novice multicooker and those girls who have 550 Panasonya not the first in their arsenal. I would like to know more about the possibilities of using the Multipovar program.

I would like to know more about the possibilities of using the Multipovar program.

Haaa! I would like to too. In this model, even without the Multicook, there is where to scatter.

Your recipe layouts are helpful

Means, and such, such as buckwheat, also to make a separate recipe?

Well, or a general recipe like "cereals for a side dish", according to the principle as with a selection of milk porridge, it seems to me so.

Yes, exactly, now I will add buckwheat to the rice recipe that I posted earlier.

Pilaf with shrimps



Details of the recipe for link, and here I will describe the nuances that are important from the point of view of testing the device.

Pour vegetable oil into the bowl. We turn on the mode number 4. Steak. As soon as the beep sounds, you can lay vegetables cut into strips: carrots, onions, peppers. Fry vegetables until the end of the mode, stirring occasionally, with the lid open.


While vegetables are fried, rinse the rice. After the end of frying, let the bowl cool slightly, and then lay the rice. Add salt, sprinkle with spices. Fill with hot water. Mode No. 9. Pilaf. This mode is touch-sensitive, the time is not adjustable. The regime lasted a total of 33 minutes. At the end of the mode, stir the pilaf and leave it in a closed multicooker for 3 minutes.


I cooked this pilaf twice in this slow cooker. The first time, the rice turned out to be harsh, because I used my usual proportions for pilaf 1 meter. stkn rice and 1.3 d. stcn. hot water. Therefore, I cooked pilaf a second time with more water (the proportion is indicated in the recipe). This time the rice is soft.


The program algorithm for this mode includes browning at the end of the mode. The liquid evaporates by the time the timing starts, while the steam comes out intensively from the valve (and if there is residual water in the valve, it gurgles. The valve must be periodically emptied of condensation).

[mams]

38 ° C for yoghurt is the lower temperature limit. For kefir and sour cream, there is a lot, but for yogurt it is almost a little.

I will not argue - not a subject for me. Only my thorny acquaintance TMN I trust more in this matter - he ate the dog on yoghurts.
Well, my practice with the new Panas. And experience mams and experience TMN coincided - in terms of lowering the temperature: the time decreased with its decrease.

Sugar and in general any additions to sour milk just before its consumption.

I asked. I was told that everything is not so categorical. At IXBT, the lady referred to a technology manual, where it is written that you can add sugar, but not more than 10% of the total volume. And other sweet people have unsubscribed that they put sugar before starting the process. Now I want to try it with sugar in Panas.

[koshkaTish]

koshkaTish, I did it with sugar when I just bought a yogurt maker. Once. Everything worked out, the milk was warm, the sugar was dissolved. But then they decided that it was better to make a regular one and add to it to taste, some honey, some jam. Basically, it was delicious. I was here re-reading the topic on yogurt makers, I even did it with chocolate. I don't remember anymore, but it seems to have worked out too

In M. video 550 Panasonic 9990 rubles. Can't find where is cheaper or only in this store?

In M. video 550 Panasonic 9990 rubles. Can't find where is cheaper or only in this store?

The discount on it was from November 28 to December 15. It cost 7990 there. But, alas .. with the current dollar rate, it is unlikely to fall in price yet. In the company store - panaplaza, it is generally 10,990 already, and is not available ...

They appeared on sale quite recently, at the same time as the dollar dances, so hardly anyone will import them at a lower price.

[Shrimati]

Baking again. I promised to bake on youtube Shrimati



This pie was first posted on our forum Mistletoe... Since then, it has never been baked. So I determined my proportions:
semolina 1 mst
kefir 1 mst + 1/4 mst
wheat flour 1 mst
sugar 0.5 mst (I prefer not very sweet pastries)
vegetable oil 3 tbsp. l.
soda 0.7-0.8 tsp.
apple 1 pc.

And then, everything is like in the recipe at the mistletoe.



She greased the bowl with oil. I laid out the dough. Mode number 5. Bakery products. 40 minutes.




The pie is baked well. The lower crust is ruddy, but not burnt. Bakes quickly in this mode.

And according to the recipe book I made some kind of oo thing with cherries, it's really some kind of thing, not a cake or an omelet)))) I think you need much more flour 4 tbsp. l. the photo shows that it is like a meringue, after 40 minutes it remained so, it grabbed a little from the bottom, put it in the refrigerator, I still eat it))) tasty something))

Today I did it clafoutis again, put in 8 spoons of flour!
!

[temperature measurements in modes No. 22. Heating and No. 14. Warming up]

Held temperature measurements in modes No. 22. Heating and No. 14. Warming up.

Mode number 22. Heating softer. It is designed to maintain a temperature of 70 ° C.
The initial temperature of 1 liter of water is 34.2 ° C.


Only after 1.5 hours the water temperature reached 70 ° C. The maximum readings that I managed to record are 70.9 ° C.


Further, the temperature was maintained around 70 ° C. Countdown on the direct mode. The first hour is in minutes, and then in hours.

Mode No. 14. Warming up... This mode is intense. It is similar in activity to mode 12. For a couple.
The initial temperature of 1 liter of water is 42.4 ° C.


After 8-9 minutes from the start of the regime, the water boiled and did it quite violently. This mode is designed specifically for warming up. The countdown is in reverse mode. By default, it lasts 40 minutes (of course, it will not take that much time to heat the dish, unless it is a full bowl of liquid).

[mams]

I did it with sugar when I just bought the yogurt maker. Once. Everything worked out, the milk was warm, the sugar was dissolved.

mams, my child does not like unsweetened, and with additions "after" its plump structure is broken. I will try to make it sweet, but myself a regular one. Moreover, I have two Panas and many, many sets of jars formed: from Supra, Polaris and the yogurt maker Arieta (I have never included it in the network). You can buy more cans ... for all of my many at once.

[Manna]

Mode No. 14. Warming up. This mode is intense. It is similar in activity to mode 12. For a couple.

Manna, and will not make it difficult for you to make a summary table of temperatures for all modes? You will do a great job for users. And by the way, what kind of thermometer do you have? I think it's time to get them, but I don't know which one to choose.

[koshkaTish]

koshkaTish, I also love savory lately. Sometimes I add a spoonful of grated berries. But I have it in the freezer, I rub 1 glass of sugar for 1 kilo of berries. So there is not much sugar in it.
We tried natural yoghurt and honey, until fresh, not candied. Delicious too. So now I'm doing only natural.

Oh, the thermometer must be taken so that the temperature is above 100 degrees. The one that Manna has in the photographs is successful, comfortable and lives a long time. I bought one in a candy store on Partizanskaya Street. He also happens to the Chinese. Only now everything is decently more expensive for them .. So far I have postponed all purchases. We will wait for the currency to roll back .. At least a little back ...

Cabbage rolls and meatballs



Details of the recipe for link, and here I will describe the nuances that are important from the point of view of testing the device.

We wash the rice. Boil it until half cooked. Mode number 16. Figure:


At the end of the mode, wash the rice.


Separate the cabbage leaves. Pour water into the bowl, put the cabbage leaves. Mode No. 12. For a couple. 3-5 minutes.
At the end of the mode, carefully remove the cabbage from the bowl. I did it with forceps. We leave the broth for the sauce.


Mode number 18. Stuffed cabbage. 1 hour. At the end of the regimen, you can add garlic. Hold with the lid closed for 5 minutes and serve cabbage rolls and meatballs with sauce.





Mode number 18. Stuffed cabbage, as it seemed to me, is similar to modes No. 2. Quenching and No. 3. Soup, and also # 11. Compote.

[Manna]

Manna, and will not make it difficult for you to make a summary table of temperatures for all modes? You will do a great job for users. And by the way, what kind of thermometer do you have? I think it's time to get them, but I don't know which one to choose.

I don't have a temperature table. I cannot make it for each mode. I have a completely ordinary electronic core temperature probe bought in China.

I'll try to make it sweet

If my memory serves me, then it is not recommended to make sweet yogurt at home, because this may develop pathogenic flora.
For a child, I would not dare to do this at all. Moreover, as we have written here more than once, it is not recommended to do it either, there can be anything under the lid (violation of storage conditions, end of the implementation period), it turns out, if everything is not in order there, you also multiply it in jars ...
And even more so, adding sugar, which only contributes to the reproduction of any kaki.

If you just want to feed your baby sweet yogurt, feed the store-bought one. If you want for health, make from dry starter cultures, and add sweets before meals.
Otherwise, there is no sense, just not harm.

Irina, I chose the freshest Activia. I am indifferent to pathogenic flora: for a long time I have been trying not to think about what we eat - I do not like nightmares. I'll get to the store - I'll buy a dry one, but for now I'll manage. My child is an adult. And ready-made yoghurts are even more cocoa: there are a lot of preservatives and all kinds of other additives. Oh, you better not dig this topic.

[Mode No. 19. Jam]

I checked three more modes, but just on 1 liter of water (I no longer have the opportunity to continue testing - I will post my findings tomorrow).

Mode No. 19. Jam... In this mode, the liquid boils quite actively with the lid closed. I cooked fruits in my own juice (I have not prepared a recipe and video).
After 10 minutes from the beginning, after 20 minutes and at the end of the hour mode:


Mode No. 17. Jelly... 1 hour.
Heated 1 liter of water with an initial temperature of 40 ° C. Unfortunately, I missed the moment, but after 30 minutes from the beginning, the water was already boiling, but softly, without boiling.

Multipovar, 90 ° С... 1 hour. The initial temperature of 1 liter of water is 30 ° C. After 1 hour, the temperature was about 88 ° C. That is, there is no overheating for sure. A deviation of 2 ° C is not significant for multicooker with heating element.

The contents of the drip tray for the entire time of testing (2 weeks of daily cooking 1-2 times a day) - before that it was emptied only once immediately after the "lemonade".

The drip tray collects all moisture from the lid.If the lid is not slowed down when opening, then condensation will not enter the bowl.

Manna, are you already giving it away? Were you given it for a while?

[Natasha]

Not in this case. It's just that I have now completely run out of time - I just have no time. In any case, I got an idea about this slow cooker and can draw conclusions. And I fully tested almost all modes.
Natasha, Do you have any questions for me that I did not cover in testing?

Tell me please, can you take recipes for a previous model like TM 18 and cook in a new model? Or do they somehow need to be finalized? I found a lot of recipes on Good Cook for TM18

Thank you
