Multicooker Panasonic SR-TMZ550 and SR-TMZ540

[Manna]

Manna, I am looking forward to the conclusions. As I understand it, without much enthusiasm ...

And I start to like her more and more. The Steak mode is especially good. Yesterday I was frying some rather large pieces of marinated turkey thigh fillet. It turned out juicy, quickly.

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

You can, you just need to take into account that this multicooker is somewhat more powerful, by about 20%. Therefore, the baking time, for example, can be reduced slightly. The rest is the same.

Why beep? We have a lot of recipes here too. Well, just a lot

Thank you so much. Yes, I'm honestly at a loss what to cook. The third day I read the forum and it is not defined in any way what to do. I am inclined to pilaf with lamb from Alexandra. But there are still questions. So far, I just cleared the multicooker from the factory smell. With the help of lemon, as here they wrote in mode4 for a couple.

Yes, I'm honestly at a loss what to cook

Katya, for starters - a simple side dish in the form of rice or buckwheat. To understand the work and volumes of products. You may have a slightly different cereal / water ratio.

Mums thanks for the advice, but before that I had a rice cooker and a slow cooker in one of the Tiger Japanese company, they always made rice and buckwheat.

[test conclusions]

So my test conclusions.

Multicooker Panasonic SR-TMZ550 was a continuation of the first multicooker that appeared in Russia - Panasonic SR-TMH18. TMZ inherited the virtues of TMH, but at the same time modernized. TMZ just like the first TMH, produced in Thailand.

The TMZ body is shaped like a "barrel", which makes it as compact as possible... A feature of this model is no carrying handle... 550 has light weightso it is easy to carry without a handle. The case, although it has steel colorbut it's dyed plasticwith texture. It looks very impressive.

The advantage of this multicooker is the presence of a drip tray, which the collects condensate properly from the cover. Feature valve designs is that he is a little condenses steam and collects it in the cavity inside, therefore, it must be periodically emptied so that the liquid in it does not squelch when steam comes out.

Plate with silicone seal in the lid TMZ is the same as TMH, non-removable... This, of course, makes it difficult to clean. But it is not often required, since TMZ has quiet temperif you use the modes as intended. Of course, after highly aromatic dishes, the silicone sealant absorbs odors. But a constantly open lid and self-cleaning modes or steamed (you can also with lemon) will help get rid of them.

The TMZ-550 bowl has small handles... They make it easier to remove the bowl from the body... However heat up during the operation of the multicooker. Itself bowl thin-walled, light... As I said in the first review, its weight 561 g. Non-stick coating, smooth, resistant (at least 2 weeks of testing did not change in any way). The scale is extruded inward on both sides of the bowl - it's convenient - no matter how you put the bowl in the case, the scale is always visible.

SR-TMZ550 comes with a collapsible double beaker steam basket with two depth settings, a flat steam rack for adding a layer in the steam basket (if set to the maximum depth) or, together with a ladle rack, it can be used as a steam rack in a bowl, ladle with silicone scoop. 6 plastic cups for yogurt.

The control panel is located on the side of the case... Offline and standby display shows the current time... The panel is easy to use. Menu and time buttons allow you to scroll through lists in both directions... However, the temperature on the multi-cook is scrolled only upward, and then in a circle. Conveniently, multi-cook is placed on a separate button... Although, to be honest, I never figured out what to use it for - the multicooker menu offers a wide range of possibilities even without a multi-cook. The menu contains 22 modes. The display only shows the number of the selected mode without a word for it. Mode names are indicated on the cover... Yes, this is not as convenient as if the display showed the names, but after 2 weeks of use, I memorized the numbers of the main modes.

1. Porridge. This mode auto. Lasts 1 hour 10 minutes. At first I decided that it was sensory, but also porridge from 1 measuring glass of cereal, and from ¹/₂, and from ¹/₃ the measuring cup was prepared for the same amount of time. Optimal proportion while it turned out 1:6... The minimum amount of porridge that can be cooked in this multicooker is ¹/₂ measuring cup of cereal. If 1 hour 10 minutes is a lot, then you can use modes No. 2 or No. 3.

2. Quenching. The mode is intended for stewing meat, vegetables, etc. The default time is 1 hour. But it is possible to adjust from 1 hour to 12 in steps of 5 minutes from an hour to two, and then for 30 minutes. Boiling on this mode softhardly noticeable. Terminated when the cover is opened.

3. Soup. The mode is intended for cooking soups. The default time is 1 hour. But it is possible to adjust from 1 hour to 12 in steps of 5 minutes from an hour to two, and then for 30 minutes. Boiling on this mode softhardly noticeable. Terminated when the cover is opened. Mode # 3 is similar to mode # 2 with the program algorithm.

4. Steak. The mode is intended for roasting meat. By default, the mode lasts 10 minutes. But it is possible to set from 1 minute to 30 in 1 minute increments. Touch mode - the countdown starts after the multicooker reaches the set temperature, and a sound signal sounds. Optimal temperature for steak cooking - does not overcook, but also does not put out the meat, therefore it does not lose juices.

5. Baking. The default mode is 40 minutes, but the range is 20 to 95 minutes in 5 minute increments. Cupcake and yeast baked goods in 40 minutes perfectly blush from below and baked. Compared to the TMH models, in my opinion, TMZ has become more active in baking.

6. Express. In this mode, you can cook pasta with complete evaporation of the liquid and fry, fry eggs, sauté vegetables. The mode lasts 40 minutes by default. But you can set from 1 minute to 65 minutes in 1 minute increments in the range of 1-20 minutes and then in 5 minute increments.

7. Browning. The mode is intended for frying. The default time is 20 minutes, but the range is from 1 minute to 60 minutes in 1 minute increments from 1 to 20 minutes and further in 5 minute increments. Delicate mode, roasted gently without burning.

8. Omelet. The mode is intended for cooking omelets. The default time is 20 minutes. It is possible to set from 1 minute to 30 minutes in 1 minute increments. The omelet is slightly ruddy at the bottom, but remains tender.

9. Pilaf. This touch mode, the time on it is not regulated, it depends on the volume of liquid in the bowl. The mode lasts about 30-35 minutes. The program algorithm includes complete evaporation of the liquid with further light frying of the bottom... My usual proportion for pilaf 1 (Kuban rice): 1.3 (hot water) did not fit - the rice remained dry, the optimal ratio was 1: 1²/₃... The mode can also be used for cooking vegetables with meat or navy pasta.

10. Buckwheat. The mode is intended for cooking buckwheat for a side dish. Touch mode... The algorithm of the program includes complete evaporation of the liquid. Time is not regulated. The duration of the regime depends on the volume of liquid in the bowl. Lasts 40 minutes on average. Proportion for boiled buckwheat 1: 2 (the water is cold).Buckwheat, even without oil, does not stick to the bowl.

11. Compote. The mode is intended for cooking compotes. By default, it lasts 1 hour. But it is possible to adjust from 1 hour to 12 in 30 minute increments. Boiling on mode softhardly noticeable. It stops when the cover is opened. Apart from another time step, the algorithm of this mode is similar to modes # 2 and # 3.

12. For a couple. The mode is intended for steam cooking. The default time is 10 minutes. It is possible to set from 1 to 60 minutes in 1 minute increments. The countdown in the mode starts after the water boils, but there is no sound signal... The boiling of the liquid is quite active, but the liquid does not boil away much. Boiling is greatly reduced when the lid is opened.

13. Dumplings. The mode is intended for cooking dumplings in the traditional way. The default time is 8 minutes, it is possible to set from 1 to 20 minutes in 1 minute increments. The countdown starts from the moment the water boils.... After laying dumplings at room temperature, one at a time, boiling resumes only 8-10 minutes after laying. All this time, dumplings are rather stewed in water than boiled.

14. Warming up. The mode is intended for heating food. The default time is 40 minutes. Possible settings in the range from 1 minute to 65 minutes in 1 minute steps in the range up to 20 minutes, and then in 5 minute steps. Intensive mode boiling.

15. Yogurt. The mode is intended for preparing yoghurts. The default time is 1 hour. It is possible to set from 1 hour to 8 hours in 1 hour increments. The maximum temperature of 1 liter of water in this mode was 40.5 ° С.

16. Fig. The mode is intended for cooking rice. Touch mode, the duration depends on the amount of liquid in the bowl. The algorithm of the program includes complete evaporation of the liquid. The usual proportion for rice for side dish is 1 (Kuban rice): 1.3 (cold water) did not fit this model - the rice turned out to be harsh. The optimal ratio was 1: 1.5.

17. Aspic. This mode is intended for boiling jellied meat. The default time is 1 hour. Adjustments are possible in the range of 1-12 hours in 30 minute increments. The boiling output is embedded in the program algorithm. Boiling soft, disappears when the cover is opened. Apart from other temporary settings, this mode is similar to modes # 2, # 3, # 11.

18. Cabbage rolls. This mode is intended for cooking cabbage rolls. The default time is 1 hour. Adjustments are possible in the range of 1-12 hours in 30 minute increments. The boiling output is embedded in the program algorithm. Boiling soft, disappears when the cover is opened. Except for other temporary settings, this mode is similar to modes No. 2, No. 3, No. 11, No. 17.

19. Jam. The mode is intended for making jam. The default time is 1 hour. Adjustments are possible in the range of 1-12 hours in 30 minute increments. The boiling output is embedded in the program algorithm. However such a boil turned out to be too strong for jam - the foam rose strongly. Boiling stops completely when the lid is opened.

20. Mulled wine. The mode is intended for preparing drinks based on wine. The default time is 1 hour. It is possible to set 30 minutes - 2 hours in 30 minute increments. The temperature in the mode is close to 70 ° С.

21. Self-cleaning. The mode is intended for internal cleaning of the multicooker. Touch or automatic mode. Time on mode is not adjustable... I have not tested this mode.

22. Heating. The mode is intended for heating freshly cooked food. The mode is soft. The temperature in the mode is maintained in the region of 70-71 ° С. Countdown in live mode, up to 1 hour in minutes, and then in 1 hour increments.

Multi-cook. This mode assumes the ability to change not only the time, but also the temperature in the range from 40 ° С to 130 ° С with a step of 10 ° C. The default temperature is 130 ° C. The default time is 20 minutes. It is possible to install from 1 to 120 minutes in 1 minute steps in the range from 1 to 20 minutes, and then in 5 minute steps. Multi-cooker multicooker does not overheat... When set to 90 ° C, the actual temperature of 1 liter of water in an hour from the start of the regime was 88 ° C. A deviation of 2 ° C is insignificant for multicooker with heating element... As I said earlier, I couldn't figure out how to use this mode.

In general, I can say that the multicooker made a good impression... Yes, I had to select new proportions to get the usual result. But this in no way diminishes the capabilities of this model. She just expected from me an individual approach to her. Multicooker has multiple touch modes (for evaporation and boiling of liquid). More focused on extinguishing (most of the modes maintain a low boil). But there is also absolutely wonderful setting for steaks, you can also fry vegetables, sauté.

What was lacking in this model's use is that there is no sound signal when boiling water in the "Steam" and "Pelmeni" modes... It would be very useful - there would be no need to keep track of the starting point of time.

Highly pleased with the presence of a drip tray... This is the first multicooker in my arsenal with a drip tray. And condensation from the lid really collects in it. And if you do not slow down its opening, then the condensate does not fall into the bowl at all, but flows straight into the drip tray.

As I said above, in general, the multicooker made a positive impression.

Natasha, do you have any questions for me that I did not cover in testing?

No, that you, everything is very clear, it would just upset me if you don’t share your recipes with us in it! Suddenly you won't have it.

[Manna]

Manna, thanks for testing. And with what step can you change the temperature on the Multipovar?

And with what step can you change the temperature on the Multipovar?

Oh, I didn't write. I'll correct it now. Step 10 ° C.

[half-readiness]

And another question In the recipe with cabbage rolls, it says rice before half-readiness, Did you interrupt the rice cooking program, if yes, how much was it cooked?

No, I didn't. I just poured less liquid than needed to make the rice completely cooked. The liquid has evaporated and the mode is ended. The rice was "semi-finished"

Super that's what it means multi-expert I would never have guessed to pour less water so that the regime would end sooner!

[Manna]

Manna, thanks for the review! : rose: Decent multicooker. As for me - the best of the Panasonic today, judging by the characteristics and testing.

[comparison of Panasonic SR-TMZ550 and Philips HD3095]

And now, as promised, comparison of Panasonic SR-TMZ550 and Philips HD3095

I will only compare by differences.

So,

1. Housing. The body of the Panasonic has a more compact shape. If the width of the multicooker is comparable, then the depth of the phillips is 10 cm more. Panasonic is 3 cm higher than the phillips.

2. Color and material of the case. Both models have a steel-colored case. However, for Panasonic, steel is the color of structured plastic, and for Philips, it is steel in metal.

3. The weight of the multicooker. Accordingly, the weight of the multicooker is different. Panasonic is lighter than Phillips.

4. Carrying handle. Unlike Philips, Panasonic does not have a carrying handle.

5. Cover. Plate. For Panasonic, neither the cover nor the cover plate can be removed. The Philips has a removable lid itself.

6. Drip collector. Unlike Panasonic, Phillips does not have a drip tray - condensate falls on the side around the bowl, sometimes falls into the bowl or onto the heating element.

7. Bowl. At Philips, the bowl is multilayer, thick-walled, heavy (more than 1 kg) has an excellent ceramic coating (in operation it is similar to a non-stick one). Panasonic's bowl is thin-walled, lightweight (approx. 0.6 kg), non-stick coating is smooth, resistant. The volume of the bowl for Philips is 4 liters, for Panasonic - 5 liters. Both bowls have handles, but Phillips have them anymore and do not heat up during the operation of the multicooker.

8. Sound. Panasonic has a regular beep-type signal. Phillips has a melodic signal.

9. Spoon, ladle. Philips has a plastic spoon and ladle. Panasonic has a ladle with a silicone scoop and a plastic stand.

10. Control panel. The Philips control panel is located on top of the case. Sensory. At Panasonic - on the side of the case, push-button. Both are convenient, the lists are scrolled in both directions.

11. Heating. At Philips, you can turn off the heating before the start of the mode.Have Panasonic only after turning it on.

12. Porridge. For Panasonic this mode is automatic and lasts 1 hour and 10 minutes. In Philips, in this mode, you can adjust the cooking time.

13. Fig. Both multicookers have this touch mode. But at the end of the Phillips regimen, the croup remains wet. At Panasonic, more liquid is required for the rice to be fully cooked, but at the end of the regime it is sufficiently dried.

14. For a couple. Phillips has active boiling in this mode, it does not subside after putting food in water, there is a sound signal when water boils. At Panasonic in this mode (as well as in the "Pelmeni" mode) the boiling subsides after the food is placed in the water, there is no sound signal when the water boils.

15. Warming up. At Philips, heating occurs up to 85 ° C. Have Panasonic to a boil.

16. Yogurt. Philips has a temperature of 37 ° C in this mode. At Panasonic - 40 ° C.

17. Multi-cook. Panasonic has a temperature range of 40-130 ° C. Philips has 40-150 ° C. Philips has this mode in the menu list. Panasonic has a separate button. At Philips, the actual temperature is higher than the declared one by 2 ° C. For Panasonic it is 2 ° C lower.

18. Time step. Phillips has a time step of at least 5 minutes. Panasonic has 1 minute.

19. Baking... In Philips, unlike Panasonic, you can adjust the temperature in this mode.

20. Variety of modes. Philips has 10 modes. They fully satisfy the basic requirements for a variety of multicooker modes - they perform all the necessary tasks. Pansonics have 22 modes + multi-cook. At the same time, there are modes that duplicate their functions, for example, Soup, Stewing, Compote, Stuffed cabbage (these modes have a similar program algorithm, but different possibilities for temporary settings).

21. Steak. Panasonic has a mode with a sound signal when reaching the frying temperature - "Steak".

Please tell me on which mode to cook this recipe and for how long

I have a multicooker TMZ 550 Panasonic
Thank you

FISH SOUFFLE

For 1 kg of fish fillet (I have a "Sima" fish) you will need
4-5 eggs, 1 onion, a cup of boiled rice, 1-2 tbsp. lies. butter,
vegetable oil for frying onions and for greasing the mold.

Cut the fish, remove the skin, separate the ridge and bones, turn it in a meat grinder,
(I chopped it in a blender), add lightly beaten eggs with salt, seasoning for fish,
browned onion and boiled rice. Grease a baking dish with oil, lay out
fish and egg mass, level on top and put in small pieces of butter
oil. It took me 25 minutes in the 200g oven.

For baking. And time ... start with 40 minutes. I don't know if this time is enough for a kilogram of fillets.

So, my conclusions on testing.

Thanks for such a detailed review!

girls, and on what mode is it better to boil milk for yogurt?

Milk? Do you need fast or safe? At Kasha, they usually make all the milk.

I take homemade milk, that is, it is necessary to boil. In Shtebe, I realized which mode is better to do, but she is often busy with me, I want to adapt this one. Not to stand over her.

[Natasha]

Natasha, you have to try. I think the Kas regime should be fine.

Devuli, today mannik baked according to the recipe
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=130527.0
I reduced sugar, added cherries, but it turned out very tasty in the end.

Rita, mannik is beautiful! It looks very gentle. And for how much did you bake?

[Irin]

Irin, Thank you so much! The mannik turned out to be tender, but practically without any sweetness. I-stupid head reduced sugar by 2 times, but added cherries from the heart.
And now I bake everything for 40 minutes. I set more time on different baked goods, but from the increase in time, only the bottom ended up stale.

For baking. And time ... start with 40 minutes. I don't know if this time is enough for a kilogram of fillets.

I join! Yesterday I baked minced fish in this mode. 40 minutes Enough, in my opinion, even a little reinsured. It turned out great. The crust underneath was of a thick brown color, so I think I was reinsured. However, it turned out deliciously: a kind of big cutlet.

Devuli! Happy New Year! Happiness, Health, Longevity!
Today the manna baked without flour. Liked.

here on yandex. the market complains about missing steam with a lid and even warping thereof ..
local owners have not encountered?

No, they did not. I was also asked about this on youtube. This is a marriage.

I'm fine with the steam and the lid (mmm). On a friendly forum multicooker. ru even created a topic with this problem. A lot of problematic models, namely 550, went on sale.

and everything is ok for me. happy every day.

I'm fine too. I can't say anything bad about the model.
Here's about our innovations:
Couldn't find an extra bowl, so I'm using a bowl from 181

A lot of problematic models, namely 550, went on sale.

Generally a strange story. After all, that 540, that 550 - the design is the same. And even the 530 has the same multicooker design. Why, then, is 550 being scolded?

If that - I also have 550, and without this problem.

[Roza_Irina,]

Devuli, with the Bright Feast of the Nativity of Christ !!!
Happiness, Health, Well-being to your family and loved ones !!!
Roza_Irina,Irin, answered you in PM, but I do not know whether it was answered or not.
I found about my old Panasonic. I had an SR-TMH181HTW. Here from her I have a cup in 550 and adapted. Or if not from her, then from just such a saucepan I additionally bought
"Bowl PAN SR-TMH18LTW 4.5L aluminum"

Ritochka, thank you so much! Now it is clear. Two versions of bowls from Panasonic are suitable. I will definitely buy a spare one.
Now the main thing is that everything is in order with the cartoon. Something the reviews on the multicooker are scary. The marriage increases and manifests itself among the people even after three weeks of use.

[Irish]

Yeah,Irish, I also read about the manifestation of marriage after almost a month of use. Exciting oh very much. If it suddenly turns up, where to run and from whom to demand? So I understand that many users are now unanswered.
Oh ... And the price is quite considerable for her.

Yes, the price, in comparison with Redmond of similar functionality, is almost adequate, given the reliability of Panasonic ... But here are the reviews about the marriage of new models ... They surrender almost without a fight to Redmond, who practically clogged all niches and store shelves ... Generally- then I believe that Panasonic lacks almost 2 models - 1.5 - 2 liters and a pressure cooker-multicooker, update the firmware of existing models (well, add a multi-cook there) and that's it! But they spoil everything by marriage ...

If it suddenly turns up, where to run and from whom to demand?

To the Panasonic service center.

They surrender to the Redmond almost without a fight.

Do you think that Redmond has no marriage? Each topic about these models discusses one or another marriage. Everyone has a marriage, everyone.

They almost without a fight surrender to the Redmond

A larger marriage than Redmond's, you still need to look for it))
Panasonic already has a small MV, for a long time and very good. And the best is known to be the enemy of the good

Agrimony, I have a 70th Redmond and a small Panasonic - so I know what I'm talking about ... For one person, well, or two, even a 3-liter Panasik is too big ... Well, they would have released a cereal-cooker for 1.5 liters - would fly away with a whistle ...

I also have a little Panasonic. Together with the rest of the mv and sv, it does an excellent job
For which I love him very dearly)

I took a little Phillips, but ..... I was very disappointed.

Redmond has very small MVs and, as the girls write, they do well with porridge.

But I don’t want a Redmond baby, I don’t want it, and that’s all !!! I want a ma-a-a-a-a-a-little Panasonic ... Well, can I dream?

[Irish]

Irish, you didn't like porridge at 3060, right? Yes, at 01 from Redmond, porridge comes out better than in 3060. Where I never cooked porridge, but more than others I like porridge in a multicooker (yes, it is a multicooker, not slow) with a clay pot (I took it in China). Still, porridge in clay cannot be compared with anything.

I, too, had little Phillips for a while, but to be honest, I did not understand its volumes. For two people it seems like breakfast is not enough, for one it is too much. This is me about porridge. And they decided to stick to the bottom of the bowl. In general, I gave it away.
For me, ideally, the volume of the bowl is 4 liters, and even less useful.

I want ma-a-a-a-a-little Panasonic ...

Panasoni, in my opinion, had some more small ones.

Theirs, but not them ... If this is about the one that was now sold in a coherent 900 re with 4 menu items (and those confused, as they say ...). Somewhere they wrote that this is a type of adapted sharash-montage from China ...
No, well, seriously ... I cook porridge at the rate of 0.5 water + milk and 0.5 mst of cereal (or even less) - well, where is the 3rd bowl ...

[Merry Christmas girls !!!!!]

Well, can you dream?

Of course!

Irish, you didn't like porridge at 3060, right?

Man, I didn't like it at all, no porridge, no side dishes .... it's not even that it runs godlessly, but it's not tasty for me at all, even an omelet.
The lid construction is awful. But beautiful mv, yes)
Standing gathering dust now. Well, it's not humane to use it for boiling eggs))))

I have already, of course, written about this a hundred times, but I repeat, Panasonic is so wonderful because the result is always predictable in them. I always know that any dish will be delicious.

But I made a delightful purchase in the past year for myself, bork 701! I'm very happy with her so far. I hope I will be happy in the future.
Together with a little Panasik they cope with a bang! And, most importantly, fit side by side on the stove cover)
The big cuckoo will now go to the dacha)

Merry Christmas girls !!!!!

even the 530 has the same multicooker design. Why, then, is 550 being scolded?

Well, I won't scold my 530, but the defect has appeared, already in the service, we'll see.

Unsubscribe how the result will be. I wonder what they will offer. After all, it makes no sense to repair if the plastic on the lid is deformed.

the plastic, fortunately, did not deform, I noticed the problem right away, and then we'll see, while the status is "under repair", damn it became so uncomfortable in the morning
