Multicooker Panasonic SR-TMZ550 and SR-TMZ540

[OFELIYA]

OFELIYA Thanks for the quick response! I agree, I must try! Maybe you can advise which recipes to try first? I have a Panasonic 18 cartoon, one of the first models. Works like a clock for five years. But the color of the kitchen and other appliances matched this new model. I read reviews and problems and, frankly, was a little upset. But you have to be more optimistic! On your favorite site, they will not let go!

Whatever you try to cook in it, I'm sure everything will work out. Prepare something with rice or buckwheat. These modes are active and it happened that they began to float. At the same time, there will be an additional check.

Thanks Olga! I cooked rice on the "Rice" mode Everything is in order! And the rice turned out well. Fried and then stewed the beef - everything is also OK. Now, apparently, you need to use the device every day for six months (minimum)! I have studied the forum and this is the very time when troubles occur. Good luck everyone!

I don’t know how in Russia, but in our Ukraine the manufacturer said that the entire batch was recalled and there are no longer floating multicooker on sale. Even in Internet shops they write about it in large letters. But the date of manufacture of the multicooker is the same as that of the defective ones.

Hello ladies. Tell me, is there an opportunity to buy yogurt containers for SR-TMZ540?

Hello. You can use containers from other brands or just suitable cups and jars.

Thanks Olga. And just in case, I'll clarify, these models are the same in functionality and the only difference is in the configuration? And then the difference in price is significant

Yes, there is a difference in design and equipment. And the functionality is the same.

Thanks for your responsiveness

now the store has 540 - 4081821 and 550 - 4091821.
do they have problems?

Hello. Please tell me how these models cook curd casseroles? Has anyone already tried it?

[Lena]

Lena, and casserole, and yeast pastries, and shortbread very well in it.
I somehow undeservedly abandoned this cartoon. I have it only for compotes now.
At the main bowl, the handles fell off and small scratches appeared.

Rita, thanks for the answer, I have a question for you
Her baking temperature is higher than at 18, so I think that she cooks very aggressively and, casseroles: Airy and Tender, do not have time to rise as they should, so you cooked them and everything is fine, just like at 18 turns out? I just want to buy it and I don't know, maybe 18? I have Redmond and the casseroles in it are not very good, everything else is fine.

[Lena]

Lena, I really like the "Steak" and "Toasting", "Yogurt" function. And in general, if not for the massive marriage in last year's party, then the model can be considered very successful. I use it constantly. On New Year's Eve, I baked biscuits for the cake, they turned out to be very tall and fluffy.

But because of the marriage, I did not dare to buy it for a long time, now they write that everything seems to be fine. And I'm exactly interested in this baking and porridge, about porridge, I realized that it was not a sensory program, it's a pity, but I would have bought it anyway if the pastry is not inferior to 18, in which, judging by the reviews, everything was wonderfully cooked

Hello.I can also answer a little. I bought this in the summer, I drive it with might and main. Sensory porridge program. Very good, milk does not run away, everything is thought out. I cook porridge only on it. I liked the pastries. I baked a biscuit, it turned out to be high, not burnt from the bottom and baked well. This is not my first cartoon, but my favorite.

Am I also interested in baking at least 10 and 18?

I can't say about other Panasonic models, I didn't use it. Specifically, I liked this one.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, I have 18 but am using a new one. I like it more.

[Olga]

Thank you, Olga and Vladimirovna, for the answers. I will buy a 550 model. Girls, did you bake cottage cheese casseroles in it?
Olga, why then did I cook different porridges for the same time (I looked at the recipes from Manna on the forum), I thought sensory - it means the time should be different, because the porridges are different and the amount is different, or I'm wrong, I just never cooked it myself on the touch so the mode is incomprehensible

I bought a Panasonic 540 and it doesn't work. When I plugged it in, h 02 started flashing, the buttons do not work at all. That's how lucky I was. And so I wanted.
I read Temko and I see that not only I had such problems. I hope my money will be returned.

I abandoned my Panasonic. Only on Compote she orientated. Yeah, at night she only cooks compote for me. And today, for employment, 181 decided to use 550.
First I cooked chicken in pieces on Frying, and then added rice.
Sooo delicious.
Self-cleaning, after all, you see, it does not work for me, but otherwise the delicacy and accuracy in cooking has not been canceled.
I see that the model has become cheaper now.

Hello, yesterday I bought the 550th model, 4090521. The height of the bowl is 142-142.5 mm. It turns out that the bowl is old? from a defective batch?

I haven't cooked anything yet, only ran the self-cleaning program three times and once for a couple. It seems that steam does not come out from the side.

A question to those who recently bought this multicooker: are there any in 2015, and what is the height of your bowl?

Another 4 times, self-cleaning included, rice, frying 5 times, while quiet. Inserted a 5L Redmond bowl, 4500 model. It is higher than the pan from the Panas by a maximum of 1.5 mm, and steam comes out with it, though evenly from both sides.
I have a week left to check the multi, then I leave and take it with me, there will be no service centers ((
How else to believe in strength for a week, to be sure?

Tell me, the 540th model does not have a lid for the bowl - how much is it needed in operation?

It seems to me not too necessary. I also bought a 540. The lid could be useful for storing ready meals. And I don't really like to store in Teflon. And the bowl needs to be emptied for the next dish. There is no spare

I ordered 540 because I can't buy 550 anymore - it's out of production (((The distributor says that they won't be there, but for some reason there are no new models in the announcements and on the office sites

The lid is really needed for storage in the refrigerator. I had 550, left it to my son. But for all the time, neither the lid, nor the ladle, nor the additional plate had to be used. And since I got used to Panasonic, I bought a 540 for myself the other day, because 550 disappeared from sales somewhere. Although outwardly I liked her more.

I was also looking for 550, but I bought 540. Rather, my Kiev friend bought it for me. I scoured the Internet for a problem in these models and read that in the new corrected version the saucepan from the old Panasonic is no longer suitable. And a friend tested the one she bought for me and says that it fits perfectly. Now I already have the cartoon, and I'm afraid that the problem will come out. The funny thing is that in the store (and it was a Panasonic brand store), they supposedly had not heard of a defect in the first batch of these multicooker. They say that everything is fine and no one ever complained. And I really wanted one of these models, and so I took a chance.

Investigated mode No. 1 "Porridge".
It seems to be touch-sensitive.
First, I loaded a multi-glass of washed millet and a liter of milk (I deliberately increased the amount of liquid in the hope that the touch mode will work until the "excess" liquid evaporates).
An hour later, the cartoon finished work. I held it on the Heating for an hour and opened it. The porridge turned out to be thin.
Then I poured three liters of water and observed the behavior of the multi, periodically measuring the temperature in the bowl. After about an hour, the water in the bowl boiled, boiled for ten minutes, and the cartoon turned off. Again, ten o'clock. The touch mode, in my opinion, would try to evaporate the water.
The last experiment was with insufficient water. I put in a multi-glass of washed unsoaked peas and a multi-glass and a half of water. The cartoon worked all the same ten hour, lightly weld the peas. I cooked the peas by adding another glass of water and repeating the Porridge regime.
That is, the mode is not touch-sensitive. It works for exactly one hour and ten minutes, and it is necessary to accurately select the amount and ratio of ingredients in order to get the right porridge.

[Bertha]

Bertha, thanks, now it is clear about this mode. She herself did not dare to try

Good luck in learning!

Dear owners 550 \ 540. What mode would you recommend to heat milk?
Is "Quenching" suitable? I boiled water in this mode, it boils in about half an hour. And what will happen to the milk?
I would use a multi-cooker 90, but it will require a restart in two hours, for some reason the manufacturer did not provide for more than two hours in this mode. And I want to put it on for the night.

I went over all the topics, this model interested us very much. But it seems to me that from the pictures the pan is kind of liquid, it reminds me of the TMH18 model. We now have the SR-MHS181 and the pot looks solid and heavy in it. Tell me, who knows in 540 the pot is the same as 181 or as in 18?
Unfortunately, we do not sell 540 and 550 models, so you won't be able to hold it in your hands

Thank you in advance!

I adapted a pot of model 18 to mine.

Posted Monday 28 Nov 2016 11:47 am

And the pot itself is weak. The same model 18 also resembles.

sorry ..., from the 181 model it is cool, it is clear that it is coated with diamond fluoride.

got such a cartoon - tell me which cup fits it. I understand from 18?

or something else?

My bowl from model 18 did not fit, the cartoon starts to float from two sides, the Brand's old bowl came up, which I had written out for the 18th model, but it was all worn out, I wrote out a new Brand's bowl at 18 and the NEC, alas, did not fit, it soars again. Unfortunately, the new Brand's bowl is slightly lower than the old one. Something like this, but there are no bowls to 540 anywhere

It's a shame ...
I have a brand one from 37501 - it is higher. The lid does not close.
It is necessary to go to the store with a centimeter and apparently measure ...

Girls, look here in the subject, I wrote about Redmond cups, which fit the 550th model (also the 540th).

Hi,
I really need advice from users of different Panasonic.
I choose between the multi-cookers 550-540 and TML510-TMS520 discussed in this topic.
I want a new, larger multicooker for 4-5 liters (because the oven is terrible in the new apartment, now I need a cartoon more often).
My main needs: rice and buckwheat for a side dish, pilaf, baking biscuits and muffins, replacing the oven such as stewing / baking vegetables, fish, meat, chicken. Jelly. Cooking broth, occasionally soup. The second bowl is in great demand, it is important to me.
I don’t fry steaks, compote, dumplings, jam and yogurt (1-2 times a year for the sake of pampering). I do not cook milk porridge in a cartoon.
Differences I identified:
540-550 510-520
cover handle no yes
modern design yes no
multi-cook yes no
metal case no yes
marriage problems yes no
power more less
power consumption more less
bowl unique standard
complete set a bunch of things double boiler
delay to ready time normal
porridge 1 h 10 min 30-40 min
the second bowl is difficult and easy to buy
metal bowl not available for sale
menu on the lid on the front
opening the lid in the face sideways
production thailand china

Interested in how differently the programs themselves work.
The same for standard prog baking, stewing, steaming, etc., for example, can you increase the cooking time? Unfortunately, I could not find all the instructions for comparison, I was guided by the reviews.
Outwardly, I liked 540-550, but according to my needs, I need 510-520. I didn’t quite understand if both have a sound and light signal that the dish is ready?
What other important differences do they have? I don't chase programs, I have a baby TMH10, I have enough of it for my eyes
The choice between these models is mainly because in my town only they are available.
Help with advice!

Whitesnow, by 550th (540) - you can pick up bowls from Redmond. They are both cheaper and sold everywhere. Stainless steel, ceramic - I have been using it for two years, the flight is normal. So this item can be crossed out.

Manufacturing - most likely both there and there China.

The cooking time for porridge depends on the amount of food.

Modern design? The thing is generally an esthete. They are all for an amateur

Electricity consumption ... How was it checked? 550ya nimble multicooker. Fries more actively and heats up faster, but due to good thermal insulation, IMHO, the consumption is not so great.

550ya signals the end of cooking.

The marriage was in the initial parties, if you don't run into September 2014, then this item can be removed.

Few people have both stoves, so a comparison will not work. Instructions can be found on mvideo or media market.
from the mvideo website: 🔗 - 550th model
from the site mediamarkt: 🔗 - 510/520

The 520 is the reincarnation of the classic, the 18th model, the first multicooker Therefore, it is somewhat simpler than the 530/540/550.

In general, I looked around the shops - both models have already been withdrawn from sales, some are selling the rest. Perhaps they were completely removed from production, maybe new models are being prepared for sale. Maybe we should wait?

How to find out about new models? Buy straight hands itch, I look, people have 3-4 multi, I have one))) and then, the novelty will be at least 10 thousand, or even more, maybe some induction will be released, I do not want to pay so much for the cartoon.
Thanks for the instructions and answers, could you write about the redmond bowl in more detail - which one is suitable? Just any 5 l without patterns?

if you don't run into September 2014

I have just this, September, I use it since July. In general, nothing hovers, but with a steel bowl from Redmond - it starts right away. Maybe the September ones have already been completed with a new bowl?

[Whitesnow]

Whitesnow, look at the manufacturer's website. Or we are waiting for it to appear in stores. There are no other options for the common user. For the price, yes, maybe it will rise in the top ten. Although the 550s were initially sold very inexpensively.

Somewhere here in the subject, I wrote and pointed out the models. Look through, please. Not any fit, you need to know the model exactly. I went to the store with a centimeter and measured. Despite the fact that the native bowl with handles, and the redmond without handles, it still works fine.

Natasha, no, it does not hover with steel redmond, although I also have September 14. But mine hardly floats at all. Only occasionally, and for cooking rice ... But the steel cup from Redmond, alas, is not eternal. Due to the fact that she is thin, she is two years in prison. Mine has already started to get covered with rust or patina in places, I don't know what it was made of. These spots are not washed off by anything. It does not affect the "speed", but it's time to change it. Pottery lives a little better.

It’s very interesting if anyone bought a NEC bowl for this multi. I really want aluminum.

[Steak]

Investigated mode No. 1 "Porridge".

So that you do not risk any dishes or cartoons.

Touch modes for 540/550:

2. Steak - Touch mode - the countdown starts after the multicooker reaches the set temperature, and a sound signal sounds.
9. Buckwheat - Touch mode. The duration of the regime depends on the volume of liquid in the bowl.
10. Pilaf - This mode is touch-sensitive, the time on it is not adjustable, it depends on the volume of liquid in the bowl.
16. Rice - Touch mode, the duration depends on the amount of liquid in the bowl.

It was interesting for me to check the "Porridge" mode. On the first page of this thread:
“Modes (sensory: porridge, rice, pilaf, buckwheat, self-cleaning). The display shows the mode number and default time: "
Many people consider the "Porridge" mode to be sensory.
In your quote: "2: Steak - Touch Mode". Mode "2" seems to be a stew, not a steak. And it's not very clear what is meant by sensory. If only the countdown after reaching the temperature - then "Steam", if I'm not mistaken, works the same way. Still, it doesn’t appeal to sensibility.

The porridge mode is always sensory in Panasonic, but not as sensory as pilaf, that is, not until it is completely evaporated.

This is an urban legend that many believe in. The mode always lasts for the same preset time.
