Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Take the little one, there is a Venetian, she has 3.5 - the biggest, happy girl. Even the chicken is baked in it. True, I don't know how she pushes her there, maybe she rests on her knee or scares her ...? And for this business I bought jellied meat and duck chicken for 6.5 liters. But before that I mastered it at 4.5 liters. , there I cook porridge, carcass vegetables, etc. It happens that everyone immediately works for me, because I work during the day, and load MB at night.

And how do you get porridge from 1 MB glass in 6.5? And does a small amount of food burn there? And the bowl does not deteriorate with a small volume?
I would like to know the opinion of those who have both devices.

Everything is OK, I almost never have CF filled to the top. I also cook porridge no more than 1 glass of cereal, very good. delicious, you can't cook like that in the stove. Unless, of course, you have a super oven and super cookware.

[SWIFTA]

SWIFTA,

I have 3.5 - this is a good volume, I also make chicken. NOT an elephant, of course. And 6.5 - you need a place for her in the kitchen, or you will have to carry it, but this is bandure, you will not be able to pull it because of a glass of porridge, blah I will ...

I support! I have 6.5 on the bottom shelf, I take it out on occasion, and the main worker is 4.5 liters of cache.

Similarly, ma'am, I have two KENWOOD - 4.5 and 6.5 liters, I get the last one for Paska, Christmas and summer preparations, and the rest of the time, the younger plows - it's cool to heat milk in it, for fermented baked milk or so simple

Girls, thank you so much for the advice. you. I have MV Perfezza 55, I make meat rolls in it, I make boiled pork. But the porridge in this saucepan is lost at the bottom, because I cook only one or 0.5 cups of cereal - they ate it, and tomorrow they did it. I was already thinking about taking a smaller cartoon, but here I found Temka about DVA ... and disappeared. It's even better! That's just a little slowed down with the size. But with your help, I still decided to take 3.5 liters. And for a larger volume, let the MV plow so that I already ordered it here

I liked the fact that they have payment upon receipt by New Mail. Now I rack my brains: what to look for when receiving? Tell me, I haven't bought it on an Internet yet. Now, in anticipation of pleasure, I study the recipes on the site and swallow my drool.

Ask to turn it on and check if it heats up and the bowl with a lid and check the case, which I don't know yet. By the way, I also received a slow cooker by mail, so I did not check and did not come to mind, I tried it at home, so you have to adjust as you go, the main thing is that all the documents and the warranty card were written there.

the main thing is that the documents are all written out and the warranty card.

What are all the documents?

Now I rack my brains: what to look for when receiving? Tell me, I haven't bought it on an Internet yet

Has anyone already checked the goods for suitability in transport companies such as Intime and New Mail?
I somehow have a bad idea of ​​it, they are packed tightly there, and an uncle or aunt gives them out on a receipt. This happens in warehouses, where to look for an outlet if that. For several years, having visited different warehouses of at least three companies in Kiev, I confess that I have never seen inspectors.
He may first ask the Internet store itself if there is such an opportunity to check their goods right in the warehouse.

Well, I don’t know, it should be under warranty for a year or not, it was bought from me at the Aukro auction and without guarantees, etc., but English (for consolation). Do not panic, set yourself up for good, otherwise I seem to confuse you. Make yourself some tea, relax and read the recipes.

Rusya and I are talking about the same thing, I confused and intimidated the girl.

That is not, nothing, I'm not one of the shy ones. I too badly imagine it to myself. But after all, I will give the money in the same place, such as cash on delivery, and not on an advance payment. Before that, I received the goods by New mail. But it was just a transfer. And here they send with payment upon receipt, but this is only by New mail. Other agents - prepaid.

Girls, I got it! So quickly - the day before yesterday I ordered (in Kiev), this morning I was already here. Very fast! Regarding the check: I checked it. And the man was checking the kettle in front of me. It was very acceptable. Even the scotch was allowed to pack again Today I will test.

Thank you girls for your advice, support and congratulations. There is meat and milk at home, I will buy beans and peas tomorrow ... And you can turn off the boiler - the frost is not terrible
Now I have a new question: did you immediately cook or did something from the preparatory actions (poured water, etc.). That is, is the saucepan ready for use or still needs to be cooked?

Wash the pot and lid, wipe the mustache, the pot is glazed, these are baking pots in the oven that are not glazed - soaked before each use, but glazed ones are not. Congratulations and I wish you successful meals.

SWIFTA, I was leaving for the weekend, and then ............. our slow-cooker shelf arrived Congratulations on your purchase, let him cook tasty and tasty and please the hostess

[ttvttv]

ttvttv, Thank you.
I decided to cook the first dish "Ajapsandali". I threw frozen eggplants, pepper, fresh onion into a saucepan, after pouring a tablespoon of vegetable oil into the bottom. Tomatoes (canned in their own juice) did not immediately put (acid), put in 5 hours and salt too. Turned on the "AUTO" mode. At the end of cooking, I measured the temperature - 75 degrees. Since I cooked for the first time, then, naturally, I opened it often. Therefore, the cooking time was 10 hours. Tomorrow I will try the result. Leave it to cool in a saucepan.
Has anyone investigated the temperature regime in our DVVs? Something doubts take me out of habit.

They say that it is not recommended to lay frozen vegetables (it is written in the instructions for my CF), you need to defrost them first.

[Irene]

Irene,. Here are excerpts from the instructions for my DVA:
-It is not recommended to use frozen food.
-AUTO mode allows you to cook frozen food.
So think now which point to believe. But if we take into account the fact that frozen vegetables are thrown into boiling water without defrosting during traditional cooking, then tady ... Yes, and defrosted vegetables are beeeeeeee In a word, they did and have already eaten. But ... this year I froze eggplants for the first time and I don’t understand if I like them or not. Some kind of taste they have not ice ...
Girls, has anyone tried to cook something with eggplant ice cream? And how did you cook them before freezing?

[Girls]

Girls, before the holiday, I decided to test my CF when cooking jellied meat. Maybe someone else will come in handy.
Meat: I put ice cream on the shank and legs, right from the freezer, filled it with water, added all the herbs and seasoning to the saucepan. Immediately put the thermometer in there and turned on Huy.
Measurement results:
0 hours (start of heating) - 8 *, then every 30 minutes the thermometer showed an increase in temperature clearly by 10 *. Thus, up to the maximum temperature (the gurgles went), it was 93 * 4.5 hours passed, switched to LOU and for another 6 hours, I was too lazy to get up so early and therefore put it on heating and again for 4 hours. And on the LOU and on heating, the maximum temperature was kept the same 93 *.
There was jelly, bones could be eaten with lips.
Now we know how the temperature rise in our saucepan is programmed, although it was jellied meat and the presence of frozen meat in it at the initial temperature of this meat -18 *.
If it is not difficult for someone and who prepares the compote (I do not cook it), also observe the cooking temperature of the compote every 30 minutes, that is, immediately throw a thermometer there (just not a mercury one), observe, it is clearly visible through the glass lid, and write down.

And what kind of CF do you have?

Ha! And I boiled oatmeal in water, smashed it with a blender and said the same thing - MV is BREATHING!

and I - barley))) current shhh !!!! otherwise we are here ...
Girls, laugh! in the third (!) month of merciless operation of three (!) slow cookers, I finally discovered that one of them (an oval little Englishwoman) had a hole in the lid for some steam to escape! And this despite the fact that the lid is already fitted badly, there are gaps ... In short, I pounded the hole with a piece of wood, and the "dry" became much less

And what kind of CF do you have?

I have 6.5 liters Kenwood. Satisfied with it more than all the other pots.
I dream of buying a small 3.5-4 liter MDV.

Take Kenwood-707, it's 4.5l., I'm very good. like

And me
I have already slowed down two
They gave my cousin for the anniversary, and my friend bought it herself, when we got a cheap analogue of Kenwood Seabreeze

Girls! Now I NEED a little MDVshka, well, quite a baby for a couple of servings of porridge.
How many are the most manipuski, who will tell? Maybe there is no more than a liter and a half?
Firstly, it is easier to hide it from my husband (who, in my opinion, began to guess about my illness with deviceaholism), and secondly, my big one is of course irreplaceable (for 6.5 liters), but I have to make porridge for myself almost every day ... Cartoon is a bit wrong, and still 4.5 liters is too much for this purpose. She works for me on pilaf, soups and pastries. Now summer will come, and I am a herbivore-kashkovy creature and with active exercise, meat and potatoes will not climb.
But pearl barley, millet with pumpkin, beans, etc., just the same will be - but for me alone. Therefore, I just need to have it. Share info with anyone!

[inusya]

inusya, the minimum that can be found in Ukraine is 3.3 l
🔗

If the big one is not busy every day, buy a couple of ceramic pots so that they are included in the big MdV, cook in them in a water bath - you pour water into a large MdV somewhere up to half the height of the pots, cereal and water into the pots ...

I have two half a liter. I keep it for porridge. At first I wanted to shave off one, but now I just have enough of them))) They say there are liter ones, but I didn’t see them, I had to buy these in France, there are no ones here, but there are large currents in Russia. I advise you right away - if you take the baby for "at night" - take the timer to her right away, they are faster than the big ones, there are usually a lot of nights for porridge, they weld. Although the "longest" cereals like unpeeled oatmeal and pearl barley, I put on keeping warm in water, if the water does not fry at all, and I added milk later, I didn’t like the melted one. By the way, I have one oval, and this one spits both for fish and other trifles, and for kaklektam and other meat-vegetables-side dishes, they both fury, I swear, it's wonderful how you manage with big ones, I have three people a family and the largest is 3.5 liters, so it is only if I boil the soup for three days or push the whole hammer ...

Ha, so you think - right now I got up, took the money and went to buy it? Yeah, schazz!
You still have to spend a month on the net; then break your brains with all that there are online stores for household appliances; then call all your foreign friends; and maybe, if you are very lucky, then find ... and not the fact that it will be what you need ...
Who can, please help. Can anyone have an unnecessary one? Or at least give me a tattoo, where to find them?
But no more than 1.5 liters.

We already know this, we went through it ... that means so. there they are in England and America, but - the ruble is transported. there is a little in France, but they don’t send anywhere from there, although I would have looked, there’s a weak chance. There are in Germany, but I have not seen babies there. This epic was successfully completed by Irene, if I'm not mistaken, ask her where she ended up nadybala, I don't remember, but it seems to me within the "post-Soviet space")))

[Venetian]

My friend lives in England. But when I tell her about my technique, she is shocked by me. Well, it is not clear to her, what a fig for me all this.
So you need to first familiarize yourself with what they are, and then tell her: "I want a vote and a vote" ... And she will send.
When I ask her about something, she requires specifics. But I don’t know yet what to ask. We must prepare. To announce, so to speak, the entire list ... That is the question. And I myself am not ready yet, that's why I ask everyone everything.
Venetian, and you are not familiar with the English models? At least a hint ...

[inusya]

inusyathen forward to the amazon of the United Kingdom, looking for slow cooker, we select with the help of a google-translator and give a friend quite specifics. Here is literally the tenth and eleventh models of 1.5 liters, black and white, respectively.

🔗

Duc I have an oval - an Englishwoman, team international. In principle, they are all the same, well, completely, round or oval, black or white, and some have an auto mode and others - keep warm (but I suspect that in fact this is all the same because in the end they all heat up to one and the same temperature only in different modes at different speeds. My Englishwoman has a car, and the second one came to me because I wanted to "keep warm", and now it seems to me that this is not important at all, although here someone tested porridge on keeping warm, it seems, in the recipes for porridge, look at it.In general, this is such an elementary machine that there is simply nothing to bother with.YES! in England, the sockets are awesome, but the adapter is not a problem.

hee hee and if you remember that it was me who gave the tattoos on this Aukrov boy

Adapters are not a problem at all. The only thing you need to ask the boy is to double-check the integrity of the technique very carefully. The fact is that in the same way I bought a stock English slow cooker for three liters (only now I don’t remember which one of the Aukrovsky sellers had), as it turned out, the plastic of the switch and its edging-shield were split in it. After a few months, this block simply flew apart.

Rinochka, I remember that I bought 1.5 ku after you with the IRR (she gave me the number)

Judging by the way my litrushka cooks and grinds, I have doubts about whether the food is languishing in it. I like the quality of the cooked more in my 4.5 liter MV than in the liter.

you know, at first I too toiled with the same. And now I'm not worried. Because I was convinced that they are not hotter, they are just faster. faster "heat up", respectively, it starts to burn faster, but the temperature is not higher, no.

Just about to burn. And my Kesha doesn't weld.Of course, if I came across a 1.5-liter or 2-liter MV, I would buy it for the sake of sports interest. But for now I cook in 4.5 liter. And the litruha is cursed with this propolis, hands have not yet reached and the muse has not visited to do something with her.

do not scold them, they are good. They just do not need to be set for a long time, and if at night, then on the timer. And by the way, look if you have an "exhaust" in the lid))))

vooot ... I plugged him with a piece of wood - and it burned much less

Girls, now I'm comparing two babies on Amazon, one white, the other black, half a ruck.
Progs seem to be the same for both - (only four) Off, Low, Hi. But the fourth program for one is Auto and the other is Warm. Is it the same thing or not?

Auto first brings it to n6a High, and then automatically translates it to Low, but Varm is heating and how many degrees Queenie can tell you with Venizian.
I just remembered that Queenie said that she somehow put the porridge on warming up for the night - well, very convenient, go read her recipes for porridge: pumpkin and apple ...

I came to boast, I got Kenwood 707, though I only cooked compote and jellied meat in it.

Catwoman, congratulations on the new cat saucepan, good choice (y). What are the impressions and where are the emotions?

I haven't figured it out yet, but I really liked cooking the compote in it, put it overnight and went to bed, and in the morning it was delicious, and yesterday I also cooked jellied meat. I was slightly shocked by its size, if it is huge by 4.5, then what is it by 6 liters?
Girls, big request, throw in a few recipes, what you can cook in it, something easier and tastier
Gaby, I’m probably not mistaken with the cat, I’ll definitely bring it on the street. I already threw a fishing rod for my husband, while he was fighting back.

[AT NIGHT]

Catwoman, so I guessed it ... maybe I'll go to the clairvoyants about the cat. Come in and choose recipes here:

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...ption=com_smf&board=456.0

In general, there is a lot of things you can cook in it. AT NIGHT and fish and porridge, in general, a continuous field not plowed for your creativity.

In short, girls, my dream was covered with a copper ... pot.
Our Odessa Edik half a car is not and will not be any more, he said that he was no longer interested in dealing with slow cookers, the latter are selling for 3.3 liters and large bandura.
And on Amazon, I licked at these babies and that's it. They don't work with Ukraine. A Moscow girlfriend has no business with Amazon, she buys everything in the store "live" (and from the conversation I realized that she probably didn't want to bother).
And my friend, an Englishwoman, is now temporarily for six months "not an Englishwoman", she left with her husband under a contract to Kuwait.
So my hopes are not fulfilled yet. And I already, damn it, in a dream see her. And there is no one to help me ...
I would be ready to pay for the shipment if anyone in Russia has such, but so far I can’t think of anything ... So I’ll go for now, cry to a corner ... Maybe I’ll pity someone too much ...

And I'm washing the saucepan in the dishwasher, can't I? Is it all manually?

And I'm washing the saucepan in the dishwasher, can't I? Is it all manually?

Here the girls wrote that ceramics absorbs chemistry well and then you can't get rid of it, you will eat it, because it will release it when heated. You put the pills in the dishwasher? That's just it.

And I'm washing the saucepan in the dishwasher, can't I?

in my instructions to the Englishwoman it was written that it is possible, but that a white coating can form. And for sure, I washed it once, it turned gray and I don’t wash it in the dishwasher anymore, since they are all brunettes.

[inusik]

inusik, Thank you! This saucepan is being brought to Ukraine for $ 20.68 + it itself is 35.00 ..It turns out more expensive than to us ..
