Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

therefore "auto" is just a quick set of the maximum temperature that this slow-motion device is capable of.

I agree, I also have it. It boils the most. I'm not using it.

I don't know, girls, is it still relevant about the auto mode (and is it worth listening to my opinion, taking into account the above)))), but the auto mode on all the slow-moving ones that I tried (and there are 4 of them, all different) - it's just the fastest heating ... The slow has no brains, it picks up temperature and jerks it, it does not switch anything and will not switch to a lower one, therefore "auto" is just a quick set of the maximum temperature that this slow motion is capable of.

Very relevant. Thank you! Forewarned is forearmed. And then I'm used to trusting instructions. It turns out that everything is not so simple.
Doesn't he run away to "auto"? If you need to boil milk quickly, will it run away unattended?

I received a message last night, my slow at the pickup point. I'll get it today.

I have nothing in the slow, never, in any mode, escaped. In my opinion, this is impossible.
But since they still have different characters and the manufacturer could adjust the resistance even from his ideas, I would one day probably still try to boil milk under supervision

Does not run away, but the gurgles spill out if you pour more than 2/3, as stated in the instructions.

Doesn't he run away to "auto"? If you need to boil milk quickly, will it run away unattended?

The word "fast" does not roll here, even for the most skittish slow - the boiling time is at least 2 hours (this is in babies) and if it's completely cold milk, in 4.5 liters of Kenwood this process takes a full 4 hours. Many, to speed up, boil milk on a stove and then pour it into a bowl.
So that you have to rebuild in our super-fast time to slow-moving pots of MDV

if there is a question about running away or not in slow motion, then in mine nothing runs away and does not splatter (1.5 and 3.5) and even if I pour 2 cm from the edge. Very good pans, very good. And they discipline. I forgot to load in the evening - in the morning and during the day you lose weight

I received a message last night, my slow at the pickup point. I'll get it today.

I just received a message today, and since I did come to visit my daughter, I immediately took it. More than once I even looked at what was written in the instructions.
She's oval too!

I have already set the milk to languish.

I also boast, they brought me Sibrizka yesterday and I read in the instructions “this household appliance is allowed to be used only for its intended purpose. Kenwood is not responsible if the device is not used for ... ", and so on. It turns out that Seabrizka's dad Kenwood. Yesterday I immediately put the meat without water and, probably, in vain, it turned out a little dry, though it stood for 5 hours. Yes? But my husband liked it. Now we need to adapt so that the purchase does not turn out to be a disappointment

On Friday I stewed chicken with frozen vegetables, we really liked it, the youngest daughter refused to eat, she needs grilled chicken. I came home from work, put everything in Sibrizka and went to clean up the house. I cooked for high for 5 hours, it could have been less, because the chicken turned out - the meat is separate from the bones.

My first baked milk in a slow cooker, put the fermented baked milk. Satisfied. Girls, thank you for being there, without you I wouldn't have a lot. I love you ...

Ira milk

... Girls, thank you for being there, without you I wouldn't have a lot. I love you ...

We are LOVE too!
Let the assistant please!

Ira, congratulations on the first prepared "dish", such an appetizing photo that I also wanted to. And I recently cooked condensed milk on homemade milk, put less sugar on purpose, and now when I drink it with tea, it is sweet, tasty, but not as sugary-sweet as the store one, and I lack this richly sweet taste, that's the power of habit.
Speaking of boiling, when I was cooking condensed milk, I poured 1 liter of milk into my 1.5-liter slow-cooker and put 300 grams of sugar, and this to the eyeballs in mine and nothing boiled, it was cooking quietly.

Apparently, it depends on the manufacturers and the declared capacity. My oil shoots at 1.5 when heating and the porridge also boils, if a lot.

I am learning to cook in a slow cooker, this is my first stew with meat. Here some girls wrote that the potatoes do not cook well, but for me they boiled all over, it turned out delicious. Meat also disassembled by fibers, melts in the mouth. Happy as an elephant. Girls, I am very grateful to you for this Temko, since I discovered this wonderful device for myself.

Ira, did you fry the potatoes before stewing?

I can't get potatoes in Sibrizka on LOU (I haven't tried it on HI). But on the other hand, chicken hearts and stomachs, which my husband does not like due to the fact that they are "hard" during cooking, were devoured after 8 hours at LOU at the speed of sound. This is another "my" dish for DVA.
Z. Y. I have never seen boiling in my DVA, neither on HI, nor on LOW. Virgins, who has Sibrizki, and how are you, also a "quiet" saucepan?

Try the potatoes as Tanyulya did - it turns out delicious meat with potatoes in a sybrizka.

I also get potatoes, everything is boiled.
How great it is to cook in this saucepan, then I took a turkey leg, cut everything off the bone, smeared the meat with all sorts of different things, put it in the saucepan. That's all the cooking, the smells are amazing, the meat is soft and tasty. Well, I'm glad that there is a minimum of body movements with a wonderful result.
The only negative, it is impossible to put on at night, such aromas that they do not let you sleep.

[Stafa]

Thank you, Stafa... I once did this, plus I also added eggplants, even when I just bought DVA for myself. Nothing good came of this: the potatoes are hard, and the onions are like boiled. I no longer risk making onions or potatoes in DVA.

Ira, did you fry the potatoes before stewing?

No Sveta, I didn’t fry potatoes, but I didn’t fried meat and onions with carrots.

In Russell Hobbs, my high boils well and weak gurgles are visible on the low. Today I cooked chicken thighs like chohokhbili. 1 hour high and about 4 hours low. And then she switched to heating (she was waiting for her husband from work). It turned out very tasty. I cooked in butter. The husband said it tasted like lamb. I didn't think so

Virgins, who has Sibrizki, and how are you, also a "quiet" saucepan?

Yes, the quiet one is quiet, but to make it boil with foil, as the girls showed here, then it boils decently on High and quieter on Low.

Yesterday I immediately put the meat without water and, probably, in vain, it turned out a little dry, though it stood for 5 hours. Too much huh? But my husband liked it. Now you need to adjust so that the purchase does not turn out to be a disappointment.

The meat is mostly without water, 2-3 hours on High (maybe less), then I definitely switch to Low as you want or until it's cooked.
I add some water only if I add buckwheat or other cereal as a garnish at the same time as the meat, but the water in this case serves only for cereals and is absorbed by it literally in an hour.
At the same time, it is desirable that the meat was with fat, I love it so much.

girls, I somewhere here already, it seems, was talking about potatoes at the Moscow House of Archeology, but I will repeat: I somehow studied heat treatment technologies, and so starches and starchy foods, including potatoes, have their own specifics - the temperature of their preparation the presence of liquid strongly affects. If you can cook starch without liquid there, some special process is going on, I don’t remember what it’s called, so for nefo almost a thousand degrees is needed. There is some water in the potatoes, so it can be baked, but slow-cooking temperatures are clearly not enough, I remember one time I baked in the oven, on free Soviet gas, so there, at the oven maximum (350 was like it was) for an hour and more of it where to bake it in a slow "dry"?

Fat also affects this matter, but I don't remember at all how

Well, enough liquid is released from the meat during cooking. Maybe you put a little meat, that's why potatoes don't have enough of it. I do almost like Tanyulya, the link above. There in the picture you can see that there is enough liquid. Only I put the meat at the top and it is decent in quantity. So it turns out well. And if you also add vegetables, in which there is water, then in general my gravy turns out, like a thick soup.

[Lyi]

Lyi, thank you very much for the clarification and support, I just thought it was 5 o'clock. a bit too much for the hi, the fat at the bottom was still bubbling well, it was really necessary for a couple of hours only for the hi, and then - for the low The meat has such a ... "cold" taste
I made barley porridge with meat - it turned out like a Soviet canned food - barley with stew, even tastier, we ate with pleasure (such a forgotten taste), the barley boiled down remarkably for 2 hours - high and 5 - low, turned it off at 4 am, at 6.30 my husband ate, was very hot, and at 9.30 I thought I would transfer the saucepan to another - it was still well warm. Wo keeps warm.

Z. Y. I have never seen a boil in my DVA, neither on HI, nor on LOW. Virgins, who has Sibrizki, and how are you, also a "quiet" saucepan?

I have a Sibrizka and it boils well. Not quiet at all)))

Lyuba, what are the proportions of cereals, meat and water? And what meat was it that it turned into canned food? I discovered barley, like cereal, for myself only with the purchase of a slow and multi, where it really turns out, like fluff. I especially like it, so-called. PILAF with chicken ventricles / navels

You infected me with your potatoes)) so I put potatoes with meat and vegetables) I wonder what happens)

Masha, it will turn out very well.

Irin, it turned out sooooo tasty !!! Already eaten everything !!!

So we cook for half a day, and then everything is eaten at once.

Are you kidding, right?

Yeah

Girls and I cooked potatoes with meat (stacked in layers: onions, potatoes, meat, onions). Delicious!!

So, why are we all drawn to potatoes with meat)))

It became so cold, the body requires fuel.

I just wanted to write that it's cold.

Yeah, but under our windows the heating pipes are being changed. During!

This is something else, after all, and the asphalt will soon begin to change

Well, what about zhezh .. waited a whole year.

The asphalt was changed in the spring.

We seem to have all the conversations come to one. In almost all topics.

eh, girls, I would also have potatoes with meat ... but here, damn it, neither traditions nor the appropriate climate ...
okay, at least the pipes don't change for the winter))

no liquid at all? what kind of meat? Moose?
I have chicken fillet, now marinate for a couple of hours, pour water? it is dry. the last time I'm showing off with potatoes, but no, no, I'll cut them on a slicer, just to be sure.

[Rusya!]

Rusya! let's hysteria together. Who else has oak potatoes? who else saves on it? Swift!
