Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Directly on the glass to sprinkle the tunnels? ??? I don’t understand ... Show me how? ()

listen, now the hand-maders are having their fill of decorating. Maybe someone knows how you can decorate a regularly heated luminous surface so that the paint does not peel off?

I have a harmless acrylic German firm Dufa. It is written on the cylinder, non-navigable, with a kind pokrivnistyu, steak until erasing, atmospheric. But how it will behave when heated It needs a current experimentally. But in practice, these pots are covered with a decal (this is such a translator. And they bake in the oven. I don't remember the degrees, but you can't do it at home. This is an industrial process, but there is nothing complicated in it. We buy enamel pots with flowers. Same thing)

[normal]

Girls, I'm still waiting for the first ones normal zucchini and tomatoes (in the sense that they are not nitrate and at a normal price) so that you can not add any water with tomato juice to the slow cooker, and this juice will be natural from the same zucchini and tomatoes. So can you do it? Or do you have to add some water? ??? But I have a saucepan recently (since March). And finally the prices for vegetables now. We sell cabbage in pieces, potatoes for 6 grams (80 cents), and soon IMHO carrots will be half. Or is it only in the Crimea so? Ukraine, respond ...

[IRR]

Good day everyone!
Just now I noticed that it was possible to buy a slow cooker.
IRR, is it too late now? I want ...

And finally the prices for vegetables now. We sell cabbage in pieces, potatoes for 6 grams (80 cents), and soon IMHO carrots will be half. Or is it only in the Crimea so? Ukraine, respond ...

Irish, in the capital the prices are about the same. Yesterday I bought half a cabbage for borscht. I went to buy fruit for the children (although I understand that vitamins are zero whole tenths, but the children also need some kind of taste variety), I left such an amount in the vegetable row that they could only grab a head.

By the way, a lot of fruits and vegetables from Crimea are sold

Girls! Now I am also with a slow cooker - small and pretty!
Such as Gaby's! I like her! I will master.
Thanks to IRR and Gabi for their help in purchasing

[the braggart came]

Here the braggart came I also have a baby now.

Congratulations ! Namesake, did you buy that little one? I will not even ask if you will share your impressions.

Namesake! Duc, with your prayers ...
I will learn to cook less, but more often ...
3 modes - fishing, hi, auto. Boils quickly. I included buckwheat in 7, poured milk from the refrigerator (for cleanliness, tell the experiment). At 8-30 it started boiling, switched to fishing, and left. Arrived at 10 everything is ready.

Eh, and I would be tempted, but for now I am on a financial diet.

and today I found out why my little (3 l) MdV was in stock (from where, in fact, most of such equipment goes to the auction). It turned out that there was a cracked handle and a plastic plate with a small crack. I had not seen this before because I always looked at it from above, but today I put it on the shelf and all this economy was at my eye level. But this does not upset me much, if necessary I will glue it with some cyanopane. And now this saucepan still performs its functions.

As I understand it, small MVs generally give higher temperatures. For example, mine for 3 liters in "warm" mode catches up to 80 degrees in a few hours.

Irr I congratulate you on your purchase! I wish the saucepan a long life and may it always make you happy!
I looked at the photo and I had such an association that these are two saucepans - a mother and a daughter.

Well then, I don't understand how their dad turned out! So healthy!



I can't turn it on. An adapter is needed. I’m waiting for my husband and trying to remember that I once learned, it seems, English (read the instructions for hunting).

[Luysia]

Luysia, the adapter is bought where sockets / adapters are sold from the euro to our type and vice versa (I bought it in the department with all the small household items).

Look for instructions on the Kenwood website, I don't think they are very different - MVA are almost the same (hereinafter a link to the instructions for CP 658 in PDF format)

[Rina72]

Rina72, Thank you!

I have such a shop nearby, I'll take a look.

[IRR]

IRRhow confused everything is!

You are also my "named mother"! Without you, I definitely would not have bought it!

Now we urgently need to figure out what to cook in such a huge saucepan.

The plans are still jellied meat and baked milk.
And another question: the lid shouldn't cover the saucepan tightly, do I have a gap there and the lid is loose?

[IRR]

And another question: the lid shouldn't cover the saucepan tightly, do I have a gap there and the lid is loose?

Yes. It should be so. Jellied meat and baked milk are there. Lyudochka, we will continue to wait for vegetables and young potatoes. Or you may not wait - a chicken. How is your husband? Does he respect the chicken?

IRRhow confused everything is!

You are also my "named mother"!

It seems that we are all relatives here on the forum. Now you won’t find the ends And is it necessary

Yes. It should be so. Aspic and baked milk are there. Lyudochka, we will continue to wait for vegetables and young potatoes. Or you may not wait - a chicken. How is your husband? Does he respect the chicken? It seems that we are all relatives here on the forum. Now you won’t find the ends And is it necessary

Exactly CHICKEN!

Better yet is stuffed chicken. I once did.
It is confusing to only remove the entire skin. And everything was baked in the oven.

So I think it should work in a slow cooker?

If you are not critical of the lack of baked chicken, as in the oven, a crust. Should be tasty ... healthy food again. And apply current with your hands at the initial stage, and then a saucepan sama-sama (as Mikhalkov Gurchenko said at the Train Station for two)

Yes, there was a crust

We'll keep thinking!

Luysia also do not forget about pork knuckles in beer, I made 2 large ones at once, it turned out deliciously.

Now we urgently need to figure out what to cook in such a huge saucepan.

cook as much as you need, it is absolutely not necessary to fill the pan to the top

[Luysia]

Girls, congratulations on the new slow cookers!

Luysia, have you read above how I did not cook in it for some time after buying a slow cooker, because there was no adapter? And then it turned out that he was in the box. Look in the box again, just in case.
Do you have 6.5 liters too? My 6.5, and I put a little there. It even happens that not all the bottom is closed.

[Luysia]

Luysia ! The chicken has a crust! I've done it many times! No worse than in the oven! And recently I made beef ribs (left over from a piece of chops that went to basturma), put it on the bottom, sprinkled it with seasonings and overnight on a low. In the morning - super! , only a drop of water had to be dripped at the beginning, otherwise they were fried!

[Kalmykov,]

Kalmykov, Natasha, Chegoy, I'm dull, but what makes the crust? Must add some water to the chicken when you cook? And the ribs are fried ... and will not crack, excuse me, a saucepan (i.e. t over the left shoulder)?

[IRR]

Oh, IRR, you scared me. I usually don't add some water either. And the crust is fried. And what, maybe it affects the pan?
I had no instructions. As I came up with, and cook.

[Kalmykova]

Well, the instructions in CF usually strongly recommend adding broth or water, unless the recipe contains juice-containing vegetables (tomatoes, zucchini, etc.). Well, we are all smart here. We are bored by the instructions. So we get such pearls as in Kalmykova - fried ribs in a slow cooker. Class, Natasha. 5 baloff! I should try it too. Girls, Anya! These ceramic pans usually withstand temperatures several times higher than we cook. The glaze on them, white and black, is baked at t. 1000 gr. Well, it shouldn't crack ... So I think the pan won't crack, but what if it overheats? Well, this whole box will overheat ... FIG knows.

I fell asleep after Basin's poems. She lay down and fell through. She should sing lullabies

What kind of crusts are you talking about in a slow cooker? Well, yes, something is welded there, but it still does not come out with a soooo fried crust like in the oven.
Or is my slow cooker different, or are there different ideas about the crust? ...

In any case, when using MDV, the glaze on the saucepan will crack, and this is the norm. In any case, it is not necessary to expose the ceramics to temperature stress, that is, if water is added to the cooking dish, then hot; if set to wash, then after complete cooling.

[Zest]

Yeah ...
And I also think - "Look, what a fried crust, beautiful from above it turns out." The ribs really didn't bake, but all kinds of birds - yes. And I noticed that at the bottom, where it is not covered with meat, there is a little condensation (dripping from the lid).
Looks like you should at least read some instructions ...

PS: Zest, well, of course, not like roasting in the oven. But it happens that the onion burns on top, if you do not keep track. You saw, I gave the photo above, there is baked milk. Then there, just like the froth was fried in the oven.
Here, I have already found my milk:

Well, did you get the same ruddy appearance? Ali is not there?

[Rina,]

That's right Rina, as always formulated. The saucepan can not suffer from the temperature, but from the difference in this very temperature.
Qween, Anya! Milk is high class! I also did it in my secondary, the baby photo dangles here. And right now I'm drowning in the baby. Then I will compare. I spent a long time browsing the forum, pestering everyone - I need or don't need MV. And now I bought 2 and are happy! And the last straw for the purchase was a photo of baked milk, exhibited a gypsy.

Well, did you get the same ruddy appearance? Ali is not there?

and I have not tried to heat milk in a slow cooker. Basically, I treat it very carefully. She has her own milkmaid, who has two cows, and she even feeds her 2-3-year-old grandchildren with her milk.
So I got hooked on yogurt mostly.
And ghee is probably delicious. How in the village my aunt had

[IRRusya]

IRRusya, the temperature difference, I think, is not useful for any device. If I add water, then boiling water. In short, you have to be careful.

Well, Zest, get out your carefully stored, slow cooker.

[Zest]

Zest, how, and fermented baked milk ?!

[Zest]

Well, Zest, get out your carefully stored, slow cooker.

Gyyy So about what I carefully store, I'm not talking about a saucepan, but about milk
That's exactly what I don't want to subject to prolonged heat treatment. I sit on yoghurts.

And I didn't even think about him ...

[Qween]

Yeah, exactly - fermented baked milk! Anya, Qween! And you didn't seem to ferment your fermented baked milk with sour cream, but with cream? And how much cream is needed per liter of milk? I have 10 percent in my tetrapak Burenka.

Well, Zest, get out your carefully stored, slow cooker.

She has it, although it is carefully stored, but already without a handle, like mine (I have one glued). Hopefully, the newly arrived slow-brewers will remember what kind of handles, no, no. Whether empty, full - God forbid.

[IRRochka]

IRRochka, yes, I ferment the fermented baked milk with cream.
It turns out this way more tender, without sourness, tastier than with sour cream. I can't even accurately describe the taste, it should be tasted.
But I ferment with homemade cream, very fat. I put a tablespoon with a slide of cream on a liter of milk.

I dare to admit that I have never bought shop cream. And I don't understand anything about them. If you need low-fat cream, then I dilute the homemade cream with milk or even water.

So, I cannot guarantee fermentation of fermented baked milk with 10% "Burenka" cream.

And I try not to forget about the vulnerable slow-cooking pens.Is this a weak point for all absolutely slow cookers?

Which one to choose, both 3 liters, the price is the same ...
Rival - oval, Bravetti - round ...

[Pakatic]

Wow, Pakatic! White ones ... And what is the displacement?

Which one to choose, both 3 liters, the price is the same ...
Rival - oval, Bravetti - round ...

oval, of course, it is convenient to shove meat / poultry, and stuffed vegetables.
ABOUT! I also forgot about lasagna .. the bottom area is larger.

oval, of course, it is convenient to shove meat / poultry, and stuffed vegetables.
ABOUT! I also forgot about lasagna .. the bottom area is larger.

But the oval 3 has off, low, high positions, and the round 4 has worm added ...

wow, I didn't even think to look at the relay, it turns out that this happens
and if you think about it .. and who uses the heating, eh? I don’t use it, in my opinion he don’t care

[natamylove]

natamylove wrote repeatedly that he uses heating. But I understand that this is not the most necessary mode. Much better is the oval shape.

In any case, a timer is needed for such a slow cooker, there is an electronic one,
99.99 minutes ...

[Pakat]

Pakat, in principle, you can use a slow cooker without a timer. I kind of want a timer, but I'm getting around so far and I don't feel any inconvenience.

Oh, we have a round one in Toronto, they sell used ones, they don't fit, or they don't like it slowly ...

Qween , I have 6.5 liters. There was no adapter in the box. But I bought it. The issue price is 8.5 UAH.

I like the little ones ... or any other color, like the gypsy in the pictures. And we only have high-tech - this cold minimalism is stainless steel. And he bangs so quickly ... ugh ... I don't like it!
