Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

[Alex100]

Alex100, And this will go to the barbecue, what's with the upper leg? With us it is very cheap, but it brings me all to the expensive neck part, so that later I get upset that it did not work out as I would like.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, of course it will, just soak in kefir, you can add soy sauce, and in no case use vinegar ... it dries the meat and spoils its taste

the cervical part is also much more expensive with us, I don’t take it) I see no reason to overpay
the same opinion and the seller))

[Alex100]

Alex100, No no ... I do not use vinegar for the marinade. Thank you very much! I'm switching to jambon!

Now I marinate all the meat with the addition of kiwi, we soften the meat very well. You just need to marinate not very long

[Alex100]

Alex100, as in the third picture, we have meat, without fat, with skin.
.Mirabel, we have a market on Fridays, of course, it happens there with fat and bone as in the second picture, but I definitely don't need this. I buy meat in a regular store, in the meat department, or from the Turks, but there is no pork as a class.
And in general, somehow we recently switched to beef and turkey, I completely stopped being friends with fat, and my husband also lost the habit, a little fatter, so he also says it's hard.

[kirch]

kirch, and I bought concentrated pomegranate juice in Turkey and now everything in it is marinated, I really like it.

Here is such a rice-millet porridge turned out slowly
about 7 hours, of course it was possible to turn it off earlier, but overslept) although the taste suits

[Alex100]

Alex100, How does it taste? Other than from a multicooker?

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, I don't know about multi, I just don't need such a unit
When mom tried, she said like from a Russian stove
The porridge is steamed enough, the milk has already turned out to be baked

From a glass of cereal, it turned out about half the pan, well, maybe a little less (3.5 total volume)

[Alex100]

Alex100, Clear! I need to try the porridge in it one more time. Our slow-cooked porridge did not take root. They said to cook either in a slow cooker or in a milk cooker.

It was the rice that I did not like in the slow, some kind of overcooked, it turns out like a soufflé. But oatmeal from slow-cooked food is.

Dear slow cooker owners, please advise, and all the same with or without auto mode? that is the question....

[puma77]

puma77, for me, it makes no difference, the main thing is that the volume suits me, I have both (if anything)

And I have another meat, neck


My porridge is the best buckwheat, fluffy, grain to grain

best buckwheat

And pearl barley? Before the advent of the slow, we didn't hold it for porridge ... but now the porridge is awesomely tasty.

But oatmeal from slow-cooked food is.

Agree. Whole oatmeal makes a wonderful porridge. It will not cook like that in anything else.

whole oatmeal

whole oatmeal is flakes or grains

whole oatmeal is flakes or grains

Grains, like barley in appearance, turn yellow.

[Song*]

Song*, how barley is cooked, proportions, time?

[Lerele]

Lerele, Song*, Girls! How do you slowly cook barley and buckwheat? I heard a lot of enthusiasm, but I haven't tried it myself.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, I cook buckwheat as in a saucepan, first I cook it in a frying pan, then pour it into a slow lye, fill it with water, salt and that's it. The water is two fingers higher than the cereal, by the eye. I cooked two water in a glass of cereal. And so and so it turns out beautifully.
I didn't cook pearl barley, but I think I just put the cereal and pour water and that's it.It will steam well in a saucepan.
And I also like rice milk porridge in it, just don't cook too long.

[Lerele]

[Lerele, Thank you!
And how and how much rice? I once tried to cook corn milk in it, so my noses wrinkled, I finished eating for several days.

As for that time, I did not notice, but I also did kk usually, for a glass - 250 - a liter of cereals and a glass of milk, I like not thick. And then, apparently enough, I turn it off. It will stand a little and .... Christmas trees, we must do it.

[Song*]

Song*, how barley is cooked, proportions, time?

I just rinse the pearl barley without soaking it, and fill it with a fair amount of water, about 1 to 3, to 4, no less, and cook on low for a long time, several hours, since we like it to be soft and fluffy, and not slide over the teeth. But this is already a matter of taste. The first time you will need to try more often to determine the required degree of readiness. But it's worth it, since the porridge turns out to be tasty, and even with milk, even with water.

[Lerele]

Lerele, Song*, Thank you so much! I will definitely make one and the other

[Song*]

Song*, Thank you. I also think that barley porridge is tasty, although many people don't like barley for some reason.

although many do not like barley for some reason

They do not like because they do not cook, it is dreary without a slow cooker or, at worst, a pressure cooker

Ooooooo, barley is my favorite cereal. And rice. And buckwheat))). No, I will put rice and barley in the first two places))).

And barley for some reason is the most delicious for me with chicken liver stewed in gravy. I mean, the liver is stewed separately, pearl barley - separately. Then we pour everything with gravy ...

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, that's why you are so, I went to put barley to cook and defrost my liver

Slow users, educate me: if you make lamb in it in a piece of sous-vide - on Low or on heating? I planned it in Shteba, but the sour cream won't cook. I thought about the slow

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, so the temperature in it is higher than necessary. My low also heats up decently.

And heated? Although I had already taken out the sour cream, Shteba was free.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, I have a little more than 80 'on the heating, I don't remember exactly, but a lot.

My slow-cooker is heated at 63-65C, I made pork sous-vide, I don't do it anymore, it seems to me that the meat is raw and I can't eat it.

I bought a vacuum cleaner for sous-vide.

Good day. For two years I read you, licked my lips, that's where patience comes from? And I decided to order Russell, I liked him, and I also have such a small grill to help VVK. With delivery to us, you can only get it in the Top shop. She was there in stock since the morning, and the order was netuuuu. Let's search again, nowhere else, again Top shop is on the way, but looked in: wow: available, well, grabbed it! Maybe someone refused, or entered the warehouse. Have not called back yet, I hope everything will work out. Now I have no patience, I would rather get it. They promise the tenth of August.

[Olya]

Olya, I have Russell, I am very happy with him. I hope that you will not be disappointed either

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, of course I will! I already love it, but I want something as soft and juicy as in my grandmother's childhood from the oven. So start to see, while I learn the truth. Thank you all. otherwise, if she had caught me in the store, she would have been stupid for a long time, and why would I need it?

I got my Russell slow-motion yesterday. Today, for a test, I threw whatever came to hand, onions, carrots on a grater, quarter tomatoes, potato bars. put the chicken shanks on top. Why, with fright, an almost full multi glass of water. What for? I don’t know myself, for the first time, it seemed that it would be dry. I turned it on for a strong heating for two, it stood for four hours. I came up and looked at the gurgles. Translated to odnerku, weak heating.It has been worth it for a couple of hours, but the gurgles are the same. I wonder if this is how it should be? So I think to darken for another hour and I will take a sample. I wonder what I can do there?

It will turn out delicious! Do not doubt!

It was necessary 4 hours for Hai!

[Natalia]

Natalia, Natasha, and what is this, strong? And I already have that: girl_est: Delicious .... such a soup turned out. : plach7: And the taste is not at all the same as in pressure cookers. Satisfied ... having given but I had to buy. Now here's another tajin Atlanta waiting.

Hi is strong, when you need to quickly - 4 hours strong and you're done. And if for the night, then 2 hours of Strong, then until the morning of the weak, or if there is an Auto mode, then it is better to immediately put on it

[mowgli]

mowgli, Natasha thanks for the tip. : rose: And then I just have numbers 1 and 2 and heating. I'll know. My family liked my first stew very much, well, and I'm happy of course.

Girls, I'll ask the experts. On the American Amazon and on the Ibei, there are slow cookers with three pots in one device, such small ones. Arranged in a row or in a circle. (Do you need pictures?)

Is there an analogue in Europe?

It seems I’m not looking there, I’ve already looked through everything in German and British Ibei.

Girls! Explain to me, uncouth, what are the bowls made of in slow cookers? I want to buy a slow cooker, now I choose. As I understood, after reading the topic, the pot should be made entirely of ceramic? After all, the meaning of the slow cooker is that food should languish in it like in an earthen pot standing in a Russian oven? And on the sites where they are and where they were once, they write that there is only a ceramic coating, and not the whole bowl of ceramics. And about Sibrizka in some places it is written that the coating of the bowl is generally Teflon. But how, then, for some people they break into small pieces when dropped, if at best they only have a ceramic coating? Help please clarify! If some models have bowls completely made of ceramics, please tell me which models they are.

[Masha Ivanova]

Masha Ivanova, as I understand it, multicooker has a function of languishing, that is, "slow brewing", and then the bowl is coated or uncoated, and the classic MDV with a ceramic bowl is mostly black or white, the Chinese also have terracotta color

all the slow ones have a ceramic bowl, otherwise it's not a slow one, I have a Seabreeze ceramic

Girls, thanks a lot! I would like to know specific models with a ceramic bowl. Maybe one of the girls will finally clarify everything!

Seabreeze, russell hobs, kenwood, electrolux, 1.5 liter Chinese monsters - all with a ceramic bowl

Lizonka, what do you cook in your own most often, I bought looking at you, but she’s idle for something

As for Russell Hobbs, I've been calling various online stores for 4 days, everywhere they answer (sometimes immediately, sometimes the next day, apparently they consult with someone) that the bowls are made of stainless steel or aluminum with a ceramic coating. I read about Sibrizka on the Ukrainian website that it is Teflon-coated! Maybe they only used to be ceramic?
