I poured milk into my old one right from the bag, put it on AUTO and cooked. After a while, a GRAY DISTRIBUTION formed on the walls of the bowl, practically not washed off and began to burn to the bottom and walls.
Since new, I boil milk in a saucepan, then add cereals to determine the thickness, well, I cook for 1 hour on a high and 2-3 hours on a low
Omela
Absolutely unnecessary boiling manipulations. IMHO. It burns to the bottom when there is a lot of cooking time. I had this with the liter, if you put it all night, even on Low. Now I put on a timer for 4 hours. Milk mixed with water, the ratio of cereal: water - 1: 4 (5) on average, depending on the cereal.
brendabaker
I don't cook milk in half with water in a slow cooker, if you really spend so much time, then the taste should be different from the cartoon. I specially take a rustic one so that the foam is 2-3 fingers high, it is unrealistic to cook this in a cartoon, but a slow cooker is the thing. By the way, the smaller the volume of the device, the hotter the character. I had a slowcooker MAMAN, one I returned as a marriage for being in full swing, the second was delivered the same,
and boiled and burned. I threw it away and am friends with RUSSELL.

Water is needed for better swelling of the cereal, the porridge turns out to be more airy, in my opinion.

I recently read about the benefits of soaking cereals and legumes, began to practice, the taste of cooked rice, millet and buckwheat really pleased and cooks in undiluted milk many times better

And for some reason, for some reason, pre-soaked beans and chickpeas in a slow cooker cook for 2-3 hours longer than if I just boil over high heat for 10 minutes, rinse, put in hot water and HIGH for 3 hours.
But we have hard water, maybe that's why.
And I cooked rice pudding in country milk elegantly for 2.5 HIGH hours.

I have both HIGH and LOW boils so that the porridge ran over the edge. And they smelled like burnt plastic.
Otherwise, I would also love to cook a cute and voluminous one that is needed.
Irgata
Girls, this is what I noticed with my 6.5 liter Kenwood, for 5 years it is mostly slow, and so the low mode has already begun to differ slightly from the high, there was no boiling at low before, recently, for a month, at low also boils at the walls, of course, not very much, but bubbles. Apparently it's time not to use the high mode, the low is enough. : girl-th: Smaller, 4.5 liter, I use it very rarely, so he cooks very quietly

Oksana, it is not for nothing that some called this saucepan "monster" for its hot temper.
brendabaker
Because of my seething disposition, I got rid of this petty "brawler-bully" in one fell swoop.
For some reason, with the big ones, it turned out just the opposite. KENWOOD 6.5 liters for about a couple of years perfectly fulfilled his duties, and then he began to cook longer and longer, the temperature was lower and lower, half to lukewarm.
As a result, the food turned sour, but not cooked. We broke up..
ELECTROLUX 6.5 l did almost the same thing, only in less than a year.
Now I think that buying a new one after a couple of years of active use is normal.

Irgata
Yeah, so, on the contrary, your temperature decreased with age .. And my little man is only getting stronger. I don’t think we need to throw them away. They have a very simple design, most likely it will not be difficult for a person familiar with electrical circuits to correct the operation of a slow cooker.
brendabaker
I have the current RUSSELL HOBS 6th in a row. and the FIRST, bought deliberately. On the previous ones, I decided on a suitable volume for me. (3.5 liters is the maximum) I realized that due to the occurrence of power failures, MY models with electronic control after about half a year began to get stupid and the further, the more, plus their large (IMHO)
the disadvantage is uneven heating, since it heats up only the "back and sides".
Mechanical ones are devoid of such a drawback and, naturally, are much more reliable, they are not afraid of power outages. I realized that oval is more comfortable for me than round, because it takes up less space. And also the fact that CROCK POT is better than SLOW COOKERa because food will not stick to the bottom. If I were still treating my pervut with TOSHIBA, I would not know that.
Moreover, slow cookers are not at all expensive units, and it is always nice to buy a "new thing"

CROCK POT is better than SLOW COOKERa because it does not burn to the bottom.
Yandex does not differentiate, both are the essence slowcooking, the bowl is not metal, thick-walled.
brendabaker
If you ask the seller to plug the metal base of the device into the network for a minute, and then use the palm of your hand to determine where the heat has become, it will become clear what kind of device it is. If the warm bottom is a slowcooker, if the walls are warm in the upper half, then crock sweat. This is important, because in a slowcooker, for example, the potatoes need to be laid down, and in the crock of sweat, against the walls, or on top, it bakes from the sides and with top heat. In a slowcooker, you need to stir the food, but not in croc pot. Croc Pot is an improved slowcooker model and is more comfortable (IMHO).
I first checked what it was, and only then paid the courier if the purchase was in an online store.

And what is the deficit, just the third time I read about her
brendabaker
They were produced before perestroika. And they were created precisely as an analogue of the Russian stove so that people who are accustomed to eating traditional folk dishes could get their usual stomach food in the city and not get sick.
That is, there it was really possible to make a dish at a constantly falling temperature and there were recipes to understand the principle.
Therefore, I always start cooking on the stove, then on the high setting in the slow cooker, then only on the low setting.
When I just bought my first slow cooker, I told at work that I would cook for a long time and at low temperatures, like in a Russian stove.
My employee, who herself cooked in a Russian stove, said that I was not speaking correctly.
Because in a Russian stove, the dish is placed in a hot oven and then the temperature drops all the time, and in a slow cooker it first rises for a long time and then stays at about the same level without falling. This prompted me to search and I found information about the boy.

this is not just a shortage, it is a rarity, they were a little released in Sverdlovsk, people were not ready for this kind of units at that time, there were only electric frying pans Miracle and electric kettles, and occasionally electric waffle irons came across. In the early 90s they were. I have such a Boy.

And in the Boy the same way. Only, unlike the current slow cookers, our slow cooker is of a good quality and the bowl is slightly different material. And so also 2 modes.

There, in the instructions, it is required to warm up an empty PAREN for about 20 minutes on high mode. I only have RUSSELL HOWS also requires preheating an empty, no food, slow cooker before ready in it.
And in KENWOOD, in my opinion, it is forbidden to drive it empty without water.
That is, the stove won't come out with a layer of water?

The same as now for slow cookers. A small unit cannot replace a huge Russian stove. The main thing in slow cookers is to preserve the basic principle of cooking in the oven - boiling, not frying, but languishing,preservation not very high t. A slow cooker cannot reduce t by itself, it works like any device that supports a certain t - an iron, a thermopot, a refrigerator And I didn't even think about warming up the saucepan in advance, the main thing for me was and is = languor and without my participation, I never fried anything in advance , did not cook, the Russian stove is like the Russian stove, put it in the pot, closed the damper and everything

I only have one cookbook "THE NEW SLOW COOKER" and it describes how to combine a slow cooker and new principles of healthy eating.
In almost every recipe, a rich broth in combination with wine and wine vinegar, or sherry vinegar, is mandatory, and the dishes are not Russian. But there is no canned food.
And I would like something of my own, like grandmothers, so I ask for recipes from "Parenka"

I, too, would not have thought, but at work they explained to me that the pot was put in a HOT oven to cool down for a long time. That is, from the highest temperature it drops to. room.
And I put it in a COLD slow cooker and raised the temperature for a long time, that is, I did exactly the opposite. Moreover, everyone spoke, from the chief physicist to the security guard who came from the village.
And that's when I became thoughtful
Although maybe someone put the pot in a cold stove, and then started to heat it, or first they stoked the stove, warmed it up. and then a pot there?

as far as I understand, they cooked in the Russian oven in several stages and each dish had its own time to bookmark
roots and potatoes were placed in the oven while it was heated, and bread and pies were baked in an already heated and cleaned oven, milk and boils were placed in the cooling oven to heat ... and so on.

don't bother Slow cookers are the simplest device that allows you not to stand at the stove. The Russian stove is a very complex construction, we don't have one, and thank God! Few of our hostesses would want to spend several hours near her, this is hard work. Slow Cooker - simulates the process of cooking in a Russian oven, and does not copy. She cannot cook food in falling t mode, she is small. The furnace is huge and the heat supply is adequate. So cook different sweets in your little assistant and be glad that it is now available to us, and even with a choice.
brendabaker
Irsha, I am VERY grateful to you for the reasonable and practical advice.
THANK YOU FOR wasting your time on me, I honestly, VERY and VERY grateful to you, otherwise I would have been fooling around that I do not according to the rules.

There, in the instructions, it is required to warm up an empty PARK for 20 minutes on high mode
Not required, but recommended in some cases, but I do not risk hot loading not metal bowl of foods with a much low t. The multi-cooker spoiled bowl can now be bought everywhere, the slow cooker chopped nowhere

for all our solid, not hasty helpers Soviet quiet cooker "Parenka". Manual
1. General instructions
Slow cooker "Parenka" is designed for cooking at home. In it you can cook various meat, fish and vegetable dishes, as well as some cereal products (porridge).
The Parenka electric slow-cooker is an easy-to-use and reliable kitchen appliance with a wide range of culinary applications.
In a slow cooker, the dish practically cannot burn. This most important quality of "Parenka" greatly expands the possibilities of its practical use, makes this device flexible in terms of culinary tasks that can be solved with its help.
Firstly, in a slow cooker you can cook dishes not only from beginning to end, without interfering with the course of cooking after laying, as is the case, for example, in a pressure cooker, electric grill and other existing kitchen heating devices, but also during cooking in Parenok you can "intervene", that is, you can add, add, take out any amount of food and at any time during the cooking process, without interrupting the heating of the device, without stopping the cooking process itself. This means that when preparing food in a slow cooker, you can open the lid at any stage of cooking, taste, watch the dish, evaluate its readiness visually and to taste, add salt, prop up, correct the arising taste imbalances, etc., etc. In other words, the slow cooker provides you with the same advantages that the hostess has when cooking on live stove fire and which all existing electrical appliances do not have, which require tightness during the cooking period. It is for this reason that such "closed" devices as a pressure cooker, an electric grill, and also manti - a cascan (electric steamer) - are not in great demand or, even when purchased, are rarely used in practice. The desire to see, to make sure, to see how it is being prepared there, what is happening, is natural for any person working in the kitchen, and Parenka gives you this opportunity.
But the point is not only in the psychological convenience of the slow cooker, but also in the fact that the possibility of interfering with its work - adding, refilling, lowering and raising the temperature, cooking with both closed and open lids - greatly expands the use of this device.It should be especially noted that for the scattered people "Parenka" is invaluable: food in it will not burn, will not run away, and on the whole it will not let the forgetful person down. Even if, for some reason, the thermal mode in the slow cooker exceeds the permissible value, the thermal switch built into it will turn off the electric pan, and after it cools down, it will turn it on again.
If an overload or short circuit occurs, the fuse will blow and cut off the power supply.
What exactly can you cook at Parenok?
1. Dishes of real Russian national cuisine, out of use due to the lack of a Russian stove with its falling temperature. To do this, place a sitall saucepan covered with a lid in a slow cooker, heat it without food for 15-20 minutes on a high mode, creating an initial high temperature, then add the food according to the recipe and then heat for another 3-4 hours, depending on the specific need. In this case, after three hours, you can transfer (switch) the mode to low in order to achieve a really falling, not increasing temperature.
According to this technological scheme, dishes of Russian cuisine should be prepared: nanny, bake, oil seal.
2. In "Parenka" you can cook dishes of any national cuisine that require long languor. These include, in particular, such dishes as:
Moldovan moussaka; Georgian chanakhi; Armenian kchuch;
porridge;
Uzbek shavlya;
Tajik pilaf;
legume dishes;
Azerbaijani balyk-bozbash.
In these cases, it is also necessary to preheat an empty saucepan in a slow cooker, then add food and heat it continuously closed for 6-7 hours at a high setting (without dropping the temperature).
3. Slow cooker also makes it possible to cook such festive English dishes as plumpudding and haggis, which have outstanding taste qualities and prompted, for the sake of preserving them in the national menu, to create in England devices similar to a Slow cooker.
4. But, apart from special dishes, for which "Parenka" is specially designed, the slow cooker may well be used for cooking any dishes, including standard ones, but in a non-standard situation. For example, while cooking ordinary pasta or potatoes on the gas stove. You urgently need to be distracted for an urgent matter for 15-20 minutes, or even half an hour or an hour. In order not to interrupt cooking, urgently shift (or pour) the cooked pasta into a slow cooker by a quarter or a half, turn it on high or low (depending on the time you need to distract yourself) and calmly go about your business. By the end of your lesson, the dish will ripen, will not burn or boil over, but will be ready just in time. And so in any other case.
5. "Parenka" makes it possible to cook lunch and dinner in parallel or breakfast and lunch at the same time, but with different final dates of readiness. After cold processing the products, you put them simultaneously in a gas or electric cooker and in a slow cooker, so that different dishes ripen with an interval of 5-6 hours, and you will have to carry out cold processing, cutting, not two, but only once - in the morning. This not only saves a lot of time, but also creates less stress during the day, saves nerves, strength, provides a calmer, unhurried pace of work in the kitchen than usual, without quiet cooking.
6. The Slow Cooker can be excellently used for combined heat treatment of food. You can put fried and fried meat, poultry, game into it for subsequent stewing, simmering or bringing to a softer consistency. Slow cooker is indispensable for the preparation of old or frozen meat, which, with its help, gives a delicate consistency after a strong pre-frying or grilling of these products for 10-15 minutes. Adding half a glass - a glass of hot water to a sitall pan to such pre-processed meat - you can get soft, almost velvety meat in 6-7 hours in a slow cooker.
In a slow cooker, you can complete any other method of heat treatment of products, dishes, started on the stove.
7. The quiet cooker can also be used as a "steam bath" for fish dishes. To do this, you can use another container that could be inserted into a regular sitall pan. This container should have, say, a liter volume. Cooking like a "steam bath" boils down to putting fish, onions, potatoes, parsley, peppers, carrots, dill, salt, bay leaf into an empty small container, and boiling water is poured into a large sitall pan around it, and a slow cooker together with a pan closed with a lid, preheat empty. Then the slow cooker is switched on to a high mode, which is kept for 4-5 hours. As a result, an extremely fragrant ear is obtained in a small container.
This effect of "steam bath" is achieved in "Parenok", so to speak, along the way, although for this they usually use a special kitchen unit "steam bath", which is more complex in design.
8. In general, in the "Parenok" preparation of any dish can take from 4 hours (with preliminary treatment with other heat sources) and up to 12 hours, depending on the wishes and needs of the consumer.
9. When cooking in the "Parenka" dishes, in the preparation of which water must certainly participate (or a mixture of water with milk, butter, juices, etc.), it should be borne in mind that in about seven hours about 100 ml of water evaporates without a trace and about 150 - 100 ml is cooked into vegetables or meat, and 200 ml into cereals (cereal dishes). From here it is necessary to dispense water so that the dish does not turn out to be too liquid, since, unlike a stove-top fire, excess water cannot be quickly evaporated in a slow cooker. That is why it is better not to top up than to overflow water when cooking in a slow cooker.
If, nevertheless, after seven hours you can notice that there is excess water, and the dish is almost ready, then the only way out is to remove the lid from the pan and finish cooking without it. This should be done when cooking pilaf so that the rice does not become too boiled.
10. The quiet cooker can also be used as a "ben-mari", that is, a "water bath" for all dishes that cannot stand direct fire. In this case, it is used in high mode with the lid open and filled with boiling water.
The Slow Cooker is also indispensable for any kind of heating of food.

Thank you Vikul, my mother advised me. We talked about cream with semolina, and she says, if you fry the semolina in oil, you get a delicious porridge for a side dish, on the water. Well, I just experimented with milk slowly
brendabaker
And I have adapted to cook porridge in heat-resistant glass cups from IKEA. I put semolina, 1 tbsp. l. pour milk on a finger below the top edge, a little sugar, stir.
I pour boiling water into a heated bowl and put cups in it. I make sure there is about half a cup of water. You can interfere once at the very beginning.
I cover for 2-3 hours at HIGH. I also make buckwheat. In a ratio of 1: 2
A 250 ml portion of porridge is enough for me.
Making rice like pudding:
180 g of round grain rice and about 1500 ml of milk + 3-4 tbsp. l sugar + vanilla sugar to taste. I boil the milk in a saucepan (I have it from the market), rinse the rice cleanly, grease the bowl with 1 tsp of butter, add everything, only put half of sugar first. Stir, cover and HIGH for 2.5 to 3 hours. Pour into bowls, cover tightly on top with foil and let stand for 30 minutes.
Also, at the very beginning, it is better to mix it once. And after 2.5 hours, you already have to look so that it does not get stuck.
Mirabel
Oksana, Super! I will definitely do it!
Sivana
Vika, I fry the diced pumpkin in butter in a slow cooker for about 5 minutes, put all this in a slow cooker, add millet, sugar, salt, pour in milk and set High for an hour, then switch to Low, leave it overnight. Now I understand what stewed porridge is))

I also really like (like everyone else) the slow cooker duck
I don’t remember which program I watched, the chef advised me to use this mixture for color and taste when baking duck in the oven:
Boil honey, soy sauce, vinegar (I bring it to a boil in the microwave). Spread over the duck halfway through cooking.
I also do it in a slow cooker, the color changes before our eyes, it turns out a beautiful, varnished duck)) It is not necessary to bake in the oven in addition to add color
