Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Well, here I am thinking .. Lord, well, that's why I asked where now to look for a big one

There are small knuckles. Yesterday my husband brought me shanks for 600 and 700 grams, and the hoof itself is small. Pour into a slow lid under the top, it will not work out much, but it will work out for a couple of days. I pour water into a large one to cover the meat, but I don’t boil a whole one. then that jelly manages to get bored when there is a lot of it.

Light, while it freezes itself or add gelatin?

try a couple of days - mine is not mine

Olya! In my opinion, if you adapt, it is simply impossible not to love this pot. Not everything turns out tasty, IMHO. We, for example, didn’t use milk porridge at all, well, he pulled a piece of meat out of the freezer, threw it into a slow one and left for half a day - this does not work for me either, boiled meat is not ice at all.
The little one is also very good and necessary. After all, you will not cook condensed milk and ghee in liters at once, porridge for a side dish, melt milk.

Light, while it freezes itself or add gelatin?

I don't add gelatin, sometimes it turns out a little shaky. On what depends, I can not understand. But I don't buy gelatin from the moment I started to cook in a slow lid.

This question interests me especially. That is, it is true that jellied meat becomes the desired "stable" consistency only after a long cooking? Every year I cook from about the same set of products, always cooked in a saucepan on the stove. And last year - in Shteba with pressure, quickly and tasty, but the jellied meat did not freeze until the end. They ate it hot like soup.
Sorry for offtopic

How can you choose if you like both not for color, but for skill.

Duc, I only have one, and I love her

well, where now to look for a big one

on the skin, ears - also good jellied meat, knuckle is too big a bone, I have not put it in jellied meat for a long time, it takes up space, and the exit of the cape is not so big, I put a piece of meat, I rarely even use legs, Kenwood is 6.5 l = good jellied meat

and not to take up space under the bones - even 4.5 liters - is also not bad

Oh, baked milk, condensed milk! Guys, teach, tell us how you are doing! Or stick your nose into the recert

does the jelly become the required "stable" consistency only after long cooking?

pork chicken aspic is more tender, hot is the most dense

beef ears, chopped beef shank, beef * hoof * = they have a lot of gelling substances

pork hooves are even more profitable than shanks - they have thinner bones, one thick shank

And last year - in Shteba with pressure, fast and tasty, but the jellied meat never froze until the end

Maybe there was a lot of water? The water does not boil in the pressure cooker. Before, when I cooked in a pressure cooker, I always added gelatin. And cooked in a pressure cooker for 4 hours. And poured water just above the meat.

Nah, just the opposite! At first I thought that I did not freeze due to the fact that there is not enough liquid

my mother cooked strictly beef jelly - lytka

, shank

, pork ears 2 pcs, beef ears 2 pcs, if there was no meat, usually not fatty beef on the ribs, then the number of ears increased, a little pork skins without lard, meat was 2 \ 3 pots, water to a full pan, broth during cooking , of course, went down, evaporated, although it was boiled with a minimum of gas

the broth was very dense, mom cut the meat into pieces and poured the broth so that * dragoon *, as dad called the frozen broth, was separate from the meat

* dragoon * beef is much more transparent than pork

What's wrong with gelatin

Girls, but I have a sadness.I ordered a slow cooker Russell Hobbs 19790-56 Cook at Home. They brought it to me today, but defective. On the inner surface there is a bubble with a chip. The damage is small, but who knows how it will manifest itself during operation. I didn't take it. Now I have gone through all the online stores, nowhere else is this model available.

What's wrong with gelatin

Nothing, except that it needs to be soaked and mixed in a not very hot broth. And in slow motion, it will cool down for a long time.

It is possible and in hot, if only not in boiling water

Russell Hobbs is now introducing another slow cooker

Searing called
In its bowl, you can fry meat on the gas, then put it in a slow cooker and extinguish it.
But the fact that the bowl is not made of thick ceramics is for sure, it is thinner, I saw a video on YouTube. Well, the price is 3500 for sale BT

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksanochka, happy birthday to you! Happiness and good luck in everything!
I saw this model, it has a bowl with a non-stick coating.

[mirtatvik]

mirtatvik,
Tatyana, THANKS very much for the congratulations, I also looked and there in the description TEFLON, non-stick coating,
This is NOT WHAT YOU NEED

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksanochka, happy birthday from the heart! Family happiness and prosperity!

Girls, who knows what it is?
Does it look like a slow cooker, or is it some kind of wok?

Alena Besha,
Alena, THANKS: rose: FOR CONGRATULATIONS

What an interesting cartoon! I also looked at her somehow, but I’m scared to order ... I didn’t find any feedback on it: pardon: and I’m also wondering - is it more slow, or a wok? In the photo, something of a ceramic pot is not visible at all.

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha,
I wrote to him, he only replied that the volume is 2 liters and inside is stainless steel.
I asked about the country of assembly, and about the ceramic container, I did not answer, only the delivery terms, apparently not at all in the subject.
I saw in the photo only 2 modes, low and medium, there is no high.
I’m afraid I’m grabbing some kind of rice boiling machine.
(maybe you need to insert your bowl of rice there?)

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana! In Vladivostok, in an online store, many similar ones are sold in different volumes. I looked six months ago. Look if you're interested.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, I'm now scared to somehow order a thing from a person who does not understand at all in the internal equipment ... We are already used to it - we read a lot of reviews, shared their opinions with the girls - you already know the pros and cons of this model "from "and" before ". And then - like taking a pig in a poke. I don't think you need it, it's more a wok than a slow one. I am more interested in the work of Asian slows, as presented on Ali. Well, terribly curious what they are in work!

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha,
I want a little white croc pot, but from Europe.
But the toad strangles to pay almost 2 thousand for the delivery of the device, at a price of 32 euros.
With Asian, I'm not at all sure about the strength of their healing clay.

Once (for a long time it's true) I received by mail, cash on delivery, not what I ordered, since then I don't trust such offers. And the money was taken from a friend on a prepayment basis, but the goods were not sent (8.5 thousand rubles) ...

[vernisag]

vernisag,

And the money was taken from a friend on a prepayment basis, but the goods were not sent (8.5 thousand rubles) ...

, so believe people after this, right? (((Although I was lucky in this regard, but I ordered new equipment, but with hands, 100% prepayment (only 2 such things) - they sent them in their best form, and through THEM - everything was fine too.

brendabaker,

Croc-pot - what kind of animal is this? What is he for?

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha, crock-pot is a slow Merikos, such as Crock Pot®

[vernisag]

vernisag,
More than once ordered for AMAZON.
They did not deceive or spoil even once, and they never sent the product in terms of quality lower than it was in the description.
I do not consider Asian options, the prices there are not competitive.

Alena Besha,
Croc Pot is a slow cooker in which a heating element is located around the perimeter of a metal base into which a ceramic pan is inserted.
In a slowcooker, heating only goes from the bottom and the dish needs to be stirred sometimes, it can send to the bottom.
Outwardly, these devices are exactly the same, slowcooker, this is the ancestor of the crocpot
Russell Hobbs 3.5L it's croc pot

I want this to myself, but the toad strangles to pay so dearly for the delivery.

Girls, thanks, clarified! Now I will be "in the subject"))) I see, apparently the usual slow eyes are simply licked off from their European counterparts! That Bork, that Atlanta - you do not need a lot of mind, to distort someone else's model.

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha,
I had Atlanta, it is very cumbersome, where the place where the control panel is strongly protrudes forward.
And it smelled terribly of burner wiring like none of my other. It didn't get better over time.
Calculating Hobbs smelled just one first time.
By the way, Russell Hobbs has a small white model.

I didn't have Borok, but most likely, there should be good quality

I bought Russell Hobbs and never regretted it. 1.5 liters is not enough for me 5 liters is a lot, and 3.5 liters is just right. And he is so compact, beautiful. The most delicious meat is in it, of course, that is, in mdv. In it I also make vegetables and vegetable caviar, whole duck, and cook porridge and soups in Shtebe, yoghurts in the Orsike fermenter. Previously, I mainly made meat on a low, 8 hours at night, and recently it has become 4 hours on a high. It turns out rosy lamb, so soft and delicious. MDV is ideal for tough meat, it also made the meat of young gobies, a little sinewy, after MDV you can eat everything with your lips. I haven’t tried the jellied meat, it’s 40 minutes in Shteba, it’s worth until the morning and I’ll take it apart warm. But what I want to do at DVA is a riyet, I think it is perfect for this. Somewhere else in the piggy bank I have foreign videos, they make fragrant and ruddy ribs in it, I have not tried it either. So this is my favorite saucepan. Recently I leafed through this topic, saw my own post about the timer on the phone and subsequent ones. Now I want to buy a timer to turn off the device after a specified time. I have a similar one in the country - turns on and off the light over the plants.

Girls, what can you say about the Electrolux ESC 7400 mdv? Is it mdv or croc pot? I saw this much more often than Russell, I wonder - in the documentation describe the type of heating element and how it is located?

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha, the slow heat heats along the circuit, like Russell, and in general they are very similar in appearance, only the Electrolux is larger

[selenа]

selenа, Nadya, thank you! I have direct mental throwing about the model and size))) Ideally, you need to have at least 2, or even 3 slows of different sizes. I listen to the girls, since they say that the oval is more comfortable, it means it's true. In such a huge, almost 7-liter, it is probably convenient to cook jellied meat, and in general it is suitable for large volumes. Do you have the same?

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha, I have 2 - Russell and Electrolux, I really want a third liter for one and a half, of course, 3 pieces of different volumes are needed, Electrolux is not small, well, not so huge, if for a family of four, then just cabbage rolls and a larger piece of meat for sandwiches (like boiled pork) and a couple of pork and duck rolls with apples and ..............

[selenа]

selenа, you still seduced me to buy a big slow one too))) My husband is still a lover of food. If you cook something tasty for 1 time, such a surprise immediately - and what, no more ??? : lol: Significantly, I will gradually slow down!

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha,

[Alena Besha]

Alena Besha,
Any slowcooker is HEATING.
Both body and cover and handles.
And there should be air space around it, that is, it is not advisable to put it close to the wall. And the weight is not small.
Therefore, you need to find a place for him in the kitchen where he can work hot for many hours without interfering (I put on the far part of the stove and just two nearby burners remained free)
I felt warm from his work at night in the room next to the kitchen.
Although in autumn and winter it is even pleasing.

but I would not refuse a slow cooker for 10-12 liters, for a small family not for every day, of course
for jellied meat, broth, for large pieces of meat, for autumn preparations, for cooking beans, peas

and for large families - a slow cooker of such a displacement - it's very good, how much time will mom have free, loaded the pan and do other things, nothing will run away, will not burn, the most inexperienced housewife will cook a delicious slow cooker, it is difficult to spoil something in it

there are many products of long cooking, and at least a liter of boil, at least 10 liters - the time difference is not very big, it is convenient to cook more at once, put it in jars for twisting, and have a stock of finished products, for many working housewives this is good

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana, thanks for the information!
Girls, please enlighten me, how do you use mdv when preparing?

[Irsha]

Irsha,
Ira, you want a big one, but I drool on a small one
I want white and not big

Irsha,
If you order only 9 quarts from America and immediately a transformer.
There should be big ones on e-bay too
And how to wash such a weight?
I wanted to buy a 9 liter chic French cast iron pot, sapphire color, with a brass pipette on the lid.
I ran up to him and grabbed this handle ....... and realized that I couldn't even remove the lid from it, let alone lift it full of food.

If you only order 9 quart

yeah, okay .. I have both 6.5 liters, and 4.5 liters, and 3 liters, and 800 ml

this is me by the way - what if you can buy a big slow-motion, you have to take it, it won't be superfluous

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksan, let's want together, I don't have to be white

mdv with blanks?

jam
melted butter since then I have not yet run out of ghee, melt pork fat into lard in the same way

For some reason, on the official website ELECTROLUX there was no such position as Esc 7400.
I called them a couple of years ago, when I just bought this model and it turned out that its power is lower than the specified one and there is no sound signal at the end of the program.
They did not know about the existence of such a multicooker.
I just called, the answer is the same, there is NO in the official catalog of this model and there is no information about it.

I don't have to be white

Here, for 1.5 liters

Hope, how would we want it so ..... so that with free shipping, otherwise the toad has strangled me simply.
