Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Maybe you can still find not used mechanical KENWOOD for 6.5 liters and 4.5 liters
And electronically controlled 4.5 liters.
But delivery by a transport company is also not cheap now
I never bought on Ali.

I apologize if I violated the forum rules

yes, you have not broken anything, there are just newcomers who just go to the last page of the topic and ask - what to buy or how it works

and your data in your profile - how to advise, not even knowing where you live .. in big cities, the same shopping conditions, in small cities - completely different

I live in a small town, slow cookers - via the Internet, in real life not

I have Kenwoods, I like

there is no particular need to read this particular topic, start the search for your computer * buy a slow cooker * - you will have a bunch of options, look - what suits you exactly for your place of residence

we have a small town, but there are 2 online stores - delivery is not via mail

maybe there are options for you on Avito, this method of cooking is not suitable for all people, they take and sell

but to advise you exactly which slow cooker to buy - everyone praises his own, we know our appliances - and we praise them

Girls, and here is some kind of Seabreeze (maybe she did not write correctly), who has someone like her?

They are not in Russia, they are only sold in Ukraine. She's good.

[natalialucky]

natalialucky,
Sometimes it helps if we ask friends, or employees ... often what we are looking for has long been gathering dust in a box from someone from our acquaintances, on occasion bought cheaply and completely unclaimed.
This is how I got my very first slow cooker (my parents brought it from abroad, and the children did not need it)

Added on Monday 19 Dec 2016 1:03 PM

Helen,
Some of the Seabreeze models have very weak handles.

Irsha, okay, at least they reassured me, I attacked me without a second thought, so I caught fire very much. I wanted to give myself a gift to N.G. I live in a village, the city is not very far away, but I looked through their catalogs and the SLOW COOKER does not find anything, for that there are no problems with multicooker.
Avito overlooked the nearby cities, so far nothing has come across.
Somehow I'm not very friendly with languages, so I don't really understand not on Russian sites, but I would not refuse Kenwood! There are no detailed instructions on how to order them?

The girls seem to have found such a delivery on a Russian site under the order to any city. Please see with your experienced gaze, is it worth it or not? Slow cooker Russell Hobbs Cook Home 19790-56 (3999 rubles)

[slow cooker buy]

I don't really understand not on Russian sites,

I also

ask around this subject

girls on amazon, fuck ordering, I never

try to enter into your search slow cooker buy , I have shown several options for our, Russian stores
here you can leave a request, maybe someone sells (sells) a slow cooker

[natalialucky]

natalialucky, on the site topshop Russell Hobs is sold for 3.8 tons. Good slow

try to start a slow cooker in your search to buy, I have shown several options for our, Russian stores

yes, I began to display the search on online stores, apparently googled at last! And now the problem is to calculate the cost of delivery, since they do not write dimensions, weight, etc.

Tonight I will put on sale my Morphy Richards 48710 - 3.5 liters. I cooked it twice: I cooked jellied meat and stewed cabbage rolls and that's it, it's worth a year.I understand all its advantages, but it's easier for me in a multicooker. And in general, I rake the consequences of my shopaholism)

At work and for breakfast I put barley on Low for 8 o'clock. Turned off after 5 hours.


I did not have time to film everything, as almost all
Barley barley


Maybe I should have been for 4 hours on Low

And this is the second dish of half a turkey (5 kg)

This is a view from the other side

After languishing 4 hours on High and 8 hours on Low. I didn't pour water, but a lot of juice was melted. The juice is clean, odorless.

On the other hand

Delicious. You just need to play with the cooking time. Choose the optimal mode.

[Oleg]

dimensions, weight, etc.

heavy, not small but original quality packaging

Oleg, deliciously like everything
I would be barley forfigI took half a cup, so that when ready there was a full bowl, I don't like empty space in the casseroles, I froze the excess porridge, so that later I would not drive the slow one again for 4 hours

I would have bought barley half a cup

I agree, but I'm just learning so far. And it's so cool, put it on and that's it, no need to look, hands and time are free. Unusual at first. It is interesting to try the new European ones with Teflon bowls. Do they also store heat?

[Oleg]

Do they also store heat?

if the basis thick

interesting that slow-cooker-slow cooker, only expensive

Added Monday 19 Dec 2016 09:29 PM

Oleg, but you can down the barley + water, and put the meat on top - imagine what kind of porridge will be - soaked in tired juice and fat

soaked in tired juice and fat

And again, I do not argue, only if the eater is 20 years old and the weight is normal.

[Oleg]

Oleg, and where did you get the blonde Kesha ???

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, On Avito, in the Krasnodar Territory, was sold in leftovers. I first signed off, then phoned, (I checked if there was a store on other sites, its phones ...) transferred the money to the card. Sent by TC, it was packed in a wooden box. Reliable. I think there are proposals now. I have been waiting for 8 months for a proposal.

They periodically visit Avito. Both 706 and 707 models.

Boom look !!!

[Samopal]

Samopal,
Does this wooden box TK deliver to the apartment, or only to the terminal?

only if the consumer is 20 years old and the weight is normal.

and where are you taking that melted juice and fat from meat? throw it away?

barley soaked in them, a good base for soup = barley + potatoes + onions, carrots = quick, easy, satisfying, and without meat

I have been waiting for 8 months for a proposal.

and not in vain

[Samopal]

Samopal,
Does this wooden box TK deliver to the apartment, or only to the terminal?

This is how you order it ... if you want to go to the terminal (called "Palette Board"), if you want to go to the address (called "Rigid packaging") ... only the price will be different

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, You already Helen, answered. To the terminal.

[Samopal]

Samopal,
Lerele has slow cooker stewed turkey recipes
and pork with bread sauce in a slow cooker.
Here I sit, lick my lips at your turkey and ponder what to choose: thicken the sauce with bread and sour cream, or put potatoes down to absorb the juice from the meat.
I will bake my turkey in the oven for Christmas in the traditional way, but you can dream it.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, A bad-smelling dark-cloudy liquid is melted from the store chicken, which is immediately poured out. And here it is transparent, pleasant in color, taste and smell. So I also think that you can use it as a gravy.

[Samopal]

Samopal,
I will have a homemade turkey, also 5 kg, but in the oven, wrapped with a frlga, 160 ℃ -170 ℃ and 4 hours.
All the same, I will most likely cover it with potatoes.

I will have a home turkey, also 5 kg,

Just marinate it in 2-3 days

[selenа]

selenа,
I only salt and pepper, inside or onion, or onions with chanterelles.
And I grease it twice with butter, the first time I put it in the oven. a second time before browning.
This is my family Christmas recipe for over 35 years.

Yesterday in the store I saw a nice ceramic saucepan. I wonder if you can cook on gas in it too?

Yesterday I saw a nice ceramic saucepan in the store. I wonder if you can cook on gas in it too?

Read the pictogram on the bottom of the pot. There must be the designation "gas stove" Or it must be written on the original packaging.
Not all ceramic pans are suitable for gas.

And we have cabbage rolls today
Fas

Profile

4 hours on High, 4 hours on Low.

The cabbage was sorted out through the microwave, it turned out neatly.

Read the pictogram on the bottom of the pot. There must be the designation "gas stove" Or it must be written on the original packaging.

Yesterday I wasn’t aiming at buying such a saucepan, so I didn’t go into the instructions, all the more I want a slow cooker!

[Samopal]

Samopal,
The stuffed cabbage rolls are magical, they look stunning
I would like to know in more detail in which of your two they cooked, did they add liquid, why did they decide to combine modes, instead of
or 4-5 hours on Hai,
or 8-10 hours on Low
I'm going to cook myself, collecting experience

Girls, eyes run up, I want everything
I can bring what is on the German Amazon (as I understood, you need to look for the word Schongarer, I don't really speak German, it's just that all the models that I looked at have this word in the description)

What is the difference between hot pot and just slow sweat, and which is better?

So I realized that I had to take 3 pieces at once: large by 6-7 liters, medium and small by 1.5-2
There are a lot of models, brands are mostly unknown to me.
The main thing is not Teflon, I want ceramics

Tell me, pliz, what to take for yourself?
If anyone is from St. Petersburg, I can also bring it.

I have only 1-2 days to decide

[IRRI]

IRRI, not hot sweat, but crock sweat, the side walls are heated in it. And there is also a slow cooker, the bottom heats up, they say that it can burn to the bottom and that it is better to take crock pot.

[Masha Ivanova]

Masha Ivanova,
Yes, exactly, crock pot
My head is spinning, I urgently need to buy everyone in Germany, and what I don't even know

Thank you!

So you need to look at croc sweat, it's already easier

Can anyone understand the models of European technology? And then for me everything is unfamiliar there

Added Wednesday, December 21, 2016 2:26 PM

And croc pot is only croc pot? And then all the others only have Schongarer written, the translator does not translate it for me
Who speaks German, by what words can I understand that the walls are heating, not the bottom?

[brendabaker]

brendabakerThe questions are interesting, of course. At first I thought to issue a recipe, and then changed my mind, I thought that everything was already in the subject here
By liquid,- alone One of the features of a slow cooker from an ordinary saucepan is that water, when cooking, does not go anywhere, well, or, almost never disappears. Therefore, in an ordinary cast iron pot (we have Teflon for ceramics), we pour stuffed cabbage 1-2 cm above (rice absorbs). Here I have also uploaded. It turned out a lot of liquid, not needed. The cabbage gave a lot. But it is interesting that in an ordinary saucepan there is meat broth, but here it tastes like cabbage broth. Not very tasty. All the juices remained inside the cabbage roll. And this is already very tasty. It seems like they were sealed. I added tomato paste immediately, and when I forgot, then an hour before being ready. The taste was not greatly affected by the time the tomato paste was added. Therefore, water must be added flush, or even slightly below the level of cabbage rolls. I could not figure out where to use the excess liquid. You could cook vegetable soup.
By time... You are certainly right. It was necessary to put it that way. But I decided to have time to cook before dinner, so I set it for 4 hours on Hai. We didn't have time to get ready. I had to go to Hai for 5 hours. But since dinner had already been ruined, no one was in a hurry. So I added 4 hours to Lowe. And so yes, it was necessary for 10 hours at Lowe and either to work or to sleep

[IRRI]

IRRI,
Check out the Amazon. de, enter slowcooker and read the descriptions in English.
You can choose the models that you like in Germany.
At first, I would not get excited, you need a habit to a slowcooker, first you need to decide for what purposes it is intended and from this watch its displacement.
If only for cereals, then either a small one, or a slow cooker,
if jellied meat, cabbage rolls, meat in a large piece, then a large one.
And, if half a chicken with potatoes, then 3.5-4.5 liters will be just right.
And a good recipe book, better in English, since with German ... not so hot

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, that's why I want to take all three of different sizes, which will not work, will not be in demand, I will attach here
I would have to decide on specific models, brands
There are so many slow cookers out there, not what we have
Is it possible to switch to English on a German Amazon? How? And then I suffer, in Yandex translator I drive pages

I will spy on the recipes on the Bread Maker, and myself with a mustache

Added Wednesday 21 Dec 2016 2:52 PM

I also read you a lot and found Kenwood 707 in Novgorod, the last one, already ordered, the order was confirmed, they will send it in a week
If I buy myself a slow-motion in Germany, I will attach it

natalialucky, on the site topshop Russell Hobs is sold for 3.8 tons. Good slow

I found it for 1590 rubles, went to study the characteristics in more detail

Therefore, water must be added flush, or even a little below the level of cabbage rolls.

try it without adding water at all, you will feel the difference in the taste of the resulting broth, for stuffed cabbage I pour very little water on the bottom, since cabbage does not give off juice as quickly as, for example, peppers

and - vegetables do not have enough temperature for cooking, enough meat, vegetables without water enough - they begin to languish from the inside, and vegetables in water lacks

and if you cook vegetables, then on high, the temperature is higher

And a good recipe book, better in English

a slow cooker is not a bad analogue of a Russian oven, so we can handle it ourselves

our - Russian experience: a milk cooker or boiling in a water bath, steaming, cooking in pots in the oven - yes, we ourselves have a lot of experience, transfer all this to a slow cooker, and everything will be fine

all the more a slow cooker - such a compact, economical, predictable * Russian oven * = miracle, miracle is a saucepan

[Irsha]

Irsha,

a slow cooker is not a bad analogue of a Russian oven, so we can handle it ourselves

Yeah,

I also read you a lot and found Kenwood 707 in Novgorod, the last one, already ordered, the order was confirmed, they will send it in a week
If I buy myself a slow-motion in Germany, I will attach it

How much did you buy?

[Samopal]

Samopal,
I copied myself the words for stuffed cabbage, which the author, Katie Kimball, cooks very lazily, just laying out in layers in a 5 quart slowcooker.
Ingredients:
1 medium head of cabbage
1 lb (450g) ground beef, or pork
2-3 cups of BOILED brown rice,
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 tsp dry ground garlic,
1/2 tsp ground paprika,
1/2 tsp dry fennel,
1 tsp dry thyme,
1 / 8h l. allspice,
1 tsp salt,
1 cup tomato sauce
150g (6oz) tomato paste
500g (15-18oz) chopped tomatoes with juice.
1 tbsp. l, molasses, or sugar,
1 / 4h l. dry oregano.
How to cook.
Wash cabbage, cut into quarters.
Disassemble each quarter into plates about 4 leaves wide and cut across into pieces, * for one bite *

In a large bowl, combine the minced meat with rice, paprika, fennel, half thyme and half salt.
Add allspice, half garlic and onion.

In a measuring cup with a volume of at least 4 cups, mix together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, chopped tomatoes, 1/2 hour. l. salt, molasses, 1/2 tsp. l. thyme, oregano and leftover onion and garlic.
Pour a thin layer of sauce into the bottom of a 5 quart slowcooker bowl.
Divide half of the cabbage.
Top with half the meat filling,
Top half the sauce
And repeat again.
Cook vegetables for 8 hours on LOU,
Or 4 hours on HI.
Serve hot.
Top with a mixture of sour cream and grated cheese and sprinkle with green onions.
That is, the liquid in which cabbage rolls languish with a very rich taste is quite dense.

Irsha,
Ira, the issue price is only 5-6 euros.
If you know where exactly the Russian long-term experience of cooking in a slow cooker is summarized in a condensed form, except for 2 pages from Pokhlebkin, please, throw a link, I will gladly expand my horizons and diet
We have already discussed the analogs with the Russian stove in the topic.
Cook the oven at a constantly falling temperature.
A slow cooker for 3-5 hours only INCREASES the temperature, so all analogies with the Russian stove are far-fetched
But he cooks deliciously, no doubt about it.

[AUTO]

Cook the oven at a constantly falling temperature.

Once I came across information that those slow people who have a regime AUTO they do exactly the same, at first they quickly gain temperature, and then slowly reduce it. Himself did not check, since there is none.

I have an auto mode, but it works like a heating, I put meat on it once and tried to cook it for a day, then I switched it to high, but I forgot about that mode for good.

[Samopal]

Samopal,
I had the very first 2.5 liter slow cooker with auto mode, it was very convenient for milk porridge, at first, in an hour or an hour and a half, it rose to a hint of boiling, and then switched to heating. Hercules turned out great.
Now they no longer do such, probably.
For modern slowcookers, the High reaches 300 ℉, and the LOW is about 200 ℉. That's what my book says about slowcooker.
(And little Russell Hobbs on High raises only up to 100 ℃, and on Low up to 90 ℃)
Therefore, such different results are obtained on the branch, who can leave for the whole day, and who can not.

on High it raises only up to 100 ℃, and on Low up to 90 ℃

high temperature for slow, but apparently - Europeans are more hurried

For modern slowcookers, the High reaches 300 ℉, and the LOW is about 200 ℉.

almost 149 * C for high and almost 93 * for low = high temperatures are not slow at all, this is already a hybrid with a brazier, which in some cases is also convenient for someone
