Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

I do not have one on one - more than 4 years old Kenwood 6L, 4 years old 3.5 liter slow and monster is already 3 years old.

Straight on all slow models?

I have a black bowl at a 6.5 liter kenwood, there is a cobweb, I use the slow one all the time, not often, often, but as needed for large volumes

on white bowls - not noticeable

I learned about the ubiquity of the appearance of microcracks from the same topic, for a long time, I calmed down, I have this Kenwood for about 7 years, before it there was a quiet cooker Parenka, there is a bowl made of another material, and white

there was a quiet cook Parenka

where is she now?

Mom. I bought myself Kenwoods, gave the 3-liter one to my mom, it's a good thing for grandmothers, and it's easier than Kenwoods

[Irsha]

Irsha, Irina! Yes! For grandmothers, she's really good! And to us, girls, what better give!

And to us, girls, what better give!

And to us, girls, what better give!

although not all girls immediately cope with a samovar pot

[Irsha]

Irsha,
Ira, the Kenwood instructions say that in a few years cracks may appear on the enamel, like on any enameled ceramics.
This is not a defect and does not interfere with the operation of the device.
Page 121, point 8 is for white, and for black I no longer remember which page.

What are your adorable illustrations?

the instructions say

as an average person, we read the instructions last, only if that ...
------------------------------------------------

our pots before the holidays

Tell me, unimpressed ..., today I want to put jellied meat for the night ... for how long and High or Low?

[Helen]

Helen, I put on HI in the morning for 4 hours, it was not enough, I added another 4 hours on HI, they are coming to an end (1 hour left), the meat is not ready, I will put on 4 more on HI, I think in 2 hours everything will be steamed. I used to put Lowe at 12 o'clock and didn't bother. And now I was wrong with the purchase of food and time. Therefore, I cook everything on Hai, and I recommend you

[Oleg]

Oleg, wow !!! can still put on Lowe for the night? I have a turkey chicken ...

[Helen]

HelenI forgot to say, I have beef and fetlock joints

[Samopal]

Samopal,
And in which of the two did you put it?
White Kenwood accelerates in 2 hours on HI, and after 5 hours on HI begins to blow bubbles and snort, then slightly reduces activity, but I'm afraid that the jelly will have time to stir up. In the middle, everything trembles, and along the edges the bubbles are noticeable and not small. Not often and not assertively, but there is gurgling there for a while.
And on the LOU, the liquid only barely trembles, put it at least 10 hours.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, I have the same transparent broth everywhere, only Kenwood warmed up earlier (after all, the volume is smaller), but the meat is not ready there and there yet. The KENWOOD CP707 has a volume of 4.5 liters. will be ready early, because in the Electrolux 6.7 liters. boiled (bulbs went) an hour later. I am all of you and

[Irsha]

Irsha,
I read first in English, then in Russian, and for two key words, German text.
This way you can track the translation inaccuracies and understand what the manufacturer wanted to say. Well, at the same time, what kind of device did you actually grab.

I was so pleased

Who wanted cabbage soup here ???

Cabbage soup with sauerkraut in a slow cooker (Lerele)

natalialucky, for 3100
A very sincere price in our reality
But she is one of the defective ones, therefore she hung out in the warehouse, there are 2 places on the bowl, as if poked until the icing seized
I decided that it was not critical and bought it back (that she had cosmetic defects, I knew, they just could not tell with which ones, they only said that they were new and fully working, they could not take a photo, it was somewhere in the warehouse, nobody did will, agreed that they are sending to St. Petersburg, and I will look at the place and decide whether to take or not take)

Now you still can't find these slow ones, so it's not up to show off

Thank you! My husband promised to help in ordering from Amazon, we will try in our free time!

I show off sour soup of a very rich taste.


Squeeze 500 g of sauerkraut (if very sour, then rinse and squeeze),
Chop, mix with 1 tsp. sugar and 1 finely chopped onion and place in a greased slow cooker bowl.

I laid out whole cabbage leaves on top, they do not allow the contents to dry out and burn during long languor. A little butter on top, better ghee.

Covered and set on Low for 10 o'clock.

I dried 1 tbsp in a dry frying pan. l. flour until light brown for dressing.
She took out 2 glasses of broth from the freezer.
And she went to bed.

In the morning, I threw away the dried and darkened upper leaves of cabbage and stems of greens, added flour, hot water and broth, mixed the contents, put the bay leaf, added salt, added pepper, added brine, mixed and allowed to sweat for another 1 hour.


All vegetables were cooked in one pot, but each vegetable remained with its own taste, which is impossible to do on the stove.
A very rich taste almost out of nothing.

Here is a basic stewed cabbage soup recipe useful to every slow cooker owner.

brown broth
easy to cook in a slow cooker

[Irsha]

Irsha,
Ira, thank you, I am just experimenting with French onion soup in a slow cooker, there broth from fried bones is an important component

[Oksana]

Oksana, Gorgeous! I will definitely bungle such cabbage soup.
girls! tell me, why sometimes meat is obtained in a slow meat, like a rag or grass? you don't have that? It seems like I'm preparing the same dish .. but the results are different .. Yesterday I cooked goulash from Sveta-Staf .. like a gorgeous recipe, it turns out awful yummy, but I got it, well, just beeeeee ..
meat is not like that?

[Vika]

Vika, meat ... different meat
therefore, completely * trust * the slow cooking is not worth it - a check is needed, different meats are not cooked in the same way, it is very easy to overexpose

[Irina]

Irina, yes that's just the point. that I have not overexposed ... I do not completely trust the slow cooking. nope .. well, only if you run out for an hour with the dog for a walk .. and so put it and went for a walk for the whole day. I can not. the result in such cases is far from the best

[Mirabel]

Mirabel,
Vika, did you add wine, or wine vinegar, or lemon, or mustard to the meat?
The acid prevents the meat from loosening.

The acid prevents the meat from flaking

there it was necessary to add pickled cucumbers and a little brine according to the recipe. there is so much vinegar flopping everywhere that acid should be normal.

[Vika]

Vika, and you by any chance did not according to the recipe meat in a pot, what did Paperka give? And then I am going to do it in slow motion tomorrow. M. b then make in a pot

Papererka

She is Rarerka

She is Rarerka

I read Russian. And for what?

[Luda]

Papererka

Rarerka

Luda, well, then, Popepka.

[Luda]

Luda, well then Papepka

Added Wednesday 04 Jan 2017 7:57 PM

Somehow not euphonious

I read Russian. And for what?

It was her son Valerka who called himself so in childhood.

The acid prevents the meat from loosening.

Oxan, acid softens meat

there is so much vinegar splashing everywhere

try to cook for a long time without any acids

marinate meats just for faster cooking

i.e., Vika, you just put less time if the meat is initially marinated

[Irina]

IrinaSo the meat was not marinated, just a little brine had to be added at the beginning of the process.
Ludmila, no, no, Lud, this is another recipe from Sveta-Staf, there is beef, and here is pork, here it is, as I think. will not be a rag
I also plan to try this recipe slowly .. maybe better in tagine? although it seems that it should be very good in slow motion.

I make beef from 3 to 4 hours, and pork up to 3 hours, no more. Here I recently made beef twice from one piece, the first time and 4 hours, everything is stiff, and the second piece stood less than 3 hours and was ready already. I try to taste the meat for readiness.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, Svetochka! I also tried in the process, the MSO was tough and raggy, softened and completely disheveled
This is not the first time I have this in a slow motion. Somehow the idyushatina also turned out not to be so.

Maybe this is meat? Initially, not ice, but save at least slowly.

I'm currently experimenting with chocolate pudding

Moist, rich chocolate color and flavor,
But it is clearly necessary to bake it not on Low, but on High.
I will freeze the excess, on St. Valentine will be the best with vanilla ice cream

[Vika]

Vika, I made "meat in a pot" in slow motion according to the recipe of Rarerki with beef. It turned out very mentally

I'm currently experimenting with chocolate pudding

heh, then we know chocolate on boiling water

2 cups white sugar
1 3/4 cups flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 glass of milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

3 h 50 m
Spray the pot to a large slow cooker with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In a separate small bowl, beat together eggs, milk, butter and vanilla until well combined. Whisk into boiling water. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients and stir.
Pour the cake dough into the prepared multicooker.
Set the multicooker to "low". Cook until cake has wet spots on top and has come off the sides of the shard, about 3 hours. Turn off the multicooker and allow the cake to rest for 30 minutes before serving.

Oksana - pulled out how? stuck, like, a little?

they write a regime for their slows, and sometimes they have bowls, we saw, not ceramics - Teflon

here's a tip from the author - Try using the insert in a multicooker for easier cleaning.
and so - you spend your time with Edlenka, she doesn’t let you get bored, you rusty her idle

[Irsha]

Irsha,
Ira, I need to bake on Hai, then on the Internet I looked at other recipes for chocolate lava cakes.
I forgot to grease and started taking it out early.
When you let stand until warm, it is better to take out and easier to cut.
Really unusual dessert, I have apple pudding next.

Added Friday, 06 Jan 2017 08:18

Ira, this is the second slow cooker with which I have developed a relationship.
I was deliciously fed by the very first and this, the eighth. The funny thing is that I received both of them as a gift.
Intermediate 6 disappointed and went to takeaway.

Added Friday 06 Jan 2017 08:53

That is, slow cookers with a tall, round, light pot are good for me.

chocolate lava cakes

I would use our radish02 and phillips for lava cakes = the bowls are small, there are modes of simmering - if you want to bake at a low t, it will be well removed, and the volume is not large

a?

[Irsha]

Irsha,
I like it the most from the slow cooker, so rich taste, indescribable, how the chocolate opened
Moreover, the slow cooker makes a crust on top, but the slow cooker does not.

the slow cooker makes a crust on top

This is a great idea for me, since I prefer a hearty breakfast and a weak dinner.

STEWED TURKEY LEGS

We, in * Pyaterochka *, were selling turkey drumsticks for only 165 rubles for 2 pieces.
Bought 2 drumsticks, 1 carrot, 1 tomato, 10 small potatoes and a pack of dry herbs * French herbs *
At home I removed the skin from my legs,
poured 2-3 tbsp into a plate. l. odorless vegetable oil, added salt, paprika, dry garlic and French herbs.
I rubbed the mixture into a paste with a spoon and smeared it on the shins.
Let them sit while I prepare the vegetables.

On top are tomato slices. Salted.
Covered and set for 5 hours on HI
I forgot to write that I poured a couple of tbsp on the plate where the shins lay. l. boiling water, and washed off these residues of oil with herbs in the bowl too.
I didn't add any more liquid, everything languished in its juice.


I got tender meat * eat with your lips * but not cottony, but juicy and complemented by delicious vegetables.


The resulting juice in the refrigerator froze in the most delicate jelly. So the question was decided from what I will cook aspic - from turkey drumsticks.

IRRI,
How did your saga with the purchase of a slowcooker in Germany end?
Are you satisfied with the result, the device is assembled in China, or not?
(I was just shocked when, having ordered an American RIVAL, requiring not a cheap transformer, I saw the device MADE IN CHINA, really a shock)
, are there any recipes that you especially liked?
