Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Pearl barley porridge, it turned out delicious, Peter I's lip was not stupid, he loved to drink and eat deliciously ...
And no fuss, set it down and mind your own business ...

Maybe it's because the interest has cooled down due to a very long cooking process?
Or maybe tired of the taste of them?
I don’t dare, with all my great respect for the correctness and usefulness of this unit - I don’t have enough time in my head to follow it for so long, it’s easy to put it at night, but in the morning I’m not busy before work ... if it were not for the sludge to go to work and would be busy ...

The taste is not tired. But, that's about the same with me: in the morning there is no time to mess around, and in the evening - there is no more strength ...

[julifera]

juliferapoints! I have a little one and a half - everything is prepared very quickly in it, you can not at night. I cook milk porridge or just side dishes. For 3 hours everything is ready.

Hello everyone! Owners of Kenwood - CP 658 and Kenwood - CP 707 tell me what is their fundamental difference ??? just want a large displacement. the most important is the size of the bowl so that a 3kg duck, for example, can easily fit.

658 large (6.5 l) and oval. 706 and 707 - round and smaller displacement. If you expect to cook the whole bird, then take a large one.

where is my little MV?
(you still have to buy a new one ...)

And me!!!!! And we don't have little ones !!!

[Rina]

Rina but what about big metal, but for small ceramics it greatly affects the quality of its work?

Davli why did you decide that the metal has a large, I have a large ceramic.

[Davli]

Davli, slow cookers have a ceramic inner saucepan by definition. The metal is the body (in which the heating element is). The large Kenwood has a black oval saucepan, while the small one has a round white one.

Thank you! sent the order! we will wait for the big one! the price just surprised, so much cheaper in terms of volume ... that's why a question arose about the material ...

707 - electronically controlled and original design. 658 - Standard design and mechanical controls. We have long agreed that mechanical control is often better for MVA.

[julifera]

juliferapoints! I have a little one and a half - everything is prepared very quickly in it, you can not at night. I cook milk porridge or just side dishes. For 3 hours everything is ready.

I will quickly starve to death in 3 hours and then fall asleep, a pressure cooker in most cases - 30 minutes - and a fresh hot dish for dinner
And yesterday's cereals or macaroshes or potatoes don't fit me in any way, only fresh I can.

Congratulations on the backlog in the form of pearl barley porridge from Peter I. himself.
And, could you write more specifically how you cooked this MIRACLE
How many glasses of cereal - how much milk? And mix everything at once with raw milk or put the cereal in the already boiled one? Do you need to salt and sugar immediately?

[rusja]

rusja, I wrote that I was doing according to Pokhlebkin -
🔗

That, I tse zrozumіla
But always, when cooking in specific devices, the recipes are corrected, so I asked. And I still can't imagine - 2 liters of milk per glass of pearl barley, even if it is swollen, it will turn out not porridge, but milk soup. From a slow cooker, practically nothing boils away. Evaporates, yes, but not to the same degree ...

I evaporated, there was milk porridge, not soup ...

I still play around with my DV, haven't written much, but cooked regularly!
We now have jellied meat almost every week





No problems, like it boils hard, the broth is just fabulous, transparent!

I cooked pickle, also super ...before, while the barley is boiled, water was added to the pan, otherwise it boils away.





The experiments continue !!!

Tell me what the simplest jellied meat is in a slow cooker, otherwise I haven't cooked it in a slow cooker yet, and I'm a little afraid that it won't work and I will only translate the products

Aspic recipes

[IRR]

Girls, I have such a thought constantly that I probably need to buy a small slow cooker. Or not ...
Because mine is oval, hefty and heavy. And if you need to cook a little porridge, it is not very convenient to wash it later. Alternatively, I put some water in a bowl and put in a smaller bowl what needs to be cooked, for example, cereal + milk.

For some reason, it seems to me that 1 liter of porridge will cook faster in a small one than in a large / large one with water and a smaller container in water.

IRR, here you have a small one and a big one, then how do you think - do I need or not want a small one?
And how much useful volume is obtained in a small MVA?

Girls, let me remind you that I am considering the option of a very small MVA, if I am not mistaken for 1.5 liters.

I don’t know how 1.5 liters, but 3 liters is a class!
(and when I finish crushing my brother, so that he will repair my castor for me)

[Rina]

Rina , that somehow I do not really want to 3.5. I really like mine at 6.5. Right now, rice cut porridge for 1 liter of milk is being prepared in it. At such moments, I am thinking about a 1.5-liter little baby, at a very reasonable price.

Oh, girls, I would get rid of my MDV Kenwood 6.5 liters! Well, this is not a necessary device in my household.
P.S One to one as in the picture above.

[Margit]

Margit , this is yeah ...
What's not to like? Food or cooking process or all at once?

The soul simply does not lie to her. I also made porridge, baked milk turns out delicious, jam is also good. But all this is only the first time after the purchase, then I did not touch it ... I took the steamer not so long ago, and I use it almost every day. Loose porridges, vegetables, cutlets, everything goes. Who knows, if the family were bigger, a slow cooker might be needed.

I think that it does not depend on how many people are in the family. All the same:

The soul just does not lie to her

As for me, if the family is more than 2 people, then already love needs a slow cooker ... I use ohm for 4L, and this device also prepares itself and does not require constant monitoring ...

Most likely, the matter is in the peculiarities of my kitchen and family preferences.
Maybe it's the size of the pot, but 6.5 liters is a bit too much!
And the slow cooker is too big for my cooking, I had to take a small one, and my husband bought a big one. I cook many different dishes, but little by little, and then it remains

[Margit]

Margit , all right, the point is in the peculiarities of the kitchen, and the preferences of the family. Each housewife tries to make all family members like the food. Personally, I rarely cook dishes that I love alone. I try to find a compromise. Although I easily cook dishes, which I prefer something else.
If I loved the food from the slow cooker alone, I would not bother cooking in it.

[IRR]

IRR, here you have a small one and a big one, then how do you think - do I need or not want a small one?
And how much useful volume is obtained in a small MVA?

Anya! A very useful saucepan for me. There I cook porridge for a side dish and milk for the morning. It boldly fits 1, 200. Sometimes more. It boils very weakly, does not spill. And what a wonderful buckwheat (it will not be said by the night): nyam: it's a pity that the price is the same now. And one feature - it cooks much faster than mine at 3.5. Then the price was ridiculous was 150 grams - why not take? I still have like Julifers - aesthetic pleasure from a ceramic bowl. I'm trudging though it's not Teflon. (I accidentally saw the messages, did not receive notifications. That seems to be how it was noted).

And one feature - it cooks much faster than mine at 3.5.

Thank you, Irochka. This is exactly what I suspected. Eeeh, I would have met me for 150 UAH, I would have taken it. And why did I just buy a big one ...

it's a pity that the price is for her now

Expensive, right? And then I ran to the aukro, and there are none.

Ira, just in case, keep me in mind, but only if it will be inexpensive.

I just had a load of rice porridge, and I thought that if it had been cooked not in 6 hours, but rather, it would be good. But, however, during this time it turns out not just porridge, but porridge with baked milk. And she was ready in an hour so 2.
How long will it be in yours?

PS: Here we are, if anything, there will be three.

Ira, just in case, keep me in mind, but only if it will be inexpensive.

Anya, I already have, but what about, druhh!

And she was ready in an hour so 2.
How long will it be in yours?

if you pour hot milk, then about an hour - I, frankly, just so surely, I do not notice. I like it on ghee, I soar for 4 hours, or even more. I go to bed late, turn it on with cold milk, if someone woke up at night, turn it off, I got it. No, it stands until morning. Pink already!

Cooking time is similar to mine. I pour cold milk, then 2 hours are needed to cook, not yet melted. And if you pour hot, then also an hour. Something in comparison with my current not very big time difference. Maybe the power is different for all our MVs?

Right now I have put 2 pots: one filled with boiling water, wheat groats, and the other a creamy dessert made from cold products. Let's see the result.

By the way, I noticed that the whole bowl "went like a cobweb" outside.

And how much faster is rice cooked in a rice cooker than in a slow cooker? And how different is the result, who tried it?

[Oksana]

Oksana, a rice cooker is an ordinary electric saucepan, the equivalent of a saucepan, which cooks rice from a glass of cereal in about 20 minutes.
A slow cooker is a variation of a ceramic pot in an oven / oven, the rice will cook for a couple of hours.
Here I would try to cook buckwheat according to the cooking option in the oven (these are the same two hours of cooking buckwheat porridge, which "walked" according to cookbooks - thoughtless transfer to the oven technology in the oven). But I can't eat so much buckwheat

[Rinchik,]

And how much faster is rice cooked in a rice cooker than in a slow cooker? And how different is the result, who tried it?

In a rice cooker, it is similar to a gas (electric) stove.

You see, in MV the porridge is all stewed, as it were. And if in milk, then in ghee, if you cook for several hours. (but you can turn it off earlier and there will be regular milk)

If you take MV only for rice porridge, you shouldn't. The rice cooker cooks great rice. She (rice cooker) is his mother.

Rinchik,

And how much faster is rice cooked in a rice cooker than in a slow cooker? And how different is the result, who tried it?

About rice cookers and cooking in them, they will explain everything to you in a qualified manner HERE!!

I found such a tiny 1.5-quart slow cooker in the USA. But what to do with it with us, with our 220V is not clear!

Why look overseas? Here, on a completely aglitsky amazon, 1.5 l

there is a black one, and in a "steel" case is oval.

And this one is generally for one liter
🔗

But this in general, it seems, is a slow-cooker slow cooker (there is a double boiler, and it seems like there is a frying mode) Who will figure it out?

🔗




only now it looks like the saucepan is not ceramic

Look at the Chinese, they had small and beautiful ceramics.

pottery you can roast and steam in?

I suspect this Breville is actually a rice cooker with the shape and functions of a slow cooker.

No, I'm talking about mini-slow cookers .. ordinary ones with a ceramic bowl, I once brought in links, the Chinese may call them a soup cooker.

here is one

Why look overseas? Here, on a completely aglitsky amazon, 1.5 l

Rina , Thank you. The first two are fine. But I didn't understand how much the delivery to Russia will cost ??? Poke me pzhl where you can read it.

I don't know ... the point is that most European traders do not want to contact our countries. It is necessary to look at each individual case, to write off with the supplier, suddenly he will decide on this. Or look for friends who would help.

By the way, all this technique, albeit slowly but surely, is advancing to the east of Europe. A few days ago I bought a rice cooker, which is already going to the Czech Republic and Poland.

Is it easier to order from America? Is there a delivery?

There is a delivery - $ 15 ... But they are there radishes, they do not heat any tension in the pan. I suspect 127V.

But they are there radishes, they do not heat any tension in the pan. I suspect 127V.

maybe 110?

$ 15 is cheap for such a heavy thing.

Maybe it makes sense to delve into European ebays? There is a choice, the technique is most likely under 220-230 V.
