Slow Cooker Kitfort KT 205

Girls! Help! How to cook millet (in water with salt) at 205? I want to cook for a side dish.

Will there be a difference in taste or cooking time if the same amount of food is cooked, for example, in a 1.5 liter slow cooker and 3.5 liters?

[Daria]

Daria, will be. Small ones boil faster.

[M @ rtochka]

M @ rtochkaIn 3.5 liters, especially oval, these 1.3 liters (maximum) will simply smear along the bottom (well, 1/3). If I understood correctly about the same amount of food. That is, the porridge will dry by half in a similar time, since the evaporation area is much larger. It is inconvenient for a small amount, does not replace. I have both small and oval 3.5 liters. The second was used 6 times in 4 months. Food for two.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, you and I obviously have different measuring containers). I have a 4.5 liter bowl and nothing in a volume of 1.5 liters smears on the bottom.
On the contrary, I prefer to cook even half a cup of rice in a larger bowl. And the meat too. Better distributed than heap. Even two servings of goulash would be better prepared in a 4.5 liter bowl than hammering to the top 205. Goulash and beef stew in 205 tastes much worse than in 213. IMHO!

It is recommended to fill a slow cooker by 2/3 no more. (I know that many pour it to the top. I just boil the compote and pour it 2-3 cm from the top of the bowl. I will not start other dishes). Therefore, 1.5 liters in a 3.5 liter bowl is quite acceptable.

The slow cooker is recommended to be filled 2/3 no more

This is not because of the taste, but if it starts to boil and foam, it can spill out and get between the bowl and the base. Unlikely because of the side of the bowl, but still. And this is fraught with the fact that it will burn out, short, etc.
When stewing with a semi-thick sauce, I fill the baby somewhere without reaching a couple of centimeters to the edge. Together with the sauce. It turns out divine, because the sauce covers all the meat. And in the big one I don't need so much sauce, so the same amount of meat is left half uncovered. It is necessary either to interfere, or to come to terms with the fact that some protruding parts will not be of a delicate consistency. Well, somehow I have it. And I don't really like it.
If you cook, simmer completely in liquid, it is the same. But I rarely do this.
Therefore, I am sure about myself: it was necessary not to chase electronics, but to confine ourselves to a baby and a 2.5 liter whale. Here it is sometimes needed for pickle soup.

I have polenta corn porridge made from 1 cup of cereal and 4 cups of liquid best in 6.5 L Kenwood. Not a single lump
And at 205 I do less about "eat and then mix it a couple of times

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, I'm comfortable with electronics. But, as they say to each his own.



brendabaker, I have rice and quinoa great in 4.5 liters. At 205 I only cook brown rice, never ordinary there. But again buckwheat only at 205. I do not like the shape of the pot at 205. What I would like to cook for a side dish comes out in a lump. We have to cook at 213. And 205 is idle in the end.
In general, I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I need a 3.5 liter whale. I'm thinking about 212, but 205 is too much for me. I'll give it to my mom most likely. She lives alone and cooks porridge.

NatalyaB, I'm comfortable with electronics. But, as they say to each his own.

Yes, me too, but the size is too big. Now, if 2.5 yes with electronics, then I would run to buy, dropping sneakers. And now I'm thinking.

In general, I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I need a 3.5 liter whale.

Eh, if you were closer, I would change with you. Actually, in thought: buy at 2.5 or the second at 1.5.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, the same story). But I also like the oval shape. Don't throw your slippers at me, but everything is prepared differently in her. It can be in layers and even in one layer, etc. And in 205 everything is in a heap. We did not succeed in love with him. And he is too mad.Boils when cooking, like the devil, as much as the lid jumps.



NatalyaB, about to change. Think about it, do you need it? What are you planning to cook there?



NatalyaB, here are my photos of the bowls (I took a photo in the store when choosing what to take) 206 and 205.
Can help you with a choice. Both pots are in shape on the side.

NatalyaB, about a change. Think about it, do you need it? What are you planning to cook there?

So I have one, I have already studied it. 205th. I cook mainly on weekends - I have 3 of them. From Thursday evening to Sunday. And I put some things in the night, but not all. And sometimes I really want to run 2 at once. Porridge and stewed something.
Of course, a slow cooker helps out, but you can only lay it down and leave with slow cookers. In general, I want a second small one.
----------------------------------
Yes, 206 would be nice. Probably it.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, I can't leave the cartoon either. And all these tales, like mommy went for a walk with the child, and cooks a cartoon ... Sorry, I don’t believe.
And I can easily leave the slow one. Even the maniac 205).

And all these tales, like mommy went for a walk with the child, and cooks a cartoon ... Sorry, I don’t believe.

What kind of confirmation is needed? In a month, 11 years will be my cartoon. And I leave the house and go to bed (which is the same as practical).

And all these fairy tales, like mommy went for a walk with the child, and cooks a cartoon ...

If you can be sure of the quality of the wiring, then why not? And my wiring is old, and the multicooker is with high power, so I'm afraid. Not at night, not in my absence.

[Myrrh]

And all these fairy tales, like mommy went for a walk with the child, and cooks a cartoon ... Sorry, I don’t believe.

Myrrhwhy don't you believe? I have done this many times (I have Panasonic). And I continue to do))

[Miela]

Miela, Myrrh, and I do so often, downloaded the cartoon and left home. And not only a cartoon, but also Shteba's pressure cooker. I'm 10 years old with cartoons for sure. And then she did so.

What kind of confirmation is needed?

How else? MV does it herself. No need to stop the trolls from cooking

And my wiring is old

Byada ... yes, at least at home, be and watch with five eyes .. then only the stove will save.

Byada ... yes, at least be at home and watch with five eyes .. then only the stove will save.

No, well, fuse filters, RCDs, so it's not that bad. But it's still better to be present if something powerful. We don't turn off the refrigerator.
The gas stove is also not such a safe thing.
There is an ambush all around.

But it's still better to be present

LUCHCHe replace the wiring and so with a margin.
Email can work for me. oven, dryer, washer, microwave at the same time.
Thermopot, two heaters and 2 multi do not count. Every connection line was calculated. Think about it. Turn on and leave. The soul doesn't hurt. The house is wooden.

I will not leave the multicooker. I can't, that's all. I won't risk it. I will think that everything is burnt out or stuck. With a slow motion, there are no such fears.

LUCHCHe replace the wiring and so with a margin.

Not in this life.

[Myrrh]

And sometimes I really want to run 2 at once.

Oh yes. I also think about the second small one. I am satisfied with the 205th, probably because I have not tried other options. I would like to try the oval, but, firstly, there is nowhere to put it, and secondly, they are all large for my goals and objectives.
By the way, I saw a Qlive slow (their local brand?) Two-seater with pots of 1.5 liters in Auchan. Pots, unlike whale ones, have four grooves under the lid for steam outlet.

On the pressing question "whether to leave something on when leaving" I can say - I can easily leave the multicooker if something is cooked at a low temperature.

----
Myrrh, I did mashed potatoes at 205m! True, using a slightly different technology - she immediately poured a glass of milk and half a glass of water into the potatoes, so that the potatoes rose a couple of centimeters above the liquid (and put several pieces of butter on top) for a high of 3 hours. The liquid after cooking did not drain, and it kneaded, and I had to add more milk. The husband said, "It's different from the usual one. More potato." Well, in general, yes, this is an accurate characteristic.

I was going to put the millet now, coming home from work, to cook, for the sake of experiment, but someone beat me to it, and now we have a full slow pea soup. Until we eat, I will not cook anything ...

I will not leave the multicooker. I can't, that's all. I won't risk it. I will think that everything is burnt out or stuck. With a slow motion, there are no such fears.

Do you have such a bad model? I always leave both the multicooker and the pressure cooker on. Never burned anything. But I don't leave my little slow. She is very active in me, therefore, only under control

In general, I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I need a 3.5 liter whale. I'm thinking about 212, but 205 is too much for me. I'll give it to my mom most likely. She lives alone and cooks porridge.

Mirra, can you buy a real slow-motion for a change. There are 3.5 liters. I don't know how in stores. Sometimes I see new ones on Avito. ...



I bought my morfushu not unpacked. When I was opened they checked. Gave 2 pieces of the same. They used one. They decided to sell the second one.



Here's about buying a second little slow. I would probably take a second one, of a different size. Suddenly you want to cook something more, there is a choice. Compote, broth, cold. The girls made peperanata from pepper, like I wrote correctly. Summer is ahead. I want to do something with vegetables. I often cook broth in morphush at night. Usually I apply more bones. We have our own farm, giblets and bones need to be put somewhere. Pull it out of the broth, and there it is already half way ... just cook in a small saucepan. me and my husband. So I just started drinking broth. Somehow I didn’t notice this before



And yes, I like oval pots too. But I love my baby for the mess and for being so neat, tiddly. Though smart. You finished me off with your mashed potatoes, tomorrow I'll put the cooking in it. Although I have purchased potatoes, like lemons. It is boiled so that you can not use a crush and not. But I'll try anyway, for comparison

[Miela]

Miela,
Mirra, I bought my 205 a lid with a hole from a frying pan, a diameter of 16 cm suited him well. After that, I have no problems with it, I leave it overnight with peas, or barley, or broth.
I paid attention to how those de Americans cook .... they take a 6.5 liter slow-lick and spread it on the bottom either with lasagne, or ... It is important that there is a sufficiently large layer of hot air on top, then the food will be like baked and disinfected on top.
And I have the most popular pots of 1 liter and 1.5 liters.



I really want an oval slow-motion bottle with electronics, 1.5-2 liters ..
PS I remember about the multitrack when I am sick, my ritual is like this, I lie to myself, and I Redmond cooks me chicken soup
Well, I regularly steam vegetables in it.,
I left myself Redmond 02, it's small and versatile.
I only leave Russell at home, because Keith and Redmond cook so quickly that you can't go anywhere quietly.



Myrrh, and what is the difference between 213 and 212, the Whales have such markings that I get confused about them.

[Kubeba1]

Kubeba1, I also want to cook pea soup today). The only plus for me at 205 is that I can cook a little for myself what my people don't eat.

brendabaker, I also noticed this. I cooked cutlets here at 213 (4.5 liters). Yes, I fried them a little in a pan. But really, they seemed to be baked while they were cooking in a slow dish and peeping out of the gravy. The less liquid, the more the meat is slowly baked on top.



Ofeliya, the model is normal. You can even adjust the temperature from 30 to 180 degrees. She thought she would replace my slow cooker. I was looking for a slow cooker then and thought that this would allow me not to buy it. But in the end +2 slow cookers).
I use cartoon when I cook something, like in a regular saucepan. Like a maniac I walk around and mix it. And with a slow cooker I don't have such a psychosis. I think these are purely my cockroaches.



brendabaker, you need to think about the cover, even if I give my mom 205. I don't think she wants to wake up from the races of the lid at night).



brendabaker, I think that one and a half liters and oval ... will be like a baking dish).I noticed that as the volume decreases in whales, the bottom diameter also decreases. Most likely this was not done in vain.



brendabaker, 213 by 4.5 liters. 212 by 3.5). These are the ones with electronics



In the photo, their difference in size is not so noticeable. In reality, a 3.5 liter bowl is visually much smaller than a 4.5 liter bowl.

Here are 206 by 2.5 liters and 205 by 1.5 liters. You can see how the bottom size and shape change.

[Myrrh]

Myrrh,
Myrrh, I just put 3/4 cup rice and about 1 + 1/3 cup water in Russell. Plus oil, salt, vegeta.
After 1.5 hours I have rice, while a little dry, but rice from rice. I ate a little boiling water, added salt and hold it for another half hour.
In 205, the same thing would have gone into a mess, a large layer of air from above is important







206 I definitely won't take it, because I can't pick up a lid with a hole for its diameter, and without a hole I'm sure that the lid will pop and anger me

[Oksana]

Oksana, exactly! That's why I love cooking rice and quinoa in 213 (4.5 liters). And 205 will turn everything into a lump



Oksana, 206 more. Maybe he won't clap?
Girls who bought the 206? Someone I remember buying. How does it behave?



In general, I understand that we need another slow one). But I'm afraid that my husband will twist his temple).

[Miela]

Then tell me about 212
as you buy. Fidgeting bowls confuse me in oval Whales, I once burned my hand. Russell has wider sides at the bowl, so it always stands level and the lid does not jump, even when the contents are boiling



Miela,
In 2010, my 3.5 liter lid slams so that there is not enough evil, so I only use it for frozen products, like if it cracks, then it's not a pity.
On 4.5 liters, the lid does not clap, but suddenly it will clap in 212, it is also 3.5 liters. ? I'm afraid of this, so as not to buy a 2010 analogue for a lot of money.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana, we already have the owner of 212 here). Trishka!
I'll go to the chat room and ask her how things are with the lid.

205 the same thing would go to hell

and the owners of 205 do not cook rice in it? Only vegetables?
And if you put half the pot? Or is it not real?))

[Daria]

Daria, not worth it. Trust the experimenter). It has only brown rice or, if half a cup of rice, only the usual type of jasmine. But this is for one and a half servings. This is not an option for a family. If you only want to cook one portion for yourself, then it is quite possible

Girls who bought the 206? Someone I remember buying. How does it behave?

I have 206. The lid never slammed. If it boils at the end, then it is very calm.
Yesterday I tormented the beef, the meat was full of the pot, there was a lot of juice, I put it at night, in the morning it quietly gurgled.
But the lid was clean, although the broth was a couple of cm from the edge.
She cooked porridge, vegetables for borscht, various meat, simmered milk, baked potatoes. All right.

[Marina]

Marina, and put meat on low or on high for the night? And the recipe, pliiiz).

and the owners of 205 do not cook rice in it? Only vegetables?

As an owner: I use 205 only for what he is a Master in: lazy vegetables for the night, simmering in a sauce of different meat, one that does not work well in a slow cooker. For example, a rabbit. And milk porridge. More stuffed vegetables a la dolma made from vegetables (regular dolma should be great too, but haven't cooked it yet). In general, what is best to languish non-aggressively for a long time. At night - using a timer socket. Somehow nothing burns, the lid "dances" quite a bit and quietly.
And for all that, sometimes one pot is not enough for me.
Rice, buckwheat, etc. without milk, a multicooker cooks for me in 15-20 minutes without any problems. But she does not succeed in porridge and languor. Although less problematic chicken, turkey and minced meat, the multicooker stews great.
In general, each device has its own.

[Myrrh]

Myrrh, duck what's the recipe? I greased the pot with butter and threw the beef in large chunks, as it turned out during cutting, about 12 * 8 * 8 cm. I peppered the meat and smeared it with the rest of the butter. I switched it on high and went to sleep. In the morning I checked it and added salt to the broth, held it for a little low, although it could have been just turned off.
It was cooked for 10 hours. Mine really liked it.

and the owners 205

my mom in her 205 cooks - meat and vegetable soup, milk porridge oats, rice, millet, buckwheat - she doesn’t like steep porridge, just potatoes and boneless loin on top, or chicken, stewed fresh cabbage in butter.
In general, she is preparing - I have already figured out and remembered (88 years old) that there are 2 modes, for MIN milk, for MAKS everything else and I am glad that it does not take so long to prepare for MAKS, i.e. having loaded it early in the morning, everything is ready for dinner for sure, it will also stand turned off, and it will be done.

The saucepan is the simplest - in a month or two the hostess will fully learn how she prepares different products, nothing complicated.

As for rice, it is better to cook it first for a MINUTE to find out the characters of both rice and Kita with rice)) you can always add temperature.
It depends on what kind of rice you need in the end - crumbly or smudged, what kind of rice you bought.
Well, how can you give unequivocal advice about rice - there is a lot of rice today, everyone is preparing differently.

and the owners of 205 do not cook rice in it? Only vegetables?
And if you put half the pot? Or is it not real?))

I cook, but it's milk porridge, that's why it's good that it swells) I left the milk for the night - I had to get up and move the lid a little so that there was air outlet. Carcass meat. I cook the peas. For crumbly porridge, I have a slow cooker.

Girls. And all of it boils milk porridge! For min? How long?

And all of it boils milk porridge!

Because it's delicious!
The time depends on the cereal and the quantity. Well, and to whom as: someone does not like a smear, someone melted, as if from a stove. Therefore, pick you up. 3 to 5 hours. If the grain has a hard shell, then longer. An hour and a half on Mach, then on Min, is my method for millet, millet + rice, crushed spelled and bulgur.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, and spelled and bulgur also on milk?

[Irgata]

IrgataI tried to cook at 205 jasmine, basmati, laser and brown. I'm addicted to rice. I always have 7-8 varieties at home.
Of all the above, only brown suited me. Jasmine only if cooked in one serving. And there it is necessary to get confused. Warm up a pot of water until subtle bubbles begin to appear at the bottom of the bowl. Then add rice and cook on HIGH... Cooking time depends on the variety (approximately doubles) and for each has its own troubles.

NatalyaB, are spelled and bulgur also on milk?

Yes. Only milk porridge. Side dishes on the water - this multicooker does great, and fast. But milk porridge is not. Well, of course, my slow cooker, I will not say for others.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, thanks, I see.
I never tasted dairy, neither spelled nor bulgur, that's why I asked. Do they swell slowly?
In my opinion, a slow cooker for viscous cereals, for hard cereals, so that they swell when languishing.
A crumbly side dish - for quick cooking.

Of all the above, only brown suited me

Brown rice takes a long time to cook, so probably only it turned out.

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, oh, spelled swells very much, absorbs liquids 1 to 10 by volume, while a semi-liquid porridge is obtained, which, with a little cooling, everything thickens and thickens. Delicate. A very profitable porridge, not in vain Balda demanded it from the priest - satisfying. But I cook crushed cereals, I was afraid whole.
And bulgur, it seemed to me like rice, well, maybe a little more liquid, has not yet gathered statistics. (For porridge, I have Arborio rice, if that)

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, lured, I must try to cook, I have crushed spelled.

Delicious and tender! Although I cook in a cartoon
Often I make spelled in half with corn, good too!

And I put the cabbage soup at 205 to try it, bring it to a boil on Hai, and then overnight on YaLou.
I cooked all the products by eye.
At the bottom, a couple of teaspoons of butter and vegetable oil, finely chopped onion, a layer of sauerkraut on top, a couple of peppercorns and a little piece of lavrushka. Top with a layer of fresh cabbage and a little salt. In the center I stuck 100 g of turkey breast fillets from the freezer. In the morning I saw that there were no potatoes in the cabbage soup ..

The cabbage soup is ready and is already halfway down.

The first impression: the volume is mine, on my 4 servings, it is inexpensive for the money, it is not difficult to carry food., So I will still cook.
I cooked for 3.5 hours on Hai, then another 6 hours on LOU and stood for 7 hours in the off bowl

Next time I will try to cook for 4.5 hours on Hai, and then leave it on the heat.

To my non-meat-eating taste, I liked the option with turkey breast fillet, I slightly digested the cabbage in the night, the broth is transparent, the vegetable oil was too much. ?? And I liked the meat itself, although I usually give the cat from the soup
As for the scents, we didn't get enough sleep, everyone, including the cat, smelled awful * until I turned off the device


PS another time put the same set of products for the night in Low's mode and the next morning she got a nasty sourness with uncooked potatoes and the taste of meat will be lost. Products without a little boil did not want to make friends. Everything is out, it's good that the volume is small

everyone did not get enough sleep, including the cat

By the way, on Yandex. Market 205 is out of stock

And I have a different result. Damn, like with borsch). It seems that the ingredients are the same (almost), but the result is always different. We all sentenced cabbage soup). This is the last plate for my husband's first dinner). No filters or photoshop. Sorry.



I expected fainting from the smells, but they did not follow. The cabbage soup is sooooo delicious. But the smells did not bother). Thanks to the open window in the kitchen).

Cooked at 213. 4.5 liters. Just over half a bowl. The total cooking time is 7-8 hours.
I wouldn't be at 205. Not the right size for this dish.
Initially, I did not understand what the girls were cooking in. Excuse me.
