Multicooker Yummy YMC-500

And in Yummy you can make great yogurt without any specials. modes.
Take 1 liter of boiled, preferably homemade milk at room temperature or a little warmer, add 1 can of classic or curd "Activia" yogurt, but without any additives. Stir with a mixer to evenly distribute the starter culture, pour the MB into a saucepan, close the lid and turn on the "Heating" mode for exactly 20 minutes! No less and no more, otherwise it will overheat! Turn it off and leave it for 5 hours in MV. After 5 hours, take out, put in jars and in the refrigerator for 2 hours. I do almost every day for my little ones. For them I miss the stage "refrigerator". When ready, you can add fruits, jam, who likes what, but not earlier, otherwise the yogurt will stratify. Mine said that without everything it is even tastier. And most importantly, it is more useful!

[firefly with]

firefly withThanks for the porridge and yogurt recipe. But my daughter and son-in-law do not buy store yoghurts categorically. The son-in-law makes yogurt with a special ferment. I wanted to give them a yogurt maker on this occasion, but my son-in-law said that he was doing great in a thermos. At first, he did not always succeed in a thermos, then he worked out the technology, bought a food thermos with a wide neck (to make washing more convenient) and now they have no problems with yogurt. In general, my son-in-law is rather conservative in terms of kitchen technology - these are all my ideas, to buy all kinds of kitchen equipment. So my daughter doesn't eat yeast bread now, so how my bread machine and recipes for sourdough bread from the forum help me out.

It is not necessary to use Activia. Any starter can be used: Narine, bifidumbacterin. In this case, MV acts as a thermos. It's just that you can ferment a much larger amount of yogurt in it than, for example, in a yogurt maker. Only the heating time will need to be increased.

About wheat porridge. I tried the following recipe today:
2 m. St. finely ground wheat groats poured 5 m. Art. boiling water, salt, mix. Rice-Porridge mode. When I opened the MV, there was no excess moisture. Turned off and added butter. If after readiness there is excess moisture in the CF, it is necessary to hold it on the "Heating" for another 20 minutes. Bon appetit!

firefly with, cooked wheat porridge according to your proportion - everything turned out great. Thank you!
They also cooked vegetable soup with millet: a little (10 minutes) they fried carrots on baking (it could have been onions there, but my daughter doesn't eat onions), then they put chopped potatoes, some frozen vegetables: broccoli, peppers) and a handful of washed millet, added water to mark 2, salted, put soup on the program (90 minutes, as recommended in the instructions), but when I saw that it was boiling heavily, turned it off and put it on stewing (1 hour by default) - the soup turned out delicious (before at the end of 3-4 minutes, chopped greens were added). And the beetroot was cooked in the same way.
But I had a question, can anyone come across: the Extinguishing program by default gives 1 hour, I can add, but I cannot subtract. It turns out that extinguishing for less than 1 hour cannot be set?

Can only be turned off manually. Some people use a timer socket.

I made wheat porridge on the timer. It turned out great. The proportions are the same. See above

In general, I understood so, but I thought - suddenly I missed some nuance. Nothing, we will compose the technology so that we do not have to reduce the extinguishing.

Nothing, we will compose the technology so that we do not have to reduce the extinguishing.

gavira, extinguishing is the most inactive program in terms of temperature. There it only boils for the first 15-20 minutes (unless, of course, you put 2 spoons), and then it quietly gurgles. So, you usually have to add stewing, and not vice versa.

I pour boiling water or boiling broth into the MV so as not to waste time warming up. Or I first turn on the active modes "Potatoes, Baking, Steamed", and when it boils I transfer to "Stewing"

I did this for the first time - I boiled it in soup, and then an hour on stewing - it seemed to me that a lot. For the second time I decided to stew right away - by default 1 hour, and when I tried it, it seemed that the vegetables needed to be boiled, so I turned on the stewing for the second time, but since 1 hour was already a lot, I wanted to reduce it. As a result, turned off manually, the vegetables in the beetroot turned out to be excellent. Now I understand that you need to boil on potatoes, and then stewing for 1 hour will be enough for any soup.

and then stewing 1 hour will be enough for any soup.

what about soup *? there is just 1 hour ... Quenching is like a program that implies a long cycle rather than a short one. And since the pan is an automatic machine, like, I loaded it, squeezed out the program and forgot. And, of course, you can play, boil on steam - it will be even faster, then put out the stewing, but this is if you are at home and time allows. In general, of course, as it is convenient, so everyone does what is called * for themselves *. This is why these devices are interesting.

In this case, I would still warm up the multicooker for any of the programs (at least half a glass of water would boil), because boiling water gurgle - and the saucepan may be ...
Teflon doesn't like sharp changes.

Well, firstly, I pour boiling water over vegetables, and not into an empty pan, and secondly, for the first time I hear that this can damage the coating.

I didn't want to scare you, but this is written about in almost all instructions for the operation of Teflon-coated products. I foolishly ruined a bucket in my HP - 400 UAH. take out and put. now I am reinsured.

So at first I turned on "Soup on Soup", as in the instructions, but when after 20 minutes I looked in (well, curious about what was happening there, all the more it is not forbidden to open the lid) and saw how much my soup was gurgling, I was scared that in 1 hour, instead of soup, I'll get porridge, so I switched to stewing. Or it was necessary to add water to the soup - not to add to dash 2, but more, taking into account that it will boil a lot.
In general, experiments will continue.

I have another problem: I cook a full pot to the maximum allowable mark, so it only boils on "Soup" for 40 minutes!

So at first I turned on "Soup on Soup", as in the instructions, but when after 20 minutes I looked in (well, curious about what was happening there, all the more it is not forbidden to open the lid) and saw how much my soup gurgles,

yeah, I see. For garlic, this soup mode is also not very strong for me, precisely because of its activity.I put all the soups and borscht on stewing - the algorithm is like that, you pour it in and throw it in (everything is cold) - it boils for 20 minutes, it boils for 7 minutes, the rest of the time languishes, gurgles slightly - you look and an hour has passed. And to reduce, like, nothing and do not have to. (Extinguishing, as a program, I mean).

I have another problem: I cook a full pot to the maximum allowable mark, so it only boils on "Soup" for 40 minutes!

This means that you need to adjust the cooking time, taking into account the volume of liquid - that is, increase it. Of course, there is a difference: boil 2 liters (my usual volume) of soup and 4 liters.
I have not boiled such a volume yet, so there is nothing to compare with, but I think this is a normal time for a multicooker.
By the way, to my surprise I discovered that it boils (fries) more intensively on baked goods than on "steaming". I suppose that if you need to boil quickly, then "baking" will be more effective.

And it seemed to me that "potato" is the most active mode.

I somehow also bypassed her - I must try.
By the way, someone else saw the rationale why, in certain modes, it is necessary to pour liquid, and on others you can bake / fry (that is, do not fill the saucepan tightly). I ask, because I still can't fry the meat for a roast - it just boils in its own juice for 30 minutes, even with the lid open. after all, you need to put it on a preheated frying pan ... what do you think, if you heat the MV on a "potato", you get what I dream of?

I have it too. Only a long time on Baking gives a golden brown crust. Whole chicken, e.g. 80 minutes on Pastry, 40 on each side. Sometimes I cook on stewing, and at the end I turn on the Baking. to brown. I'm afraid to fry on potatoes, so as not to overheat the non-stick coating.

The most interesting thing is that the chicken and its parts (in the skin) are fried perfectly (15/20 minutes on each side on the "baking"), but pork or veal shamelessly lets juice.

I have adapted to cook on stew for 3 hours: I chop meat, onions, salt, pepper, laurel. sheet, 1 tbsp. l. starch or flour, no water. The finished product is very similar to stew. The taste is full-bodied, although not fried. You can give children too.

and detail?
step by step, so to speak ...

Cut the meat into cubes as for 500g goulash, chop 1-2 pieces of onion, salt, spices to taste (I love the mixture of peppers, not ground, but a pinch and 1 piece of bay leaf with peas), 1 tbsp. l. starch - put all this in the MB, stir, close the lid and turn on the "Quenching" mode for 3 hours. Do not add water and oil, everything is prepared in its own juice. Stir 30 - 40 minutes before readiness, taste with salt - if desired.

i.e. is the time already checked? ..
otherwise, on the recommendation of a friend, I roasted a whole piece of pork on boiled pork for 20 minutes. on each side, so in time I noticed the smell of burnt meat ...
Perhaps I did not take into account that she has Panasonic, that is, the modes are less intense.

I have done it many times with pork. I have Yummy 500jr. And I made boiled pork like this:
Grate 800 g of meat with salt, pepper, garlic, vegetable oil, dry mustard and refrigerate overnight. Then the "Baking" mode - 40 minutes, slightly growing. butter on the bottom, put the meat and fry for 20 minutes on each side. Switch to "extinguishing" -2.5 - 3 hours. If you want more ruddy, after the end of stewing, turn on again for Baking for 10 minutes. from every sides.Then remove, cool slightly, wrap tightly in foil or foil and refrigerate overnight. I still do rolls like this. In addition to the above, I sprinkle thin layers of meat from the belly with carrots, twist it tightly with thread and cook using the same technology.

girls, there is no time to re-read the whole Temko ... tell me, are you cooking milk porridge in your cartoon?
a friend bought a yummy, it seems "B", I told her that it would be possible to cook milk on SUPA, but I ran through the last pages, you write that there is a strong boil ...

how to be

[SupercoW]

and skimmed over the last pages, you write that there is a strong boil ...

how to be

oh, it's milk porridge. Well, extinguishing, of course. Only, here I cook with the lid open until it boils approximately, this is, if cold milk, then for 15-20 minutes, then I control it - it boils less, languish, then I slam it shut and do not touch the remaining 40 minutes. You can, if not in a hurry, leave it on heating for half an hour. Usually, everyone is gut. (extinguishing - hour by default, can be added)

SupercoW, Fields, give me a link to the topic, pleated, where you found spare pots on YUMMI, suddenly, who needs it

[SupercoW]

oh, it's milk porridge.

oh, what a pity! I really hoped that everything would be chocolate ... okay, they will adapt.

SupercoW, Fields, give me a link to the topic, pleated, where you found spare pots on YUMMI, suddenly, who needs it

I wanted to first test it for interchangeability with perfezza, and then trumpet ...

oh, what a pity! I really hoped that everything would be chocolate ... okay, they will adapt.

not ... well, not all that bad. I cook all sorts of porridge and strive to just escape the rolled oats and wheat, such as artek. Well, a lot of milk, of course, depends.

In Dax, he also runs into any other, including Panasonic - wiping the lid from the rolled oats in multicooker is our cross and payment for convenience. Another thing is that it is much more convenient to wipe off the removable cover.

Who cares - today a liter of Schodnya milk has boiled on stewing. Turned on for an hour, forgot, came when there was 33 minutes left on the display. The milk boils finely, nothing escapes, the lid is clean.

I also boil milk on the stew. It escaped the first time when the lid was opened - curiosity ruined, and again, when the milk turned out to be "prank".

but please tell me, in the instructions for your cartoon it is written that the saucepan for the cartoon can be washed in pmm? Or maybe, on the contrary, it is strictly prohibited?

PMM is mute, instructions are the same.

Girls, save me. I read about the multicooker, bought a Yummy YMC-500B. But I was very disappointed. Attempts to cook the soup were unsuccessful, because after the food boiled, the stove turned off, a zero appeared on the timer and went into heating mode. I tried to increase the time, all to no avail. The product boils, boils a little (no matter how much time is left until the end of cooking) and is cut down (the signal sounds about the end of cooking). The same story today with the extinguishing regime. I put the fried fish (0.5 kg) into the cartoon, fill it with tomato and put it to stew (the timer was 60 minutes), after 15 minutes the timer is reset and the heating mode is turned on. Maybe someone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong?
A separate story with pilaf. I fried meat with carrots and onions in a cartoon, loaded rice there, poured hot broth, wanted to turn on the porridge mode ... But it was not there. He didn’t meanly turn on (maybe because everything was hot), he had to limit himself to extinguishing.

[Svyatelik]

but please tell me, in the instructions for your cartoon it is written that the saucepan for the cartoon can be washed in pmm? Or maybe, on the contrary, it is strictly prohibited?

Tomorrow I'll be with my daughter, I'll look at the instructions and unsubscribe. For us, this is irrelevant, since no hmm.

Svyatelik, I haven’t come across such "tricks" yet (I deal with MV recently).Does he cook ordinary porridge normally? Did the "Soup" and "Stew" programs initially behave like that? Try calling the service center first.

IMHO - marriage! (n) current to the store is expensive and exchange.

It is better not to wash the saucepan in the PMM. The environment is too aggressive. It is generally better not to wash any non-stick coating in PMM. I ruined an expensive frying pan so bad. Gradually everything began to burn.

Thank you. okay ... take care ...

just in the instructions for my multicooker (perfezza) it says "you can wash in pm".

just bought a replacement bowl from your multi, it fits mine. your bowl will look steeper than mine. So I thought, suddenly it can be washed in the PMM.

Thanks to the girls who answered my call for help. I am still trying to master the multicooker and I hope that this is me stupid, not a multicooker. Now I cook borscht in stewing mode. I put it on for 90 minutes, forty minutes have passed, and thank God the timer does not reset to zero, but the soup mode is still bad. On this basis, the question arises, maybe I pour a lot of liquid because of this violent boiling and the multicooker resets the timer? (liquid does not come out of the restrictions on the saucepan). There seems to be no problem with cereals, and the potato mode also reset the timer after 15 minutes. Perhaps you need to wait for the multicooker to cool completely and only then switch from one mode to another? What about you?

I constantly switch modes from one to another and immediately. No problem. I cook to the eyeballs, to the maximum mark.

[programs]

Regarding my correspondence with the seller Yummi, he answered me that there was a full-fledged baking function, a guarantee and left the phone for communication. They called and agreed to meet on Kholodnaya Gora near Kievsky on Tuesday, there is a warehouse.

Marishenka, I also called Alexey, he readily answered all questions. I was also pleased with the availability of a full-fledged service in Kharkov. In the cartoon there are baked goods, and "mustache and checker" But, according to the seller, there is no upper heating element, even weak, as in Panas, in the lid (for some reason I doubt it, I think he does not know). In all cartoons, it is on baked goods that the upper heating is turned on to "dry" the steam. When you watch a cartoon, turn on baking, check it out. He assured that the models differ only in design, that he said this for a reason, but according to the official representatives of Yummi, they say the processors are the same. But! During the conversation, it turned out that the "seemingly" in the round multitude of the maximum time for EXTINGUISHING is 90 minutes (very little, it will be necessary to reset the mode), and in another, pink one - 12 hours (the time is set in 20 minutes increments). From this it follows that the firmware is definitely NOT the same, they are the same programs - soup, rice, potatoes, stewing, pastries, steam. But there are differences in cooking time and, possibly, temperature. When you choose, take a look. And evaluate the timer - which cartoon will be more convenient. The seller promised to arrange a demo session for the two models.

Good news for Daffi - in Kharkov you can buy a mounted double boiler from Yummi, tomorrow you can check its cost

In all cartoons, it is on baked goods that the upper heating is turned on to "dry" the steam. When you watch a cartoon, turn on baking, check it out.

That is, you want to say that those models that equipped with with the function "Baking" they have a heating element in the lid, in my Perfezze-56 there is no baking mode and there is no heating element, do I understand you? And this should be emphasized. Polinka, does your 58 have top heating?

Alyonushka, thank you for the tips !!! I'll take everything into account!

Hmm .... And try to pour water into the P-56 bowl, turn on XP and do not close the lid. After a short period of time, try the inner side of the lid, it should be hot. And not to heat up from the product being heated, but on its own. Panas has a lid that heats up only on baked goods, there is a low-power "heating pad", but there is. I am almost sure that in Perfezka the lid will heat itself from the inside on baking, XP (55, 57 and 58 models), and on XP and Cooking / Baking in 56, that is, on "hot and dry" modes. It is rather strange that YUMMI does not provide for the use of a top heating element in the BAKING mode. Although, to be honest, I think that the seller is not in the subject. I clarified several times, explained that we were not talking about the case - the top cover (which, of course, does not heat up), but about the inner one. But, Alexey said with conviction that there is only the lower ten.

Girls and boys, hello!
Take a newbie into your ranks. Thank you very much for this Temka, I learned a lot of interesting things.
I have a question. I have been using the cartoons for several days. I mix with the spatulas that come with the kit. Today I looked carefully at the saucepan, no scratches, but there are traces of a spatula. This is normal??? Or should I buy silicone ones, as advised for Panasonic?

Thank you
That is, really, complete spoons do not fit?
And what are the best silicone to take? I just never used them, I don’t know by what principle to choose them ... or maybe wooden ones?

[IRR]

IRR, as an expert on MV Yummi, maybe tell me how different models YUMMY 500B and Yummy YMC-500J differ

According to the seller, "it seems" in the round Yummi the maximum time for EXTINGUISHING is 90 minutes, and in the other, pink - 12 hours (the time is set in 20 minutes increments). From this it follows that the firmware is definitely NOT the same, they are the same programs - soup, rice, potatoes, stewing, pastries, steam. But there are differences in cooking time and, possibly, temperature.

Girls, how do you use the edible potato?

[till 12 o'clock.In 30 minute increments. Time is set in one fell swoop.]

... or maybe wooden?

can! I use. Only now I cannot find a wooden ladle, but I have to collect something. I scoop with plastic, but carefully, I don't scrape along the bottom. There were plastic ladles on the aukro, inexpensive, I will ask Lodzia, Oksana.

, tell me what is the difference between the different models YUMMY 500B and Yummy YMC-500J
Girls, how do you use the edible potato?

the round Bishka has a mode of extinguishing for 90 minutes (or something like that), then add it with a timer. In J-extinguishing till 12 o'clock.In 30 minute increments. Time is set in one fell swoop. The potato is a decent temperature. mode - in the instructions to cook potatoes with water, girls cook without it. It seems like nothing t. T. T.

Alyona, and what I did not understand there in the upper posts - did you discuss whether there is 3-d heating at YUMMI? It may be there - that is, the lid is hot and not only when baking - but this is solely to eliminate condensation, the top of all baked goods must be caught up in ovens or AG in any way. He's white.

There were plastic ladles on the aukro, inexpensive, I will ask Lodzia, Oksana. Inexpensive, like

Plastic or did you describe yourself, silicone? Ask, pzhl.) And then it's a pity the saucepan, all the same at the cost of 1/3 of the unit itself) So I already ruined it?
