Milk cooker - cooking in a "water bath"

[Taia]

Taia, I wrote, everything that I watched. Well, I have not seen absolutely everything that they produce. In our stores, they are. We do not have Tescoma for sale. Rondel dishes are presented, but there are no milk cookers. And I wrote that it is not water that boils away, but milk, which is higher than water. Why are you so then ... I come to you with grief ...

[Natasha]

Natasha, what are you right ... I didn't mean to offend you.
I mean, after reading about your disappointment, everyone will decide what milk cookers are. But in reality, you have a bad choice.
And I just looked at Röndel in Russian stores, it costs about 2 thousand.

In general, I advise you to pay attention to the spout where the water is poured so that it is higher. So as not to be disappointed.

Oksana, but it is possible in proportions - how much of what

I took the proportions approximately from the recipe, which was offered here in the section. I had 3.75 glasses of milk, and 0.25 glasses of water (I was afraid that little porridge would come out) and for this amount about 1 tbsp. rice for porridge. brought a water bath with milk to a boil, added sugar, mixed salt, added porridge, mixed again, closed the lid. waited for the bath to boil again, reduced the heat and left it to languish for 30 minutes. Min after 10 went to check and mixed a bit, since all my rice floated up with a cap and stuck together. after 30 minutes the rice was ready, but the milk turned out to be too much, I poured the excess milk into a mug, left it so that a little rice was covered only. and left it on the off stove under the lid for another 10 minutes.
in the end, a large plate of porridge came out for her husband and a small one for his son, that's what you need
yes, the porridge is moderately thick, very beautiful, I even wanted to take a picture and show it, but I thought it was already passed and not interesting)
if not for the excess milk drained. would be more liquid

All the girls, I don't want a slow cooker anymore, I used to want to, as it was steaming long porridges to cook

well, if you do not take into account the concept of where is tastier ... this moment is purely subjective ... cooking porridge in a cartoon is 100 times easier and easier ... we cook everything except semolina, ... there is no solid semolina in the city .... but we don't like the soft ones. We cook on a timer - in the morning, cook without a timer in the morning ... everything is just outrageously well, this is again IMHO

And the slow cooker is sooo cool all there is a piece, and not only for cereals. With the acquisition of multi, my life in the kitchen was literally divided into BEFORE and AFTER.

I don’t guess that the cartoon is not only for cereals, but I had an interest in it from this side. only the dimensions and electricity stopped. maybe if there was an electric stove at home, I would have bought it long ago. and the kitchen will be occupied by a dough mixer, it will be more use to me)

[all]

well, if you do not take into account the concept of where is tastier ... this moment is purely subjective ...

But allwhoever tried to cook porridge in a milk cooker here said that it turns out much tastier than in a slow cooker .. Or rather, everyone chooses what is preferable to him - easier or tastier ... Well, the volume of the finished product, if I need porridge for 0.5 liters of milk, then in the cartoon it will only smear along the bottom ...

Well, the volume of the finished product, if I need porridge for 0.5 liters of milk, then in the cartoon it will only smear along the bottom ...

I have a Panasonic 10 .... we cook rice porridge for two adults just for 0.5 liters, though in the proportion of 250 ml of water + 250 ml of milk and 1/2 multi-glass of rice .... it turns out that 2 healthy portions of porridge are enough for me and my wife too

[all]

But allwho here tried to cook porridge in a milk cooker, said that it turns out much tastier than in a slow cooker ..

Yes, everyone chooses according to their taste.
But, porridge cooked by the method of quiet, not boiling boiling, by the method of swelling of cereals, is much tastier - people say correctly.

I can say this, because I am expressing my opinion not one-sidedly, but having experience of cooking porridge both in a multicooker and in a milk cooker Multicooker boils porridge well, but aggressively.

[Tatyana]

I can say this, because I am expressing my opinion not one-sidedly, but having experience of cooking porridge both in a multicooker and in a milk cooker Multicooker boils porridge well, but aggressively.

Tatyana, similarly

I made whole grain oatmeal today. Cook of course longer than just in a saucepan. There I boil it for 15 minutes. Here 40 went. But the porridge came out good. Even the son ate everything she gave. Usually leaves always. I also ate a couple of spoons, but the younger one answered me with colic afterwards, so all the same I should still eat milk

[water bath - for baking ingredients]

Kind time of the day.
I read the topic from the very beginning.
I have not mastered all the pages yet.
For cereals - the optimal volume is 1.5 liters.
What is the optimal volume for water bath - for baking ingredients?
Like - chocolate, melt butter (often found in recipes). Is 1.5L convenient? Or do you need to buy 0.8 liters?
Thank you.

for a water bath - for baking ingredients?

Ask a question in the CONFECTIONERS section.

As far as I know, for a chocolate confectioner, a water bath should involve an air gap between a bowl of water and a bowl of chocolate, that is, a "steam" water bath so that the bottom of the bowl with the product does not come into direct contact with water.
This does not happen in a milk cooker. Between the two metal bottoms there is hot water, direct contact, which is not good for a water bath for chocolate.

I want to note that a 1.5 liter milk cooker is the external volume, so to speak, and the internal volume is slightly more than 1 liter (I did not measure it exactly).
A 2 liter milk cooker has an internal volume of 1.5 liters and then just to the top.

for a confectioner or chocolate, a water bath should include an air gap between a bowl of water and a bowl of chocolate, ie, a "steam" water bath so that the bottom of the bowl with the product does not come into direct contact with water.

Right to the point!
You can't do that in a milk cooker.

Search yuzal, I did not find a suitable topic, I ask here:
Bath for a pastry chef - made from a saucepan (ladle) + a bowl on top.

Dishes with chocolate should be wider in size than a saucepan of water, because steam should not be allowed to get on the product, otherwise the chocolate will lose its viscosity and consistency, and as a result will not solidify.
How long did it take to figure out how to insert a larger dish into a smaller one? Just like Winnie the Pooh with a ball ...
Then, I found a video, I saw ...
Suggest a "set" pot + bowl (larger), so that they blend without gaps.
Thank you

PS Or poke your nose - into the discussion of those

We have a large section for confectioners, I recommend asking this question there: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&board=415.0

And I managed to set fire to my brand new milk cooker in the process of mastering. I removed the whistle, because it’s not a whistle, but a siren for the whole house in my saucepan, well, I didn’t pour enough water, the result is a burnt bottom from the outside. I can't wipe it off! Can someone tell me a way to wash the saucepan, with whom the same misfortune happened? I don’t understand, by the way, why it’s not washed, all my stainless steel pots are easy to clean and once again, if suddenly such a misfortune.
P.S And the porridge in it is really excellent!

I want to go to the bathhouse ... I mean - make a water bath, for melting chocolate, butter, etc.
I counted on the Milk Cooker, however, here they explained to me that it was not suitable for this, there was no air gap between the second pan.
You need to assemble the kit from 2 pots.
Sent ... to the section of confectioners in general. They don't answer there yet, but the products are waiting for the bathhouse ...
Please tell me if they are suitable for a bath, with an upper tank - a Bucket with a Triple heat distribution bottom, like this one (link so that the post does not duplicate):
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=28417.0
Will be heated by water / steam? The bottom is thick.
In some recipes, after melting, add other ingredients, then on gas, cook until thickened.
For this, the Ladle will definitely fit, but will it be possible to melt it in it?
Thank you

What are we doing the problem from scratch?
Take the most ordinary pan, ladle and so on ...:
- pour 0.5-0.7 liters of water into it
- put on fire, heat the water to a hot state,
- put the most ordinary glass-metal bowl on top (glass is better)
- there must be air space between the water and the bottom of the bowl
- put the chocolate and melt it, stirring occasionally with a plastic or wood spatula.

ALL! It won't take too much time, the process is fast.

Take the most ordinary saucepan, ladle, and so on ...

That is, if they are, and if they are not, you need to buy, we sit and ask ...
I am settling in a new place, if it is not clear.
The rest, according to your list, has been studied and selected for purchase.
There are glass bowls, heat-resistant, the bath in them is inconvenient. How to pour without a handle?
A ladle is what you need, however, the bottom is not semicircular.
The set, picked up, the question is the Triple heat-distributing bottom, will it warm up in the bath?

Take the most ordinary saucepan ...
"Usual" is what displacement, 2.5 liters, I guess.
Thank you

[Seeker]

Seeker - (corresponding NIK) - try, try, select - and everything will work out!
I described the algorithm of actions above

This is how my chocolate is heated (first photo). On the second - a scoop with a regular enamel bowl. In this device, I regularly melt honey and butter for honey cakes. In my opinion, no special devices are needed, in any house you can find something like that, the main thing is that there are no shelves between the walls of the containers, so that steam does not escape out. As Lelik said in the famous film, "cheap, convenient and practical." )))

[the main thing is that there are no gaps between the walls of the containers, so that steam does not escape out.]

the main thing is that there are no gaps between the walls of the containers, so that steam does not escape out.
Wonderful.
Some famous manufacturers have a bathhouse - a small capacity floats in a larger one, like a boat.
Cheating, not a bath, and even not cheap.

Of the correct ones, found this
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=28417.0
However, not cheap.
It is unclear what the bottom of the upper bowl looks like. I did not find any reviews.

[Iskatel-X]

Iskatel-X, well, there are different baths. If one container is floating in another, then this is a water bath, like an analogue of a milk cooker. And there are steam baths, where one container stands in another, but does not touch the bottom of the water.

[Mona1]

Mona1
I have a dish - there is a queue at the Bathhouse ...
Until I settled on a suitable one.
There is absolutely nothing to make at home. And to buy - the choice is not great.
I want a useful device!
The milk cooker, unfortunately, is "of the wrong system" ...

"Luxurious" option - a semicircular ladle + Saucepan of a smaller diameter.
In search of.
Poke your nose into the finished solution.
Thank you.

I want to go to the bathhouse ... I mean - make a water bath, for melting chocolate, butter, etc.

For the above products, it is quite possible to get by with a microwave.

Girls, read the last few pages and got a little confused
I need a small milk cooker, about 1 liter of usable volume.
I looked at the pictures - all modern ones have a hole approximately in the middle, but it seems inconvenient to me, I suppose that the higher, the more convenient.
I have already given my Soviet for 3 liters, now I'm looking for a smaller one.
I ask you for advice on which one to pay attention to - so that not all the money is spent and not be disappointed in the purchase

Olya, you need to take a 1.5 liter one, 1 liter fits into it, well, or 2, it may even be better, more water will fit between the walls, it will work longer without refilling. in general, when you choose, read what is written there, how much water you can pour between the walls. Here they write that 300 g and half a liter in two liters. And in my cheap 1.5 L volume, only 100 g (but I shove 120). If more, then boiling water spits from the whistle when it boils. Little water means it will boil away faster. And if you cook something for a long time, you need to add it.For me, fortunately, all cooking is limited to a maximum of half an hour - boil flakes or cocoa. So 100 g is enough for me. But if I took it now, I wouldn't take mine.
In my hole - about a third from the top in height. The height of the milk cooker is 14 cm (but when the lid sits there, it goes deep inside and it turns out 13 cm, and from the bottom there is a whistle at a height of 10 cm.

Thank you, Tanechka. And what is yours, so as not to take?
Is the volume in it you don't like small or don't you like the whistle too low? There are no other disadvantages? Judging by the amount of water poured into there, the internal volume is small, probably the walls are too close, right?

Yes, in a thin layer, it turns out, the water is there between the walls, and besides the fact that for a short time it is enough to cook, but the cream was made custard, it was stuck to the bottom, although there was water, but it was the thin layer that did not save the burner from the heat, but how this should not be. I'll write the name tomorrow, the box is in the bedroom, and there my husband is asleep, I don't want to make noise, look.

Okay, Tanyusha, I'm in no hurry

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, and there are also milk cookers with a bottom suitable for induction. I want this

[selenа]

selenа, Nadyusha, I do not need it for induction yet, but if there is a normal model, then why not take such

[Olga]

Olga, I have a Rendel milk cooker. It is 1.5 liters, but it actually holds 1 liter. There, 300 ml of water is poured into the wall, enough for a long time.

Thank you, Tomochka, now I'll see what kind of animal ...

And in my Teskomovskaya, I only boiled milk once and ... and sent it to the pantry ...

Didn't go ... apparently not mine ...

I need a small milk cooker, about 1 liter of usable volume.

And this one? True, in German ibey .. 14 euros the price of the issue (I have such) 1.5 L stainless steel.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, Ol, here's a box from both sides.

I have 2 milk cookers, at home and in the country, there is something to compare. Home heavy, firm Beka, she is 15 years old, and bought a summer cottage about a year ago in SiteMarila, she is light and in addition the whistle from her has already been lost. So, a hundred times I regretted that I bought the second one, it seems to me to be some kind of toy ... It is impossible to lose the whistle of the first one, it cannot be removed, but it is in the handle, like the water level indicator. So, girls, I would advise you to pay attention to the weight of the saucepan and especially to the design of the whistle. The water level indicator, however, will not be superfluous either.

on the design of the whistle.

My whistle is screwed on .. it is impossible to lose it ..

[Galina]

Galina, that's another matter. In my summer cottage he just puts on, although, now he hopes

In my summer cottage just put on

My mother also dresses, and with strong boiling it just flies off ... The Soviet milk cooker .. The eternal problem "Don't lose the whistle" ...

And in my Teskomovskaya, I only boiled milk once and ... and sent it to the pantry ...

Didn't go ... apparently not mine ...

It's high time to dispossess your closet.
There is already a lot of everything, even a lot.

There is already a lot of everything, even a lot

You knew !!!

And there is not enough, and just used one at a time ...

I would definitely sell half ... I don't know how ...

What is there to be able to do?
Over there, in the Flea market, trade is active.
Do not be shy.

[Taichka]

Taichka, for me the biggest difficulty is to determine the price, a lot has been bought for so long that I can't even remember the approximate price ...

I already have a whole list of toys) that I would part with without regret) ...

I am very sorry for the flood ... I will no longer ...

[Crochet]

Girls, many thanks to everyone who responded!

Crochet, Inna, Down and Out trouble started!
Let's try to start with a milk cooker.
How much volume do you have? And on what conditions are you ready to free up some space from it in your closet?
In the meantime, you will fish out a milk cooker from the bowels of the pantry, and in parallel, compile a list of all the other stagnant animals that you urgently need to send into good hands.
By the way, I also recently dismantled one of the shelves in the cabinet and found there a Soviet milk cooker for 3 liters, and then just one of the girls in the flea market asked for one. I gave it! Why should she gather dust at me if someone needs her!

gawala, Galina, thanks, I'll also see your little thing. Are you happy with her?

YaTatiana, TatyanaApparently, you like your Bekosha.Can you tell me the model? Perhaps they or their analogues are still being produced.

Mona1, Tanya, I realized that it's better not to take one like yours.

Are you happy with her?

Highly...

[she is without a whistle]

Olya, today in the Metro I saw the milk cooker of my dreams, she is without a whistle, with a sandwich bottom, suitable for induction, water is poured into the handle, there is a water level window (like in a kettle), well, in short, it costs 3600 rubles, I was ready for 2 thousand, but 3600

[Olga]

Olga, no, I won't say the model, so many years have passed ... But I like it very much! The description is similar to the one about which Nadezhda speaks.
