Milk cooker - cook in a "water bath"

[OgneLo]

OgneLo, Marina, I had such an aluminum one, I foolishly gave it to someone.

I also have such a Soviet aluminum for 3L, it is more than 30 years old, a rarity. I took it to the dacha. And in the photo her handles are for some reason turned 180 degrees.

may work

will, just water will need to be topped up more often

And in the photo, for some reason, her handles are turned 180 degrees

I was surprised by this too

You can unfold, they are bolted

they are bolted

of course, it was just that someone assembled the wrong thing ...

out of stupidity I gave it to someone

it’s fashionable to get out of hand now! but such "rubbish!" chic went into the wrong hands

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, Vika, I gave it away when there was no tyrnet, about 30 years ago.

[Admin]

I am with the report
Today the first tests of the new device took place.
Everything is fine, mmm.
Poured water into the hole to the eyeballs, poured and measured. It turned out 380 ml.
Poured 280 ml for cooking.
Today I cooked millet - for one part of cereal, 3 parts of water and 1 part of milk, I put a little salt.
It whistled after 5-7 minutes, I won't say for sure, I didn't spot it, but quickly. The whistle did not spit, apparently guessed right with the water.
I poured cereals, mixed once. After about 10 minutes, she mixed up again.
The whole cooking took 20 minutes + 10 stood still.
I liked the process very much. Most importantly, the whistle does not irritate the husband.
Porridge turned out to be the best, ate mango-dates with her jam.
She laid out what she hadn't eaten and poured water for half an hour. Nothing burnt, only a strip of milk remained on the walls.
It turned out a bit too much, I measured it with a multi-glass. At one time, you need to halve the proportions.
And my husband will eat today's leftovers for dinner, I will add sugar to him - eat your beloved

Admin, Tanya, thanks for opening Temka! True, I missed so many years, but better late than never

Girls, thank you all for the developments and for the advice, very useful

[Podmosvichka]

Podmosvichka, Lena, I love my milk cooker with ardent love. There is no need to stand at the stove and watch the escape of the cooked, the porridge does not cool down for a long time after turning it off.
Recently, I cooked a frozen blackcurrant compote: I poured water into a milk cooker, where the compote will be cooked, let the MV whistle, poured the frozen berries, closed the lid and let it whistle again, immediately turned it off and left the compote to infuse.
I'm not even talking about the fact that water must be poured into the hole.

Today is the hour for my Bain-Marie from de Buyer. I made a custard cream (custard base), and then brewed a base for the mushroom test.

That is so cool! How did I ever live without this ingeniously simple, but so cool saucepan?

I already have the third in a row. Used actively, at least 2 times a day: boiled homemade milk, 2-3 times a week, cooked porridge. After 1.5 - 2 years (in this interval), a small hole formed in the outside in the bottom and water flowed out. Mom actively used the milk cooker, often her water boiled away, most likely from overheating a defect in the bottom was formed.
Someone else had this who has been using it for a long time?



Now I looked on the topic, I have been using such a saucepan for 8.5 years! This is thanks to Tatiana-Admin.)
By the way, the displacement of a saucepan is not an internal volume, but an external one.
Cooking porridge is just a pleasure! When you need to cook 200 - 300 ml of porridge, it's funny to use a multicooker, smear it on the bottom.)
The main thing is that it is cooked and nothing escapes.

[Elena]

Elena, Sveta, but it is possible in more detail, otherwise I have been idle for almost a year

[Olya]

Olyawhat exactly interests?

[Lenochka]

what exactly interests

I don't understand how much to pour, why he spits so strangely and how you cook porridge in it,
Lenochka , let me, konda you will be online and I'm at home, I'll try to do it according to the prompts? And then the recipes did not work, as I'm afraid ... she spits hard.

[Olya]

I don't understand how much to pour, why he spits so strangely

Olya, you are pouring too much water into the tank. I read the instructions for mine, and there it was written in capital letters that to pour MAXIMUM 1/4 liter of water into the tank. I poured 250 ml, looked at the water level indicator under the handle. It showed somewhere half the volume of the tank. I started to top up again, probably another 150 ml climbed in. And then it dawned on me that it was not necessary to pour it full, because the water boils in the tank, if it is full, of course it will spit.

I didn't cook porridge, I can't say anything about it. I have another device for porridge.

[zvezda]

zvezda, Olga, pour water, tilt it 45 °, excess water will drain, insert a whistle and boil.

I want Ryzhik, and a milk cooker, and urgently !!!

[Sveta]

Sveta, it doesn't work ... I'll try again, what if it's defective ??

looked at the water level gauge under the handle.

But I don't have this ... I'm on the way, I'll look at home ..

[zvezda Olya]

zvezda Olya, I will not say how much water I pour. I had 3 different ones. I pour it by intuition, I roughly know by weight, there will be enough water for a hundred, I'll chat a little more and for the weight / sound of splashing.) I'm a veteran user of milk cookers. )
Olya, seriously, pour it as advised, if you cook for 10-15 minutes, then 200 ml is enough.
If I cook something longer, millet, for example, I can add a little through the watering line by tilting the pot.
Experience will come. You will definitely fall in love!
I can't live without her for 9 years.)



Ask, we will help.

made a custard cream (custard base), and then brewed a base for the mushroom dough.

Light, but it seems to me that you still interfered in the cooking process or not? I once tried the custard and didn't stir anything and it didn't work out

did you interfere with the cooking process or not?

Of course it interfered, but the process is smoother, better control and less likelihood of boiling eggs. When I become a pro and learn how to regulate the gas under the bath, it will generally be cool.

In general, honey mushrooms do not like baking precisely because of this leapfrog with bowls, pots, mittens, from which the bowls want to pop out. Now it will be easier to part with the waist

I once tried custard

I'm afraid to ask, cream angles?

[Sveta]

Sveta, she's not Angles, but she wanted to cook pudding from a pack. I thought that if the semolina porridge does not need to be constantly interfered, then it will pass here too, but nooo

Ask, we will help.

Thank you, as it happens, I will disassemble and assemble any technique, I know all the MV algorithms of many, but with a saucepan like this for you

My beauty has arrived!

Girls, I also bought a milk cooker at the dawn of my confectionery activity in order to cook Anglese cream, not yet understanding all the processes.
But after all, it is impossible to cook it in it - the cream requires a quick reaction - the temperature is 82 degrees and not a degree higher, otherwise an omelet.
And the iolokovka is a long process, it is still for porridge. And you cannot quickly pull the cream out of it to stop heating.

[Irina F]

Irina FIrochka, I wrote to you that I cook cream and quite quickly take out both cream and chocolate! I especially like to make ganache. I pour half of the water into the container (as little as possible, who are afraid, there will be enough to make the cream). I bring it to the buns and take it off the fire, throw in the chocolate.
I pour out chocolate and cream like this - a pen and a hole with water on top of the drained mass (see photo from Sveta on the previous page) - then the water does not pour out! Of course you need to help yourself with a spatula, I don't see any problem. I mess with chocolate less, and ganache all the time. Well, yes, some accuracy is needed, in the process. The cream is perfectly brewed, but of course you need to stir with a spatula. Cream and pudding always grasps on the sides more, even in a regular bath it is mixed.

[Loksa]

I pour half of the water into the container

Loksa, Ksyu, but in ml you can’t tell how much is it? Or do you look at the scale?

I'm making cream

Straight Anglez? Is there a thermometer somewhere right next to it? Or do you visually and by smell determine?

I pour out chocolate and cream like this - a handle and a hole with water on top of the drained mass

That is, the jet should be strictly under the handle, right? Well, like, 180 degrees, right?

[Loksa]

Loksa, Oksan, yes, I remember, but in Real it seemed to me difficult), it is easier in a regular saucepan.

[Sveta]

Sveta, well, yes, under the handle, under the valve rather! now I am guided by the level. I also pour less than the maximum level for porridge so that I don't spit.
Irina, I now use pasteurized yolks, although I take half a liter of them: but they often remain and are not stored for very long. I decided to make a cream from the remains of the yolk. Sometimes I freeze it. I DO NOT like to heat in the microwave, I love to see.

And we have ganache today.




I love the bath dearly

Take the girls into your ranks. So yesterday I became the owner of this miracle of technology. Tired of constantly scrubbing the porridge from the pan. So on Saturday I will experiment when the children are at home. I have a question about the happy owners of tima. How much water does it get into?

How much water does it fit?

Congratulations on an excellent purchase, let it serve for a long time and please

400 ml fit into my 2 liter of water. everywhere in different ways like

Thanks Pirozhulya? That's why I wrote that I have a Tima milk cooker.

That's why I wrote that I have a Tima milk cooker.

Yes? ...... I didn't see it ....

[Love Yu]

Love Yu, you pour water as much as you like. Then you tilt the pan 45 °, the excess is drained, but the required amount remains.
I also have Tima for 2 liters.

Girls-members of the forum, and who has a 2-liter Teskom, the handle does not burn out there on the gas stove? I want one, but it stops that the handle is plastic ...

the handle does not burn out there on the gas stove?

I have such, though I have not had it for a long time, now I cook porridge in the baby Redike-02. I initially reduced the gas so that the flame was only along the bottom, as recommended, or put it on a small / burner, although it is far from the handle, and when I started to whistle, then you still need to decrease it by the very min, i.e. everything with the handle ok.
Milk cooker - cooking in a "water bath" # 696

In Moscow, Avito offers a completely new de buyer bath for 2000. Nobody needs it?

A question for the owners of milk cookers.
Is it difficult to descale a milk cooker? How do you do it?

No way
Scale itself falls off in pieces sometimes. And if you really want to, then you can fill the lemon inside and leave it. I have the simplest one, it's easy to do it in it.

And I pour water from the osmosis filter inside. It can be said to be distilled. There is no scale at all. And my husband has been boiling water in a teapot for several years for tea, inside the teapot is just a mirror.
I have a different kettle, I'm afraid to drink osmosis water, I filter in a jug, boil. There is scale in my kettle.))

And how to cook buckwheat porridge in a milk cooker for a side dish?
Milk cooker from the USSR.
Proportions.

Probably like in a saucepan, only it will take longer to steam. If you pour hot water right away, quickly
Or is speed not important?

Speed ​​is not important, you want fluffiness and deliciousness.

And how to cook buckwheat porridge in a milk cooker for a side dish?

Honestly, the game is not worth it The amount is small, you will have to wait a long time In a multicooker, the porridge will boil down perfectly in 50-60 minutes (if quickly, then in 30 minutes).

The amount of water is standard: 1.5-2 fingers above the level of raw cereals. You can always open the lid and take a sample for readiness, and add a couple of tbsp. l. water if not ready yet. And you can check the amount of water, just push back the cereal with a spoon and it will be seen whether the water has evaporated or not. In any case, the control is manual.

Honestly, the game is not worth it The amount is small, you will have to wait a long time In a slow cooker, the porridge will boil down perfectly in 50-60 minutes (if quickly, then in 30 minutes).

That is, in a milk cooker, non-dairy buckwheat porridge will cook even longer than in a slow cooker?

That is, in a milk cooker, non-dairy buckwheat porridge will cook even longer than in a slow cooker?

Longer for sure. It is not faster if you just bring it to a boil in a saucepan and leave it under the lid. Milk cooker is not about speed)

[Astilba]

Astilba, the milk cooker is good for milk porridge - they do not burn in it and do not run away. But for buckwheat for a side dish, much less water is needed. Porridge does not boil in a milk cooker. And it turns out that the porridge is ready, but the water has not evaporated.

Porridge does not boil in a milk cooker. And it turns out that the porridge is ready, but the water has not evaporated.

Yes, that's right. There is no boiling (as in a slow cooker), cooking is due to the swelling of the cereal. It's like pouring water over the flakes and leaving them overnight, in the morning the already swollen flakes.

Check out the recipes here: there is buckwheat, pearl barley and others. Milk cooker

I understood everything, thanks!
