"Master pilaf" Tefal FR-4013

tell me, when frying, does the oil sprinkle on the sides or behave calmly?

Colleagues! I am jumping from branch to branch in the hope of collecting as much information as possible. I already found a cauldron for sale, I'm going to buy it tomorrow. I want not to be mistaken in hysterics. The opinion was expressed that in the Master pilaf, perhaps in a single specimen, there is an uneven heating of the bottom: it warms up well around the perimeter and badly in the middle. Has anyone else encountered this? And another question. Based on the picture in the instructions, the filter needs to be changed after 10 uses. So? Where to get new filters? Is it available? I really look forward to your answers! ...

Available, ask at the store, you can make it yourself from thin foam rubber.
I bought an extra in the store.

The bottom, like all such pots, is also afraid of being scratched, you need to be careful, adjust the bottom with heating power.

And I just washed the filter and dried it, but I didn't think to change it.
At the expense of heating the bottom, it may not be very uniform, but I did not feel it much, but it fries more at the edges, but the middle is also fried.

[alla]

I haven’t changed the filter either, although I have had Master-pilaf for about six months. I get along quite old.
In "Master-pilaf" I do not cook cutlets, cheesecakes and other "trifles", because the device is very powerful and it is better to load it with a lot of products.
I like to fry potatoes, kebabs in it, make pilaf, boiled pork, stew cabbage, cook soup. Due to the fast, powerful heating, food cooks very quickly. It is convenient that there is "heating".
I did not pay much attention to the uniformity of heating. It's just that when you load a large number of products, it is invisible.

tell me, when frying, does the oil sprinkle on the sides or behave calmly?

alla, oil splashes during frying. But the bowl has high sides and you can use a lid. This device differs from a simple frying pan in that you can easily fry in it under the lid, the food does not get wet.

Thank you, Yana, for the answer.
You can immediately ask the second question: can you remove the bowl to wash it? Or drag the wash along with the unit ?, I read the entire thread, but did not find an answer, maybe I missed it.

The bowl can be pulled out and washed separately, it can be washed in the dishwasher.

Lika, please conduct tests with pasties sooner! What model do you have?

Delonghi F 895

By the way, after reading about Master pilaf, I am also a candidate for departure ...

In my opinion, it is not a very successful replacement for a deep fryer, if a deep fryer is needed. There is a frying pan lid and no filters. Just a frying pan with modes ..... There was an idea to buy it, but I turned it over in my hands and put it on, it's kind of flimsy, and I can set the cooking time on a simple stove with a timer to turn off (1 burner has such a function).
I do pilaf and fry potatoes mainly in multicooker, the deep fryer is used only for holidays and for guests (for which I bought it), when the question of the usefulness of dishes fades into the background and everyone wants a fried crust

Lika why there is a filter in the Master-swim, you mean you didn't look at it well.

Lika why there is a filter in the Master-swim, you mean you did not consider it well.

Maybe it's somehow built into the lid, I don't know. I didn't notice, I won't argue. In any case, the lid does not close tightly, and this is important when deep-fried. More smoke and steam comes out from the oil. I really hate this smell.

[alla]

alla, I wash the bowl as follows.After cooking, fill the bowl with water, turn on the device at full power and bring it to a boil. Then I turn it off and leave it until it cools down. If something is fried, then so on. everything gets wet. I pour out the cooled water, and put the bowl in the PMM.

Hostesses, does anyone have experience with a multicooker? What are the main differences? Can Master pilaf be considered as an alternative to multi? We have no multicooker on sale now, but there is a Master, so, if there is no particular difference, I think, take this device!

[Selina,]

Selina,Master pilaf was originally announced as a deep fryer, in general. The main function is frying. Bonus - you can use less oil than in a conventional deep fryer. He, apparently, will not replace a multicooker. He is a cauldron In a multicooker you can cook porridge, cereals for a side dish, bake biscuits, casseroles, cook soups, cook small amounts of steam ... Well, you yourself know all this, since you are looking for a multicooker. I was also a little poked about the Master Pilaf. And then she looked at him closely, and even got sick.

Freken Bok, thank you very much! I, somewhere in my soul thought so. We continue our search for a multicooker!

The other day I bought Master Pilaf, tell me when you wash the lid from it, you need to remove the filter and timer from it (something is somehow badly removed). Thank you.

Irene, I take off everything, gently squeeze the antennae on the filter cover and everything works out. I took off the timer and don't use it. Master pilaf is not a slow cooker. you won't get far from it, that's why I drop in and stir. and top up if necessary.

Irene when I take off my lid. At first, I was also bad at removing the filter, and then I got used to it, and the timer works well for me.

Girls!
"Master Pilaf" is now on sale at a special price, just over 3,000 rubles. Who needs it, look at the techHome online store.

[Yana]

I saw Master-pilaf in the store today, touched it, turned it around .... did not buy it. So I sit and re-read the topic, I try to bite my elbow, I’m about to succeed
Tell me Yana, is it really faster to cook in it than in a cauldron? And if it's not so hot in the kitchen, then I'm already thinking ...
- - - - - - -
All! Voprs "disappeared". Half the night I read and looked at the pictures, and in the morning I went and bought them. Take in your ranks, I am also the owner of this miracle - a kazanchik!
At the same time, my first Bigus is being prepared, and I interfere with him, all the time I want to look in ...

[Viki]

Viki , from myself and from other users of "Master-Plov", congratulations on your purchase!
Bigus turned out great!
I think this device will not disappoint you. Everything turns out quickly and tasty in it. Now you will see for yourself. Vegetable dishes are a fairy tale there! The stew melts in your mouth!

For tomorrow I have stocked up with chicken, peppers, meat and cabbage and I will master new cooking options.

Good luck learning new recipes!

I confess that in the store Master-pilaf did not cause me emotions, and even more so instructions and recipes in pictures like "guess what it is and how to cook it."

Yes, indeed, until you yourself get acquainted with the "Master-pilaf", it is difficult to imagine what kind of device it is.

Viki , I have now started to master recipes for the oven. They are very good at "Master Pilaf". And most importantly, quickly and the oven does not need to be preheated.

: red: Sorry, I haven't been on the Internet for a long time, but in my soul I am always with you, my dear mistresses!
Yesterday I was grilling a kebab on skewers.
Everything went well.
The meat was pork, classic marinade (Onion + vinegar and spices, salt)
Fried for 5 minutes on each side.
The husband was delighted, the kebab for 10 minutes and the TV.
In vain, I probably did everything, now I can’t persuade him with the fire anymore. But I have Master Pilaf !!!
So you are! We'll wait with the photo for now, the camera on the phone is modest, I ordered a smartphone for my birthday, I'll shower you with pictures. Until then, bye!
You need to work, earn.
Always yours Anzhik.

Forum users !!! We do not have such a wonderful beast for sale, after reading you I went around the shops and Natu. But after thinking for a long time, a question arose.Is it possible to adapt the deep fryer as a master pilaf? Nobody did that? This is if it (a deep fryer) with a removable bowl and there is no such thing as a switch after a given mode. She is also in the body and the spiral is below. Or do I want to wishful thinking? I can’t try to cook, because I don’t have a deep fryer yet :)) I just walk around, I think, and such an idea came. Buy a deep fryer similar to your Tefal, when you need it to be a deep fat fryer, and as a master pilaf to use. How is it?

tatalija a deep fryer is one thing, but a master pilaf is another, because in a deep fryer you cannot put on stewing and frying, in a deep fryer there is a different temperature regime. Maybe I did not explain correctly, but I have a separate deep fat fryer and in it I could not do what I do in the master pilaf.

I understand that there are no miracles. But I just returned to my computer, and drove into a couple of stores, already on the topic of deep fryers. So there are many models, but there is a Phillips that I think can meet the requirements. The cauldron is non-stick, removable, and of course the temperature range is from 90 to 190 degrees. I don't like the price yet. There are, of course, other models where the container is not removable, in some the heating coil is bathed in oil at all, here I agree. I know that such a multifunctional gadget as Mulihoter is being sold in Russia, we don't have it either, but I think the principle of operation is the same. I just also want to have such a semblance as a master pilaf

I just also want to have such a semblance as a master pilaf

The semblance of a master pilaf is a large frying pan on the stove. The deep fryer is a completely different shape.

tatalija, and if you look in the online store.
A rustic stove at the expense of a large frying pan on the stove, I do not agree with YOU.

And I very much agree with the Village Stove! Even in a frying pan and in the oven, as a last resort, I do everything better, this was in the Master-pilaf. But this is IMHO.

Why? The deep fat fryer cannot replace master pilaf due to its shape. The deep fryer is a BOWL. And the master pilaf is much flatter. Closer to a skillet (pan) with high edges.
I meant exactly the form.

About online stores already passed. After reading about your Panasonic (multicooker), I ordered VEEM in Germany, its analog, I'm still waiting, a month has passed. I'm afraid that my ardor will pass when I have it. And why am I clinging to the deep fryer, having looked after Phillips today, he is square himself and his interior is also not so high. I just analyzed that if some models have fundu, then the very principle of extinguishing is there. And since the bowl is removable, it can also be like a master pilaf. After all, there is deep fat in the master pilaf, so why the cauldron function cannot be in the deep fat fryer? And there it is written in the annotation of a deep fryer + stove. Well, girlfriends think? I am a fool

look who is not lazy, down there on the left is what I looked at, it has a price of 299

Hello girls !!!
Why only girls ???
Hello everybody!!!
(y) Master Pilaf is not just a functional device, but rather a fabulous pot. : santa: Every day I sit and think about cooking something else.
I tell you no, a frying pan will not replace it.
Give me a frying pan that I can talk about for years. ;) Theme Master Pilaf is already a year and a half.
Moreover, if I had not bought it, I would not have met you.
My life changed after meeting you! We are the tastiest on the Internet, I'm sure of that !!!
All good fellows !!!

And I very much agree with the Village Stove! Even in a frying pan and in the oven, as a last resort, I do everything better, this was in the Master-pilaf. But this is IMHO.

Anastasia, as they say, has no comrades in taste and color. I really like my cauldron and I can't compare it with a frying pan, all the same there is a difference.

Thanks to Alexandra, the recipe is very interesting, especially since I did not know how to attach eggplants with meat, now I will definitely do it.

Yana,

In general, any vegetables can be folded and layered with meat, baked in their own juice: add cabbage, potatoes, carrots, zucchini to the already listed eggplants, peppers, onions and lobio. With cilantro and dill. To my mind. called damlama.

And in Cyprus, in a small restaurant in an earthen stove, which stood right on the street, a leg of lamb was baked in a large aluminum pan in foil and around it potatoes, onions, carrots, peppers and eggplants were baked in large ksk. It was the dish of the day, they did it a couple of times a week, I think it was called "stifado". Before our very eyes, they took this huge saucepan out of the stove, cut off a couple of lamb chunks obliquely and placed several large pieces of stewed vegetables nearby ... the smell and taste are indescribable ...
I think all this can be done both in the oven (I tried to repeat it repeatedly), and in the master pilaf and in the slow cooker. make.

Girls!
"Master Pilaf" is now on sale at a special price, just over 3,000 rubles. Who needs it, look at the techHome online store.

In the "Metro" store on Prospekt Mira "Master-pilaf" costs 1700 rubles. with taxes.

Oh, girls ... I'm in agony ... Should I take the Master Pilaf? We have one shop closing and it costs 1550 rubles at a discount. It seems that I have already calmed down about him and decided that I would live without him, but I cannot calmly pass by such a price. I woke up today thinking that I was missing something.

In Anapa, Master-Pilaf costs 4000 rubles, and for 1500 a traveling pot you can't buy, but this is a universal kitchen assistant, I myself work in a store selling household appliances, so prices for imported appliances have increased by 10% over the last week, this is only the first week after the holidays. In any case, it's up to you !!! If I were you, I would buy. This topic has been on the forum for two years now, I have been in it for 6 months, if it doesn’t kill you, it means you and without it everything will be fine, make a decision yourself. I just wish you good luck !!!

I woke up today thinking that I was missing something.

That's how I bought the Master-pilaf. I also woke up with this thought. I have never regretted it!

and I use it successfully, my homemade pilaf is respected from this saucepan, french fries and all sorts of donuts are still going with a bang. I am happy and will not say that I do not need it, even though I have other appliances, and multi, and steamers, and aeroogril.

Oh girls Thanks for your support !!! I'll run to go to the store ... If it's still there, then it's mine

This is generally some kind of miracle. I called my husband to find out when he would give me the car (his car is being repaired), and he was just in those places and I asked him to buy me a Master pilaf (I was very afraid because the whole family already had the impression that I was going crazy the basis of the acquisition of any kitchen utensils) expected any answer (not very soft), and he only asked if I was sure that I needed this little thing? Stunned! I'm shocked! He already bought it and did not even try to rebel

Thank you!!! Now I am not able to wait for the Master-pilaf to arrive home, all in thought where to start ... how to surprise the family, so that they would not doubt that the Master was vital to us.

[Girls]

Girls, but in my opinion "Master-pilaf" has stopped producing. On the Tefal website, I did not find it, and in the institute stores too.
natalkahow lucky you are! Congratulations on your purchase!

Right here
🔗 and here 🔗 and here 🔗 they are.

Thank you very much for your support. I didn't manage to surprise with pilaf, because yesterday I cooked it (pilaf) in a slow cooker. In general, nothing happened today, a full refrigerator of food and cooking something else would be out of place (it’s a pity to throw everything out later - it’s better to save money on new appliances) I just walked around the whole day and felt and examined a new miracle. I found a small scratch on the bottom, but did not get upset, because.The master pilaf was the last one from the window and I was ready for something like that. I previously (within a year) examined it in different stores and often saw such a defect of it, so I prepared myself internally and convinced myself that for such a price and with a scratch it would be a joy, especially since most likely during operation it would still be appeared sooner or later.
Getting ready for tomorrow's debut. Still thinking about the stunning recipe. Can the fish be funneled according to the recipe from page 21 or page 22?

And today I want to say thank you to everyone who in this thread told me about this device. The fact is that we had a misfortune, for some technical reasons (we are finding out) two houses - ours and a neighbor's - were disconnected from the gas pipeline. Due to the fact that I have a Master Pilaf and a Multicooker, I do not feel any discomfort, these two devices, complementing each other, give me the opportunity to feed my family deliciously!
Many thanks again to all the "residents" of this topic!
I really look forward to new recipes and do not regret a penny spent on the purchase of a "magic cauldron"!

I am very happy for you, but sorry for myself. Something I have no friendship with him. All the results somehow do not suit me. I will not adapt to his character.
How does your Teflon coating feel? In some places I got stuck. And this despite the fact that I, since the purchase of this cauldron, have used it 8-10 times. Not more!

And I am happy with my cauldron, I use it once a week, and what kind of fish and vegetables it contains is just superb. Teflon has peeled off only in one place in the corner on the right, but to be honest, I don't bother with it.

And all of me in front of the shadow peeled off with small points. I, of course, also try not to bother, but still a little offensive.

[natalka]

natalka, tanya1962, you scared me! Teflon is fine for now. But I didn't use it often before. Sometimes pilaf, fish with vegetables, more often used it as a deep fryer. And now, when he had a chance to work actively, it turned out that the device was necessary.
I'm already mentally prepared for the fact that Teflon can "peel off".
