Multicooker Polaris PMC 0508D

[On Saturday, I cooked jellied meat for the first time in a slow cooker. I put everything in a saucepan, poured cold water to the maximum mark and turned it on for stewing for 7 hours, an hour later I opened it, collected the foam and an hour before it was ready, threw the carrots, onions and salted. The cooking process is normal, but I really liked the fact that I did not need to watch it!]

And my thought crept in against the background of your answer: if you cook the broth in such a way, then so that it turns out light, you can also remove the foam

[Irene]

And I think, can the oil be thrown to the bottom or somehow cut the time?

Oh, Irene, then so, I'm telling. I put washed cereals, salt, sugar, milk, water in a saucepan and smear a saucepan with a piece of butter at a level of about 3 cm from the level of the products (it may not be necessary, but I read somewhere on the forum, now I do and believe that this is exactly what does not allow the porridge to rise and run far away), after which I throw it into the center of the future porridge. Alleeee, turn it on. Sometimes I open it in the middle of the cycle and mix it. But in the end I do it without fail and leave it to finish. If in the middle of the cycle I opened it and I see a violent boil, and while stirring I feel that it starts to stick, after a while it means to burn, then I follow, stir and turn it off before the "squeaks".

Why do I need this cartoon? In order not to stand at the stove, not to interfere with anything, and not to follow, he did not run away. And also, in order to throw in cereals with additives in the evening and get a warm porridge in the morning. Panasonic cooks great. I think that you just need to get used to Polaris. They, bastards, wrote on the box with a lure that a book with recipes was attached, but nothing was dumb. Bought for the price of the prize - 1300 rubles.

[Irene]

Irene , I have mixing only on "problem" cereals - I check barley and sometimes corn, and so the saucepan is "all by itself, all by itself." The price is fabulous, of course. And I have a recipe book. Is it necessary? I can print. But there are recipes with modes that do not exist, for example, Frying, that is, it is necessary to adapt again, who is fried on what.

Aygul
And thanks from me, although I have DEH-50 and a little Liberton, but the recipes are in principle universal, if you more or less study your multi and their modes

rusja, recipes and modes are, of course, versatile. The difference is probably only in the cooking time. Here in DEH, the dish will cook faster, because the power is greater, and in Liberton, it will cook in the same way or a little longer.

Yes, everything is correct, I took Libertonchik for cereals and casseroles, DEKH overheats them godlessly, in it there are wonderful biscuits, but different types of meat dishes are obtained

Hello! I bought 508 polaris today, decided to update and cook pea porridge ... I read the recipe on one of the forums: 2st. peas and 6 tbsp. water ... after 20 minutes the MV began to boil and splash in different directions ... I turned it off ... now I sit and don't know what's next ... Tell me! PS: I really like porridge))

[irintya]

irintya,
Of course, you started your acquaintance with extreme porridge
peas are a capricious thing, as they want, they will behave themselves.
Didn't you soak it before cooking?
The girls recommend, in order to avoid your situation, to pour boiling water over the peas, and there is probably too much water, so it foamed and flooded.Pour at least 2 glasses less, add if anything along the way and start cooking on the most gentle program you have - stewing, for example. On rice-pilaf, it will skidded one hundred percent, there the heating is more intense. I would tell you more specifically, but I do not have Polaris, but Liberton, which is closer to you in terms of power.
In general, experiment further and do not be afraid - success is obligatory. will come

Thank Rusja She turned it on again, and as she began to gurgle, she opened the steam release valve - it didn’t boil over, it’s cooking something there ... but how to look? Can I open the lid during cooking? Otherwise, I realized from the instructions that it seems like it’s not, and I don’t understand a little, in buckwheat mode, when will it stop cooking - when will all the water boil away?

1.The lid can be opened on all programs, only on automatic ones the cooking time can get lost and, accordingly, it will cook longer until the boiling intensity again picks up, and on baking, such intervention is simply undesirable for the dough itself, especially for a biscuit.
2. I think the buckwheat program, like any other AUTOMATIC program, prepares until the water is completely boiled away. If you have a SOUP program, cook on it, there, as with stewing, there is simply a gentle heating after baking.
By the way, I also chose between Polaris and Liberton, but I chose Libertonchik just for a small saucepan. Big and fast DEH-50, I have it for a year now.

Cooked! I haven't cooked the peas so quickly, but the little ones were burnt. Tell me, what mode of cooking buckwheat itself, on the same mode or on stewing or soup? and then what to cook on "buckwheat"? and fry in what mode you can, please tell me
In general, I dialed between 512 and 508, in our city the choice is not great ... and I chose 512, but it turned out to be faulty in the store and I had to take 508 in a single copy.

I can only say - cook buckwheat on BUCKWHEAT, I gave you different advice about peas. And your co-cookers will already tell you about frying and other wisdom.

How to clean the lid of the Polaris 508? she's not filming? who does how on their similar cartoons?

Yes, just wipe it with a rag if it gets heavily covered with porridge

[irintya]

irintya I often cook pea porridge and pea soup. I wash it thoroughly, many times, there will be no foam from this, I put it in the cartoon and fill it with boiling water, put it on stewing, after 40 minutes it is ready. Never pre-soak! True, I pour water on the eye, not a lot, so that it is 3 cm from above, in the process I open it and see how things are going there, sometimes I add water.

Who had odor problems? and how to get rid of it? And then I cooked steam cutlets with pounded yesterday, they had an unpleasant aftertaste of plastic. When I cooked pea porridge for the first time, for some reason there was no aftertaste in it.

There seems to be no smell of plastic. Maybe just after your burnt peas, the smell remained? Ideally, the lid and valve should be washed after each cooking to remove the odors from the previous dish. And try to fry in the Steamer, you just need to let it warm up. It is easy to wash the lid - wipe it well with a damp washcloth. But if there is a desire, there is a screw under the drip tray. If you unscrew it, then you can carefully remove the lid, wash, dry and put in place.

No problems with the smell, with anything (even scary). Even my 80-year-old father has mastered Polaris! Calls "my cook"

Uraaaa! I just took the water together with a double boiler for an hour, and there was no smell. I put out potatoes with chicken - it turned out so great

Hmm ... I put millet porridge to cook ... milk porridge in the mode ... it was cooked in half an hour (so quickly), I had to turn off the multicooker earlier. but what if I put on the timer and go somewhere on business, she will burn, digest, or what else can happen to her in the remaining time

I cook exclusively on a timer, nothing burns

Hello! Happy New Year everyone! Presented a multicooker Polaris 0506! Who has experience with this model, share your successes.
on which program is it better to cook pilaf. in the recipe book (from the polaris website) they offer a mode of rice or stewing, I do not have a rice program, but it is somehow strange on stewing. before that I used Panasonic-10, not enough for my family.
modes in 506:
1.cooking-turbo
2.cooking - normal
3.frying (crust)
4. stewing
5.soup and porridge
6.baking
7.Steamer
Thanks in advance for your answers.

I looked at the description of your device, the impression is not very ...))) There are no automatic programs Plov, Buckwheat - a very big minus. Therefore, all porridge, including pilaf, must be cooked, most likely, in the Soup mode. And find out the cooking time through experiments. The usual ratio of rice / water is 1 to 2. You will have to look regularly at the CF until you select the optimal quality of cooked rice and meat for yourself. Take into account the rather large power of MV, there, it seems, 850 watts.

Thanks for the answer. Polaris 506 has an analogue of Saturn (I don't remember the model number) or vice versa. there is a description on the forum, but not much either. Milk porridge - soup on the program. And cereals (rice, buckwheat) are offered in the cooking mode. I haven't tried it yet. Maybe someone cooked? hot baking mode for frying (crust). Fried pork ribs. You can put experiments on the MV, but how the saucepan will behave. In the baking mode, the ribs are fried, not much, but still.

I, too, come to you with my Polaris 0508D. The second time I read the forum (and how many I read before) well, I can't understand why the soup is cooked on "stew" and not on ",, / soup / ,,? Please give advice on how to cook cabbage soup from sauerkraut, right with the modes. Thanks in advance!

It is possible in the Soup mode, it is also possible in the Stew. As you like. I like soups and stewed borsch more. A matter of taste. And about cabbage soup - look for recipes on this or other culinary sites. Now almost all of them have topics about CF. But with sauerkraut, in my opinion, it is better to cook stewed. Rassolnik I did on stewing. However, like the other))) Delicious!

Mercy, especially since thanks to your messages, I begin to understand how the unit works. I just read on other forums that after "Quenching" the product sometimes turns sour, apparently due to the fact that the temperature there is low. So I decided to clarify. Well, okay, I very persistently asked for a slow cooker - now it's too late to retreat, waxing will have to make a serious face and start preparing the dish. If everything goes well, I will report on the result. Merry Christmas everyone!

At the expense of "sour" I do not know - it has never happened. True, at first I poured boiling water over the stew soup, then cold, but boiled water. And now just water from the filter. After preparing the soup or others, I take out the saucepan, let it cool and pour it into the tureen bowl, and then into the refrigerator. The niche never turned sour. Pah-pah-pah. Maybe someone is preparing large portions of soup and the raw water does not have time to boil slowly. I am calculating for 3 liters of soup and 2 hours for stewing - there is no less time. If I don’t forget, I can turn it off earlier, and so in 2 hours it turns out great and does not boil anything. Merry Christmas everyone !!!

I saw a new model on the Polaris-pressure cooker forum: - \ someone bought one. Or please tell me where you can talk about her

We bought this slow cooker the other day, loaded the products on stewed potatoes like in Panasonic, chose the same mode (pilaf), as a result, after 45 minutes, it turned off. The potatoes seem to have boiled, but the meat is completely tough and the onions are raw and all this is floating in the water .... I put the "pilaf" again, I thought to turn it off after 30 minutes, when I came (after 25 minutes) the countdown is already going on, 5 minutes. to end. That is, it turned out that on the repetition of the program, she drove her for 30 minutes and again began to fry.As a result, the meat is burnt and stuck and is still tough and the onions crunch, and the liquid is full. They ate it washed, soaking it overnight did not help much, tore it off with nails Now the bottom is in white spots.
To say that I am disappointed - I, in principle, was ready for the fact that this is not Panasonic, that this is a lottery ticket, that there will be nuances, but so that everything is so bad .... in short, I'm in frustration.
And today I cooked a lemon curd casserole, delicious of course, baked well, but I could not tear it off from the bottom ... I forged the edges, turned it over on the steamer tray, and the entire bottom layer remained in the bowl, and it was not very fried, like just what you need. Soaked and scraped with a silicone spatula.
Maybe I have a defective bowl ??? I already reproach myself for what the light is for this purchase !!!!
Who got the food sticking to the bowl ??? What to do???

[The main thing in baking is to grease the form well with butter.]

My impressions of the multicooker:
- I cooked borsch on stewing. First, the meat (cut into pieces) was fried with carrots, etc. in baking for 20 minutes. then I added everything else and for 1.5 hours on the stewing. The meat was boiled, of course, but not so well (I had beef), in general, as I understood it, you need to cut it finely and fry it longer. On day 3, the borscht was especially tasty, but we were just finishing it.
- Last night I decided on "Chocolate on boiling water" I made 2 eggs, 2.5 tbsp. flour, etc. in general there was a lot of dough. I was sure that the finished cake would fall out of the bowl in 65 + 20 time. Nothing like this! After 1.5 hours, I saw the same picture as at the beginning of baking, after another 30 minutes. the cake grabbed a little. I already wanted to pour everything into the mold and into the oven, but then I thought about it and decided to leave it for another hour. In general, after 3! hours I got what I wanted. Like people in 1.5 hours. I don’t get it! The main thing in baking is to grease the form well with butter.... I jumped out just like that

[Dumpling]

Dumpling I have never cooked on pilaf, but stewing potatoes with meat turns out great. First, I fry the meat and onions in baking for 20-30 minutes, then I throw the potatoes, pour boiling water and put them on stewing, in an hour everything is ready.
The baked goods never stick, I grease the saucepan with oil.
Gigi Chocolate on boiling water is the most gorgeous multicooker cake. I do everything according to the recipe, I use a multicooker glass. It is baked in 1.5 hours. Maybe you took an ordinary glass, it is larger and accordingly it took longer to bake.

[Ludusya]

Ludusya
Of course, with ordinary glasses, it didn't even click anywhere that there was a lot of multi-cooker dough and the cake was correspondingly very large. And for my family, I decided to do half of the norm.

Lucky you I also oiled with oil, sunflower, oiled well, with a silicone brush, but alas ...

Dumpling I have never cooked on pilaf, but stewing potatoes with meat turns out great.

Thanks for the stew advice. But I was hoping for the automatic program to work. Fry, add, pour and simmer - I have a stove and a cast iron pan for this, everything turns out great. But I threw away the ingredients, turned it on and forgot, and after 1.5 hours the finished stew without excess liquid and no smudge and no coals - for Panasonic it turned out to be easier than ever, and for Polaris it was a big problem, and the bowl now looks like it’s in vain (and it looks like not only looks, because after baking there are fewer white spots, but they have not disappeared at all).

[Dumpling]

Dumpling
Dont be upset! The fact is that in "Chocolate on boiling water" there is half a glass of dough in the dough. oil, maybe that's why it jumps out. It is difficult for me personally to say how the cottage cheese behaves in a slow cooker, since I have not tried it yet, but after reading your comment I see that there is a problem. Cottage cheese, it is generally (in my opinion) a capricious product. Let's see if someone can respond and teach us how to cook cottage cheese dishes in a cartoon.

Girls, some kind of grief! What are you unlucky? My 80-year-old dad is not overjoyed, he succeeds. But at first he studied the instructions for a long time, if evil took it, when will he start using it. And now - masterpiece after masterpiece.
