Choosing a slow cooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker (2)

[it's a seamless experience from the start]

Please help, experienced users!

I choose a multivark for my parents. I have never used it myself, so I have no idea what to look for.
After spending 3 days on this forum, I decided on the following priorities:
1. Teflon bowl or other that will last as long as possible
2. Extremely easy to operate
3. We need modes - stewing, steaming, porridge, frying. Yogurt, bread, pastries and everything exotic is not so important
4. Cook for two, but not for one meal. Usually mom cooks for 2 days. I don't even know which volume is preferable.

And the main thing! I want to buy this car because my parents need to follow a strict diet. My mother has diabetes mellitus, my father has arrhythmias complicated by overweight. But getting your mom to cook healthy meals is almost impossible. How she mastered the frying pan 30 years ago, she no longer recognizes anything. I hope that in a multicooker, all the same, frying and stewing is more gentle and without so much oil, fat, etc.
But the key to success is it's a seamless experience from the start, so that after trying it once with me, she realized that it is really simple and delicious. Otherwise, she will throw it into the closet and will only get it for my arrival.

I am considering the following models
1. Polaris PMS 0520AD
2. Polaris PMC 0508 AD
3. Polaris PMC 0512 AD
4. Swizz Style 929 Chef. Confused by the thicket 3L, I don't know if this is enough for them or not
5. Philips HD 3134/00 - also a thicket of 3 liters.
6.Panasonic SP TMH 18LTW

I bow more to Panasonic. I read a lot of good reviews, but the lack of a full-fledged frying mode is embarrassing. All the same, after 30 years of a frying pan, they will not be able to immediately refuse fried ((

Your advice is very necessary!

Thank you!

[ragtimecat]

ragtimecat, Eating habits are the strongest, but sadly in terms of taste, it is difficult and sometimes impossible to surpass fried. Here it is important that the parents themselves want to change their lifestyle, if not, then the work is in vain and the multicooker will go to the closet.

sazalexter, they, in principle, understand the need and agree that it is necessary to change the food dramatically. But since my mother never cooked anything on steam and always preferred to fry meat than even bake it, now it is very difficult for her to start cooking in a completely different way. She simply does not know other recipes. That's why I want to buy a multicooker. There are ready-made recipes for her, you can find a large number of recipes in a multicooker specifically for her diet, there are ready-made modes ... again, dad will be able to cook porridge for himself and go ..
In general, I am ready to risk $ 150 if there is even a 50% chance of success)
I am flying to my parents on Friday, so I will be very grateful for advice on specific models

[ragtimecat]

ragtimecat, if I choose from those models that you suggested, I would stop at Stadler - Swizz Style 929 Chef. If you are confused by 3 liters, there are both 4 (SFC.909) and 5 (SFC.919). If mom cooks for 4 servings, then it is better to take a 4-liter one.

[Manna]

Manna, so in Stadler there is no frying. I think it won't.
And everything else is great)

[Mashun]

Mashun, so ... so I realized that low frying is needed to improve the quality of nutrition for parents. And Stadler as a whole is a wonderful slow cooker, right?

[ragtimecat]

ragtimecat, Panasonic SP TMH 18LTW most of all recipes, recommendations and other things ...

[Mashun]

Mashun, so ... so I realized that low frying is needed to improve the quality of nutrition for parents. And Stadler as a whole is a wonderful slow cooker, right?

Yeah, great. But I read somewhere that the new models seem to have improved the Fry.
I really miss her intense roasting.

Please help me in choosing a multicooker for a student.
The multicooker is compact (there is not much space in the dorm room :), so the volume of the bowl is 3 liters (maximum 4). The coating of the bowl is not ceramic (ceramics, in my opinion, are short-lived). Delayed start is required. Desirable mode "yogurt" or its equivalent in the form of the ability to set a low temperature. Frying is optional. Not too expensive. It is very important that there are no problems with the escape of cereals, soups and other liquids (of course, with an adequate load of the bowl). As an option, we consider REDMOND RMC-M11, REDMOND RMC-M4515. What do you think? Can these models be considered hassle-free student aides? Or are there other decent options?

p.s. I forgot about the possibility of steaming. Desirable but not required.

[Marcello]

Marcello, but will it go for 2 liters? Redmond 01
Great little one, cooks porridge for 5+, there is yogurt, everything is there. Only there is no frying. But the bowl is ceramic, unfortunately.

[Masinen]

Masinen, 2 liters is too little. The useful volume is probably less than 1.5 liters.

Then take a look at Panasonic. They have three 3 liter models.
And the price is now super for them! Take a look at the yulmart.
Panasonic is reliable and the bowl is good, but there is no frying in 3 liters.

Frying in itself is not very necessary (especially such as in Shtebe).
That's just for me. Market tried to choose Panasonic with yogurt or at least with temperature control. Issues one Panasonic SR-MHS181 model for 5 liters and for 8 tons. Not an option.

In general, there is a suspicion that on me. On the market, not all models have the option "yogurt", and therefore not all are selected. Therefore, I turned to the forum, suddenly someone from personal experience will advise.

There are many Vitesse on the internet. But I somehow do not have confidence in this brand as a manufacturer of multicooker.

If there are no other ideas, then choose from the list:
REDMOND RMC-M4515
REDMOND RMC-M11
REDMOND RMC-M10
Polaris PMC 0508D floris (yes, 5-liter, but inexpensive and met a lot of good reviews on it).

[Marcello]

Marcello, but surely the student (s) will cook in a multicooker? My daughter (a student) still refuses to buy a cartoon, she says it is more convenient to buy ready-made Or to eat in the dining room.
Look at POLARIS PMC 0508D FLORIS - 14 programs, cartoon, though 5 liters, but I calmly cook in it for one portion of porridge)))
Sorry, just saw that she's on your list.

Yes, by the way, Floris Polaris is a good slow cooker, judging by the reviews.

but surely the student (s) will cook in a slow cooker?

Will be. Itself asks

Here's another Philips HD3134. 3 liters, good non-stick coating (according to reviews), steaming, yogurt (!). And even there is frying. The shortcomings of this model are urgently needed

[Marcello]

Marcello, here's a read, the forum has a topic about this model
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=359613.0

[Vitaok]

Vitaok, judging by other forums, the model is ambiguous. But judging by this forum, there are many recipes for dishes from meat and vegetables for the Phillips, and porridge and pastries prevail in Polaris and Redmond (at least it seemed to me so). So for now, the choice is in favor of Phillips.

I bow more to Panasonic. I read a lot of good reviews, but the lack of a full-fledged frying mode is embarrassing. All the same, after 30 years of a frying pan, they will not be able to immediately refuse fried ((

Well, that means actively rosy ta6aka and steaks will continue to fry in a pan.))

It's just that 6th big old Panasonic is at home, and now I have a gift cartoon with a more aggressive heat (I also bought it for my mother).
So chicken, fried in pieces, in Panas turns out to be simply melting, juicy and with a slight ruddy color just 6 perfect, but in the new cartoon on the same 6 hotter Pastry it was fried to such a haaarosh crust, as if I did it in a frying pan.

Tasty, but the taste is more traditional, or something ... Therefore, I decided for sure that if my old man dies (t-t-t), I will still buy a second one the same and let me just fry the meat. However, he also bakes very well, only a pressure cooker at "low pressure" bakes better than him.))
And this new cartoon with 6 more active Baking raises the dough a little lower. But it's still delicious, of course.))

[ragtimecat]

ragtimecat,
I advise you to choose such multicooker for which you can buy a bowl. Any coating, even the most wonderful, deteriorates over time.
As for the programs that you think are unnecessary, these are only the names of temperature modes.For example, knowing that Frying is 150 degrees, Baking is 130 degrees, and Stewing is 110 degrees, you can choose the intensity of heating in each specific dish. (Temperatures vary from model to model.) If the stew is almost done but there is too much liquid, I switch from Stew to Bake or Fry to evaporate the liquid. Frying is needed when stewing meat, chicken (to seal juices), when cooking soup (sautéing vegetables). It is inconvenient to get the frying pan dirty for this, and then transfer it to the multicooker ... Remember how often you use strong heat on the stove during cooking, even if for a short time.
Manual mode or multi-cook makes it possible to use a multicooker as a stove. The person himself regulates the temperature. Only on the stove does the hostess intuitively use the stove handle, and in a multi-cooker, a few keystrokes are used to select the temperature in degrees. This feature doesn't complicate the multicooker. The multicooker is becoming a more flexible appliance.
For cooking cereals as side dishes, so-called sensory programs are convenient. The temperature sensor regulates the process: while the temperature is up to 100 degrees, heating goes on as soon as the product starts to heat above 100 degrees. (no free liquid), the countdown to the end of the program begins. The remaining time is included in the program. It can be 5-10-15 minutes. But the operating time until the liquid disappears is not laid down, but depends on the presence of liquid.

If you are afraid that your parents' multicooker will move to the mezzanine, print out a cheat sheet from the manual with your comments added, with temperatures in degrees, with the order of pressing the buttons. At first, such tips are very necessary.

[Manna]

MannaAs the main skeet Multi-expert question. Please tell me a multicooker for without problem cooking porridge in milk, maybe Brand 502 or something more exotic, or old age is just around the corner, just porridge and crack Something I'm not at all in the subject of the latest innovations in the field of multi-building

[Alexander]

Alexander, now, in my opinion, the most problem-free for milk porridge is Redmond 01 (for 2 liters). Her temperature on the milk (according to my measurements) does not reach the boiling point of milk, so it does not try to run at all. Brand 502 also seems to have no problems with milk (I can't remember anyone complaining), but do you need its bells and whistles (5-step manual mode) just for porridge? Stadler also (3, 4, 5 liters) has an interesting program for milk - sensory. But there are specimens that, after about six months or a year, began to overheat with milk. By the way, do you need porridge liters? Is 1.4 liters enough? No? What volume should you choose from?

Please tell me a slow cooker for without problem cooking porridge in milk, maybe Brand 502 or something more exotic, otherwise old age is just around the corner, only porridge and crack

Apparently, it will only be a milk cooker! The porridge never burns and does not run away Especially in old age, when there is nowhere to rush

I tried different multi-pressure cookers, and everywhere there is a "quirk" when the milk tries to escape, not often but it happens
Now, 4-6 months, I cook porridge in Ursone 4002, until I run away, I don't know what will happen next

[Alexander]

Alexander, now, in my opinion, the most problem-free for milk porridge is Redmond 01 (for 2 liters).

Manna, already a couple of times milk has run away from redmond 01 (small). Now I have to insure myself and put a rag in several layers under the multicooker, in case of a flood. I won't say that this happens often, but I am already insuring myself.

[Admin]

Admin, are you talking about the Urson pressure cooker? I don't really care about porridge from pressure cookers Recently I began to cook porridge in my "slow cooker" (or rather, a multicooker with a clay bowl). In it, I like porridge the most. But you need to turn it off in time (I turn it on for intensive heating for 10-15 minutes, and then turn it off, and then she will already cook the porridge due to the temperature of the pot for 30-50 minutes).

Did you run away at 01? Maybe she began to overheat you? From you the first I hear about this.

[Manna]

Manna, it was a long time ago and only a couple of times. I don’t know what influenced it - maybe this milk was caught.But, now I’m just afraid to leave it on the table without a substrate below, so as not to collect it from the floor

In Orsonchik 4002 they work well. And I just like this model. There are certainly some misunderstandings, but in general the model suits.

[Manna]

Manna, I cook porridge per liter of milk in Kuku 1054 on a timer for the night. Kuku 1055 toad strangling buy Went to read Stadler's info

[sazalexter]

sazalexter,
For 2 years of almost daily (more precisely, weekly) cooking of porridge in Brand 37502, not a single attempt to escape has been recorded. There is a very gentle algorithm, without active boiling. In the 502nd it didn't seem to be changed.
In the last six months I have been cooking in a cuckoo once a week, when Brand is busy with yogurt overnight. It's okay too.

I myself was looking for a small slow cooker so that I could have 2 different cereals in the morning, I looked closely at 3L Stadler, but the reviews about the problems with milk were confused. She's sensory there and not always predictable ...

? I don't really care about porridge from pressure cookers Recently I began to cook porridge in my "slow cooker" (or rather, a multicooker with a clay bowl). In it, I like porridge the most.

Porridge languishes, yeah, the most delicious milk porridge. I use this principle in a pressure cooker. Before going to bed, I turn on for 15 minutes, wait for the end of the time and go to bed. In the morning I just open the lid. Steamed porridge, stewed and not yet cooled. I have a fad - I'm afraid to leave the included equipment unattended. I would specifically buy a three-liter pressure cooker for a portion of porridge up to a liter. And there will definitely be no shoots, and the milk will boil. In a slow cooker, there is a chance that the milk still does not boil.

Yes, the reviews on Stadler are very contradictory, which means the first candidate is Brand 502, I also think ENDEVER SkyLine MC-97 / MC98 but this is a dark horse, there is no information at all, but I like the design and handles on a saucepan like in Cook

[sazalexter]

three liter pressure cooker

do they exist?
sazalexter
also, it seems, in the budget Polaris Floris they praised the milk.

do they exist?

According to unspecified data, Brand will release this soon. I myself sit in ambush and wait :) Bork releases this, but I won't give my money for him.
I still use what I have. I have a bowl for 6 liters, I usually cook porridge for a liter of milk.

ENDEVER SkyLine MC-97 / MC98 but it's a dark horse

This is a completely dark horse. I have only the most initial multicooker from Cromax. That is still nothing. But the following were not God knows what. It is very difficult to say with new ones now, because the risk is great. And also representatives of Cromax do not really make contact.

Milk mode is hard mode (especially for Chinese). Therefore, few multicooker can boast of the reliability of this mode (in 100% of cases). 502 Brandovskaya was reprogrammed many times, so her modes work more or less correctly, including milk. Much also depends on the composition of the porridge (it is whole-grain, or cut, or mixed). They run mostly chops and mixed cereals.

By the way, Redmond 01 is also available in black ... it's called 011. I repeat that I have not seen any reviews about running milk in this model (only from Admin for the first time, but again, the reason could be in milk, and not in a slow cooker).
The brand plans to launch a 2 liter pressure cooker. But nothing is known about the timing yet. It is still under development.

[Manna]

Manna.Yes ENDEVER site 🔗 in general, some kind of "muddy" MB instructions are not laid out, there are really no program descriptions, they declare 2 types of milk porridge + multi-cook, even there is no faith ... I also read about Redmond, although I do not like this brand at all

Yes, and do not answer questions at all. And redmond ...I, too, am not very attractive to this Brand, but 01, 011 and 02 are not bad multicooker

The brand plans to launch a 2 liter pressure cooker. But nothing is known about the timing yet. It is still under development.

Quite a little ... Let's wait until their plans come true.
If you do not rest on boiling milk, then you can cook porridge in a multicooker on a Multipovar below 100 degrees. (95 degrees). Then it doesn't matter at all what kind of cereal and what kind of milk. Polarisov has the second generation of multicooker with manual temperature selection. We don't forget about the Brand either.
After all, all multi-cookers with a milk porridge mode, which are guaranteed not to run away, are configured exactly this way: do not bring to a boil.

on Multipovar up to 100 degrees

Will run at a constant 100 ° C. We need 95-98 ° C.

Will run at a constant 100 ° C. We need 95-98 ° C.

I have clarified now, yes. And in manual modes, most often the step is 5 degrees, and it turns out 95 degrees.
I did that, the porridge cooks great.

My girls run on 01, milk runs even on baby food. And the rice on the water ran away when I overdid it with water. That's why I'm grazing now on forums with three-liter, one-year-old daughter wants to cook porridge in the morning without hemorrhoids, and preferably on a delay. Because I had to wash it every morning, and I’ll say it’s not so convenient to wash it, try to pick out the rubber bands from them so that it becomes perfectly clean. But for lunch, vegetables in it with meat and I cook and bake small bread. Perhaps I got a marriage, I'm so lucky.
I also want to ask about someone who knows what she really is Panasonic SR-DY101WTQ for 3 liters of reviews, which is not at all, but already sold in full. The most important thing is whether you need to run it again there, like in the old one, or you can put it right away. 1:20 for example? And what about the dairy?

Perhaps I got a marriage

Indeed, why didn't you send her to the service center? Far away from him?

The most important thing is whether you need to run it again there, like in the old one, or you can put it right away. 1:20 for example?

As far as I know, you need to restart

Milk porridge is an eternal topic on the multicooker forums. You can't argue against physics. ANY milk porridge without human intervention will be safely cooked either in a pressure cooker with boiling, or in a multicooker on a manual (or automatic, as in Redmond 01) mode at a temperature of 95-98 degrees. without boiling. Regardless of the type of cereal and the quality of milk. Everything else is dances with tambourines.

-

Indeed, why didn't you send her to the service center?

In our city, definitely not, but sending it into the unknown is hopeless, so even though I'm preparing lunch for the baby, I need to buy at least a three-liter one to start.

As far as I know, you need to restart

That is, a new cartoon with old problems is not logical at all, conservatism is needed in quality, and not in outdated cartoons. If only the screen was changed so that both hours and minutes could be inserted there. Maybe I don't understand something. And what does the increased power give? Maybe the porridge will start running away or the pastries will burn)

[Natalia]

Natalia, this, apparently, just got Lina's marriage. 01 - well, a very low-power and low-temperature multicooker

And what does the increased power give? Maybe the porridge will start running away or the pastries will burn)

There is very little information about this multicooker. I saw a message stating that the problem with changing the time in modes is not solved. The power allows the bowl to heat up faster and maintain high temperatures. It is not at all necessary that this will negatively affect milk and baked goods.

-

Have run Admin a couple of times, the reason may be milk.

-

I also tried to run porridge at 01. I use it for about 7 months. I cook porridge, make yogurt, drown milk, cook compotes and cottage cheese casserole. Yesterday I put oatmeal porridge on the timer in the night, as usual, on the top a double boiler with eggs.I was very surprised to see the steamer all splashed with porridge in the morning. If not for her, there would have been a flood. It's a pity, but everything started well ...

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, is this an isolated case, or is milk porridge constantly running? Is it not milk? Do you always cook eggs on top of milk porridge?
