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

Oh, Mannyash, that lan you! Is that more cunning?

I bought a multicooker with the "multi-cook" function (redmond 90). Because many of the usual recipes could not be adapted to the cartoon. now this is no problem. I quickly figured out the instructions - and got down to business))

A question without jokes. Very serious. For some reason, many friends ask me to recommend a multicooker. And I still can't correctly explain to them about the benefits of the multi-cook mode. So here:
- What recipes cannot be adapted in a simple multicook (without a multi-cook) and why
- Give 1-2 examples of how to cook a particular dish using this function. It is desirable in stages.
I would be grateful to everyone for clear answers.
The answer "In the" porridge "mode, porridge is running, so we set a lower temperature for porridge on the multi-cooker" is not accepted, since we will proceed from the correctly operating modes.

By the way, the topic is not about that Redmond ... It advertises a new scary coffin of white and silver color, which you control through bluetooth or wai wai, but ... With the help of some other device)) and also through that strange device you can control the kettle (guess which company) and a TV with an audio system ...
This begs the question - on .. ra !?
I asked it on a nearby forum, so they insured me ... _{But not forum users, but the same advertisers}

We have already raised the issue here about Wi-Fi. And I didn't understand anything either. Masha - Schumacher, do I already have age-related deviations?

Well, how does the kettle need wi-fi ??? Imagine: before you open an apartment, take out your phone, turn on this very program, give the kettle the command "boiling water", go home and voila, you have a KIPYATOK in the kettle. How did we live without this thing before ??? The kettle is boiled for 5 minutes!

Oh, those spammers
I wish I could come up with such a feature that until a person has typed some messages, he will not be able to write the word redmond!

Lar, the "Multi-cook" mode is needed for:
1. Compensate for mowing modes
2. A marketing move is now popular (if there is no multi-cooker, then a multi-cooker may not be bought - these are the realities of today)
3. Minimize the number of modes if they do not need specific algorithms (then the multi-cook should be with a small step, as, for example, in Shtebe)
4. For recipes that require two or three steps (for example, cottage cheese, proofing and baking yeast dough), then you need a Multi-Cook +
5. For recipes that require unaccounted temperature ranges on modes (for example, baking tender casseroles at 115 ° C, if the "Baking" mode is set for muffins at 120-130 ° C)

But I didn't understand how the Masterchef in Redmond differs from the Multicook in Polaris. For me, this is the same thing.

Do you use it?

I wish I could come up with such a feature that until a person has typed some messages, he will not be able to write the word redmond!

It would be great! And then thanks to this rabid ad, the word "Redmond" starts to cause me allergies. And, if I suddenly need another slow cooker, it will definitely ... not that word.

But I didn't understand how the Masterchef in Redmond differs from the Multicook in Polaris. For me, this is the same thing.

They are just names for the same thing in different words. The only thing, unlike Polaris, who does not specifically name the possibility of adjusting the time / temperature during the cooking process, is called the Masterchef by Remond. We can conditionally say that Multipovar is a mode, and Masterchef is a function (but I will emphasize once again that Polaris also has this function, only it has no special name).

Do you use it?

No, I do not use it. I do not bake yeast in a slow cooker (and indeed rarely yeast pitch). And when I cook cottage cheese, I use 6 liters of milk at a time - not multi-cooker volumes

No, I do not use it.

Here, damn it, and no one uses (I found out).
I don't mind this feature when it is. But making it a priority ... Much more important:
- correct modes "milk porridge", "yogurt", "pilaf or cereals", "stewing"
- Possibility of temperature correction on programs (the wider the range, the better)
- Overheating protection mode
- The presence of a couple of touch programs
- Good stewing mode (without vigorous boiling and soiling of the lid)
- Normal frying
- High-quality plump and heavy pan
- Removable cover plate for cleaning

If I still remember what, I will add

[R4S mobile app control]

Since Remond is worried that there is still no topic on the forum about their new product, then I created a topic:

Pasta program: "After boiling water, a beep will sound at regular intervals. Open the lid of the appliance, load the ingredients and close the lid. Then press and hold the Start / Heat button until the beep sounds. The cooking time will count down."

"Recommendations for cooking milk porridge in a slow cooker
To avoid milk boiling away and get the desired result, it is recommended to do the following before cooking:
• thoroughly rinse all whole grain cereals (rice, buckwheat, millet, etc.) until the water is clear;
• grease the multicooker bowl with butter before cooking;
• strictly observe the proportions, measuring the ingredients according to the instructions from the recipe book (reduce or increase the amount of ingredients strictly proportionally);
• when using whole milk, dilute it with drinking water in a 1: 1 ratio.
! The properties of milk and cereals, depending on the place of origin and manufacturer, may differ, which sometimes affects the results
cooking.
If the desired result in the "MILK Porridge" program was not achieved, use the universal "MULTI-COOK" program.
The optimum temperature for preparing milk porridge is 95 ° C... Set the amount of ingredients and cooking time according to the recipe. "

Laris, I agree with you that a multi-cook would be not needed if automatic / touch modes worked correctly... But, I repeat once again ... it is sometimes necessary to reduce the number of modes that do not require complex algorithms. This is exactly what Shteba is good at - a multi-cook has expanded her capabilities.

Mannochka, with regards to me, Shteba is fine for me and in the DD1 version. There is not a single dish that I would like to cook, and Shteba could not. Here my curves handles fail, there is no Shteba in the old version

to me Shteba and in the DD1 version is great

So DD1 also has a multi-cook, it is simply named differently there.

Manna, what is he called in Shteba?

I ordered myself a March 1980, so to update so update! I am mastering the staff)))), so I will master Martha right away!

Why is there not enough of her on the forum, nobody liked Marta 1980?

Manna, what is he called in Shteba?

Heating, languishing, languishing +

Why is there not enough of her on the forum, nobody liked Marta 1980?

Those who have it are happy with it, but there are fears when purchasing an unknown brand.

: girl_blum: I wrote above that I don’t need baking, with a good oven, but it turns out I do, for small volumes, only now I realized that it would be more convenient.

My husband is a vegetarian (recently), and I have to cook him separately, sometimes I don’t want to reheat the oven because of a small portion, I hope Marta will help me, otherwise Shtebe hasn’t figured out baking yet.

Looked at March 1980. I liked the description.
But! For a long time I have had a question about electronic brains on the lid.
Is it bad for electronics?

When the buttons are on the side or at the top, but not on the lid, it's understandable.
And on the lid - it is not clear.

Or fry, for example. The lid is open, I do not see the scoreboard at all.
Is it convenient?

Is it bad for electronics?

Ideally, there should be good thermal and moisture insulation.But this is not always the case - a striking example is the fogging of the display from the inside to the Redmond IH300. This, of course, is harmful not only for electronics, but also for electricians.

Is it convenient?

Very uncomfortable. Not only when frying, but if I opened the lid before the end of the mode, the dish was ready, I took out the bowl, and forgot about turning off the program - the display is not visible ... and with heating, if it was not turned off.

[For cooking]

So I think the same.
There is protection, but the steam will find its hole. And lack of control if open.
But I see a lot of models from many firms with electronics on the lid.

I keep thinking about the second slow cooker. But if I buy, then under NG or after. In the meantime, I'm circling over different models and subscribed here to different pages.

But for a week of owning his first, the following requirements-wishes have already been formulated.

For cooking
- Curd program or the ability to program 2 stages
- Yoghurt without overheating, precise working out the temperature
- switchable heating
- good frying (I recently fried the cutlets, in MV for longer than on the stove, I want active frying, if possible in MV)
- manual mode (multi-cook, multi-chef, whatever you call it) and programming up to 5 stages

Service, protection, appearance
- a good non-stick bowl (the charm of ceramic, which I don't understand everywhere yet)
- removable plate (even if the programs work correctly, but the curvature of the arms and errors in the calculation of the recipe should be minimized)
- availability of additional bowls immediately upon purchase of MB
- protection against power surge
- preferably not a round barrel
- preferably buttons on top, but not on the lid
- preferably handles on the bowl
Something like this

I also think about the buttons on the lid.

Communication with the main lower device, on which the bowl is placed in such MVs, should be only through a small connection between the lid and the body. The lid is constantly pulled back and forth, the connecting wires lead an active lifestyle, which is why they wear out, unlike the wires of the electronic brains on the body, which are fixed tightly.

I understand that everything is thought out and provided for. But my fears are still there. I would be afraid to pull such a lid once again.

I understand that everything is thought out and provided for. But my fears are still there. I would be afraid to pull such a lid once again.

These fears are far-fetched. And then what about the additional heating element in the lid, also do not breathe on the lid?

Contrived, of course
I'm talking about the discomfort of perception.

In short, I'm not the target audience for models with buttons on the lid.

- manual mode (multi-cook, multi-chef, whatever you call it) and programming up to 5 stages

Miranda, hello. I already understood about 2 stages with cottage cheese. I just never cooked it myself.
And 3 - 5 stages for which dishes might you need?

And 3 - 5 stages for which dishes might you need?

Hi
If the answer is quick, then bread or hard dough. There are at least 3 stages.
And for a long answer you need to think.

Maybe in MV-dreams and 3 would be enough. But you always want to have a little more than you need to feel the space.

Miranda, thank you for your prompt response. I still will get to the bottom of the truth and deal with these multi-stage modes. Do not be offended if at the same time I hesitate with my questions

They frightened, of course, about the buttons on the lid (about Martha), but I've been waiting for her for almost a month, because there are almost none of them in Ukraine, but I need everything that is more difficult to get.))))), And while this was waiting , I bought Shteba. I was not really told whether she would be or not. Today they called and said that it would be !!!! So, just like that, all at once the whole cultivated became!

Scared of course, about the buttons on the lid

Do not be afraid. Yes, it's not very convenient, but you can get used to Ask those who have Stadler or Panasonic MHS, or Redmond 01

or Redmond 01

Well, yes, not very convenient, but not a disaster.

But the control on the lid is convenient for me, even very much.
By the way, my mother privatized Redika 01, and she is comfortable)

And I also like who is used to it.

Oh, I didn't think
I didn't want to offend anyone, let alone scare.

If they do so, then they know what they are doing.
All OK.

Good! We've got a cartoon Shivaki SMC-8551, like a complete copy of Polaris, at a price of $ 100, what can you say?
There is also a choice of Philips HD3036 / 03 - 87 dollars, Moulinex CE 4000 32 - 125 dollars, REDMOND RMC-PM4507 - 66 dollars.
Is there anything good on this list? My husband liked Shivaki in appearance, I'll drive up to see it in the evening.

[Panochka]

Panochka, write that it is going in the same place as Polaris 517 and that it is absolutely identical to MV. I don't know how reliable this information is, but the appearance is one to one. Not to distinguish

[Panochka]

Panochka, I can only say about Moulinex CE 4000 32 this is a pressure cooker, I have been using it for 3 years, it cooks quickly, I love it dearly.

[Panochka]

Panochka, I can only say about Moulinex CE 4000 32 this is a pressure cooker, I have been using it for 3 years, it cooks quickly, I love it dearly.

Well, yes, Shivaki and Phillips are multicooker, and Mulinex is a pressure cooker. It depends on what preferences and wishes. For example, I like pressure cookers more. Manna loves multicooker more
If you choose a slow cooker, then from the listed ones I would buy Philips for myself because of the trust and respect for the brand. The forum has a topic about him. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=252891.0
If you choose a pressure cooker, then Moulinex is a worthy choice.

Polaris refined his 0517 several times. No matter how it turns out that this Shivaki is an analogue of the first version of 0517
Philips 3036 is good and Moulinex pressure cooker. Here the question is, what exactly do you need?

I'm generally at a loss that I need to melt already. I choose 2 months I wanted to Shtebu, but when they arrived it turned out that many functions are not available
Now I have again come to a choice and I am lost what I need - a cartoon or a pressure cooker
I climbed into Yandex Market and while I read about the YUMMY 507 and 506 Multicooker, prices are about 125 and 135 dollars.
Shivaki threw t to Polaris 0517 the price is almost the same, I also consider it as an acquisition.
I'm looking at Brand 6051 soon, too, the prices are different.
In general, I need functionality: baking so that porridge cooks well, a convenient calculation of a delayed start and the ability to program myself.
I don't have an oven and want a replacement.

Polaris 0517

Nice slow cooker, especially in the latest version. I said about her:

517 latest version has a step of 5 ° C to 110 ° C and a step of 10 ° C from 110-160 ° C. There is a delay in all modes. It is possible to change the time and temperature on the Multipovar and Fry during the cooking process, as in the Redmond 250. It is possible to change the time during the program execution in all modes. Sensory control for croup modes (although you can set the time, the program will end earlier if the liquid has boiled away).

Moulinex lookin and Brand 6051

Mulinex is time-tested. A good pressure cooker, simple, reliable. The brand is heaped up, but the bowl is not very convenient to use, then you will need to buy some other bowl to it. Yes ... and there is no service in Ukraine.

Yammi is a brand for the Ukrainian market.

Nice slow cooker, especially in the latest version.

How do you determine the latest version? At the end of the letter AD. There are 0527 more, what are the differences? Maybe her?

How do you determine the latest version?

The latest version is V3.0 from October 2013, everything that is later is exactly the latest version (the date can be seen on the case). She has a step of 5 ° C on the Multipovar in the range up to 110 ° C, in previous versions a step of 10 ° C, and the range itself is 35-160 ° C, in previous versions 40-160 ° C.

0527

This is a different model, but they are similar in both body and functionality. The display is backlit - blue, not orange. The set of modes is slightly different, but this is not important, there are still a lot of them. The site also writes that saving the program in case of a power failure at 17 - 2 hours, and at 27 - 20 minutes.

[What I would like.]

Good afternoon everyone!

I ask you to make a choice for a couple of minutes of your time.
At the beginning of the year I read the forum and chose the DEX-60. By that time they had already been taken out of production, bought the last one in one place, but it turned out to be defective (the timer on the double boiler did not turn on when it boiled), there was nothing to exchange for, since there were no other copies, and that was it.DEX-65 did not work well with touch programs back then, so he didn't want it.
Now the question has again become.
I looked. now we have fixed the problem in 65, but 67 appeared with a 5L bowl and accessories for deep fat, etc.
After reading the forum and deciding on the needs, I understand that one can not be enough, since a pressure cooker will also be needed to save time.

What I would like.
For soups and long-cooking dishes, I would like a pressure cooker. Well, in general, for all sorts of extinguishing, etc., probably with a larger bowl. Ideally more than 5 liters, but this is still not important, the main thing is that the device is good.
Purely cartoon, as I understand it, is needed for the preparation of various goodies, which cannot be cooked in a pressure cooker due to restrictions in the programs.
We do not cook milk porridge and baby food, but we will begin with time. But I would like to use the touch mode for buckwheat, rice or other side dishes. We need pastries for charlottes, etc. and good frying, for which Dex was actually recommended once.

What is on the market.
I live in Ukraine.
Much has changed here. If the DEX-67 has risen in price relative to the 60th in hryvnia, then many models have become more affordable and prices in hryvnia, despite the greatly increased dollar, remained the same, and in some places even fell in price.
And now the specifics.
From cartoons. Not much 67 Dex, you can take, for example, Redmond 150 or a little more expensive, but still even the 250th. There really, as I understand, there is no sensory mode, but porridge is somehow cooked. You can even catch up on the IH300 if anything, it would be good.
Over pressure cookers. It even fell in price and now became available to the body of Mulinex. Of the 110 tested Redmond, well, besides there were newer Redmonds - type 190.
There are also good as I understand multi and pressure cookers Polaris type 0124.

In general, if possible - just two words. If you can start, for example, with a universal pressure cooker, then I would like it, and then I would like to buy some magical one as usual. If not, then tell me the optimal one.

Many thanks in advance to all who have mastered and will help those in need.

P.S. Yes, Redmond, like many, was not very fond of because of the annoying price advertising, but now it has become more affordable and even top models + the widest range can be allowed.
There are no DD2 staffs in Ukraine.

Hello Sperm whale! We are fellow countrymen and I am also lost in the choice. Why do you like DEX, price / quality? Here, many advise based on the Russian market, but our prices are excellent and the price / quality may vary. I also watch myself about 1500 UAH cartoon, or soon to 2000 UAH.

Redmond 150 or slightly more expensive but still even 250. There really, as I understand, there is no sensory mode, but porridge is somehow cooked. You can even catch up on the IH300 if anything, it would be good.
Over pressure cookers. It even fell in price and now became available to the body of Mulinex. Of the 110 tested Redmond, well, besides there were newer Redmonds - type 190.
There are also good as I understand multi and pressure cookers Polaris type 0124.0

If I had made the choice, then he would have fallen (from the list that is indicated) on the Redmond 250 (individual preferences). The 300th model has problems with the moisture-proofing of the display. There are two versions of the 150th model with and without a mother, the first version is similar in functionality to the 250th model. Yes, the 250 has problems with the thermal sensor - it happens that some specimens (I don't know how much) are fantasizing on the Soup - this is a marriage.
We've already talked about Mulinex, a decent slow cooker. 110 redmond is also time-tested. Model 190 ... a simple pressure cooker with a lot of buttons / modes, I don't know how it differs fundamentally from 110.
0124 - pressure cooker with the ability to set the temperature range and cooking with an open valve.

There is a DD2 headquarters in Ukraine, only the price of it 🔗

Unfortunately Polaris PPMC 0124 is not on sale in Ukraine

[Sperm whale]

Sperm whale,
I have never used Redmond, but like 110 and 190 - these are clean pressure cookers without multicooker temperatures, like my Brand 6050. As a pressure cooker it is normal, but not universal, and this is already "yesterday". Maybe see Redmond 140?
And they all have multicooker without touch programs.
By the way, there is also an inexpensive analogue of Redmond250 - this is Supra 5201 or 5202 (two models with one gut, but different designs)

In general, in my opinion, the most versatile option is a pressure cooker with a full-fledged precision multi-cook, so that you can use multi-cook temperatures. And also, I advise manual pressure relief, it is much more convenient in terms of liquid dishes (you can let them cool down smoothly, brew before opening - the broth is more transparent, the porridge will not run away, less steam in the kitchen + saving electricity). It turns out - Shteba DD2 or Oursson, or Brand 6051, but there the bowl is not very good.
