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

[Panasonic SR-TMZ550]

Testing started today Panasonic SR-TMZ550... Who cares, please HERE

[I am beautifull,]

I am beautifull, Brand pressure cooker is good, there is nothing complicated in management, only a bowl of rubbish. Condensation does not drip from the lid when it releases the pressure itself. If forced, then water collects under the valve. You can remove it and blot the water with a napkin.

[Sapphire]

Sapphire, please tell us why you did not like the cup? Thank you.

A multicooker CuchenCJH-PA06 (analogue of Bork U801) came to me from Korea. Buttons in Korean, instructions too. It seems that the programs do not correspond to ours. And, apparently, a multi-cook can only change the time). Maybe someone who has similar ones needs help in mastering.

The idea for this model of the Redmond multicooker with the Ready for Sky function is actually very interesting, I have not yet become the owner of this, but I really want to myself. Moreover, in my family it would have taken root 100%, I spend most of my time at work and sometimes I can come home much later, I am often late, a delayed start saves me a lot, but sometimes I just don’t know when I’ll return home, so I would program it knowing in advance that I would be late and came home, and a hot dinner awaits me

[Natasha24]

Natasha24, most multicooker has a delayed start; Sky-functions are not needed for this. The forum has a topic about this model HERE.

help decide I'm looking for help for yoghurt I have two kids and I can't choose between this multicooker Polaris PMC 0514AD, 5 l, 860 W or the multicooker Brand 701 are very interested in real reviews of the owners which one should I take ???

[Annatie]

Annatie, I don't know anything about Polaris, I have the first and only (so far) multicooker - 701.
Was taken instead of a broken yogurt maker, so the main requirement was just yogurt and cottage cheese. I don't know the significant differences between Polaris and Brand, except for the size of the bowl. I can just tell you about 701, which I have been using for about 3 months.

Milk 701 fulfills perfectly. There are three sub-modes in the Yogurt mode. Yogurt itself, sour cream (not used yet), cottage cheese.

In the Yogurt sub-mode, you cannot change the temperature, but you can change the time, which by default is 6 hours. We make from dry leaven + milk. We put on the night. It turns itself off, by the time I get up, it already cools down a little. From the first sourdough I put aside the floor of the jar for the re-sourdough (I make 2 tablespoons for 2 liters of milk). The bowl is 3 liters, but the working volume is 2 liters. Our yoghurt goes very well, about 0.6 liters per day (in the morning everyone has a glass of yogurt with fiber, some in the evening). Yogurt is also very thick, so it replaces sour cream for cooking (scrambled eggs, cottage cheese casserole, in borscht, sauces from it (yogurt + squeeze garlic + herbs), etc.). Therefore, almost every night I re-leaven from the leaven that was deferred from the first leaven. Minimum 4 times, maximum 5 times. I always keep within the regime so that the yogurt set aside for over-culture does not stand for more than 5-5.5 days. Then again from a new bag of dry starter culture.

I haven't tried Sour Cream yet, but I'll do it for NG. There's a secret in milk + cream.

The cottage cheese sub-regime is also very active here. And also from dry starter cultures. I like it more than in a yogurt maker. Since in a yogurt maker it was necessary to make a water bath with your hands - a saucepan in a saucepan, watch out, etc. degrees, the second half an hour at 70 degrees. That is, it replaces a water bath. At the end, it remains only to open the lid, allow it to cool and fold it into cheesecloth.We learned to re-ferment cottage cheese - 5-10 minutes before the transition to a high temperature, we select yogurt. Perfectly re-fermented.
The time and temperature in the Curd sub-mode cannot be changed. And you don't need it.

It would be necessary to wait for reviews about Polaris, or read the topics here, compare and come to a conclusion.

A few general tips.

Both have ceramic bowls. I don’t know what quality in Polaris, but for Brand we immediately bought an additional bowl with a non-stick coating, and another plate for the lid, on the advice of the forum participants. Non-stick was determined for cooking, and in the ceramic set we make only milk. Because ceramic requires more maintenance, if you fry on it, etc., but for milk, that's it. And we also change the plates.

That is, we have a separate bowl and a separate plate for milk, since milk requires sterility. Additionally, we sterilize this way - set the Steam mode for 5-10 minutes. Then we pour out the water, and there milk + sourdough / re-sourdough.

Since you still want to cook something in a slow cooker, I would advise you to immediately buy additional. a cup to Polaris, or to Brand. Although there are many people here who do not fool so much, but cook everything in one bowl.

***
I do not know where you will buy this or that. Is there an add. buy bowls right away if you want.
At the office. Brand website 🔗 now the action - 10% discount and free delivery in Moscow. I fell under the same action, but in September. The discount came out small for me (about 100 rubles), because there was still delivery to my current city. But then I immediately bought everything I needed. Everything cost (multicooker + bowl + plate) at 3753 rubles. + delivery to my city.

Oh, I can't answer briefly

Good day! The first time I write on the forum, although I have been reading for a long time - both recipes and advice on choosing a technique. Usually everything was clear even without question. Thanks to the forum!

But now I've re-read a bunch of topics, but I can't decide on the purchase of a multicooker. Can you tell me? The price is not a decisive factor, although, of course, I simply do not want to overpay for the brand.

Desires are:

• cooking (chicken, vegetables, milk and non-dairy porridges, soup, borscht, potatoes, buckwheat porridge)
• stewing (chicken, turkey, fish, vegetables)
• jam (orange, cherry), jam (strawberry)
• cottage cheese casseroles with eggs
• cottage cheese
• baked goods (yeast, shortbread, biscuit, mannik, muffins)

The Chef mode is mandatory - setting your temperature and time.

It is also imperative that the yeast dough in it can be distanced, and then baked in the oven. Do you need Dough mode for this? Or you can get by with a Chef? (Those multicooker, about which I read in detail, had a Chef only from 70 to 160 degrees. So it will not work for proofing.)

We also probably need a convenient lid - we are cramped, so sometimes you will have to cook in a multicooker right in the room. I wish there was no particularly strong steam and puddles when opening the lid. Which cover to choose - removable, non-removable or some other?

Well, and the most difficult thing for me in my search. You need a multicooker, for which you can buy high-quality steel (non-rusting) spare bowls. I would like to have both ceramic coated and steel ones. Well, or just steel. By the way, is it possible to whisk eggs and dough with a whisk in steel ones before putting the bowl in a slow cooker? (I absolutely do not want Teflon - I have several baking dishes with Teflon that peeled off terribly quickly at the bottom, although I treated them "kindly" - I did not whip anything in them, did not cut with a knife, did not pick with a fork).

Can I find a multicooker as I want? Or such a "miracle-wonderful" is not yet produced? Then what "Wishlist" is worth giving up?

Oh, I forgot - the volume is bigger. 4.5 or 5 liters.

[Anya]

Anya, Shteba DD2 fits your Wishlist. But this is a pressure cooker.

[Ann-Anya]

Ann-Anya, my Redmond 150 does everything you say, but you can only bake in a ceramic bowl - with a steel bowl, the Baking program does not start (checked). You can whip in a steel bowl, but you won't be able to bake. And yet, in this CF there is no drip tray - so far the only drawback that I have found at the moment.

[quince]

quince, Thank you! As soon as I read your message, I immediately went to the multivarka website and read about the Redmond M150 - really, what I need! Immediately (on the 11th in the evening) I ordered them and they were already delivered to me yesterday."Them" - because I ordered two at once. I hope to cook a lot in them. And in two at the same time. Now I sit and understand the instructions. Once again - thank you quince, huge!

Strange ... Why go to another forum if there is a topic about this model. And if that forum is more credible, why did they come here for advice?

[too much]

Manna, the fact is that on that multicooker forum too much... ... Pick up something reading everything in a row ... But having received advice here, you can hit the road there and read in more detail (this is if there was not enough information here) .. In fact, I got the impression that there is now everyone forces march spinning ... ...

Not so long ago I bought a redmond 250 model multicooker, I am happy with it, no complaints. But if I was choosing what to buy now, I would have taken a new model from Redmond red for sky (sorry for my English)). I will explain why such a choice is a new, multifunctional model, and most importantly, the remote control function, which, in my opinion, is very convenient. Therefore, I am for progress))

remote control function, which, in my opinion, is very convenient

Can you explain exactly what the convenience is?

I can, remote control is carried out through a mobile application in which recipes can be saved. And it turns out that having previously saved a recipe of any complexity, it can be prepared later by pressing only one button, why not convenience?) All functions are described in the phone, and you will not need to understand the panel structure. There is no need to treat my message so negatively, I did not impose anything on anyone, I shared my impression, and that's it.

what is the negative then? trying to figure out a new model?

having previously saved a recipe of any complexity, it can be prepared later by pressing only one button, why not convenience?

Yeah, you don't need to lay food, and you don't need to go to the multicooker. Everything is remotely, why not convenience?

Not quite correctly put it. I just said in advance that there was no negative - that this is my subjective opinion.

Don't be so negative about my message

There was no negative in my question. I'm still trying to understand what is the convenience of using bluetooth communication in managing a multicooker. I myself do not find advantages, so I torture those who see these conveniences with questions.

Yeah, you don't need to lay food, and you don't need to go to the multicooker. Everything is remotely, why not convenience?

I do not quite understand what your sarcasms are. I personally find it convenient not to set the same settings every time

I'm still trying to understand what is the convenience of using bluetooth communication in managing a multicooker. I myself do not find advantages, so I torture those who see these conveniences with questions.

Well, I think here already to each his own, I like this innovation, I would not mind trying it out)

do not mind trying

Haaa! I don't mind trying it either. But will I then use it? Wouldn't it be easier to "poke buttons" on the device than to climb into the application?
And I also don't understand about very complex recipes saved in the application. Which ones? And what exactly will be saved?

In addition, very complex recipes require, as a rule, a consistent and time-consuming laying of products. Well, why, then, remote control?

there are dishes for which the standard settings are not always suitable, and sometimes I correct them myself, and in order not to bother myself with these nuances, they can be saved in the application settings. something like this

Girls, so this is another assRLanets from Re.
How tired they are!

[valushka-s]

valushka-s, do you really think that we have even a shadow of doubt?

Girls, this is another asshole from Re.

I thought that the topic was created to express my own opinion, which, in fact, I did. If it coincided with the opinion of the majority, then it is necessary to suspect me of something? I did not advertise anything, I have known the company not so long ago, so far only positive impressions. I don't understand why so categorically

[Anastasiyushka]

Anastasiyushka,

so this is another asshole from Re.

cooking a complex recipe with the touch of one button in your smartphone is five!

Well, I do not know, I recently chose a multicooker, I also looked with interest at the Wi-Fi functions. True, those manufacturers from which I chose did not have this, so the interest remained unsatisfied. But the opportunity itself, it seems to me, can be useful - as they wrote above, when a person does not know when he will return home.

[Anastasiyushka,]

Anastasiyushka, I was interested in your message. Tell me, which dish in your opinion is difficult?
I have an assumption that your culinary experience is not very large (due to your age). Therefore, the "difficulty" for you and for many here on the forum will be different.
What dishes do you plan to cook remotely?

Nyctalus, interesting and your opinion. What kind dishes and as can I cook remotely?

People ... Excuse me, but I even turn on the washing machine only during the day and the whole cycle is near, in the sense of home ... away from sin ... And then turn on, roughly speaking, an electric frying pan and steer it at a distance ... Yes, I would have the roof moved down until I got to the house ...

I thought that the topic was created to express my own opinion, which, in fact, I did.

Nastya, in this thread they usually ask for help in choosing a multicooker, pressure cooker, rice cooker, at the docks and people who know the technique! That is, they ask a question and receive an answer, consultation, user opinion. They select a device suitable for the needs of a certain person, or a certain family. But they do not advertise any particular technique!
If you want to talk-speculate about remote control carried out through a mobile application, then you can do this in the topic REDMOND M800S SkyCooker, with those who are interested in this model.
There is still a topic Multicooker Redmond RMC-250 ,
The first days with a multicooker. Reviews of multicooker and their operation , and many more interesting topics on our forum.

Sveta, and I constantly use delayed start. In the morning, I throw food into the multicooker while she cooks at work. In the evening I come home, dinner is already heated or in my stomachs. Maybe I'm calm because I have a good SVEN distributor with a switch at each outlet, if something with the light (for example, a jump) turns off.

interesting and your opinion. What dishes and how can you cook remotely?

Something simple, like boiled or baked potatoes, maybe dry mushrooms. Before leaving, I put it in a saucepan, when you go / go home - I turned on the multicooker remotely. Something like this. During the day, raw potatoes or soaked mushrooms should not go bad.

Larssevsk, this is a little different ... Especially if there is a normal wiring, automatic machines, etc., etc. You dropped everything, poked the buttons, checked everything and left (although it's still dumb ... well, here is such a hello from the past , when the whole family went to work together, some went to school and left a pot of soup on the stove on ... hmm ...). Well, this is the upbringing (dad was a fireman) - when leaving home, turn off all electrical appliances (except for the refrigerator, of course ...).
And then, sitting somewhere, she poked and she kind of turned on ... Well, if it just didn't turn on, but if it glitched or shorted out even worse?

And then, sitting somewhere, she poked and she kind of turned on ... Well, if it just didn't turn on, but if it glitched or shorted out even worse?

Well, I've been joking about this very "necessary" function for a long time.All arguments of forum innovators and lovers of advanced technologies just smile

Well, someone has finally come up with such a slow cooker so that she would throw everything down and press the necessary button and set the table for your arrival, that's what I understand advanced technologies !!!

Larssevsk
Delait,

Something simple, like boiled or baked potatoes, maybe dry mushrooms. Before leaving, I put it in a saucepan, when you go / go home - I turned on the multicooker remotely. Something like this. During the day, raw potatoes or soaked mushrooms should not go bad.

But this does not require an expensive multicooker at all !!! Any MV with a delayed start can do all this! We pledged food in advance, chose a mode and set a delay. All!

[Shelena]

Shelena, I do not know if they are expensive or not, I came across an article, there were listed several manufacturers, but not those among which I chose, because I was not interested in prices. But the idea itself seemed interesting to me. Delayed start is if you know by what time you should be ready; and if you come home either at eight, or at ten - then, probably, remote control would not hurt.
But I repeat: I’m purely theoretical, I haven’t tried it myself and I don’t plan.

It seems to me that nobody has tried it yet.
But if you analyze the possible dishes for the preparation of food, you will understand that there are very few of them. And it is easier to cook them with a delayed start, and then they will wait on the "Heating" as long as required.
And one more thing: a slow cooker would fit your needs.

[Shelena]

Shelena, I bought a pressure cooker. Mulinexovskaya. So far I like her, but she doesn't like me.

I have an assumption that your culinary experience is not very large (due to your age). Therefore, the "difficulty" for you and for many here on the forum will be different.

I cannot but agree with you, I really don't have much experience, but I cook with a multicooker in general for 3 months only. Making a cupcake is already a big deal for me. But experience doesn't come right away?) And we all learn. I appreciated this function of the multicooker from the point of view of practicality and progress, because it does not stand still, and some innovations are always introduced that are still interesting to try. Here is this innovation - remote control, I took it that way. I can't say how it is in practice, but I wanted to try. That's all)

["Anastasiyushka" - "Arina"]

Arina, I'm just thinking about this model

"Anastasiyushka" - "Arina"and how does it feel to be in public with yourself?
Although this is certainly far from news - it is not the first year that Redmond marketers have taken people for idiots. They hire for a pittance "home workers" who are "promoting" this brand on forums in this way. In this case, the performer was from Mariupol, his name is Lesya, the surname begins with "G", I will not voice it publicly

[Natasha24]

Natasha24, most multicooker has a delayed start; Sky-functions are not needed for this. The forum has a topic about this model HERE.

But I meant that delayed start and Ready for Sky are completely different things! Yes, I agree the delayed start is just great, but imagine. You, for example, went on business, loaded the necessary products into the multicooker and postponed the start for 3 hours. Then the husband calls and says that he is free and will soon go home for lunch. At the same time, you realize that nothing is ready yet. Then you can use your smartphone and the Ready for Sky function to reprogram your multicooker to any period of time convenient for you. And that's it, voila, dinner is ready, my husband is happy. Well, you must admit that sometimes we just need such know-how, what do you think?

Offtopic.

Now I am choosing a blender instead of a broken one (it worked for 5 years).
Redmond was so disgusted by his policy that when the seller began to forcefully impose this company on me, she almost yelled in response - just not that. Without even looking. You should have seen the face of the seller (media mark), and he really wanted Redmond.

But apparently, according to marketers, the opposite effect is not significant.

You should have seen the face of the seller (media mark), and he really wanted Redmond.

Are they getting paid extra for the redmonds? I left the store with a scandal, where I wanted to see the Mulinexes, and the seller followed me with his tail and just demanded that I watch the redmonds, then started broadcasting how much the redmonds are better, and when I tried to shut him up (she said that this information is not interesting to me and asked not to follow me anymore) - refused to shut up and announced that he would tell me everything anyway. I still regret that I just left, and did not complain to their administrator or some other bosses, this is just some rudeness.

Well, you must admit that sometimes we just need such a know-how, what do you think?

I find this hypothetical situation very hypothetical - it can happen once or twice a year. I would rather choose a multicooker for its direct functions than, if possible, remote control, which I may need "once in a hundred years", and how much this model fulfills its direct responsibilities, we still do not know. But this is, of course, IMHO.

In general ... virgins, if someone is interested in this model, go to the profile topic. So, Redmond has already flooded the topic of choosing multicooker.
