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

[Manna]

Manna, it will not replace this is understandable) but there is no opportunity to buy a good oven) so the choice fell on a multicooker)
In addition, I dream of cooking pilaf for the last few months, and for this I also take a slow cooker)
Thanks for the advice)) just if some of them were cheaper, I probably would have figured out what to do faster, but now it’s just on Dex 55 and 65, as well as on Phillips 3036 and 37, and they basically have one price, so I got confused) and the action probably not in vain for these identical multicooker)

[Lena]

Lena, there are no perfect multicooker, each one has jambs or, at least, individual inconveniences in use. So ... whatever you choose, don't think that you can find the ideal. I am warning you of disappointment.

[Manna]

Manna, thanks to me, it's just insanely difficult to choose even a toothbrush) and yesterday I spent the whole evening reading about multicooker, only got confused more)
can you ask the last question? I cooked a couple of times in Dex 60, there is such a solid thick bowl, when I touched the bowl of Dex 65, I was a little disappointed, because it was lighter. Does it have any effect? want no burning) Phillips has a thicker bowl? or are they basically identical to each other?

[Lena]

Lena, by and large, it is not the weight of the bowl that is important, but the durability of its coating. As for the heating of the bowl, the multicooker is tuned exactly to the bowl that is included in the kit, therefore there are some deviations in the operation of the modes, if the bowl has a different conductivity.

[Manna]

Manna, thank you for your answers)

Hello, tell me, please, which multicooker - pressure cooker is better to choose? I am thinking about Steba DD2 and Oursson 5015. Maybe you can tell me something else from the multicooker-pressure cookers. A cartoon is required, at least 5 liters, powerful (so that it quickly builds up pressure), the price is not important, the main quality is so that you can buy it once and enjoy the purchase in the coming years. Thank you very much in advance.

Requires a cartoon, at least 5L, powerful (to quickly gain pressure)

Multicooker is not gaining pressure. Pressure cookers build up pressure.
These are different devices.

Girls, I really need your help in choosing a little mule. Stopped at Redmond 01 or M13. The first one seems too small, only for cereals. Although I looked, there are more reviews on it. And model 13 is more functional, a little more powerful and a bowl of more suitable sizes. You can already cook complete meals. But there are very few reviews on it. I look at them and don't know which one to stop at. Please develop your doubts.

If you already stopped at Redmond, then look at something more modern, such as M12, I myself was staring at it, but decided that I had nothing to do with the little one.
And there are a lot of positive reviews about her.

Multicooker is not gaining pressure. Pressure cookers build up pressure.
These are different devices.

Please read the entire message. I asked for help with choosing a multicooker - a pressure cooker (further there was only a little additional information, so as not to write a multicooker again - the abbreviation was used in the pressure cooker). Thanks, of course, for the clarification, but it did not help me with the choice.

I came to tell you about the purchase
After a long reading of the topic of choice and after reading the tips, we decided to buy dd2
The price was 8600 for comfort plus a removable bowl was about 10,000
Literally in two days everywhere the price jumps to 10 thousand in the standard configuration
The toad strangled me
We took the money and went to the shopping center on the spot to touch and buy and finally close this issue
We arrived in Babylon, there on the upper level of hypertechnics ...I don't remember like a medmarket
We were not even allowed to look ... The consultants flew in one by one
I said to one, thanks, we will choose ourselves
The second
But people don't seem to understand
One madam made a wry face and stood a meter away from us and was listening
I imagined that she did not and began to discuss the thicket of Multi with her husband ... So she got into the conversation in a brazen one. ... I invited my husband to leave there
But while there they paid attention to the Redmond model for 8 or 9 thousand
Let's go to OK for groceries, and there is a promotion on Multi
If that I'm not a representative of Redmond)))))))) and I myself refused to choose their models from la imposing them everywhere
But the price did its job
Rmc m4510 for 3240 ... The initial price was like 6900 (the one in the media market was about 9), there was an m90 model for 6900 and m250 for 7900 it seems
I thought the m90 was a popular model .. But in 4510 you can change the temperature and time during the work of the master chef
Did my husband buckwheat porridge work great
Made a honey cake from Multi, it turned out cool biscuit, custard cream on the stove
Steamed vegetables are excellent ... I wanted a double boiler - a great cartoon with a double boiler
But the pilaf hmm
In the recipe, all together in a saucepan and for 35 minutes on a mode
But I read that it is better still meat onions and carrots on a frying and then rice and water and on the rice mode
Fried, put in half the rice - the same amount of water as for the recipe
Began to release steam like a double boiler
How I felt I looked in as the steam decreased ... The time of about 5 minutes has passed, almost all the water has boiled away
And the rice was half cooked
I added water and reduced the std program to 10 minutes - delicious ... but did not understand the proportion of water-rice
I got 250 rice and 650 little water
Pysy immediately bought a replacement bowl with Teflon (complete with ceramics), glass jars for yoghurt, a silicone lid.
A little later I want a steel bowl and a ham
Pysy2 there are no topics for this cartoon, can I create it or do the moderators do it?

Hello, tell me, please, which multicooker - pressure cooker is better to choose? I am thinking about Steba DD2 and Oursson 5015.

If that I'm not special
But the staff has very good reviews and the topic is big, there are many proven recipes
The price toad strangled me to her

Thank you, otherwise I was already tired of choosing ...

Girls, tell me a pressure cooker for 2 liters. So far I have only found REDBER 205. Maybe there are still similar ones?

Girls!!! Please help with the choice!
Given, at the local flea market, the Italians sell quite a bit of a pressure cooker, the manufacturer is not known yet (they will look at it at home and write it) It's clear that the owners don't know about any pressure drops and other subtleties, in my opinion they don't know what it is at all, as they call it a double boiler.
The price is ridiculous, I'll go look at it.
And what should you pay attention to and what to check?
I understand the coating of the bowl, but what else?
In principle, I never wanted and was a little afraid of pressure cookers, but after reading the enthusiasm of many about Shteb, I began to dream of her, and here these Italians with their tempting price.

[Vika]

Vika, and the Italians cannot take a picture of it and drop it by mail, and you are already here. Suddenly it really is a double boiler.

[Vasilica]

Vasilica, They show the photo. How would I have guessed then that this is still not only a double boiler. But you can't look at the firm in any way, and which Progs are also not visible. Well, they answered that they cook under pressure and quickly.
I want to wait for an answer with the name of the manufacturer and find out if there is an instruction in French or English. Because I don’t want to mess with the Italian language.
Well, if everything is ok, I'll go look ... but how to check it?

If you just boil the water and see if the steam is poisoning from where, whether it holds the pressure.

[Elizabeth]

ElizabethSo install Prog Wark? and the steam should not come out of nowhere?
And how do you know if the pressure is holding?
I apologize for the stupid questions.

The name of the company can be about nothing at all. But the instruction is sensible - it's already good.
And check, well, turn on, press the buttons. If there is such an opportunity, then of course it would be ideal to check how the pressure is gaining, whether steam is leaking. There you need to pour a little water, preferably hot, so that it will fill up faster.

So I say, ask for a photo of the prog closer, maybe the girls will decipher it here. We also recognized Chinese (or Korean) and even translated them. What a forum.

Pour some water into it and drive it in different modes. Check if all modes are working, if all settings are adjustable, etc. When cooking under pressure, the pressure cooker first hovers quite actively, then shuts down and releases steam only slightly. Steam must be vented exclusively through the valves, not from the side under the cover. Something like that, I guess.

Well, you can cook, you can do anything where the lid is blocked. Pour a glass and a half of water there and turn it on. Only the valve must be closed (this is different for different models). Water will boil, steam will begin to accumulate in the bowl - it will whistle or hiss from the hole with the valve (this is normal), then when the steam pressure becomes enough to raise the float valve, the pressure cooker will whistle shshshuuup and will stop whistling))))) ( when typing, a ball in the valve may thunder, it all depends on its design). Then you need to look at whether it is etching anywhere, whether it hovers around the lid .. The program can be forcibly stopped (if the valve is mechanical) or wait until the end, then the pressure cooker will open it and let off steam. All)))))
Everyone has already answered)))

[Vasilica]

Vasilica, Nyctalus, Bes7vetrov,
Girls, thank you all very much! Prod is silent for now ... let's see ...

tell me a pressure cooker for 2 liters. So far I have only found REDBER 205. Maybe there are still similar ones?

There are no two more pressure cookers. But if not very urgent, then you can wait for a kopeck piece from Brand. They kind of wanted to release it, but last year it didn't work out. Perhaps this year they will succeed.

🔗
Girls! Here's what kind of pressure cooker an Italian has, they wrote it out from China (his friend is like a Chinese woman). They used it very little, they leave for Italy and don't want to carry it with them, they seem to buy what they need on the spot.
Look at the pliiiz ... how are the characteristics? tolerant?

[Manna]

There are no two more pressure cookers. But if not very urgent, then you can wait for a kopeck piece from Brand. They kind of wanted to release it, but last year it didn't work out. Perhaps this year they will succeed.

Manna, Thank you, Mannochka! I saw that there was still a small Borkovskaya pressure cooker, but the price was completely inhumane. But I just don't want to take a multicooker, since I tried the pressure cooker - I won't refuse)

Hello again everyone!
Phillips was used as a gift. So it was not possible to taste it. But the owners seem to be happy. Apparently the fate of buying two bread machines and two multicooker ...
Now for ourselves, and only for ourselves, therefore we will double the price tag - 8500 and so. There are bread makers, blenders and other microwave ovens, so you need a multicooker with a wide field of activity.

What I want: Steam cooking, Yogurt cooking, Frying, Pilaf cooking, Deep frying, Milk porridge cooking, Jellied meat, 3D heating, multi-cook or its variations. But options are possible, see below.

What I choose from: Philips VitaPlus HD3158 / 03, Panasonic SR-TMS520KTQ, Redmond RMC-250, Redmond RMC-M150.

Redmond - captivates with the presence of all the bells and whistles and a good complete set with a deep fat basket and other things.
Philips - apparently no deep fat, plus poor equipment: only a plastic steaming bowl, a measuring cup and a book. But he makes some kind of drinks and preserves vitamins, supposedly, but some kind of nanoceramic coating of the bowl ...
Panasonic - no 3d heating, multi-cook, power is not enough, but the self-cleaning function and the equipment are richer than Philips.

In general, I ask for advice in choosing aka local pros at the hall!

Steam cooking, Yogurt cooking, Frying, Pilaf cooking, Deep frying, Milk porridge cooking, Jellied meat, 3D heating, multi-cook or its variations.

All this can be done by each of the selected multicooker. But Frying is possible at least at 150 ° C, and better at 180 ° C. Panasonic never had such temperatures. Phillips has 145-150 ° C on the Fry. Redmond has up to 170 ° C.
Jellied meat, Steaming, Pilaf, Porridge can be absolutely any multicooker. All four multicooker are capable of Frying, Panasonic has the softest.
Everyone except Panasonic has a multi-cook, Rkdmond has it more maneuverable. Usually a multi-cook is needed where the capabilities of the main modes are limited or they are mismatched.
ZD-heating is a tiny heating element in the lid that slightly reduces the amount of condensation on the lid when baking. Is this really a criterion for you to choose?

Redmond - captivates with the presence of all the bells and whistles and a good complete set with a deep fat basket and other things.

Do you really need deep fat and a basket for it that badly? Will you really use it? Or will all this "good equipment" lie in a box or gather dust somewhere and take up space? I can say about myself. I only use a measuring cup from the set and very rarely a steam basket. And since I have a lot of multicooker, all baskets and measuring cups and other equipment are simply stored in one box, which I could use with something else ...
Redmond is convenient in that you can buy additional bowls, the inner lid plates are removable (easier to wash).
The bells and whistles in management? Yes, it is sometimes convenient to change the temperature / time during the cooking process, but there are not many such cases. Redmond does not have touch modes (for liquid evaporation). Panasonic is famous for these modes.

Philips - apparently no deep fat, plus poor equipment: only a plastic steaming bowl, a measuring cup and a book. But he makes some kind of drinks and preserves vitamins, supposedly, but some kind of nanoceramic coating of the bowl ...

Deep-frying at Philips is also possible - it has 150 ° C - the minimum threshold for deep-frying. I have not seen the bowl of this particular model, but I suppose it is the same as that of the 3095 - the bowl is excellent, I really like it, with handles (they do not heat up during the operation of the multicooker), it washes great. It comes with a double steam basket / steam rack, collapsible, like the 3095. Drinks can be prepared in any of these 4 multicooker. Vitamins ... this is a publicity stunt. All multicooker is similar in this.

Panasonic - no 3d heating, multi-cook, power is not enough, but the self-cleaning function and the equipment are richer than Philips.

I have already spoken about 3D, multi-cook. Self-cleaning ... but it is not needed - this is the same steaming, only more intense, say, select the 110 ° C mode and pour water into a bowl - that's self-cleaning. The point is that the fixed lid is intensively "cleaned" by steam. The only advantage of the package is that there is a silicone ladle, although if it is the same as in the 550, it is not very convenient. Buy yourself some comfortable silicone spoons, ladles, and scoops anyway. What else? Plastic containers for yogurt? I can't speak for everyone, but I don't make yoghurt in plastic, only in glass. Therefore, I personally do not need such wealth. I have not seen the bowl in this model, I cannot say anything about it. The lid opens to the right - this is not convenient for me personally, although many have adapted. She has a drip tray. The steam basket is two-level.

[Manna]

Manna, and the new Panasonic 550, 540 will probably cope with deep fat. There, in the Steak mode, he grinds hoo.

[Manna]

Manna,
Thanks for the detailed answer!

3d is desirable, deep frying is mandatory (the deep fat fryer has just died), for a couple of manti and cutlets - it is necessary, maybe with an "iron" mantle (mante cooker) sometimes it is stupidly lazy to mess around with a gas stove not only for me, but for my girlfriend ... self-cleaning is really possible and unnecessary ...As I understand it, you can use third-party dishes to prepare yogurt? Are there glass jars? Then their presence in the kit is not so important, although it is desirable - because the kit is a kit, and that's it.

But still, what kind of multicooker would you, as an expert, recommend, given the same prices?

and the new Panasonic 550, 540 will probably cope with deep fat. There, in the Steak mode, he grinds hoo.

I don't know the exact temperatures on the Steak at 550, but 150 ° C is not there. I can only compare with Bork 600 - a steak in it at 140-145 ° C fries a little faster than in a 550 Panasonic.

for a couple of manty and cutlets - a must, maybe with an "iron" mantle (mantle cooker) sometimes it's stupidly lazy to tinker with a gas stove not only for me, but also for my girlfriend

Will you have enough four cutlets and mantusas for a couple?

As I understand it, you can use third-party dishes to prepare yogurt? Are there glass jars?

Of course, this is exactly what I do.

what kind of multicooker would you, as an expert, recommend, at the same prices?

None. Firstly, it is possible to advise a specific model only if all the models from which they are selected were in use (I am not talking about situations where the choice is simply due to the requirements for the choice, when only one model can be advised, because that others simply do not meet these requirements). I haven't had any of them in use. Secondly, even of those multicooker that I have in use in one price category, I would not be able to advise one - this is purely a matter of personal preference. That did not work out for me with Panasonic, but this does not mean that he is worse than Phillips. It just didn't work out for me with him. And for someone else, this would be the perfect slow cooker. Do you understand what I mean? Therefore, I will not recommend a specific model.

[Manna]

Manna,
It will be enough for us.

Do you understand what I mean?

I see. Therefore, I am waiting for more opinions ...

[Manna]

Manna, you just Bravo!)

deep frying required

If this is so important, then it is better to take a deep fryer.
As I understand the multi-cooker principle of operation, the possibility of using such an aggressive program should be limited, due to the fact that these are, after all, different devices. Such a high temperature, IMHO, in the future can negatively affect both the CF itself and the bowl.
I say this purely hypothetically, but for some reason I am sure of it. I would not expose any MV to such heating, even with such a declared regime.

3d is desirable, deep frying is mandatory (the deep fat fryer has just died), for a couple of manti and cutlets - it is necessary, maybe with an "iron" mantle (mante cooker) sometimes it is stupidly lazy to mess around with a gas stove not only for me, but for my girlfriend ... self-cleaning is really possible and unnecessary ... As I understand it, you can use third-party dishes to prepare yoghurt? Are there glass jars? Then their presence in the kit is not so important, although it is desirable - because the kit is a kit, and that's it.

I myself recently chose a multicooker. To be honest, I chose only from Redmond, there now in all the latest models there is both deep fat and a container for steaming and 3d heating. If you put glassware on yogurt, then you need to spread a towel so as not to scratch the bowl. But you can also buy special ones with a marker, the price is 400 rubles. I chose skycooker myself, but I don’t know, I just wanted it.

I would not expose any CF to such heating, even with such a declared mode

It is somehow illogical not to use the regular mode. In theory, that is why it is a regular mode, that the device is designed for its use.

designed for its use

How to say ... For example, in many bread makers "normal mode" - jam, preserves, etc. Only this "normal mode" deteriorates the coating of the bucket. No, well, this is also a "good" - more often they will buy new ones bowls buckets ...

[Manna]

Manna, if the device deteriorates from using its normal modes, then this is a bad device made by a bad manufacturer, no? Next time I would choose a different manufacturer.
I made jam in my HP, I didn't seem to notice any special problems with the bucket, hmm. True, I do not use it very actively, maybe I need to cook and bake a lot often to notice the changes.

In theory, that's why he and the regular mode

In theory, yes, but in practice it is more expensive.

It has long been known the more functions different devices combined in one, so much the worse.

[Thank you all for your advice!]

Thank you all for your advice!

I chose the redmond 250, because where I always order, the 150 model is old for the same price, that is, without the 2014 upgrade. In the end, only 250 and Phillips liked in appearance, but Redmond is somehow more functional, whatever one may say, even if it is more expensive for it - it's not a pity, that's why it is. As in the case with the bread maker, then maybe I'll post photos, and successful recipes, and so on.

As for deep frying ... I take a slow cooker to use everything that is stated in the instructions. Otherwise, as advised RepeShock, I would buy a new deep fryer, which is not interesting to me at the moment, because I am aiming at another purchase - a multifunctional multicooker, which, I hope, for its quite high price and will do everything that it promises ...
Correctly said, if it does not take it out, it is a bad model / manufacturer, therefore, then I will buy another one for replacement, not a problem. Here I have a car on the machine. It has been said that it is reduced here. Yes nafig I would need it if the gear lever cannot be moved to the appropriate position at will and used the declared normal mode?

StupidBlond thanks for the advice about the towel)

Nyctalus yes, I also used jam / preserves in my bread maker, I even left the recipes on this site, along with bread recipes ... I did not notice any damage to the bowl from berries and sugar.

It seems to me that a bowl of 250 will very quickly deteriorate from deep fat ...

No, well, if you start comparing MV with a spaceship, then it will generally be just a saucepan with a wire))))

Apparently, only those who really understand and know how to cook in CF understood me) and understands about the bowl coating, the quality of the plastic, adequate cooking modes, etc. subtleties.
But, of course, better is personal experience, the son of difficult mistakes.
)))))

[Ofeliya]

Ofeliya, thanks for the opinion! But since I heard many opposite ones, I will not change the order. In the end, it's a pleasure to buy something, especially what you liked at first sight, to learn new things ...)))

[Irish]

When a man asks for "advice" from a woman, he does not expect her truth and her experience from her, he expects her to agree with his choice. Although often women do the same ...

Yes, Irish, I would also not use a multicooker, especially with a ceramic bowl, for deep fat, and even use metal nets ... But everyone gains their own experience. We can only warn and share our experience.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has heard of the Kitchenaid multicooker? I accidentally saw on the site
🔗
that's all. Life is not nice to me now :) I have Cook4me and Panasonic 18, but it's all wrong now :) There is a video on YouTube and a few positive reviews for the officers. site, and so silence.

[Anastasia]

Anastasia, we just discussed once, but I have not heard anything from real users

[Anastasia]

Anastasia, we just discussed once, but I have not heard anything from real users

Manna, thanks, and I leafed through that topic, leafed through, and never leafed through, did not find it. Okay, I'll dream :)

But since I have heard many opposite ones, I will not change the order.

You don't need to change the order. Replacement bowls are on sale

Hello, I choose the first slow cooker, my brain is already boiling (like everyone, probably, who is for the first time)))) I want a budget option, well, so if I don’t like something, I’m not sorry, because I don’t understand yet if I need it in general - I also like to cook at the stove))) Thousands up to 5, probably ...Conditions: 5L bowl, be sure to cook soups and milk porridge, bake casseroles, preferably to fry well. If with a low temperature regime (30-35 g, as I understand it for yoghurts, fermented baked milk, etc., right?) Is generally fine, but not necessary. The main thing is to keep it simple, throw in the food, leave, come - everything is ready. And so that porridge would wait for breakfast in the morning. Such wishlist
I liked the Supra, the reviews seem to be good, I seem to have already decided. Then yesterday I saw Steba, first it caught fire, then how I read it - all these pressure and temperature adjustments ... my brain went completely crazy
In general, I will be very grateful for any advice!

[rykovskaya]

rykovskaya, Shteba is good))) Beautiful and smart. And the brain is not particularly necessary there, everything is VERY clear, honest. This is my first cartoon, I am not overjoyed at it. There would be still the same, but smaller

wow 453 pages!
I now have the simplest cartoon Scarlet without baking, for a year or two. The thing is necessary! so I'm thinking about buying a new fancy one.
Please advise a good model (4 or 5 liters) - functional and high-quality, with an optimal ratio of price (savings are welcome) and quality

Since Shteba 2 is not in our country, I stopped at Brand 6051, I am very pleased with the purchase.
All the characteristics that I wanted to have in the pressure cooker are, I cook with pleasure.
Many thanks to all forum participants for the recommendations and advice, they were very valuable to me.
