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

[Ally]

Ally, ABOUT! I hope you love him as much as I do
Good luck!

[Miranda]

Miranda, Thank you! I hope so :)
I just wanted to clarify one point: does Brand cook in the "cereal" mode at a given time or until the liquid has completely evaporated? I didn't quite understand something, as I saw in the modes that express, standard and pilaf differ in cooking time. So the time is fixed there?

and in the "cereal" mode Brand cooks for a given time or until the liquid has completely evaporated?

As far as I know, before the liquid evaporates, in the topic about the multicooker, people cook pasta on Krupa 1, because the liquid evaporates.

I have determined for myself that 1 for buckwheat and other non-running cereals, 2 for rice, millet and other running cereals, 3 for pilaf. When pilaf, then first fry vegetables, meat, then rice on top, add water and groats 3.

For all 3, the program did a different amount of cereals, well, when buckwheat 1 glass, when 2-2.5, and rice with millet different quantities as needed, and pilaf a different amount, since the remains of meat are always different, when for the evening only, when I do dinner for two. I didn't time the time, I don't know how different it is, when the quantity of products is different, but every time the result was good, without water.

If you needed dry buckwheat, that is, slightly cooked, for further cooking with it, then 1.5 glasses of water were poured into 1 glass of cereal. If as a side dish, then 2 glasses of water.

[Miranda]

Miranda, now it's clear, thank you again for the explanation!

Please help me choose a multicooker.
It is necessary to cook vegetables / meat / fish / fruits for the baby every day.
Then, so that she (plus mom and dad) cook milk porridge and thick soups. Also every day.
It is also advisable to prepare yoghurts.

It is important that everything is tasty and practical and quickly cleaned / washed. The price is not that important.

Since I have been using a Panasonic bread machine for many years, I am thinking about a multicooker from the same company. While intuitive.

The price is not that important.

If the price is not important, buy a double boiler, a yogurt maker and a multicooker (the same Panasonic, if you have loyalty to the brand. Very good multicooker). Why all in one bowl and milk and meat and cereals and soups? And while the yogurt is being made, you can't cook anything else. And you will quickly get into the taste

Everything will take up a lot of space.

And from Panasonic who cooks porridge and steam well?

Good = tasty and in a guaranteed time without incident.

My husband and I cook meat in the oven, I don't like soup. But my daughter needs all sorts of different things, both with saving time and for some time (when we come from a walk, etc.).

[Ulyana]

Ulyana, old time-tested Panasonic perfectly cook porridge, but they do not have a "yogurt" function. This function is present in the new Panasonic SR-TMZ550 and SR-TMZ540, but in my opinion they had some kind of a jamb, although it is possible that either I am mistaken, or it was eliminated. Here's about them Temka:
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=396446.0... Sorry for Manna. She'd better tell.
And I recommend Philips 3095 to everyone. There is an excellent saucepan, an excellent double boiler, from which you can make both the upper and the lower, a removable lid, pre-heating shutdown, there is a yogurt function and everything you need. But, as they say, each sandpiper praises its swamp
Here's a description: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=397367.0

Good stove 3095, it turns out that it is better than Panasonic 550.
Thank you, I will think and watch!

In principle, I am still happy with the appliances from Bosch (kettle, washing machine, dishwasher, cooker and hood), Neff (oven) and Brown (blender, hairdryer), Medel (but this is generally our mother's), but in my opinion none of them are multicooker releases.

[Ulyana,]

Ulyana,I, too, completely and completely agree with the opinion Chests... The latest Philips models are simply amazing in terms of the quality of the dishes they prepare and everything else. I almost have one, but only a little more. There are 3 bowls to her, which are constantly busy. I really like it. Since June, I have not looked at anything else, although I have changed the cartoons quite often.
There is also a Panasonic 550, but I only cook compotes in it. So...

[Rituslya]

Rituslya, and what is your Philips model?
Did you buy additional bowls? What are you using?

And how to understand who the latest models are?

And how to understand who the latest models are?

the latest Phillips models are devices with two heating elements. Take a look at the official website. There are a lot of models.
I have Phillips 3197. The same as Larochka, but for 5 liters.
Bowls, yes, I bought them. The native bowl is thick-walled with handles, the second is simply thick-walled, and the third bowl is for all 5-liter models. I cook a lot of things: pilaf, cereals, pastries, side dishes, yogurt. But I admit that I don't cook especially smelling, because there is another dearly beloved Filka 3136.
I wanted to sell it here, but I felt so sorry. Also just very good, but the lid cannot be removed.

Hello everyone!
Girls from Ukraine, tell me what now deserves attention in pressure cookers, multicooker. And then something I lagged behind new products. The neighbor wants to buy herself. Of course, a pressure cooker is more suitable for her to cook faster, but I am ready to consider a multicooker.

I read the forum. I want to clarify - and oatmeal porridge (like a mess) and semolina are cooked only by multicooker, which has a stirrer inside?

If so, how many are there? Just Home Cooker and that's it?

Please help me choose a multicooker.
It is necessary to cook vegetables / meat / fish / fruits for the baby every day.
Then, so that she (plus mom and dad) cook milk porridge and thick soups. Also every day.
It is also advisable to prepare yoghurts.
It is important that everything is tasty and practical and quickly cleaned / washed. The price is not that important.
Since I have been using a Panasonic bread maker for many years, I am thinking about a multicooker from the same company. While intuitive.

Just like you, I love my Panasonic bread maker dearly and chose the first Panasonic multicooker SR-MHS181. Oh, if I had it when the kids were tiny ... It's such happiness when I came with the baby from a walk, and the soup is ready for him almost without your participation

She cooks porridge perfectly. And on the timer too. In the morning she wakes us up instead of the alarm clock with the aroma of porridge
And of course he cooks soups. Veal in soup is boiled so that milk teeth chew it easily
The excellent Yoghurt mode prepares delicious yoghurt.
He stews the meat and cooks the pilaf. Cottage cheese casseroles are the most tender, like soufflé. Fluffy biscuits.
It tastes better when steamed than in a separate steamer.
The disadvantage I see is that there is no way to turn off the heating first. But, in the "yogurt" mode, the heating does not turn on, it is well thought out. In addition, there is an excellent "multi-cook" mode, in which you independently set the temperature (40, 70, 100, 130) and time, in this mode, when ready, auto-heating also does not turn on. Therefore, if, for example, you put a soup to cook at night, which should not be infused, then I cook it on a "multi-cook" at 70 degrees, it slowly cooks and turns off.
It is important that new or additional bowls can only be purchased through the service center. Therefore, when choosing a multicooker, consider this point.

You also need to clearly understand that this is a multicooker without a pressure cooker mode. I dream of a pressure cooker as an add-on to a multicooker. I put everything in the pressure cooker, turned it on and it is no longer possible to open it until the end of cooking, because pressure is created in it, this is its charm. And in a multicooker, you can "slap" the lid as much as you like (except for automatic modes).

You also need to take into account the power of the selected multicooker, it also affects the cooking speed. My multi has 825 W on "baking" to make it clear: a biscuit of 5 eggs bakes for 85 minutes; borsch with veal (I put everything at the same time) cook for 1 hour and 20 minutes on a gentle mode, that is, it does not gurgle much. Milk porridge, pilaf and crumbly side dish porridge (rice, buckwheat, pearl barley) cook well in automatic modes, that is, they do not require any of your participation (and a stirrer is not needed either), but the time of their preparation is unknown each time and depends both on the quality cereals and on the temperature of the liquid that you poured.

Now I dream of a Steba multicooker-pressure cooker ...

[Tanya-Fanya]

Tanya-Fanya, thanks for the detailed review!
And what porridge does he cook?

Will he cook semolina, liquid oatmeal?

You definitely need a curd casserole. And steamed vegetables / meat.

[Tanya-Fanya]

Tanya-FanyaWhat porridges does he cook?
Will he cook semolina, liquid oatmeal?

Your slow cooker will cook what you tell it to.It's a magic saucepan
Oatmeal will run thin if you add more liquid or use long or fast cooking oatmeal. This is the same as in a regular saucepan. For example, I take rolled oats, which is recommended to cook for 20 minutes. For 1 cup of rolled oats I pour 5 cups of milk with water (50 to 50). I put on the timer at night so that by the morning I will be ready. In the morning, the porridge is ready, while the boiled cereal settles slightly. The multicooker is already in "auto-heating", that is, it is still evaporating. I still interfered with a spatula and it still comes. No special manipulations with constant stirring are required.

Honestly, I didn't cook semolina, but here on the forum there is a wonderful section "Recipes for multicooker by type of dish".
You don't get attached to the multicooker brand when you read the recipe. There is only one significant difference: a slow cooker or a pressure cooker. And what is cooked quickly in a pressure cooker under pressure, others also cook in their multicooker only for a longer time (for example, beef stew. In my mult, beef roast is cooked on a slow simmer for 2.5 hours. In pressure cookers it is cooked for less than an hour) ...
Therefore, look in the above section for recipes of your favorite dishes in your family and questions will disappear.

If you cook a lot, then I would recommend that you pay attention to the possibility of purchasing an additional bowl.

If you choose between Philips 3197, 3095 and 3158, who is better to take?
And to which of them can you buy bowls?

[Ulyana]

Ulyana, all models can be purchased. And which is better? ... I don’t know. I love these two cartoons very much.
I love so much that I don't even look at others, which is surprising.
No. Here's another new cartoon Steb really wants, but it is not yet available anywhere.

3095 - by 4 liters, others by 5. If the family is large, then it is better to buy more
In general, now on the official website of PHILIPS there is a promotion for some of them - when registering on the website and filling out a questionnaire, a 50% discount. Look, if it's not over yet, then buy it

Slid like over. Only 3158 has a 30% discount (like and get a discount)

[Marishka919]

Marishka919, I put baking paper on the bottom, cut out a circle. And I grease the sides with oil.
You can also line the sides of the pan with paper.

Slid like over. Only 3158 has a 30% discount (like and get a discount)

At 3095 and 3197 there is also the same share. So I wondered who to take.
I read the research on the forum. It seems like 3158 and 3197 are better cooked than porridge ...
And by the way, I did not understand in 3197 one bowl or three in the delivery set?

Our family is of the usual size - me, my husband and a baby-daughter of infants.

[Ulyana]

Ulyana, I have 3197, cooks porridge for a feast for the eyes, even for one. And she also stews deliciously, I did chili, it turned out straight yum, although I doubted that it would be tasty in the cartoon, but Filya did not disappoint, soups and pastries were also yum, and what bowl, all the bowls a bowl, I thought for a long time whether I needed a fillet or not , it turned out to be still needed

[Sedne]

Sedne, Thank you! Most of all I need cottage cheese casserole from baking

Can I ask you because I got confused - does one bowl come with the set by 3197 or three?

[Ulyana]

Ulyana, 1 bowl, but very good.

If you choose between Philips 3197, 3095 and 3158, who is better to take?

I have 3158, I am very happy, 3197 is the most expensive because of the removable cover, I don’t know how often the owner girls take it off, how much it is in demand, I can say about mine - you wipe the cover and everything is clean, the main thing is that smells are not absorbed into the sealing gum absolutely, probably the point is in the good quality of the silicone. For other cartoons, it's a common thing - you shoot, wash, and the absorbed smell does not disappear anywhere.
And the programs are almost the same in this line of Philips, or rather, in the top 3197 there are several more of them, and the main programs in all are similar and debugged in the same way. And bowls of the same type.

How many bowls and which ones (thin-walled / thick-walled) do you use besides your family?

I advise, in addition to the native thick-walled ceramic, thin-walled non-stick. I liked it more in such a fry.

[Manna]

Manna, I mean this 🔗 ? I'm looking at her too. The ceramic coating will not be killed.
Which oven is more convenient? What about porridge? And for a double boiler?

[Ulyana]

Ulyana, yes, it's about her. She has very high quality coverage. The thinner the wall, the faster it heats up and cools down faster. The stove and porridge are better in their own (thick-walled "ceramics"), and it is better to steam, fry in hd3737.

All right. I ordered it. I'm waiting.

On the Eldorado website, I found such a BOSCH MUC24B64RU AutoCook multicooker. So the Bosch cartoon appeared. They write about 3 heating elements.

[lira3003]

lira3003, bosch will have several models (even induction)

Maybe they will, while only this one appeared. I choose cartoon again

For this, the price is from 7 something, and in Eldorado it is 10.

Lenat, another question is whether it is worth the money? Let it be 7, but on the other hand, I love the Bosch technique. I really don't know what to do

I want to share my experience of using multicooker, I have two of them Panasonic TMN10 and Redmond 4503, I have been using them for a long time. I am very pleased with both. Panasonic is quite primitive, one of the first releases, but I like that in the modes "Pilaf", "Milk porridge" and "buckwheat" you do not need to set the time and temperature, everything is by default, the function "Multi-cook" (it is not here) is considered unnecessary, this is a marketing ploy to increase the price of the multicooker, but this is my personal opinion. Redmond 4503 - I use it mainly for cooking first courses (there is a "Soup" mode), second courses. There are only 10 modes here, but all the necessary ones, I use all of them. Redmond is a company that initially specialized in the production of only multicooker, now they produce other products. The multicooker is very good, however, when I bought it, the bowl had to be replaced with a ceramic one and now there are no problems. I almost stopped cooking on gas for a long time, the only thing I cook there is broths, then I filter them and cook borscht and soups already in a slow cooker, I used different options, but this one suits me the most.

Hello !!! Please tell me who has a MAXWELL MW-3810 pressure cooker ??? There are very few reviews on the Internet ...

[Marisha Aleksevna]

Marisha AleksevnaAnd I used a multi-cook and now I will not give it up. Convenient bells and whistles. But I love my Panasiks.

Sveta, I will not argue about the multi-cook, I just wrote my opinion. Probably, after all, who is used to something

[Marisha Aleksevna]

Marisha Aleksevna, Marina, so I expressed my opinion.

[Sveta]

Sveta, and in what cases do you use a multi-cook? Once I asked this question to the girls, no one clearly answered. I have it, but I also never used it

[Larssevsk]

LarssevskLarisa, for example, I stew beef at 85C for a long time, 4-5 hours; porridge, because in the mode, the porridge ran away a couple of times, and at this temperature it does not even think to run. So you can't remember right away.

[Lar]

Lar, we often discuss this here. The multi-cook covers the jambs or the lack of temperatures of other modes.

[Manna]

Manna, and you will not test new models of Phillips?

[Lenat]

Lenat, I had no such plans.

[Manna]

Manna, it's a pity

[Lar]

Lar, we often discuss this here. The multi-cook covers the jambs or the lack of temperatures of other modes.

Mannochka, yes they discussed. And just all the discussions boiled down to the fact that if the multicooker is not mowing (like mine), then the multi-cook is not needed.

And I didn't like the design of the new Phillips, they really remind me of something. This design was relevant about 3 years ago

[Lenat]

Lenat, you can't retest everything. But these new models are interesting in functionality.There you can set your own parameters for "your recipe".

Yes, Larochka, this design is not very good for me either.

[Larissa]

Larissa, But what about without a multi-cook sous-see?
I also bake on a multi-cook.
