Multicooker Polaris PMC 0517AD (reviews)

Thanks for the answer. I don't want to buy the Panasonic, which everyone praises, since there are few programs, there is no frying, yogurt, and in general it seems morally outdated. But I would like to have a correctly working touch mode! ... It's a pity that it is not here. Your cartoon is good for everyone, except for this

But I would like to have a correctly working touch mode! ... It's a pity that it is not here. Your cartoon is good for everyone, except for this

and what kind of regime is this? and what is it for?

These are programs, the operating time in which the multicooker determines itself, depending on the amount of liquid that you pour into the pan.
The program runs until the liquid has completely evaporated.
I have met such sensory programs:
1. Milk porridge is the least significant for me, since such cereals as I like (strongly steamed) do not work in 1 cycle, you have to start again (but you get excellent in two cycles), therefore, in cartoons, where you can set the cooking time yourself , I like to cook porridge more, you immediately set the time that you need.
2. Buckwheat. Figure: Pilaf. The main advantage is getting the right friable rice, but despite the fact that the program works before evaporation, the liquid must still be poured, as the manufacturers recommend, focusing on the marks in the bowl (this is about 1: 1), and not as we are used to 1 : 2 Moreover, in some multicooker there is a division of Hard, Standard, Soft. You can adjust it to your liking - it's all about Rice, Buckwheat is cooked in other proportions, whoever likes it from 1: 1.5 to 1: 2.5.
3. Express. My favorite program. In principle, also for side dishes, only faster, but it is often used for cooking such dishes, for example:

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=185834.0
Well, Plov also happens to be cooked on this program.

Instead of the Express program, we can use the Krupa program:

Of course, you can find a replacement for any program, just when working with an automatic program (NOT a sensory one) you yourself need to strictly observe the cereal-liquid balance, because if you put more water, it may not have time to evaporate, if less water will burn ..

I have been using it, or rather, I have been testing MV for strength for a week, while I really like everything! MV is no worse than my Redica 4205. So there is no need to doubt, a great thing! And my saucepans are absolutely suitable for her, just like they were here!

Marisha!
Congratulations on your next purchase!
My mother also actively uses my Polya at the dacha (well, I do on weekends).
I also bought a Teflon bowl from Redik for Paulie.

PySy: we are waiting for a report on the trip with the baby in another topic!

Girls, hello everyone! Some information about NEC bowls. I ordered myself one for Polechka on the multi- website, with handles. They do specials. order. I'm happy so far.

Anyuta, is it expensive? How long did it go? And the bowl is beautiful! Heavy, it seems. And some interesting impulse.

[Irisha]

Yes, Irisha, a little expensive. 1650 plus shipping. But I ordered the most expensive option. It can be cheaper - 1200. About coverage on that site is written. And the parcel from Tomsk took 3 weeks.

Yes, it weighs 590 g.

Today I cooked jam on Dessert, half a portion (0.5 kg of berries), well my mother passed by on time and caught the cartoon start spitting. And what was that?? Overheating or don't need to close the lid?
Is someone making jam?

A very topical question !!! I was just going to ask, too, but there is already a question ... I tried to make jam. Strawberry. I also cooked strawberries. Elvia, and from what berries did you cook? TTT - I didn't spit anything !!! I even really liked this program - there is no need to stand and be on duty - he will run away, he will not run away! I just asked myself a question to everyone who has already made jam: how long are you, girls, are you betting? An hour seemed not enough for me, I put it still. It seems like it was cooked. Yesterday I cooked strawberries like in two steps: there were 900 g of strawberries, put them in a bowl, covered them with half of the sugar, held them for a while (20-30 minutes) so that the berries would start juice, closed the lid and DESSERT for an hour (by default). Then, after a squeak, she poured the rest of the sugar, mixed it, closed it and for another hour on the same program. During the entire time I looked a couple of times: first, to make sure that the sugar had melted all, and not stuck and "coked", in the second step after the same. It even boils there! But the lid was absolutely clean !!!!
Girls! Share your jam making experience. Who does what?

From black currant, cooked without a lid, it was ready in an hour, the cartoon itself turned off and began to burn a little

I tried to make jam. Strawberry. I also cooked strawberries. ... TTT - I didn't spit anything !!!

And I spat with strawberry jam in 20 minutes
6 cups berries for 5 cups sugar ...
I was near, but having heard the characteristic sound I did not even have time to open the lid.
And it was not possible to remove the bowl immediately, since the foam rose to the brim and continued to boil.
I was scared that it would overflow and ruin the heating element, but nothing happened
When everything calmed down, she removed the foam. Nothing burnt, the jam as a result is beautiful - in separate berries in syrup, not cloudy, fragrant. I didn't boil it anymore, so I put it in jars with a twist.
What's the secret?
Irish, what was your berry / sugar dosage?

Irish, what was your berry / sugar dosage?

Sveta, I wrote: 900 g of berries (strawberries). Sugar is the same - 900 g. Here I will quote myself:

An hour seemed not enough for me, I put it still. It seems like it was cooked. Yesterday I cooked strawberries like in two steps: there were 900 g of strawberries, put them in a bowl, covered them with half of the sugar, held them for a while (20-30 minutes) so that the berries would start juice, closed the lid and DESSERT for an hour (by default).

But the lid was absolutely clean !!!!

I cooked strawberries in the same way, only I immediately filled up the sugar all at once, and I had less of it, about 600 g (respectively, and 600 g of sugar)
That's how it happened ... I haven't cooked it anymore.

Good day. Acquired 0517 (old model) There was a question - divisions in a pot correspond to what? The maximum division 1.8L is what?

[aleksvas56]

Good day. Acquired 0517 (old model) There was a question - divisions in a pot correspond to what? The maximum division 1.8L is what?

aleksvas56 , 1.8L (10 multi-glasses) is the maximum amount of dry rice that can be cooked in a 5-liter bowl.
If you measure out cereals with measuring cups, then pour water, focusing on the scale marked "СUP", and if in liter containers - then "L". The progenitor of multicooker is a rice cooker.

Please tell me how the old one differs from the new one! I bought it for my mom 2 weeks ago, now I want to know the differences

[pilaf]

Marina, the new version has modes pilaf and jam instead of modes crust and dessert respectively.
You can also set the time to rump, baked goods etc. The delayed start function is set differently. These are the most noticeable differences.

Have you just changed the names or the work of the programs? That is, you can cook pilaf correctly on Korochka?

thanks for the answer, but I still do not understand why these divisions are needed then (what help can I get from them?). I understand that L is liters, and CUP is dry products. It doesn't fit in my head yet, but what if it's not rice, but buckwheat? That is, if I load 10 MC of rice, then I pour water up to 1.8 L. And if I load 3 MC of barley, then how much water should I pour? You will excuse me for my stupid questions, but I don't catch up with something, how then do I need to calculate something? Or just ignore them?

aleksvas56, rice and buckwheat are boiled in approximately the same proportions of cereal and water, so the scale is quite suitable for buckwheat. In general, in order to boil these cereals, it is not at all necessary to have a scale. I just tried to answer your question about the divisions in the bowl.
But pearl barley is a special case. First you need to soak it for several hours, and only then cook it. The proportions are different. It depends on what you want to get in the end. There are many recipes for barley preparation on the forum: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=203861.0.
By the way, in our multicooker barley can be cooked on the mode beans.

Thank you very much! There are no questions about cooking recipes yet, I will slowly come up with it myself (as you understood, I am a beginner multi-cook).The question was asked with the following meaning: there are divisions, so they are needed for something, but I realized that no one uses them. Thank you very much again!

[Elvia]

Elvia
Julia, on modes dessert and jam in the old and updated versions, different cooking times, and in the modes crust and pilaf different temperatures, 145 C * and 125 C *, respectively. These are the differences.

Hello! I want to know: did anyone from Ukraine buy a replacement bowl for their P4502?

Hello! They gave me this miracle! I have not used all the programs yet! How I cook, I am delighted, but the baking does not work at all, it is somehow raw, even wet, I would say! And this question arose. In the lid on the inside, a silicone figurine is inserted into the round, WHAT DOES IT SERVE? Maybe it needs to be removed, so that the steam comes out and does not condense?

... baking does not work at all, it is somehow raw, even wet, I would say!

in any MV, the baking is not the same as in the oven, I read a whole Temka (somewhere here on the forum, it was a long time ago - I don't remember to throw off the link), after which I began to understand: which mixing features it is necessary to take into account that baking in MB is a success
what I remember: put flour at the end of the batch, in dry baking powder / baking soda, and fast knead. Bake immediately!

now I am corroded ... I don’t make pastries - summer ... I am ashamed with my sides and belly ...

And this question arose. In the lid on the inside, a silicone figurine is inserted into the round, WHAT DOES IT SERVE? Maybe it needs to be removed, so that the steam comes out and does not condense?

On the contrary - this ring protects the sensor and the inner cover with the heater from fogging.
That is, the way to the valve is not through the ring !!! and through four holes in the center.
I do not recommend removing the ring!
in our cartoon, condensation dries up the upper shade. How many things I did, the condensation never dripped onto the dish! Only at the end (when the lid is not carefully lifted, it happened that a little dripped.
If you need more steam to escape - just remove the top valve!

Well, if it is there, this upper heating, then it does not help me Or maybe it does not work?
Girls who have already baked, how is it dripping from above?

I have the same dripping !!! I can't understand what's the matter ??? On the inside of the lid there is a circle, apparently for steam, only it is closed with some kind of silicone trick that can be easily removed. Maybe it should be removed? Tell me please

Thank you! I will try! Today I'll try a lemon cake from a book. Khachapuri with cheese didn't work. The recipe says: Put the dough in a multicooker on the heating mode for 15 minutes until the dough rises. I put it, but in the end, instead of going up, the bottom got baked ??? It's just me or everyone else. To know the heating temperature for proving the dough is too big

[Valerika]

Thank you! I will try! I'll try a lemon cake today. Khachapuri with cheese didn't work.

It's just me or everyone else. To know the heating temperature for proving the dough is too big

Valerika, it is better to prove the dough on the mode yogurt... On this program, the first two hours the temperature is kept at about 38 degrees, for proofing just right. Mode heating not suitable for proofing, because the temperature there is somewhere around 100 degrees.

The multicooker mode of operation is not the same as that of the pan, if you remove this "silicone garbage", then the steam will go out to any of the set programs and the principle will be like in a pan on the stove and will not get the expected result! Only if you flush the valve, if necessary, insert this Selikond pin from where you took it out, and not the other way around!

I was also presented with such a slow cooker for housewarming)))) I have long wanted just such a model, the design is beautiful) I read all the reviews on this site))) I got a lemon cake, I got it)))))) I’m not friends with baking at all , but here everything is so simple, she is in shock. I just can't understand the instructions say that you can put a delayed start on milk porridge, but here I read it like no, who tried to write comments)))

I didn't write here

strawberry jam foams very much !!! you can cook it with an open lid on Dessert (in the old one) and mb on Jam (in the new one). I opened the lid when yellow dots appeared - there was foam at the valve !!! that is, it is quite possible that a little more - and there would be a fountain

and cooked like this with the lid open. You can see how actively it boils

It turned out as I love - very thick



in the middle - from MV, along the edges on the stove it was cooked ... In MV in less than an hour! She she left silently in heating about 15 minutes before the end of the hour Dessert.
I cooked on the stove for more than an hour ... and did not cook it

that's so thick - it doesn't roll out of a bowl tilted at 90 degrees

and I'll write about jellied meat
it so happened that we had to overload our beauty
above the rivets she boiled on the Extinguishing ...
DID IT!
here is the result
in silicone molds, very beautiful jelly beans are obtained
and och fall out on the plate. easy

Mmmm! Somehow I immediately wanted the jellied meat ... Ira, how long did it stew?

In general, jellied meat is a miracle! We cook it the same with great pleasure.
For example, I like to cook like a stew, without adding water. I take different meat (mainly pork + beef + chicken) in total, on a very full saucepan, set for 5 hours.

Ira, how long did you extinguish?

this time it turned out for a long time, previously they did it for 6 hours.
And this time I put it on early ... after 4 hours of the Quenching, I switched the multi-cook to 80C for 4 hours, and even on the Heating it stood (while we were sleeping) for 3 hours
but there the pan "over the edge" was of four pork legs without hooves

this time it turned out for a long time, previously they did it for 6 hours.

but there the pan "over the edge" was of four pork legs without hooves

Irish, did you switch to a multi-cook (80C) because the bowl is too full this time, or is the cooking process more optimal?

yes, because of the cup ... I was afraid to leave
I just opened this (photo) - to look ... and there I even poured rivets under the rivets.
that's why I switched
it turned out very well

Yes, I fill the saucepan to the eyeballs and tight enough. The amount of liquid depends on the quality of the meat. (more from pork and not so much from beef).

Like this: I filled the multicooker bowl to capacity, only 4.5 kg. And it turned out 1600 meat + liquid somewhere 0.9 l + 1300 (bones, veins ...).And 0.7 l evaporated. I cooked 5 hours of beef (cheek and ribs, knuckle) and 2 chicken legs.

[0791, Irish,]

0791, Irish, but my jam did not run away !!! I right here wrote ... (and even lower)

What a charm)))) it will be necessary to make jellied meat too, otherwise my hands do not reach it)) the truth has never cooked in a cartoon) I think to put on 6-7 hours of extinguishing)))

[Lёlka]

I finally figured out how Pasta works
he has a time limit set - 21 minutes from switching on, that is, the mode works exactly 21 minutes and turns off! If it cooked faster (when we set 8, 9, 10, 11, I even had a case, I worked for 14 minutes), then it goes to Heating, reaching 0 on the countdown.
In other words, when it boils quickly (for example, in 5 minutes), it counts to the end and in Preheat.
I poured boiling water yesterday and set it for 20 minutes, however, 20 minutes did not come ... because even with boiling water, the steam sensor worked only 2 minutes later ... BUT 19 minutes after the squeak is an achievement
and now I understood both Milk Porridge (maximum 35 minutes) and Pasta (maximum 21 minutes) in less than a year

I'm wondering - are these modes set normally in the new version?
if it's not difficult, who has new cars (with Plov and Jam), unsubscribe, pzhlsta

Lёlka, it happened to me by accident with silicone molds, there were no plates that could fit in the refrigerator. And it turned out to be even better than with the plates. and freezes beautifully (in the shape of the form) and probably even hardens faster ...

Irishka CH, well ... you're smart, not all sugar immediately fell asleep. And all of me he was foaming like crazy ... Although I even liked to cook like that. It turned out to be the thickest. And when I cooked it with the lid closed (in winter), from apples, pears, pumpkins, it was liquid. Although one can still stands on the loggia - it hasn't sour.

[Any85]

Any85, yes 6-7 hours Quenching is enough. We put it that way before. That is, before going to bed at night at 7 o'clock. Or somehow I was "poked" in the afternoon ... and before going to bed I had to be in time, and 6 hours was enough only when thawed! put. Better yet, not frozen at all - immediately from the store - wash (if necessary, soak) and into a saucepan

only at night it is better not to overflow!
I have never poured above the upper mark (liters / cups)

Marina, and nothing "runs away" when the bowl is so full?

No, nothing escaped! The liquid is not obtained to the brim, and the meat is boiled down.
Well, yes, I did it in the evening to cool down at night.

The last time I put frozen bones together with chilled meat, I forgot to take them out - nothing worked.

Hello hostesses. I chose a slow cooker for a long time, I still haven't chosen anything for a long time, eventually settled on this model, my husband should bring it tonight. I re-read so many things, I have already reached page 70. I will master this miracle of technology with you.
It will be very interesting whether I will have an updated cartoon or not.
