Multicooker Polaris PMC 0517AD (reviews)

- in the 2013 model, the timer can be set to 14 automatic
programs (except Pasta and heating), but you cannot use a multi-cooker!

Not true. I have a release date of 07.2013. There is a delayed start on a multi-cook!

- When you turn on the network and turn off the programs, the network indicator constantly blinks red. Here I didn't understand the developers at all - this "morgun" really strains my eyes, I have to remove the cord from the network all the time.

As it turned out, the pressure cooker absolutely does not cook faster. Since it takes time (30-40 minutes depending on the program) to build up pressure. And after cooking, you have to wait 10 minutes for the pressure to drop and you can open the lid.
That is, if the soup is cooked in Polaris for 1 hour, and the time for boiling water is included in this hour. Then in Saturn 35 minutes the pressure is built up, only then the cooking time counts down for 10 minutes, and after the end of another 10 minutes we wait until the pressure cooker releases the pressure and it will be possible to open the lid.
The question is, where is the gain in speed? The main thing is marketing and advertising, a hundred in pressure cookers everything is very fast (that is, the same soup is only 10 minutes!)
And the main drawback of pressure cookers is that you cannot open the lid during cooking - that is, do not salt, taste, add ingredients, or just watch how it works!

Very valuable information!
Thank you!

Sounds - what? Like cod?

Bell signals.

In Saturn 9181, this valve dangles on "snot".
........................ ........
And now a little about the speed of cooking in multicooker. A week ago I bought a Saturn 9181 multicooker-pressure cooker. I managed to cook a little in it.
But since it was announced by the manufacturer about the presence of a delayed start on all programs, and in fact it turned out to be only 4, and absolutely unnecessary, then the multicooker was safely handed over to the store.

That is, if the soup is cooked in Polaris for 1 hour, and the time for boiling water is included in this hour. Then in Saturn 35 minutes the pressure is built up, only then the cooking time counts down for 10 minutes, and after the end of another 10 minutes we wait until the pressure cooker releases the pressure and it will be possible to open the lid.

As the owner of Saturn 9184 (which is practically the same as 9181), I cannot agree with you. Firstly, I consider it incorrect to compare the design of the valves of a multicooker and a pressure cooker, they perform different functions, and cannot be better or worse than each other. In the same way, it is not entirely correct to compare a rather expensive model of a multicooker with a budget pressure cooker, but if you were to compare the Polaris 0105 and Saturn 9184, then it would be justified, because these are devices of approximately the same class.
As for the speed - I can't remember that my Saturn was gaining pressure for 35 minutes, a maximum of 20-25 at full volume, all users of this SCV just note its special pressure ratio.
Yes, on fairly quick-cooking dishes, such as soup or porridge, there is practically no gain in time for SCV in comparison with MV, but in more long-playing ones, such as jellied meat, dishes made from legumes, the difference is sooo noticeable. For example, I cooked mashed peas in MV for two hours, and in Saturn - 30 minutes, even if we add 20 minutes to set and 10 minutes to release pressure, the difference is still twice in favor of the pressure cooker! So you hurried to hand over your pressure cooker, you just had to buy a cartoon for her company, it would be an ideal tandem.
For the rest, I agree with you that Polaris has very decent multicooker (and pressure cooker too), and I like them myself.
Yes, and also about the delayed start - we just recently discussed this issue in the Saturn topic. In this pressure cooker, it is exposed in two ways, in one case you can "postpone" only part of the programs, in the second - all. You just rushed and did not understand properly with this device.

The type of sound signal)) As if the alarm is peeping, Pi - Pi - Pi.
Here's the type about that))

That is, on frying maximum 160 degrees. -peaks, and on a multi-cooker 160 degrees. does not squeak? Or beeps there and there?

The first thing that comes to mind is that there is not enough energy, it just needs more at the highest temperature.
Try to plug it into different sockets, using the same programs. Or maybe the network sank in the whole apartment.
Our house is under construction nearby, there are constant interruptions. Or in the evening people came from work, they turned on the multicooker, washing machine, dishwasher at once, the old house, the old wiring, may sag in the house.
Run the cartoon through the stabilizer / UPS. And if not a network, then a breakdown can be of course.
Check the power cord, you never know.

Yes, and also about the delayed start - we just recently discussed this issue in the Saturn topic. In this pressure cooker, it is exposed in two ways, in one case you can "postpone" only part of the programs, in the second - all. You just rushed and did not understand properly with this device.

I know perfectly well the second method of setting a delayed start in Saturn on all programs. He himself told the sellers about this undeclared combination of clicks when he handed it back.
But it's somehow not interesting at all to determine the number of set minutes only by ear by the number of "peaks". For what then the money is paid.

By the way, when you are interested, your 5184 has become of a different class than 5181. Yes, they have the same price in adequate stores. And in general, they are practically twins.

And about the speed. Do you often cook jellied meat and legumes?
I wrote that on the main daily dishes the gain in speed is exactly 0.

And the fact that you can't open the lid in a pressure cooker is a sooooo big minus, especially when this is your first device of this kind, and you need to master new recipes for cooking. Indeed, for good, you need to have both a mulbtyu and a pressure cooker. But the kitchen is not rubber!

[spikey]

spikey, here you are again in a hurry, and speak out without understanding.
Well, firstly, not 5184, but 9184 and 9181. Secondly, they are of different class not with 9184, but with the Polaris 0517 multicooker, with which you are comparing it. It is about these two devices (Saturn 9181 and Polaris 0517, because you were the ones who compared them in your message) and I say that they are of a different class and a different principle of operation, which is why I consider such a comparison to be incorrect.
I don't cook jellied meat often, but now I will make pea puree regularly and only in a pressure cooker. And not only him, here is a fresh example - today I stewed cabbage, cooking time for 12 minutes (and others stewed it in 8 minutes), taking into account the descent and pressure build-up - a maximum of half an hour, although this time can also be reduced by forcibly relieving pressure. Cabbage will not be stewed in a slow cooker for half an hour.
I cook borscht in a slow cooker for 2 hours (I do not cook the broth separately, but put the meat together with vegetables), in a pressure cooker - 25 minutes cooking time, the same homemade chicken, you cannot cook it in an hour, either on the stove or in a multicooker, in the pressure cooker is 25-30 minutes. We add to this time 20 minutes for the set and 10 for the release of pressure, we get a maximum of an hour of time, which, again, as you can see, is half as much. Agree that an hour of time saved is a lot.
Believe me, I have something to compare with, before buying Saturn, I had two multicooker (I no longer cook on the stove at all), which I have been actively using for more than a year now, I love them dearly, and will continue to use. And quite recently, like you, I believed that pressure cookers give almost no gain in time. However, now, when I tried to cook in a pressure cooker, my opinion has changed, I am happy to do it now, and even more often than in conventional multicooker. Of course, I will continue to cook some dishes only in the cartoon, but others will be exclusively in the pressure cooker. The multicooker and the pressure cooker are two completely different devices and each of them is good in its own way, you just need to understand the advantages of each of them and learn how to use them correctly.

The type of sound signal)) As if the alarm is peeping, Pi - Pi - Pi.
Here's the type about that))

And what is displayed on the screen. Should show an error.

And what is displayed on the screen. Should show an error.

The fact of the matter is that there is nothing.
Fries like that sluggishly at a temperature of 160.
How to understand whether the temperature has reached or not?

You can only check with a thermometer. Fries - it's already good. If fried to a crust, then it works correctly. I can't tell from the sounds ... I haven't seen this.

To all
they brought me a multi for a week, for a sample, wait, I cooked in half with grief, porridge oatmeal (why exactly? - no instructions! multi-glass too)
poured 0.5 liters (water + milk)
poured cereal over the eye
turned on (pressed start) and the menu button reached "oatmeal"
pressed start again - MV is silent
turned on (pressed mulpovar)
the tamper is 120 degrees, I press again - the temperature rises, reached 40 and turned off
in general, I cooked to 120 as it boiled, I let the heat down several times by opening and then just pulled out the cord, because pressing the button didn’t work (well, I understood that once everything was counted)
Wait you have to cook dinner and how to figure it out? in this thread I have reached 15 pages so far - yesterday afternoon I started reading
strange why there is no instruction? the sequence of switching on the buttons and how to get by the buttons to what you need

Manual for Polaris 0517AD for 2 models - from 1 to 23 pages - for the 2013 model, from 24 to 46 pages - for the 2012 model.

[LudaMila]

LudaMilaso that it is not a surprise for you when you decide to cook oatmeal in 5 minutes. Look at the graph.

Before the countdown begins, about 14-15 minutes pass from the moment of boiling !!!
(We can confidently say that this applies to model 47 082013 D1 92VOP.)

The oatmeal mode is designed for durum cereals, and it has a waiting time for warming up.

[Oatmeal program]

Quote from the instruction:
Oatmeal program
A special mode is for quick making a healthy and healthy breakfast.
Due to the optimal temperature conditions, the porridge will not burn and retain all its
beneficial features...
- Default cooking time 5 minutes...
- As a rule, the cooking time depends on the depth of grinding of the oatmeal, therefore, when
preparation, follow the directions on the packaging.
- Use the "HOURS" and "MINUTES" buttons to set the required time.
- Press and hold the “START” button for 2 seconds, the light
button indicator, the multicooker will start cooking in the set mode.
- The display shows countdown cooking time.

No ideas about durum cereals are mentioned. Or do you want to say that the multicooker automatically detects the depth of grinding of oatmeal ???

my daughter wanted pizza and I am on MV, but she began to count down the time when I cooked porridge
how do you switch quickly to other modes? (I haven't read the instructions yet)

Press and hold the Heat / Cancel button (left of the control panel) for 2 seconds, then use the Menu button (right) to select the desired program. Then keep the Start button pressed for 2 seconds.

the pizza is already ready, so to speak ((it turns out raw will go into the oven
Wait, we prepare the chicken

Raw? and how long did you cook it and in what mode?

It hasn't come to such a multi-structure yet.
Seeing that the device is working not at all as described, I would not be guided by the instructions.
And I turned to the manufacturer with a question.
Tireless users do it on another friendly site very actively. Maybe there was a similar "question-answer" here.
I don’t give links. I give screenshots of the answers.
I think alexSUNder will not be offended if I quote him "so". The chronology of responses by date is slightly not followed.

Raw? and how long did you cook it and in what mode?

on the "pizza" mode for 25 minutes or something
by the way, they fried a chicken - everyone spat and the daughter said that she would no longer fit the cartoon
first roasting (made according to the MV recipe then poured with sauce and .. there was a lot of time on baking, as the manufacturers advised) it's good that they looked in 15 minutes later - the chicken was in the trash, everything burned
it's good that we took this cartoon just for the sake of what it is and will give it back

I don’t want to sound rude, but you seem to be from the category of people who are generally better off not using this kind of technique and cooking the old fashioned way. with regards to pizza: if you have a recipe book (and as I understand you have it), then it’s sad to think that it’s a hell of a job for you to open page 55 and read what is written in black and white: turn on the Pizza mode for 50 (!) minutes , but not at 25. If you haven't read the instructions, I'm generally scared to think what else you could have done. I can't say anything about chicken, since I have never made it, unlike pizza. I have a slow cooker for a little more than a month, but everything that I did never ran away did not burn out did not remain raw (pah-pah-pah, so as not to jinx it). Let's hope that this is just the intrigues of competitors who write negative reviews about this model. However, if you are real users, then this is just the case when you want to say: there is nothing to blame on the mirror, if the face is crooked.

[LudaMila]

LudaMila, yes you are simply the record holder for the imposition of death sentences.
Get down to business from the bay, without having studied anything. One thing didn't work out, take on another ...
The flag is in your hands ...

[ZagAl]

ZagAlit's not me it's my daughter what to stand to fry by the stove (more convenient) and what to fry in a saucepan? and the cooking instructions in the booklet are very scarce))
I will still try if I wash the burnt

I am more confused by the phrase: they took it to understand what it is.in one evening it is definitely not clear. I studied the instructions and the recipe book twice before starting to cook. there were no fatal failures, and despite the fact that I hardly know how to cook.

how do you not understand if something appears you need to try it right away
but there was no instruction! and from whom they took, they refused to cook in it, (only steamed manti)
especially since I have no time to spare! = 1 week!
do not pounce on me, I'm in hot pursuit walking (on my own) further it will be seen

I think that before you start trying you need to read the instructions. I think the allotted week would have been more than enough for you. Sorry, but I will repeat again: you are from the category of people who are better off cooking the old fashioned way. this is neither good nor bad, it is a fact.

I have a slow cooker for a little more than a month, but everything that I did never ran away did not burn out did not remain raw (pah-pah-pah, so as not to jinx it). Let's hope that this is just the intrigues of competitors who write negative reviews about this model.

It's just that you are among those who are lucky (pah-pah-pah, so as not to jinx it). And I have problems with milk porridge - they run away. Everything else that I tried (cooked soups, stewed potatoes with meat, made cottage cheese) suits me perfectly. But milk porridge is not. And I already figured out why. I will fix it. I'll sign off on the results soon.

[turn on the Pizza mode for 50 (!) minutes]

page 55 and read what is written in black and white: turn on the Pizza mode for 50 (!) minutes, but not at 25. If you haven't read the instructions, I'm generally scared to think what else you could have done ...
Let's hope it's just the machinations of competitors who write negative reviews about this model. However, if you are real users, then this is just the case when you want to say: there is nothing to blame the mirror if the face is crooked.

I was wrong because I didn’t remember how long it was turned on, but she worked and disconnected herself, so all 50 minutes had passed
very fired up multi and therefore read and was tempted how great everything is! but I am not a competitor, I have never suffered such x *
and the last "mug" may be crooked: lol: but all because of my terrible nature
The instruction is readable
but in the old fashioned way I don’t want to have time (your advice is useful)

Your dear alexSUNder and planted there to get out of the manufacturer's obvious slips. For technically literate people, his answers are no more than bullshit. First, read how he explains the operation of the Milk Porridge regime, and then read about Oatmeal and draw conclusions .... You see, I don't even want to discuss it! Rave!
And I have my cartoon (in which milk porridge is now running away) will cook milk oatmeal in its native mode (from a principle), so as not to say alexSUNder... To do this, I will modify it (the multicooker) a little.

I was wrong because I didn’t remember how long it was turned on, but she worked and disconnected herself, so all 50 minutes had passed

but in the old fashioned way I don’t want to have time (your advice is useful)

Then I will give really valuable advice. Cook some soup this week (I recommend the vegetarian borscht from the recipe book, very tasty), stew chicken hearts with potatoes, boil buckwheat porridge, do something for a couple: fish, meat, vegetables (if you want, I'll throw in the recipe in messages delicious steamed buns) and baked goods. my family is very fond of lemon cake and khachapuri, there are recipes in the brochure too. Make at least some of this and understand what a multicooker is and whether your family needs it at all.And yet, I recommend that you carefully study the instructions for use and the recipe book before doing this. Good luck

ZagAl, will you tell us later? what have you modified? in normal mode MolKash

however, I was lucky I never "ran" porridge

I already figured out why. I will fix it.

on MolKash, the boiling point of milk is set - above 100C ... for 5-7 minutes - at this time, "escape" occurs ...
that is, it is theoretically correct (milk boils at temperatures above 100C), but practically leads to "shoots" of some types of dairy products ...

[ZagAl]

ZagAl, won't you get into the firmware?

Wait boiled with grief in half, porridge oatmeal (why exactly? - there are no instructions! multi-glass too)
poured 0.5 liters (water + milk)
poured cereal over the eye
turned on (pressed start) and the menu button reached "oatmeal"

strange why there is no instruction? the sequence of switching on the buttons and how to get by the buttons to what you need

Here, the topic says a lot about cooking porridge. I identified one recipe for myself, by the way I cooked oatmeal, it turned out as it should! 500 ml of liquid (milk or milk + water), half a multi-glass of oatmeal, salt, sugar to taste, multi-cook program 100 degrees for 30 (!) Minutes. You can put on a delayed start (did not try), then it warms up a little, the porridge turned out wonderful!

they brought me a multi for a week, for a sample, wait, I cooked with grief in half, porridge oatmeal (why is that? - no instructions! multi-glass too)
in this thread I have reached 15 pages so far - yesterday afternoon I started reading

Maybe the missing components remained with the one who gave you the multicooker? There should be a complete set: a steamer, yogurt cups, 2 teaspoons and a multi-glass. Do not forget about the recipe book - instructions and warranty card. Some lucky ones have a spare bowl.
P.S. and when will the moderators make a menu at the beginning of the Temko ???

on the "pizza" mode for 25 minutes or something
by the way, they fried a chicken - everyone spat and the daughter said that she would no longer fit the cartoon
first roasting (made according to the MV recipe then poured with sauce and .. there was a lot of time on baking, as the manufacturers advised) it's good that they looked in 15 minutes later - the chicken was in the trash, everything burned
it's good that we took this cartoon just for the sake of what it is and will give it back

I do not want to agitate for multicooking, but guys, there is a stewing mode! The chicken was sauteed, it is stewed on this mode! How much is there on the stove? 40 minutes? So it is necessary to expose so IMHO. And baked goods are preset for an hour! And the temperature is pretty high. It is clear that from the pieces (I assume) of the chicken, horns and legs were left. I would also suggest doing something simple from the recipe book first. For example, I didn't succeed in pilaf. Then, after reading the branch, I realized that she had poured a lot of water, so it turned out to be porridge. I did pizza, was ready in 20 minutes, I don't know why yours turned out to be raw. Probably, you were waiting for the top fried, but in MV you will not wait. It is as it should be - fried from below, and melted cheese on top without crusts mmmm!
But in general, I will say that most likely you will decide to work with the stove the old way. And they approached MV with the idea of ​​proving to themselves and to the household that standing by the smoking stove is tastier and better, and most importantly - selflessly!

To this topic. There was a similar case yesterday. I come to visit, the hostess is a professional cook. She has a MV, not this one, of another company, but still ...Well, I think we'll talk! After the first question, she grimaced and disgustedly waved her hand in the direction of the multi: "I didn't like her!" Great, I think right now I will hear the opinion of a professional regarding specific dishes in CF. To my question "Why?" she opened the lid and revealed the entire scratched pan (with forks at least) with a non-stick Teflon coating. It's harmful, grit. Your mother! And this is with MV, which is not sold only by a lazy hardware store !!! She also frowned at my "tip". Feels not going to eliminate their own jambs. After all, it is easier to wrinkle your nose and say that MB is rubbish and a waste of money than to take off a soiled greasy dressing gown and put yourself in order while cooking without the participation of the hostess to the joy (it turns out double) to your beloved husband and no less beloved YOURSELF!

Loya! I will answer all at once, but in order
-30 minutes for multi, this is a very long time (for cereals) I cook oatmeal on the stove for no more than 10 minutes, and more often - it boils - I turn it off and then it comes by itself
-instructions were not included at all, thanks here gave a link and finally I mastered it
- I cooked what was in the refrigerator and what I needed to feed my husband, so we did everything according to the recipe from the attached book!
- even the bottom of the pizza was white
- but the conclusions, about what I decided and think to do, are not worth it
and on the contrary, I show and prove it is NECESSARY! but so far they do not understand the superiority
Sorry, I'm not agitating or dissuading anyone, I myself want to understand WHAT IS IT SO GOOD IN IT, that everyone likes it so much?

I haven't tried everything from the recipe book. They said about borscht, I liked it too. Try baked goods. I made a good cupcake from the recipe book. Good luck!

-30 minutes for multi, this is a very long time (for cereals) I cook oatmeal on the stove for no more than 10 minutes, and more often - it boils - I turn it off and then it comes by itself

Sorry to interfere, but I cannot remain silent. Just for a multi, 30 minutes is not a lot, but normal. You have a slow cooker, not a pressure cooker. And there is no need to compare a cartoon with a stove, the advantages of a multicooker are not to cook the stove faster, but to free the hostess from control over the preparation of food, to give her free time. After all, for these ten minutes you are probably standing at the stove, stirring, waiting for a boil, and you do not need to follow the multicooker, put the food in, pressed the button and left. You just need to plan the time for cooking a little differently, start cooking the porridge not 10 minutes before serving, but a little earlier, you can put the morning porridge in the evening for a delay, then in the morning you will not need to be distracted by it at all.

baking does not interest me very much (this is blasphemy just because of it to take

And my sister and I bought our second multicooker mostly because of baking, because my first one did not bake very well, and my sister had no baking at all. The girls here boast of such masterpieces of baking that they could not stand the strength, they had to commit this blasphemous act.

they approached MV with the idea of ​​proving to themselves and their households that standing by the smoking stove is tastier and better, and most importantly - selflessly!

LudaMila, all your posts just shout this phrase
I laid out a lot of pizzas in this temka that's really something, and the pizzas are SUPER !!! in our cartoon

Yes, just try baking and prove to yourself that MV is nonsense
not all baking works

Getting involved in the conversation, I want to say the following thing: even when cooking in such a seemingly fully automated device like a multicooker, you need to put your hands on it. I do not want to praise myself, but the fact remains. We and my grandmother and aunt have absolutely the same multicooker. And my mother doesn’t like soups at all, and she loves the multicooker borscht that I make. I was with them the other day, they were treated to the same borscht. He says: seemingly pale and tasteless, not like ours. Why so, I can not judge. You just don't have to dump everything on the multicooker, after all, it's just a machine.Lyudmila, in my opinion, wants to know how to work this magic pot, but it is not enough to put at least some force by this time. And I don’t understand the logic: time is running out, but we will not do this, we didn’t take it for this, we don’t like it, we don’t want to. And everything will come down to the fact that at the last moment they will do something hastily, decides that the slow cooker is absolutely useless and will return it to where they took it.

[LudaMila]

Blaspheme, girls!

Well, duck I already admitted that it is, that is. Now I’ll say even more terrible - after that we bought a quick car with her, this is probably already a complete Fall.

Getting involved in the conversation, I want to say the following thing: even when cooking in such a seemingly fully automated device like a multicooker, you need to put your hands on it.

I would even say that not so much hands as head. Although there are multicooker and smart pots, the hostess also does not bother to think at the same time whether the selected mode is suitable for the dish, it may be worth increasing / decreasing the cooking time, etc.
LudaMila, I would advise you not to rush to conquer the multicooker on the fly, but to cook two or three dishes this week, but thoughtfully. I propose this option: you choose some kind of dish, prepare products for it, and the girls and I will try to help you with recipes and advice on how to best prepare this dish. If you still do not succeed, then it will be possible to assume that you just came across a defective copy of the multi (which, by the way, did the owners say about it, did they succeed in cooking in it or not?)

I have had Polaris for almost a year, I bought it in December last year. I cooked everything, almost all programs. I practically do not use a multi-cook, there is enough of what I have. I share my thoughts (maybe it will come in handy for someone). Chicken is better first for frying, and then with sauce on stewing, I also make soups on stewing, baking is good, and I made mannik and chocolate in boiling water. After cooking, it is better to leave porridge on the heating for a while, then they are tastier. Yogurt also works well. I am very pleased with my assistant. And yes, I also bought a pressure cooker-smokehouse, my girls work almost every day, and I knit at this time

I will say more: I have always been against CF, although I have a lot of different kitchen equipment. And when a lot of multi-cooker recipes appeared on your favorite site, it even began to annoy. But progress continues, from the fire, people moved on to the stove, and then to numerous gadgets. I bought the first cartoon for my brother - a bachelor. At that time he did not even know what it was. In the process of multicooking, he abandoned his stove, it sparkles with virgin purity. And my brother continued to treat the bachelor, simple, but incredibly tasty dishes: barley with veal, millet with pumpkin, kharcho ... And when I saw Field 0517, I also fell victim to her beauty. Really! I ordered it without examining it, just because it is beautiful. While the order was going on, I studied the branch and was fully armed. Now I am tormented by unrequited love for the last Polaris pressure cooker. I study, I dream, I will definitely buy.

I propose to write thesis what you like in this multicooker, unlike others. Maybe we can make it easier for other users. I went over the topics with other CFs and identified the differences that were significant for myself, in descending order:
1. Appearance. Modern, compact, comfortable.
2. Price and power. Powerful beauties are expensive.
3. Availability of multi-cook function. Replaces the missing buttons "languor" and "jelly".
4. The presence of a removable cover (the smell of "bright" products is easily washed off).
5. Function "yogurt" and the presence of cups. I will not be cunning, you can "stir up" yogurt in a jar, but I love everything "special". I also read that in other cartoons, girls adapt to making yoghurt on the "heating" mode. Here, the presence of the program eliminates unnecessary "adaptations".
6. Great baked goods. I read that not everyone has ...
7. Possibility of purchasing a replaceable pan. Rare or new models have problems.
8. The presence of a large number of recipes on the site ... But this is a petty toadie

I propose to write in the abstract what you like in this multicooker, unlike others. Maybe we can make it easier for other users. I went over the topics with other CFs and identified the significant differences for myself, in descending order:

since my spouse pestered me with the "need" to buy MV since the first Panasonic, then I, like few, consciously resisted this acquisition for the above reason (we eat fried much more often).
In the fall last year, I was puzzled by yoghurtization (that is, I decided to improve our organisms a little). I read about the problems with yogurt makers, and came to the conclusion that there should not be such problems in the CF (since it is similar to a thermos). Well, and then I saw our beauty in MetroCashCarry and could not resist
I have not ranked, just EVERYTHING !!! in terms of importance SUPER important differences of this particular cartoon:
The possibility of heating is DIFFERENT! from 100C for onions, up to 160C for frying, and I have a pioneer with the Crust mode - I fry a lot on it
PASTA is something Noodles / horns / dumplings / dumplings, etc. WITHOUT PROBLEMS !!!
KRUPA 25 minutes and any cereal is super delicious and always guaranteed result
The Pizza mode finally defeated me
BEANS what kind of pea porridge turns out
Dessert (now Jam) wonderful jams are cooked on it
All of these modes are absolutely unique.Redic 90th (let's be honest) appeared later - in our city it is much

and for me our Beauty is prettier

By the way, in terms of size, I still compare different models in stores - ours is the most compact
oh ... I can endlessly list the merits of our cartoon
there och. a lot of bukAFFF - on another site I wrote

- Poli also has a MULTI-COOK (10 degree range - faster scrolling above 160C I can't even imagine why it is necessary? Fries are excellent at 160C); Redik has a 5 degree range and from 30 to 170C; if necessary, take Redik.
At Redik In the interval from 5 minutes to 1 hour - 1 minute; from 1 hour to 16 hours - 5 minutes. - Honestly, I'm going to go crazy so much "poke the button": shock:
- DAIRY Porridge and Paulie are strange (but we adapted, we only cook rice in this mode, the rest on Oatmeal! Super mode !!!), and Redik (I read it on the forums) has the same oddities: roll:
- EXTINGUISHING both have, Paulie from 2 hours; at Redik's it starts from 20 minutes ... I'm great on Heating (about 100C for exactly 20 minutes) in the Field I will get the same result (this is a separate mode for Paulie, Redik does not have such a program. Poly with an hour)
- Both have FRY. Only Redik, according to the description, does not (if it is in real life, then ok) temperature control. In my opinion, very good. important point! because in the Field (there is from 100C to 160C with an interval of 20C) I always fry at 120C or 140C, quite enough. 160C is already burned out in most cases.
- Both have SOUP. Paul has an hour, Redik has 20 minutes (read above about stewing)
- PAIR both have exactly the same
- Both have PASTA. (Paul's name is Pasta) Redik's time is regulated from 2 minutes, I have a bad idea: why would it be useful for me even if for homemade noodles, then I don't have to stand for scrap for 2 minutes to turn off Polyushka and take out the noodles (sorry, I'm longer from I will go to the kitchen, instead of noodles - porridge will turn out)
- Only Redik has SADNESS. We don’t need it, we often eat fried, therefore, Baking and Crust at Polyushka is more relevant for us!
- Only Redik has VARKA. But according to the description it is similar to Paulie's prog Bobs - Super-mode:!: And with a delayed start.
- Both have BAKERY. But here, perhaps, the only thing where I agree that there is not enough Time adjustment field
- Both have CRUPS, only in the Field 25 minutes and everything is ready:!: And in Redik - it is proposed to experiment
- Only Redik has PLOV. BUT Poli's on Krupa in 25 minutes is so cool !!! rice is cooked in a zivrak cooked on a fry that turns out a real pilaf:!:
- Both have YOGURT
- Both have pizza
- Only Redik has BREAD
- DESSERTS both have.
TOTAL! Poli has some very popular among our family: OVSYANKA !!! - super mode !!! where MolKasha "mows", Oatmeal copes! Delayed Beans; Roasting, Crust - "special" roasting and baking programs; Heating is not automatic (automatic heating, of course, is also available in other modes), but by a separate program-mode.
Thus, the bottom line: in three months I mastered all Polyushka's modes, and learned how to use them (the stove became just a table). And now, reading the modes of Redik (which is more than twice as expensive), I understand that I have all this too:!: Moreover - with lower costs for installing the necessary mode (when it is not necessary - like Redik - 50 times before hour "poke" ...)
My bread maker bakes bread, I would never fool around in MV
Longing ... I don't really understand: what is the feature because I do not suffer from the absence of this mode
And another little plus sign of Polyushka:!: A set of yogurt jars - we have very good. in demand. we eat yoghurts every day:!:

Mulled wine was made on Multipovar - 80C, I defrost meat at 50C.
I am looking for yoghurt (I mix the sourdough with milk) on a 40C multibove. Then I pour it into jars for Yogurt

In the updated recipe book, pilaf is also proposed to be cooked on Krupa. Me and the zervak ​​were on fire, but on Krupa the rice was absolutely raw. I do not know why this is proposed if there is a pre-installed Pilaf. Which I have not applied to use. From the tips on the branch, I made monkey words: I cook compote in Soup, peas in Multipovar. It would be necessary to roll the beans ...
