Multicooker Brand 502

Can you please tell me if it is possible to leave the charlotte on heating. She started to bake, and my son called that he would come only in the morning.
And another question: does the multicooker consume a lot of electricity?

I would not - condensation will appear, the charlotte itself can dry out, lose its appearance. But I really haven't tried that. This is just a theory. Maybe someone has such experience?

[Elena]

Elena, thank you, I thought that now I am not capable of anything except porridge. In the morning I'll try, I want to watch the process, without delay. Maybe later I'll get bolder ...

[Ira,]

Ira, if questions appear, write. Hivemind will help!

Galina, what for? Good charlotte delicious and cold.

[Lenochka]

What's the night left of the whipping? The dough, of course, will not turn sour, but it will hardly be successful ...

Lenochka, I understand that we are talking about a ready-made charlotte.

Does the multicooker consume a lot of electricity?

The maximum energy consumption for Baking, Frying is approx. 850W.

Girls, thanks, I understood everything.

[Merri]

Merri, be sure to rinse the bowl well, straight very well, with the hard side of an old sponge with detergent. I had problems with the smell of the bowl until I washed it thoroughly. And keep the MV open when not cooking.

[Irina]

Irina, I am also a beginner and today I am mastering the third dish (one recipe per day). The first is millet porridge with a delay. In the evening I put it on and in the morning, as if for my breakfast, a delicious appetizing porridge was ready. No problem))) Fried the second cutlets. Everything turned out great too. And now I'm baking charlotte. I don't know the result yet.

I made a casserole and posted the recipe on the forum.

I did it in Polaris, but I used to cook in Brand on the "Pastry" program for 40 minutes.

[RepeShock]

RepeShock, Irina, thanks for the advice! I am reporting. All that was enough for me yesterday was just to wash the MV. It smelled of plastic very much! After washing, little has changed. Steamed a lemon. The smell has diminished but has not completely disappeared. It was a little sad. In the morning I cooked buckwheat, at the same time warmed sausages in a double boiler, I was afraid that the food would smell. Everything turned out fine, there were no extraneous odors. Today I put rice milk porridge on a delayed start. I'm scared, but I'm testing little by little ...
Galina51, congratulations on your purchase!

Good day! I have another question: is it necessary to wash the valve after each preparation? If not, how often or by what definition?

Is it necessary to wash the valve after every preparation?

Not necessary. If it stays clean, just take it apart and dry it.

[Irina]

Irina, thank you!

[Galina]

You are welcome, Galina

Not a big report on cooking in a multicooker. Charlotte turned out wonderful. Chicken soup. Pilaf with chicken breast (the taste is several times different from the one cooked on the stove, although I did everything the same way, with the same ingredients). The Zebra cupcake turned out to be delicious, but in my opinion it is too dense and something crunches on my teeth (like sand), I can't even understand what it can be. And regarding the density (of course, I don't know what it should be), I replaced the slaked soda (according to the recipe) with baking powder.
I just made yogurt. It turned out wonderful both in taste and in consistency. I took ultra-pasteurized milk 3.5% -1l., Cream 15% -300ml., Acidophilus 2.7% -200g. I mixed everything cold (did not boil, did not heat).I poured it into a bowl (there were no empty jars, although I think it is more convenient to do in jars), and according to the instructions for 6 hours - "yogurt without boiling."

Galina, the report is wonderful !!! So many goodies have been prepared !!!

About Zebra. The mistake, I think, is that they did not add soda, but baking powder. It is with soda that a delicious cake is made. There should be no "sand" on the teeth. Very soft texture ...

[Elena]

ElenaWhat a lush cupcake you have!
And I really liked the borscht! Honestly, I didn't even expect it to be tastier than on the stove! Yesterday morning I laid everything down, set the "soup" program to 13-00 (so that I had something to dine on) and went to work. Everyone was happy! I made a bookmark like this: I washed and put 2 chicken thighs in a saucepan (I had 4 of them thawed, but it seemed that there would not be enough space for the rest, so I decided that 2 would be enough). Then she chopped with Burner and added to the saucepan: 1 beet, 7 cm in d, 1 medium-sized carrot, a piece of celery root (about the size of carrots and beets), 2 small onions, a good handful of summer-dried Izidri tomatoes, 1/2 sweet red pepper, 2 medium potatoes, 2 handfuls of sauerkraut without brine. It turned out a lot, added water to the top mark, salted, pepper, poured "suneli", put 3 bay leaves and loaded it all at your own peril and risk into MV. I am very pleased with the result !!! I asked my husband to look after the cooking process (whether my brew would splash out, smoke or somehow behave inadequately), everything was fine, I told by phone that my daughter was already eating, he said deliciously. I told my employees that yesterday three of them ordered the same MB!

[Irina,]

Irina, Thank you! Bake - you will have the same! The recipe is reliable!
And the soups in Brand are very tasty. When a husband advertises a slow cooker among friends and acquaintances, he always says that soups are like from a stove. I believe him, because he tried it from my grandmother's oven. I also think soups are stewed.

I told my employees that yesterday three of them ordered the same MB!

Familiar! She has already infected almost all of her acquaintances with branding.

I like everything in CF very much, the only thing that upsets, smells persist for a long time. Today I remembered the deodorant properties of the Loc product, I tried to wash it with it, it seemed that the smell became less ... You need to watch.

[Irina,]

Irina, this is the problem of the first months. Gradually the gum stops absorbing odors so intensely.

It's good!
Today my wonderful pot has prepared pilaf for us for dinner. I got a little hot with water, a little damp, realized late that the lid would be closed, less water should be poured than into the cauldron. But, the taste is like real pilaf. I especially like meat cooked in MV. It turns out to be unusually soft, but not overstimulated.

Good day! Yesterday I became the owner of the Brand 502 multicooker! Will you join your ranks? Just a question. Are Panas18 recipes suitable for our multi?

Congratulations! The recipes are basically all the same. Only for some recipes it will be necessary to choose a more suitable mode (for example, Panasonic does not have frying, and there roasting takes place on baking) and its duration.

Do you cook soups on the "stew" or "soup" mode? Sorry for the stupid question I'm a multicooker newbie

[LoShadka - Svetlana]

LoShadka - Svetlana, look here. Everything has already been tested, the modes are indicated. For a start it will help a lot, and then you will not need it. You will create your own and upload new recipes.
The 37502 is the predecessor of the 502, so everything fits.

or "soup"?

The "Soup" mode in the 502 is great! I cook on it.

Girls, thank you for your participation and quick answers, somehow it became calmer with support. I will pester you with stupid questions, if I can

I will pester you with stupid questions, if I can

You can, you can! We all asked a bunch of questions at first.

Girls, I need help how to cook rice, in what proportions and on what program? Yesterday I cooked long-grain rice, not steamed (my husband bought it, I don't take it myself, I take either steamed or round) for 2 multi / st rice 3 multi / st hot water, it turned out not that sticky, well, some not very crumbly, not garnish or something, but I want grain to grain. How I cooked: I fried carrots with onions, added washed rice, frozen broccoli (3-4 pieces) and frozen green beans (about a handful), poured hot water, salted and on pilaf mode, after 5 minutes for heating. It seems not sticky, but not crumbly either. Help

my 502 began to wear off the ceramic coating, no one has this?
do you think it is safe to use this bowl further?

I have had 4 years and the coating does not wear off. Don't you confuse it with plaque? Sometimes a whitish coating forms ... If you are worried, it is better to buy an additional bowl, they are available

Svetlana, I cook 1: 2 and add a little butter. I read some cook 1: 1 .... a lot depends on the type of rice. Experiment

[Favorite]

Favorite, and on what program and what rice do you cook? do you pre-soak or not? Is the water hot or cold and adding something (vegetables) or just rice? sorry for a bunch of questions

Svetlana, if I cook rice with additives on the Pilaf mode (I have 37502), if it's just rice, then on the Standard mode. I don't soak the rice, I just rinse it, the water is cold. Look at the thread the girls have already answered your question. Many have tried different modes and different ratios. Look through Temka, see the recipes (they are on the first page)

rui
no, at first I decided that it was a plaque, but now it is clearly visible that a smooth black coating is being erased, and inside there is another layer, such a silvery one. more often less than a year. I want to buy a second bowl. I wonder if this sludge is safe to use. and whether the second will not be erased as quickly.

Can be used for steaming and fresh for everything else. And I can't say anything about the quality of the new bowls - I didn't use it

Favorite, thanks, I will try

Good morning! : bye: Again I am with my questions Who prepared yoghurt from "Lactin" sourdough (Svoyogurt. rf)? Yesterday I boiled 2 liters of milk, then everything followed the instructions and put it in the cartoon for 8 hours, because I don't know the consistency of the finished yogurt, I put it for another 30 minutes (total 8h30min). that I overexposed, 6 hours would be enough
In the evening I will try
I wrote to the thread on yoghurt, but I would also like your opinion as more experienced multicooker

100% overexposed! 6 hours will be enough.

[Svetlana]

It's just that after 6 o'clock you have to look. I have been fermenting on Lactin for a long time and every time it turns out differently. At 39 gr. 8-9 hours usually fermented. Svetlana, and you did not measure the temperature during fermentation?

[Rick]

Rick, no measure, I have a special. there is no thermometer, can I try the usual mercury one?, but again I put it at night, it's like not sleeping but walking to measure

Well, yes, it’s not very convenient at night. I don’t like to put it at night because you cannot control it, and you can just oversleep, and the yogurt will end up.

It is necessary to measure the temperature and control the consistency.
Describe, pliz, the correct consistency, as I understand it, even a hint of serum should not be, everything should be homogeneous?

100% overexposed! 6 hours will be enough.

By what parameters did you understand this? Help pzhl I'm new

serum is visible in places

This is the main parameter. Serum should not be present. As soon as it began to appear, overheating began. If there is very little of it, this is within the acceptable range. But it is better not to bring it to this. You need to check after 6 hours of leavening. If the mass is thick enough, then it is better not to heat it anymore.

Oh, yes ... to check means to slightly shake the container with yogurt, you do not need to climb into it with spoons during the fermentation process.

[Svetlana]

And when you shake the jar, the mass there no longer moves. Well, or just a little bit of mobility, barely noticeable. Then take it out and put it in the refrigerator.
Svetlana, temperature measurement is optional. This is so, more for yourself. For fun. But it is better to control the consistency, since each time there may be a different fermentation time. It's not for nothing that the exact time is not written on the bag, but with a scatter. Maybe your slow cooker gives you a temperature 1-2 degrees higher, here you have fermented faster.

And when you shake the jar, the mass there no longer moves.

I did it in a bowl, and then I laid it out, and so after 8 hours I slightly swayed, of course not liquid, but all the same the mass "moves", and not that there was a monolithic clot and there was already serum

If the mass is thick enough, then it is better not to heat it anymore.

How can I understand that it is "thick enough" What should be the density? what does it look like?
I called my daughter and asked about the thickness of the yogurt, she said that it was not thick (it costs 8 hours in the refrigerator)

Oh, how can I describe the thickness of the still warm yogurt? It is fluid, but slowly and smoothly. After cooling it grasps and already holds a spoon. True, yogurt is not always so thick. It happens that it is fermented only to the state of drinking.

[Manna]

Manna, thanks, I understand approximately

I called my daughter and asked about the thickness of the yogurt, she said

which is not thick (it costs 8 hours in the refrigerator)

grabs, and already holds a spoon.

Doesn't hold me

Doesn't hold me

Try to re-ferment it. Usually, when over-sourdough, the yoghurt becomes thicker. But in this case, you can look already in 2-3 hours.

I did it in a bowl, and then I laid it out, and so after 8 hours I slightly swayed, of course not liquid, but all the same the mass "moves", and not that there was a monolithic clot and there was already serum

Or maybe, on the contrary, you haven't held it yet? What color was the serum? Milky or clear? Sometimes it happens, when not yet reached, at the edges like milk liquid. Just aside from what you are writing about whey, for the rest of the description, I would say that you did not contain yogurt.
