Pressure cooker Vimar VMC-164

[Programs]

New multicooker Vimar 163, 164 and 165 appeared on the Ukrainian market,
You can see the characteristics and price on Fotomag:

I ordered Vimar 164 for relatives, but me (and SANDY ), there I immediately attracted the program "Yogurt", so despite some flaws, I kept it for myself, and my beloved SV Liberty went to see my relatives

And here is the beauty herself:











The biggest flaw of this model is that it does not have (although it is stated) MANUAL MODE

Programs and their changes in steps of 1 min.
HOT - 30 minutes, varies within 20-40 minutes.
CHICKEN - 15 min, from 8-22 min
COLD - 20 min, varies within 10-30.
BAKING - 45 min
Porridge - 12 minutes, from 6 to 18 minutes.
PLOV - 25 minutes, from 12 to 38 minutes.
SOUP - 25 min, 12 to 38 min.
mysterious MULTICOOKER - 1 hour 30 minutes, from 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes (in increments of 5 minutes).
YOGURT - 8 hours 30 minutes, varies from 6 to 10 hours (in increments 30 minutes.)
DRINKS - 30 hours (!!!), from 25 to 36 hours (in increments 1 hour)

Experimentally and collectively, it was possible to determine that the cooking modes were changed on the COLD and MULTI-COOKER programs, because by 10-30 minutes. obviously not enough for jellied meat, but it turns out great STEAMED DISHES, and on the Multicooker in 2 hours 15 minutes you can just boil jellied meat and boil legumes (start from 45 minutes)

There is a separate button On off, and delayed start timer

Steam during operation does not emit at all and does not hiss anything, even when it is released on its own.

When the steam is typed, the dashes run, when the time is counted back, at the end of the program, a beep sounds three times, at an average volume and the dish goes into heating, a special light comes on, which indicates this. Time is not displayed on heating.

The cover is REMOVABLE completely when removed and placed vertically on a special recess on the body.

INNER cover NO

On the official website of Vimar, there is no mention of these slugs yet, but I was told that they would add, since they were only recently brought to Ukraine.

First YOGURT


And the first PIE with strawberries and apples

Olchik hello
Here I have such questions about the pressure cooker, smari:
1. How does it work when switching functions between a multicooker and a pressure cooker, really like a multicooker or a marketing ploy?
2. Is there a manual mode?
3. Does the valve produce steam during operation?
4. Max. jelly time?
5. Minimum time?
6. Is there a time adjustment up and down?
7. Pot size?
8. Is the lid completely removable or attached to the pan?
9. Is the lid inside double or single?

Well, yogurt works by itself, whether it is mowing or not.
In wrote

Do you mean the size of the pan (it is 6 liters) or by centimeters in height and width? Honestly, I do not think that this is a multi-cooker-pressure cooker in one bottle, most likely a pressure cooker with some multi elements, such as baked goods, yogurt, but this is also included in other pressure cookers.
The rest, of course, is already with a personal acquaintance, which Fotomag pushes everything aside, at customs, probably, the batch is unloaded

According to the saucepan, it is the diameter and height, I suspect that there will be an internal - 22, an external - 24, height -16
I also think that the multicooker and the pressure cooker with different buttons are purely a marketing ploy ... although they may have already thought of something

and I didn’t notice something manual, well if it’s 99 minutes in the jelly, otherwise it’s not right

Oksana, it seems to me that the manual mode is the + and - signs in the center near the SKOROVARKA inscription. And what is interesting is meant by the Drinks button

I have some vague suspicions about this counterfeit pressure cooker and the Internet-shop Fotomag, in addition, yesterday at least SMS was dropped that the goods are expected today (and although it has not ended yet), no answer, no hello. When I called myself, they said the goods had not arrived at the warehouse yet, they ordered it on Aucre, so I can myself there.
In general, he will not write letters, and is unlikely to call
That's why I love partnering with Cheaper. No, and Photos, everything is like clockwork, they called, came and took, and a bunch of letters and calls - are you satisfied, are you all right with your product and our service. In general, I'm letting go of the situation for self-fuel, it's even interesting when it (the product) will appear in their warehouse

rusja cool choice (y) I had a question about purchasing a new pressure cooker, I also liked this one, but in August they will bring new Polarisses to Ukraine, it’s crazy how many functions and I’m confused
The Vimar pressure cooker is not available in any Internet store yet, they just predict that it will be soon.
Yesterday I called three stores about its availability, it is on the site, but there is a cookie.
I will join and I will also look forward to your review.It is very interesting what kind of cover the saucepan

[smewaja]

Vimar is already on sale, here it has been active for a long time:
I called, they send it by New mail or other carriers, but my relatives are afraid of problems with the service, if you order such a pig in a poke from another city, then it is not yet known where and who will then undertake to repair it. In Kiev, at least you can strain the Internet-shop
and my order hangs on the site with a due date - 20.06

I also left them a review on the site with the desire to buy a pressure cooker-multicooker Polaris, they answered me in the mail that the price is expected to be even slightly less than the declared 900 UAH. But I looked for reviews in Russia and I got the impression that its price should be 2000-2500 UAH (at least in Russia it is not cheap, something about 9000 -10 000 rubles). And about August, by the way, they didn't even hint at me ... they only wrote that we will inform you as soon as they are available

[rusja]

rusja, sorry for the left link

Thanks for the link!
And about the service is a sore point for me, today my husband took my Skarlusha for repair. And I didn't want to get involved, and when I bought everything I meticulously checked

Girls, at this stage the epic is over, at last the fast car has arrived in native land. Why did it take so long to come to them from the warehouse, history is silent.
This means that some of Oksana-Sandi's questions can already be answered
1. What is the function of a multicooker and how to cook on it, there is NO information, that is, you will have to reach it by typing. But the instructions say, turn the valve to the "Open" mode and the pressure cooker will work in the multicooker mode

2. There is supposedly a manual mode, but I haven't been able to try it yet.
Unlike all my previous multicooker devices, this one had a strong smell and I stuffed a lemon into it, poured half a pot of water on the Soup, it is 25 minutes by default, how to add or decrease the time, I also haven't found how.

3. PAR, during work it is not at all, it’s even surprising to me, because Liberty puffs, if not for the minutes on the scoreboard, it would seem that she does not cook at all, let's see how it will play off.

4.I will write about the minimum and maximum time later, as I figure it out

5. The cover is removed completely and then inserted into a special groove to keep it upright

6. Internal, REMOVABLE cover - no

After the end of the program, a three-time signal sounds and switches to heating. The orange light comes on.
I'm going to put in yogurt for the night, let's see what happens and how.
Main infa along the way

Olya, congratulations
That there is no pair, it's good, I have the same in Comfort
I also like about the cover, as I wanted.

Olga, and that the instruction is absolutely bad right?

I look forward to further testing, describe everything you do in it okay?

And yogurt for the night, how is it? in theory, three hours will be enough for him, he will stop even ... what do you think?

[in height]

Oksanochka, Union of Right Forces for congratulations

According to the saucepan, it is the diameter and height, I suspect that there will be an internal - 22, an external - 24, height -16

You guessed in height - 16 cm, up to the rim, if with the rim -17 cm.
and outer diameter - 24 cm, and the inner 20 cm.
Eye-diamond uzho
So do you like that there is no removable inner cover?
To be honest, in Libert, I often forget to wear it and it annoys me
There is a separate button Enable / Disable is it in Comfort too?

And for yogurt, I don't even know, it is written for 8 hours, the program is designed, do you think 4 is enough? I have Good Food Immunales from dry starter culture, they wake up longer than if done with Activia

There is almost no instruction, there is a current written on how to put on the lid and start the pressure cooker, then there is a sacramental phrase - A more complete description of using the programs is given in the recipe book, and the recipe book, also 1001 and one Scheherazade night, there, in addition to the program, the time with a timer, you need to adjust , in general, I still have to master it.
On the program Jelly, it seems that the time is 75 minutes and it is written that this is enough.
The recipe book seems to have been stuck from all three pressure cookers, where high pressure is mentioned, but I do not have it, then they write add the time, but do not specify HOW. In general, it is not yet possible to change the pre-installed programs, neither decrease nor increase. Just like finding manual mode

write add time, but do not specify HOW. In general, it is still impossible to change the pre-installed programs, neither decrease nor increase. Just like finding manual mode

Congratulations on your arrival and mastering!
About the question HOW to change the time. Near (right and left) with the word Pressure cooker there are signs + and -, maybe this is it?

Do you press right after choosing a mode?

and after choosing the mode I tried and instead of it - NE reacts

The Chinese launched three models of pressure cookers on the market at once and, along the way, confused the names of the modes there, here are the first reviews about Vimar-165
So I'll figure out where to press it and what it doesn't press.

I like Olga without an inner cover.
According to the modes, try to press: pressure cooker → mode for example "soup" → and then when the standard time is displayed, press + or - → then start ...

There is no manual on the go, usually it is highlighted with a separate button .... otherwise, how can they manually put them into the "multicooker" mode
Did you get the yogurt? My yogurt is now preparing in three hours, the heat ...

Yogurt, yes, it turned out, the program heats up there correctly and very well. slowly, I poured cold water from the tap - 18 gr. after 2.5 hours it was 36 and I turned it off, because my surge protector (for one outlet) found that from late evening until morning, the power grid simply went off scale at 242-252 volts. And although the SV worked like a thermos, the yogurt was still liquid, because Good Food is a hot guy and he needs around 40-42 gr. Therefore, I turned it on again and in a couple of hours the yoghurt thickened, now it is settling in the refrigerator.
Oksana, are you making from dry bacteria or ready-made yogurt? I'm in sl. I'll do it once in the afternoon to control the whole process, but since the bacteria wake up gradually and the regime is very good there. sparing, then I think that just 5 hours will take this business. Less only from re-yeast.
In the evening I will make a charlotte (biscuit) with apples, and tomorrow I will cook pickle, while I protest on automatic programs. I can only say that Baking - 45 minutes, Yogurt - 8 hours 30 minutes, Drinks and Multicooker - 1 hour 30 minutes - these are not pressure cooker programs and the pressure on them is not gained in whatever position the valve is.

Genesis is dry.
Ol, and your box says -
cooking time adjustment
adjusting the cooking temperature?

Time to change?
So it turns out "multicooker" is not a mode (I thought you press the entu button and then select any program and it cooks like in a multicooker), but just one program that lasts 1 hour 30 minutes without pressure?

[regulation for an hour to prepare;- regulation of temperature;]

Ol, and your box says -
cooking time adjustment
adjusting the cooking temperature?

YES
I list the points:
- microcomputer system;
- microprocessor control of preparation;
- 10 automatic preparatory programs;
- regulation for an hour to prepare;
- regulation of temperature;
- LCD display;
- non-stick coating;
- automatic temperature control

Therefore, if I don’t figure it out myself, I’ll call them and find out. And to the dealership too. There is such crap in the instructions, 2 tabs for 164 model, one in the middle with the MENU button, and the other SCORER, it can be seen that they muddied something at the last moment and now you can figure out where to look for this menu / manual mode.

There is a "menu" button in 163 models, maybe the instruction is just general

no, there are separately attached photos of the faces of all three SVs, and 164, 2 photos are glued with a clip, it was like this, but it became like this.
But by the poke method, neither scientific nor unscientific does not change either .... WHAT, all the programs, as glued, clearly work the current delayed start. The Chinese are wise ...

Shaw say about STE?

So it turns out "multicooker" is not a mode (I thought you press the entu button and then select any program and it cooks like in a multicooker), but just one program that lasts 1 hour 30 minutes without pressure?

Sadness
You should have taken 163, there is this "menu" button, so it probably controls the temperature and time
Maybe it’s not yet 14 days ...

I can't say anything about the multicooker yet, then I'll try to boil the water on it.
And if you take it, then you need to indicate the reason?

So the reason is obvious - not compliance with the description, they slipped something that was not stated

Or maybe she just got defective that + and - do not work

Hey Ol, have you tried pressing the "pressure cooker" as the "menu"?
Like: porridge → pressure cooker → then "+"?
Maybe it just doesn't change on all programs ...

Time and tempra also probably change in three positions - minimum, normal, maximum, judging by the display of 163 models (as in my Comfort cooking time, they only called "taste").

Judging by your reviews and the link that you gave, the 163 model is probably the first one, but in the following models (164,165), the Whales are wise however

URAAAAAA
Glory to the collective intelligence, at last the SV got comfortable at home and was afraid of further sailing to the warehouse
IT TURNED TO CHANGE THE TIME ON THE PROGS
Everything is as you wrote, but at first I did not succeed. Prog-then SKOROVARKA-and change the time + and -, BUT not in all modes, today I will protest and post it on the first page.
BUT purely MANUAL has not yet been found.

Congratulations
Maybe, over time, a manual one will be found, but I suspect that this model is not provided for it, and the temperature changes too, since there is no indication on the display - minimum, normal, maximum ...

And how long did you manage to change, how much do you want, or is there a limit?

No, the limit is FROM and TO, set by the developers.
About temperature and pressure in the so-called nz. The instructions are written as follows:
You do not need to set the time and pressure.When you select a program, these settings will be made automatically.
To be honest, this is not critical for me, in Libert this is also not, the current time changes in one direction or another. But somehow I got used to the manual mode.
Are there pressure cookers without manual mode?

Myrtle, for example, seems to be without a manual one, I did not find it in the instructions and there probably are others.

The following is indicated about the MENU program:
This program allows you to cook any product by setting an INDIVIDUAL cooking TIME, different from the times of the other nine programs.
It remains for the current to find out if this is present in the 164th model

Manual is needed unambiguously, for example, boil milk for 1 minute (I always boil) and how to boil it without manual boiling?

No, it seems
And what about tempra, what is said, how to regulate? The instruction seems to be the same for all models, what is it written about?
Or they wrote on the lantern box ...

I haven't found anything about the temperature yet
In the first post I put today's yogurt

Yogurt is a great program. How many jars fit?
The question is still ripe, there are no "steam" or "double boiler" buttons .... but how to steam?

I had a package of Milk Selyanske 900 g and fit into 3 jars of different sizes.
But regarding the Steamer, the same as with the MENU button, on the photo that comes first and is sealed with a paper clip - the Dishes program for Steam is indicated, and in my Changed panel (as it was called in the official instructions) it is no longer there. In general, there was a normal pressure cooker, they changed the programs in it, not for the better, and released it on the market. All the same, it will be necessary to find out about all this innovation from consultants or representatives.
Intuition rarely lets me down, and if from the very beginning I liked the 163rd model, then I had to take it

In 163, too, there is no steam, all hope is for the menu button, which should regulate: temperature, time, manual mode and a double boiler ... but a lot for one button, it can also

In the instructions for the 163rd it is written that the Steamer is set in the modes: Meat, Fish, Vegetables or Chicken and the corresponding indicator will light up.

In the instructions for the 163rd it is written that the Steamer is set in the modes: Meat, Fish, Vegetables or Chicken and the corresponding indicator will be on

Aaaa menu yet, manual is also on the menu like 100%?
Something I do not see the buttons in it + and -

There, instead of buttons with minuses and pluses, there are two dots on the sides.
What is there and what is not, while the mystery is covered in darkness, the picture, as you can see, is very different from life
