Pressure cooker Vimar VMC-164

[Angela]

Angela, if it is Vivo sourdough - then on the jar the date of manufacture

All the girls, thank you, I understood the principle of work, I was also worried that there might be some kind of breakdown. After all, she is my first, in addition, the Vimar brand is not very common, a friend from Russia advised me, she is delighted, says the Phillips and did not push around, so I bought it, then at home I found zero instructive and was even more frightened, from all sites I found only this forum and was very happy, so there are people who use it, so I'm not alone. Olechka, thanks, I signed up with the online store, I'm waiting for the manager's call, just in case I need to check the dimensions, I think so, so that I don't regret it later. Girls, where you buy yoghurt starter cultures, I live in Brovary, so I don't see them sold

[irysska]

irysska, I did not ask what kind of sourdough, but in the store where my mother bought it, it seems that it was Vivo. There are also others for kefir, sour cream, cheese, like this company.

vita 73, I live in the regional center. Of the supermarkets, we only have ATB, it doesn't. I found these leavens only in one ordinary store, maybe there are others in others, until I was interested, since my hands had not yet reached yogurt.
Ask the sellers, maybe you just didn't pay attention.

Hmm, maybe I really didn’t notice, maybe somewhere even in the store at the milk storage. I'll take a look. I thought maybe somewhere in the pharmacy you can buy

Yes, it is in pharmacies that you can buy, Italian Good Food is especially common, there are also Bulgarian Lactina and Genesis, you need to choose it according to your taste. And the starter cultures of the Kiev Institute of Milk and Meat - VIVO, are sold in all supermarkets - Silpo, Velyka Kyshenya, Megamarket, Karavan, Metro, etc.
We have several yogurt topics on the forum to understand.
Yogurt with bacterial starter cultures
Ask an expert: all about homemade fermented milk products
And the section itself Yogurt

In the pharmacy, I also once asked, ooooooo long ago (a couple of years have already passed). At that time, I was offered yogurt in capsules, which you need to swallow. We now have a lot of pharmacies, and I don’t know what assortment of yoghurt they have.

and I've been buying it in pharmacies for three years already.
Usually, there is a list of starter cultures with labels / names near the checkout, if the pharmacy sells them.

: yahoo: Oh, thanks for the reference to the preparation of yoghurt and for the advice on where to look for sourdoughs. Well the girls are great !! Tomorrow I'll look at the Megamarket and look at the Tas Pharmacy. The Internet rules! I will definitely prepare my answer, and unsubscribe about a spare bowl.

Hey everyone. Sorry, I disappeared, I was very sick.
rusja - thanks for the link to the additional bowl, but to purchase. It is strange that they are not in Kiev. And yet, you once wrote about the Adyghe cheese, but can I have a recipe?
During her illness, she made mushroom soup with dry porcini mushrooms in Vimarchik for 25 minutes and a hodgepodge, though she fried half with a pressure cooker, and half in a frying pan. My potatoes are strange, they do not boil, I put the mushroom for an additional 20 minutes and ... nothing (it was cut finely).
I haven't made yoghurts yet, but already in Auchan I know where the starter cultures are sold. I think I'll try it next week. About the rug for cans - I saw in Auchan only boards that were soft, like plastic, but I did not find any silicone ones.

Hey, where did everyone go?

Hello girls! I'm still a beginner, I'll get used to it soon. I got it exactly the same as in the photo from Lika. And now the questions
- what should I do with the pressure regulator? Which way to turn it or put it in the middle (when it is in the middle, it rises).
- how to turn on the pressure cooker or does it turn on automatically?
- I do not have a multicooker mode.
Maybe more questions will arise, but so far only so. Many thanks to those who respond, I really hope for your help. I already have it for 2 weeks, I still hesitate, I'm afraid of new equipment. I read the instructions 10 times and did not understand what to do with this regulator.

Hello and welcome to visit us. The regulator must be turned either to the right or to the left, but not in the middle, then the pressure drops. Do not be afraid of technology, try it. When you plugged in the pressure cooker, you need to press the button on the pressure cooker to work. I don't have a multicooker either, but why do you need it?

Hello! Recently acquired Vimarchik! It seems like nothing, but today I was horrified after the recipe from the book semolina! Horror !!! Milk came out of the pressure regulator !!! Burnt, all the semolina at the bottom is a piece !!! Tell me what's wrong !!! So I hoped to feed the child with semolina !!

I don't know, I haven't tried to cook semolina porridge, so I can't say anything, type in the search at the top of our forum in the window - semolina porridge in a pressure cooker, maybe you will find some subtleties in other Temki.
What else did you like to cook?

Hello! I really liked the biscuit oven, really long, but it's worth it !!! THE RESULT IS AMAZING! inside, the color is very interesting, it looks like a mixture of several types of flour !!! I will wait for some new recipes from you !!!

Good evening everyone! I became the owner of the VIMAR VMC 241 Multicooker-pressure cooker. I bought it for a boom, I trusted the seller, after reading the reviews on the internet I was upset, but when I found you I was very happy !!! I have already baked a biscuit (45 minutes on Pastry), cooked borscht (25 minutes on Soup / frying 10 minutes on Pastries) while I like everything.

Greetings to all the newcomers, I'm glad that we congratulated ourselves with such a gift under the Christmas tree
Yl4a, and what is this brand VIMAR VMC 241? Here, in my opinion, no one has one, and there were 163,164,165 in stock before, does it look like mine on the first page?

Hello everyone. Take in your ranks. Today I also became, I hope, the happy owner of this device only brand 241. After the purchase, I read the forum all day. I was afraid to gossip, they say they slipped some kind of erunda that no one uses, but no, it turns out I'm not alone !!!! After reading everything, I can say that the menu is almost the same, only the shape of the buttons has changed and I do not have a compote button. I visited today to make pilaf. Overdid it with water. Since this is my first experience of working with such a clever technique, and there are really no instructions, and it was very hot to cook something, I decided to do everything as in an ordinary saucepan. I thought nothing special, they say, everything will be more likely. This was a fatal mistake. After a lapse of time, my pilaf remained floating in the water, although the rice was cooked. I ran it again for the minimum time, of course, less water, but the rice was boiled very well. In general, the first pancake is lumpy. But afterwards I was encouraged by your art of cooking and a huge variety of menus. I think it will be easier further))
By the way, I read problems with semolina. Someone else had something similar, otherwise I am so determined to actively use it for making milk porridge, it will sadly ruin the saucepan with burnt milk.

what is this brand VIMAR VMC 241? Here, in my opinion, no one has one, and there were 163,164,165 in stock before, does it look like mine on the first page?

Yes, it looks like))) I still can not insert pictures))) here is a reference 🔗... Yes, I have not seen anyone like this, well, at least the company is the same. While it suits me, I read your forum and save the recipes, I will definitely try to do everything.

It is clear, girls, the second wave has started, you get used to it, study your device, and then come up with the recipes themselves or share the subtleties of the most ordinary dishes, but prepared in our SV, there are always some nuances. I just bought Tanya-Froni from the girl, the same SV as I had before the Liberty 900, so I cook in turn in all and already on the machine, so I don't write much here.
Here HERE there are recipes for different MV-SV and 2 of mine, and you can put yours there, if you have more than 10, our dad CHEF-Cook will open a separate section for Vimars

Hello! I have Vimar 164, confused with the pressure regulator, when should I leave it open?

Hi kitty!
The fact is that I do not touch the regulator at all, and if something needs to be cooked without pressure - fry, for example, then I simply do not close the lid. And on such programs as Yogurt, Drinks, Baking, the pressure itself is not typed
Here Elenka wrote how she baked the meat and so that pressure did not build up and the meat did not turn out steamed-steamed, she simply took out a small silicone valve-pimp that blocks the lid, pressure was not gained and, accordingly, the meat was baked more than stewed

Girls, and in your Vimar 241 Yogurt remained? Only the Drinks have been removed?

[I decided to do everything as in an ordinary saucepan]

I visited today to make pilaf. Overdid it with water. Since this is my first experience of working with such a smart technique, but there are really no instructions, and it was very burning to cook something, I decided to do everything as in an ordinary saucepan... I thought nothing special, they say, everything will be more likely. This was a fatal mistake. After a lapse of time, my pilaf remained floating in the water, although the rice was cooked. I ran it again for the minimum time, of course, less water, but the rice was boiled very well.

Shtychka,
I read in our vast HP that water in the NE needs to be poured exactly 2 times less than on the stove.
The rest will come with experience

Girl tell me, what programs do you use for cooking? On those that you cook, for example, I cook steamed chicken and put chicken on the program? Although there is no fish program (I'm still thinking!
Share your experience, do you still like the cartoon more or not? And then I have doubts creep in whether I should go and exchange it for something else?

Vika, you can steam it absolutely on ANY program that goes under pressure, the main thing is to pour more water so that it does not boil away ahead of time and the saucepan does not burn out.
And about nravitstsa, not nravitstsa, then everyone chooses for themselves, personally, I have no serious claims to her for six months. because my main criterion when choosing was the presence of the Yogurt program, and it suits me more than. And by the way, this is almost the only SV with such a program, unlike MV, and you may have some other expectations and requirements from SV .. Here is a hot and fast Saturn, but with a completely problematic saucepan, to which you either need to have a spare wheel, or not fry there for a long time, in general, everyone judges according to their needs

and in general, all these programs in SV - Fish, Chicken, are more of a marketing ploy, which increases the price of the product, since there is practically the same cooking temperature and the time is chosen by everyone himself, for his particular dish. There is a SV with a mechanical toggle switch, like DEKH-40, and there is just cooking time, without a variety of programs and the girls are more than happy

Olya, thank you very much for your help. I was also very surprised to see the function of yogur in SV, and I was flattered by this, since it was also a priority for me. It is also important for me to steam, stew, and milk porridge. I'm definitely not going to fry anything there. Well, I’m reading from that one there every button there is to steam, fry the fish. Maybe I'll really adapt, otherwise it's just advertising and a price increase. I cooked pea soup today - just super! Fast and most importantly delicious !!!!

But my yogurt didn't work out, it turned out something like kefir. I warmed up the milk, added Activia bifido yogurt, poured it into cans and in a cartoon for 10 hours, I didn't add sugar on purpose, it tasted sour. :(What could it be?

[HERE]

Julia, how to insert a photo: HERE and the second way through the HP gallery HERE

but about yogurt, there may be several reasons:
a) has stood, overheated and therefore sour, but it is strange that in so many hours the serum did not rebound
b) if this is not a pharmacy sourdough, but store-bought yogurt, then it is all the more agrarian for 10 hours, there are also no living bacteria that need to wake up and multiply to make yogurt.You took a product prepared by someone and how it will behave in an alien environment is unknown, maybe all the bacteria have died in it from the expiration date or storage ..
c) milk has very good of great importance, if it is with antibiotics / preservatives, then they kill all living things, and no yogurt will work at all.
Work on the errors, maybe you will find the reason.

Hello everyone, recently I also became the owner of SV Vimar 165. I re-read the thread and I had a question: why does everyone write that in the Baking mode 45 minutes, and I have 18?

hi, SvetaKu
I have a different model and now they are being stamped in such a way that you will not have time for all the new products. My time on Baking does not change at all, either in plus or minus, it is stable 45 minutes and a mustache! Maybe girls with new models will tell you something

Thank rusja This I am not careful, it turns out that the time can be adjusted in this model. It's just that the recipes indicate 45 minutes. a biscuit is baked, I baked 2 times for 18 minutes (unknowingly that the time can be increased) and it burned a little.

Hello. Please tell me how to steam fish.

[@ Lentin @]

@ Lentin @
pour water into a bowl, install a grid with a hole, put fish on it and turn on ANY program that cooks under pressure and select the time according to the amount of your fish and its properties. If it is fillet, then 10-15 minutes should be enough, if river and large, it can be a little longer.
Good luck

Thank you very much ... just gave me a multicooker .. I will try .. I do not have the "multicooker" or "multicook" function

Did you give our Vimar? what number?

Vimar- VMC164 ..

Very good, Valya, only this is by no means a multicooker, but the most, that is, a true pressure cooker, only a few programs work there without pressure - Baking, Yogurt and Drinks (a completely useless program), and all the other buttons / programs are located on the scoreboard in 2 rows - cook under pressure and block the lid after boiling.
Good luck in learning

[rusja]

rusja, Hello. I am the new owner of this well. I have already tried several recipes. But one of your recipes haunts me))) How did you make Adyghe cheese? Very much on fire. Thank you!

hello girls who knows, tell me, I want to make a biscuit. what to do with the pressure regulator, raise it or it must be closed. Thank you in advance!

Wimar 241, did someone make a biscuit? Or just a biscuit recipe. Or maybe he doesn't cook in the pressure cooker? Urgently needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have Vimar 165, I mainly use it for stewing meat and baking biscuits, unfortunately there is no yegurt program, but I'm not particularly sad. I like to cook meat, and there is an opportunity to exhibit time on some programs. SV is happy.

Can I have a biscuit recipe?

Why doesn't anyone want to answer? The old-timers have already played enough, but we who have just bought no help, sadness!

While there is no one, I will answer, in the UK you can cook biscuits according to any recipes, there are many recipes, on the website, you do not need to do anything with the valve, there is no pressure in the baking mode, cook for health, do not be afraid, put the cooked mass in a saucepan, always grease it beforehand rast. butter turns on the baking function and voila !!! :-) :-)

Thanks for the answer. We tried to bake a classic biscuit, but ... The time is written 45 minutes, we stood it, but the biscuit turned out to be raw, we set the time for heating for another 15 minutes, well, in general, it’s not that good, it rose badly, etc. Not the biscuit, as in the picture show. What is the reason? Maybe another time is needed? The whole trick is that they bought a saucepan for a student, tried a bunch of recipes, everything worked out, I wanted something sweet (my mother wasn’t around), and then such a piece came out. Tell me please.

I have a 165model, I have a menu button, I press it and set the time + - I don’t know about you, I don’t get everything right away, I keep it with the lid open for 10 minutes, then a little on heating, but with the lid closed :-): -) maybe the dough is too liquid ???

What time do you expose? How much is baked in fact? The dough should not be liquid, made for 3 eggs, 1 tbsp. flour, 1 tbsp. sugar, 1 tsp. l. baking powder.

Especially I ran and looked at your model, there is also a menu button there, first select the program, then click on + or - depending on whether to add time or decrease it :-) :-) :-)
