Pressure cooker Polaris PPC 0305AD (reviews)

By the way, ladies, I used it to make yogurt. More precisely, not yogurt, but varenets)))) I fermented milk with bifido-varenets. He seemed to me more "alive". It has a shelf life of 5 days. I heated the water in a pressure cooker to 35-40 degrees, put the jars and closed the lid, closed the valve too. She stood with me all night like a thermos. The milk was natural, rustic, of course, not whole, but very tasty. During the night it all fermented there, and it turned out to be a wonderful sour-milk product. Not very thick, but very tasty.

That is, set the time to 30 minutes, and the "pressure" 1 (the temperature will be 120 degrees.)
It should work.

But it seems to me that it will not work, 30 minutes. small, will not bake, the dough is heavy ... 60-80 minutes are needed.

[tysia]

tysia, I agree with you: 30 minutes for a cottage cheese casserole (and even, as it turned out from 3 packs of cottage cheese !!!) is not enough. Yesterday I obviously got excited at night looking.
Perhaps it is worth starting such baking from 60 minutes. Mannik lasted 50 minutes, but the dough was fat-free.

[tysia]

Decided to write his impression of the pressure cooker.
I hope it will be useful to those who are still choosing a pressure cooker for themselves or rushing between several (as I did until recently).
On the 1st page tysia (Natalia) has already inserted a photo, wrote down the characteristics of the device, shared her opinion. I will try not to repeat myself.

My cottage cheese was also good, Korovkin, not a store one. And I baked a casserole according to the recipe book on the "Pastry" for 30 minutes. But the bottom is burnt, and the top is a liquid, unbaked mass. Charlotte is baked on Pastry in 30 minutes with a bang. But the casserole is not. Another time I tried 15 minutes on Rice, the same thing.

and I'm in my land life. Charlotte always baked rice for 8 minutes, I haven't tried this one yet, but I can't bake it for 30 minutes in a charlotte. me really time-electricity was a pity, I sometimes meticulous bore with this case: crazy:

[FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE POLARIS PPS 0305 AD.]

FIRST IMPRESSION OF THE POLARIS PPS 0305 AD.

ABOUT THE BOX.
Bright. Convenient. Informative.

On the box itself there is all information about the device!



The modes are indicated, the possibility of choosing 3 levels of pressure (from 40 to 70 kPa), the volume of the pot is 5 liters, the power is 900 W, accessories. It is said about 6 degrees of protection, about a delay timer up to 24 hours, about saving the program in case of a power failure -20 minutes. etc.
It is very convenient, since you do not need to look at the instructions. And the buyer in the store without the seller will be able to form their opinion about this pressure cooker.

The box has secure carrying handles.

ABOUT THE CUP.
The bowl is coated with non-stick Whitford. It is not only inside, but also outside.
The level scale inside the pot is convex. Because of this, it is better visible. The scale is also visible from the outside of the pan.
Pot weight 588g
The bottom is even, without honeycombs. This makes it easier to leave (everything is washed very easily).
Even if something happens to the pan, you can buy a replacement at the service. Or, as it turned out, take cups from CB LandLife. Ceramics or stainless steel.

ABOUT THE CONTROL PANEL.
Outwardly very pleasant. (For me personally, this is very important!) Everything is clear, informative. Programs are immediately visible (no need to go into the menu and search, as in some multicooker). When you press the button, the indicator lights up for the programs.
Separate buttons are available for the programs "SOUP", "Porridge", "PREHEAT", "FRY", "BAKING". Under one button there are programs "MEAT ON BONE" - "COLDER", "RICE" - "PLOV".



With one button "HEALTHY FOOD" you can select 6 more programs.



The indicator will light up for the program you have selected.

There are pressure indicators 1,2,3 at the top of the display.
1 - the lowest (40 kPa)
3 - the highest (70 kPa).
2 - average (I will assume that about 55 kPa).
Press the "PRESSURE" button to select the desired pressure level.
There are also very important buttons “TIMER” and “COOKING TIME” on the panel. The first button can be used to select a delayed cooking up to 24 hours. (Alas, the step of change is 1 hour. This is not very convenient! In multicooker, I have a step of 10 minutes.)
Using the COOKING TIME button, you can independently select a cooking time from 1 to 99 minutes. (In other multicooker / pressure cookers, most often this button is called "YOUR CHOICE", "MANUAL MODE", etc.) That is, you can cook according to your own recipes without using ready-made programs.

girls, I salivated, I went to make mashed potatoes, thank you I didn't know what to cook for dinner today, I also got a good pressure on the pressure of 3; Yes?

ABOUT THE PROGRAMS.
They are declared 14. But in reality 15!
Under one button are "BONE MEAT / COLD", "RICE / PLOV". Only "BAKING" and "FRYING" work without pressure.
"WARMING UP" was attributed to programs, although, in my opinion, this is a function.

I will name all the programs, as well as the time adjustment intervals and the change step. (I think these are very important parameters when choosing a multicooker / pressure cooker.)
Program Step Time
"MEAT ON BONE / COLD": 25 min-1 hour, step 1 min.
"SOUP": 15-40 min., Step 5 min.
"Porridge" 5-40 min., Step 5 min.
"WARM UP" 10-30 min., Step 1 min.
"RIS / PLOV" 8 min. - 1 hour, step 1 min.
"FRYING" 10-40 min., Step 5 min.
"BAKING" 30 min. - 2 hours, step 5 min.
"BEAN" 20-50 min., Step 5 min.
"STEAMER" 5-35 min., Step 1 min.
EXTINGUISHING 20 - 1 hour, step 5 min.
Buckwheat 5-35 min., Step 1 min.
"CHEESE" 10-40 min., Step 5 min.
"SLOW COOKER" 30 min. - 3 hours, step 10 min.

Of course, it would be much more convenient if the time could be set from 1 minute. But even so, the boundaries are quite reasonable, in my opinion.
The only surprise is that "HEAT" and "WARM UP" from 10 minutes. During this time, the products will boil up on the "RAIN UP"! We'll have to turn it off manually earlier.
And so any inconvenience can be compensated for by manual mode.

After pressing the program buttons the process starts after 3 seconds... It's very fast! You don't have time to think over all the parameters and change them, if necessary. You have to press "CANCEL" and set again. It would be more convenient to work with the "START" button

ABOUT INSTRUCTIONS.
It is enough to understand how the device works. It tells about everything: about safety, about the device, about the modes and their choice, about the correct closing of the lid, about how to use the measuring scale in the pan, about cleaning. (After instructions to "POLARIS 0506" and to SV "LAND LIFE" this very informative! )
It would be possible to describe in more detail how to install the "DELAY", give an example of the algorithm of work.

Found information inconsistency.
The instructions say (page 9, item 3): "In the event of a sudden power outage, all settings are saved for 10 minutes." The box says 20 minutes! What to believe?

There is an inaccuracy in the short table of cooking modes (page 15): it is indicated that for "Kashi" the lower time setting limit is 15 minutes. Actually 5 minutes. (This is confirmed by the instruction itself on page 11.)

ABOUT THE COVER.
Heavy. It closes very easily. There is an arrow on it, which must be aligned with the same arrow on the handle of the pan. Which direction to close is indicated on the stickers. It is impossible to confuse. I got it right the first time.
It is very convenient that the cover is removable.
1. She will be easy to care for. (You don't have to unscrew anything to separate from the case).
2. Can be removed and put away so that it does not interfere with frying, for example. Since it is attached on the right side, it can be inconvenient for right-handers.
In order not to look for a place for the lid on the desktop, there is a hole in one of the handles of the case. The cover is fixed vertically in it. Condensate after cooking from the fixed lid along the groove quietly flows into the drip tray.
In my opinion, the design of the lid is very well thought out.
The elastic band does not warp, it is not necessary to correct it. This is also convenient.

ABOUT ACCESSORIES.
Measuring cup, spatula, steaming grid, removable cord and drip tray - these accessories are included.
Standard measuring cup with scale up to 160 ml. A spatula in thorns, it is good to stir rice and cereals. For all other manipulations I will use silicone spoons / spatulas.
Steam cooking grate, metal. Therefore, it is advisable to use a cloth napkin or silicone mat under it. This will protect the pot from accidental scratches.
The black cord, it seems to me, does not quite match the white pressure cooker. I will replace it with white.

ABOUT RECIPES.
There is not a single recipe in the instruction itself. But a separate recipe book is attached. There are 28 of them. Very affordable products (for example, "Rassolnik", "Chicken in sour cream", "Rice", "Curd casserole"). All this can be prepared even by the most inexperienced housewife. And this is a big plus. The accuracy of the recipes themselves (their verification) can be judged a little later, after the experiments.

SUMMARY.
A very functional device. Thoughtful. Outwardly cute.
But nevertheless, the name should be corrected: there are only 2 programs without pressure, which means that this is primarily a pressure cooker. You can add a "slow cooker" "for beauty" (as in one of the models very popular now).
It would sound more correct "Slow cooker pressure cooker Polaris 0305 AD".

[Manna.]

Here are the first courses cooked in a pressure cooker.
Manna.


The most gorgeous bottom! Without any burns and burns!

His piece.

Mashed potatoes.



The most delicate! It took 8 minutes to prepare +7 minutes to build up the pressure!

[Dani]

girls, I salivated, I went to make mashed potatoes, thank you I didn't know what to cook for dinner today, I also got a good pressure on the pressure of 3; Yes?

Dani, the recipe for mashed potatoes has now been corrected. But I will explain here too.
Press the "Cooking time" button (01 pops up), select level 3 with the "Pressure" button, then again with the "+" button, change the time to the required 8 minutes.
To understand how to install my time with the "Cooking Time" button I had to practice! It's bad that the instructions don't say anything about this!

This is the general algorithm when working with manual settings.

Algorithm for setting the manual mode.
1. Press the "Cooking time" button (01 appears)).
2. Press the "Pressure" button and select the one you need.
3. Set the cooking time by pressing the "+" button.

and I'm in my land life. Charlotte always baked rice for 8 minutes, I haven't tried this one yet, but I can't bake it for 30 minutes in a charlotte. me really time-electricity was a pity, I sometimes meticulous bore with this case: crazy:

I read somewhere (kill me, I don't remember where) that you need to bake a charlotte for 30 minutes. We should try like you on rice. Maybe it will work out? And savings won't hurt either

[Elena]

We should try like you on rice.

Elena, on "Rice" the girls baked in SV Brand 6050. There are many different recipes for this mode in their branch. Take your pick.

Elena, are Brand and ours similar in temperature? Can you easily adapt their recipes to us?

[Elena]

Elena, you can, but not all. Because 6050 has only one pressure, high.
But the brand new 6051 already has 5 pressure options, it is closer to us. You can take recipes from Shteba, Oursson, Binaton.
Of course, fit recipes can be from any pressure cooker. But from the above-mentioned SV recipes are suitable with little or no fit. (In my opinion, of course)

[Dani]

and I'm in my land life. Charlotte always baked rice for 8 minutes, I haven't tried this one yet, but I can't bake it for 30 minutes in a charlotte.

DaniI think there is still a difference. Rice works under pressure, but Baking does not. Therefore, the time is different. But to find out where the result is better / worse, you can only try both options.

Thank you, Elena. As a beginner, I have very useful information. I didn’t have multicooker before this shaitan machine. And my friends did not use them. Therefore, while I wander in the dark. But interesting!

[Elena]

Elena, I can imagine how difficult it is to start cooking not on the stove, but on electrical appliances. Ask any questions. We'll figure out. I am always open to communication.
I’ll tell you a secret, not all my friends have cartoons either, and I’ve already “hooked” my relatives and neighbors on this wonderful drug.

[Elena]

Elena, I can imagine how difficult it is to start cooking not on the stove, but on electrical appliances.

If it were not for the problems with gas (we bought an apartment in a new house, it is not known when gas will be supplied), I would not have thought of buying such a device. And, thank God, I stumbled upon this particular model and intuitively settled on it. And now, having used it for a month and reading this topic, I understand - not in vain! More and more I like this thing And thank you all, ladies!

[LenTolna]

LenTolna, and thank you!!
And I, having both a multicooker and a pressure cooker, more and more often catch myself thinking that I don’t need 4 burners on the stove (even though I have gas), if I live to see the repair, I will put a hob with two burners .. I’m just heating the kettle on the stove, but I’m frying cutlets with cheesecakes ...

I’m just heating the kettle on the stove, and frying cutlets with cheesecakes ...

Natalya, this is probably because you don't have a grill yet, I know

[Natalia]

I’m just heating the kettle on the stove, and frying cutlets with cheesecakes ...

Natalia, I have not fried cheese cakes or cutlets on the stove for a long time. For this I use an aerogrill, and more recently the VVK electric grill. The result is many times better than in a pan! And dietary dishes are obtained.
I would also gladly change the stove for a smaller one, but I have glass ceramics and kitchen furniture for only a year.

I want to warn everyone not to make my mistake: the sticker next to the menu got dirty with grease - I decided to remove it, but it was not there, of course the paper lags behind, but the glue created such a film that simply cannot be removed (I tried it with household chemicals, microfiber), from the knife scratches remain .. Be careful!

Nataliawhat a pity ... thanks for the warning!
Recently here on the site in one of the branches I read about a spray for wiping off traces from stickers, scotch tape. Maybe he can help.

Oh, girls, you need to be more careful with chemistry on stainless steel, such stains may remain ... figs then you can do anything ... Such stains are well cleaned with a steam cleaner, I had it on the hood ...

Hi. I wanted to ask, but is it really possible to make baked goods in it? Closed pies, for example

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, this model has a full-fledged "Baking" mode. It works without pressure, like any multicooker. You can even choose 3 types of heating from 120 to 150 degrees.
So you can bake almost any dough.
In this Temka there is a photo of a biscuit, a pie with potatoes, a manna. You can see the result.

[Vegetables for the salad.]

Today I cooked vegetables for salad. It turned out quickly and well.
Vegetables for the salad.
Potatoes - 5 pcs.,
carrots -2 pcs.
All vegetables are large.
STEAMING mode, pressure - 2, time -10 minutes (12 minutes).

I took a fresh look at the capabilities of the supplied metal steamer. It is convenient to place potatoes ... vertically (between the grates). Fits much more. So she cooked.



Comment.
When preparing the salad, it turned out that several potatoes were not soft enough. I had to cook it.
This means that with a vertical arrangement of vegetables, it is better to increase the time to 12 minutes. With horizontal, 10 will be enough (I made an amendment to the recipe).

I want to warn everyone not to make my mistake: the sticker next to the menu got dirty with grease - I decided to remove it, but it was not there, of course the paper lags behind, but the glue created such a film that simply cannot be removed (I tried it with household chemicals, microfiber), from the knife scratches remain .. Be careful!

It may not be relevant anymore, but you never know who else will come in handy - such a sticky film from scotch tape, stickers can be easily removed with ordinary white spirit, and neither plastic nor metal deteriorates, just moisten the cotton swab and rub it a little without fanaticism.

and I'm in my land life. Charlotte always baked rice for 8 minutes

Thanks for the tip: rose: I just took out a charlotte. It turned out even better than it did in the Bakery, it went up better. In general, with a set of pressure, 15 minutes happened. Now that's the only way I will do

I recite the mantra:
AMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-I don't need a grill, I don't need a grill, I don't need a grill ..... I need a gas meter ...

Natalya, we have half of the city already sitting on these pressure cookers, of course, and on a gas grill, maybe later I will also buy such a thing. gas grill, this is such a frying pan with a hole in the grid and a high lid, chicken wings or fish lie there ... kebab, donuts. buns, muffins and everything that fits on the gas and turns out like in a grill. only everything is so fast .. for example, cupcakes rise for two times to mine in 10-15 minutes. if you bake a duck in the oven during this time, only put everything in the oven ...

Elena you still try potato pie, also with the rice button. True, Polaris has the lowest time for baking 30, I put 24 in land life, - the potatoes were already inside the dough was ready on top ... and then turned it into 8 rice .. and here in polaris you can make 30 for baking pressure 2 or even 3.and then turn the rice over for 8 minutes - maybe on porridge it is possible for 5 minutes instead of rice and on pressure 3.to fry, the second overturn after the baking button essentially needs only to fry the top part and dot the potatoes, although I I was in a hurry and when I made a lot of pies in a row, then I cut down the rice myself in 4 minutes and everything was already like 8, so I think everything is ok in a short time. will be.

And the girls I did pilaf yesterday, but for 12 minutes at 3 pressure, I put less water than I usually put in the land life, and such a deliciousness turned out ... because all the same my suspicions were justified, at pressure 3 everything is somehow even steamed in pilaf and water is needed less a bit .. did so for 2 glasses not quite chock-full of rice, 3 glasses and plus a little on the bottom below half more. a little bit. and pilaf is not dry and not wet but crumbly. at a pressure of 3., for a long time I have not done such deliciousness. in land life. I always put 4 glasses or even 4.5-5. and then when you open the lid after 5 minutes, if you open the lid, the excess water evaporated by itself .. and if the water was not added, it was dry, and if you shift it, it was a bit damp, and then right there is a rice to the rice, I love polaris and pressure 3

[Dani111]

Dani111Thank you for the ideas for using RICE for baking! I will definitely experiment.
Your observation about the ratio of rice to water is completely consistent with mine. :) Two days ago I exhibited the recipe "Spicy rice and meatballs with cheese".

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=302916.0
It turned out well with a ratio of 1: 1.5. By the way, this is the classic ratio when cooking rice! And it works in our pressure cooker. This makes me happy!

[Oatmeal with raisins on the water]

Today White Riding Hood has delighted me with a delicious breakfast. There was no way to stand at the stove, so I entrusted the porridge to the pressure cooker. It turned out quickly and tasty!

Oatmeal with raisins on the water.

For 1 serving:
Oat flakes (15-minute cooking) - ½ stack.
Water - 1 stack.
A pinch of salt.
Sugar - 1 tsp
Raisins - 2 tbsp. l.
1 glass = 250g
Manual mode: Pressure-1, time - 3 min.

[curd casserole]

Baked yesterday curd casserole according to a fancy recipe.Everything was baked in 60 minutes at low pressure.
Here is the bottom (the photo distorts the color - it is golden)


Here's the top.


The casserole is "thin", because only 300g of cottage cheese.

["Stewed potatoes and sausages for frying".]

Prepared "Stewed potatoes and sausages for frying".



https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=303336.0

Delicious!

The question is about the valve for the descent. If at the end I do not have time to turn it to the end, then I can no longer bring my hand closer to it - I burn myself with steam.
Is this a product defect or should it be so? Otherwise, it seems to me that steam should come out only from the side of the holes and not from the side of the lever.

if I need to, I always lower the valve with a towel, climb there with my hands, that's for sure this has nothing to do with marriage ..

girls, how does she bake? I then read the whole topic and did not understand. how is the bowl cover?
it appeared in ukraine, and the price is good, and I rushed about ... yesterday still buy a multicooker, today this pressure cooker, I have no rest. I really need baking, I lost the habit of baking in the oven, and yesterday my liberton retired, resisted for a long time, but yesterday he could not cope with the cheesecake ...
I also have a Liberty pressure cooker, but she fries the baked goods a bit, I really love the casseroles :-)
and there is also Orion and also stopped baking ... but from the very beginning I did not like baking in it

[fronya40,]

fronya40, Polaris bakes very well. I baked both manna and cottage cheese casserole. Below is the most delicate crust, baked dough. The girls made biscuits and pies. The photo is in the subject.
On the "BAKING" program, you can select the temperature: 120, 135, 150 degrees. This makes it possible to bake bread, and muffins, and pies.
In addition, Dani 111 offered an oven at RIS.
So there are many opportunities for baking!
A decent saucepan. Washable easily. Nothing sticks to it.

[fronya40]

girls, how does she bake?

fronya40, Your question prompted me to another culinary experiment.
Baked charlotte.



A piece:


Baking bottom:

(Dark spots are berries)

And the saucepan itself after baking:

(I didn't grease the sides of the saucepan ...)

It seems to me that it turned out with dignity. Tasty for sure. I'll post the recipe later.
"Think for yourself, decide for yourself ..."

P.S. I love my Brand multicooker very dearly, but I began to like baked goods in Polaris more ... The bottom is smooth and beautiful (without the slightest burn). Easier to cut and collect cakes. Well, the pan is easier to wash, because there are no honeycombs.

Girls owners of Polaris 0305 !!!
A huge request for you - please measure the saucepan in all parameters: height, diameter with and without sides, circumference

girls, what does it mean - multicooker and pressure cooker programs? can you cook broth in it, for example, not in a pressure cooker?
