Multicooker Brand 701

Yes, choice is our everything!
In general, it doesn't matter whether it's mixed up or not, the main thing is that thanks to testing, you can understand the principle of operation of each program and apply them consciously to your dishes, all the names are still quite relative.

I have already spoken about this ... but I will say it again ... it does not matter at all what the regime is called. What matters is how it works. And I really like that there are three such different modes as "Porridge", "Soup" and "Stew". Moreover, "Manual" is so flexible. There is a flight for creativity. I'm very happy with the cartoon. Although, of course, I would like the bowl as in 37501

Why am I worried then? ...
The fish needs at least 20 minutes. cook. And it boiled for only 10 minutes (then t = 90 kept)

Let the beginning of the boil be 100 ... Then at least 98, and again 100, in order to invest in the norms (20-minute).
And for extinguishing - this is just an excellent temperature regime

[Irish]

Irish, so 90 ° C is enough for the fish, especially since the fish initially went through a boil. So, there is nothing to worry about at all.
As for the temperature algorithm ... tomorrow I'll try to take measurements in my copy.

Good. I also planned to take measurements again. Just repeat with water. But put it off until later

About the program "Quenching" - it is quite correct, and even in accordance with our old GOST standards.

Extinguishing
Braising is the preparation of food with oil, water, and acids combined together. It is not possible without frying and can sometimes be a continuation of cooking. Mainly meat, poultry, solid vegetables are stewed.
Basic conditions for extinguishing.
• Pre-frying the product or boiling it followed by frying.
• Combination of fried product, oil and juice from frying and a small amount of water in one bowl.
• Tightly sealed dishes, preferably thick-walled. When extinguishing, try not to open the lid.
• Duration of cooking from 45 minutes on the stove (that's where you need a pressure cooker) and up to one and a half hours in the oven.
• At the end of stewing, when the water evaporates, not water is added, but denser or sour liquids - cream, sour cream, fruit or vegetable juice, vinegar, grape wine.
• All components are stewed in one dish. The more there are and the more varied they are, the tastier the dish will be.
• Water is added to all stews only in the form of boiling water.
• At the end of stewing, seasonings and spices are added to the finished dish.

If you need to stew vegetables, then we reduce the time.

I stewed not very soft beef twice, the last time I set it to 2.5 hours. It turned out great!

I got the same soft meat when cooking on the "Manual" in a pressure cooker at non-boiling temperatures, for a long time and in a bag (not sous-vide).

But! Not as tasty as in this cartoon. Why dont know....

I also noticed that the meat in this cartoon turns out to be tastier than in other multicooker. Now I cook meat only in 701
Today I stewed cabbage at "Stew". No excess moisture. Class!

We, too, seem more and more tasty in this slow cooker - especially cereals, meat, yogurt.
Today I again prepared thick yogurt with 20% cream, milk and yogurt "Bio-max" (recipe from the Brand 6051 pressure cooker recipe book). YOGURT-1 program, time 6 hours.
It turned out thick and tasty. I sent it to the refrigerator for ripening ...

With milk porridge, I gave up hope - to run; Apparently, the Chinese made my copies to their tastes. Here, in this program, you can only change the time, but you cannot change the temperature, or catch the moment and have time to open the lid and then close it.

Delicious oatmeal turns out, but tear off the valve and the lid later ...

With milk porridge, I gave up hope - to run;

Well, you must ... And everything is ok with me (t-t-t), even strange!

Mine were probably collected on New Year's Eve ...
Well, lucky in another

[Girls]

Girls, I also like the Extinguish mode. especially stewing meat.
We like to bake chicken pieces like that. first about 20 minutes on the Fry or Baking (until golden brown on both sides),
and then 15-20 minutes on Extinguishing. The taste is extraordinary!
About porridge ... if I make hercules on a delay. cap always clean, but if I do it without delay-
sometimes the lid is clean, sometimes "spattered" and what is the reason .. it is not clear.
Although the cereals are from the same pack, the milk from the same manufacturer ..
Can. the reason is "magnetic storms" ..
Yes, and also, it seems to me, in the baby it is necessary to cook porridge for 1/2 m. or 1/4 m. st. cereals,
at 1 m. st. there is not enough grain for her in the saucepan, maybe that's why she runs.
I cook small portions of porridge, 1 m. Art. I don't, there is no one to eat ..

About porridge ... if I make hercules on a delay. the lid is always clean, and if I do it without delay-
sometimes the lid is clean, sometimes "spattered" and what is the reason .. it is not clear.

Why, it is very understandable. The flakes absorb liquid overnight, swell and when the cooking time comes, the consistency becomes more uniform.
I think the porridge should be prepared according to the principle; the first 20-30 minutes at a swelling temperature, 80-90 degrees, and then an increase in temperature to a boil and at the end again 80-90 degrees. It seems to me that with this algorithm, porridge should not run away ...

So I was lucky - oat porridge didn't run away today!

Everything is as usual - a glass of cereal, 2 glasses of water + 2 glasses of milk. salt, granulated sugar. What changed - mixed and added a piece of butter on top.

I made an ambush, put my camera down next to me, I wait - in case of an escape, open and close the lid. But she did not run ...

A trifle, but nice ...

I think the porridge should be prepared according to the principle; the first 20-30 minutes at a swelling temperature of 80-90 degrees, and then an increase in temperature to a boil and at the end again 80-90 degrees. It seems to me that with this algorithm, porridge should not run away ...

Exactly! A friend of mine has a need to cook small portions of skim grains in pure milk with a minimum of salt. * JOKINGLY * Naturally, porridge does not want to behave decently. I will offer her the following algorithm: first, Manual mode at a temperature of 85 degrees, then switch to Kasha mode. Time to pick up depending on the cookability of the cereal.

We went to the mountains for a week, took mulka with me to cook masika to eat. My son is one year and four months old, I don’t give adult food yet, and I don’t want to go to a cafe every three or four hours to feed the little one. In addition, it is not known whether something from their menu would suit him.
I cooked milk porridge and compotes in a mule (I also took a blender-steamer for meat and vegetables). At home I used silicone spatulas, spoons, ladles, but somehow I didn't want to take them with me for 700 km - I threw them in from the kit.
Mulka perfectly endured the road without special packaging, and there is not a trace of plastic stirrers on the bowl. I'm happy

[BAKERY PRODUCTS]

Testing the program BAKERY PRODUCTS

I decided to bake my CHEESE BASKET

PRODUCTS:
1. Casserole dough 1/2 serving.
2. Zest of 1/2 large lemon

Lubricated the bowl with sunflower oil. Poured the dough and turned on the mode BAKERY PRODUCTS (45 minutes by default). Time did not change.
15 minutes after the countdown, I touched the multicooker: the body on the sides is slightly warm, the lid is at room temperature.
Dough in progress:



After half an hour, the multicooker body became a little warmer. The lid did not heat up.
At the end of the process, the smell of baking was barely perceptible.
The case is moderately hot. The lid is slightly warm.
I look inside and realize that there was not enough time for the casserole. Although on the sides the "blush" was noticeable.
Include pastries again for 20 minutes.

I put it in the form.Pops out with ease
It is very unusual to see such a "blonde" top.



I send it back to the bowl to lightly brown on mode FRYING (1) literally for 5 minutes.
It could have been more, but I was afraid to overexpose.









Everything is baked.
And the zest added a fresh, fresh note to the recipe.

I look inside and realize that there was not enough time for the casserole. Although on the sides the "blush" was noticeable.
I turn on the baking again for 20 minutes.

Irish, what were you guided by when you decided that there was not enough time?
I'm looking at the final product .... it seems to me that the crust is too fried. Not for an amateur, of course, but still.

The dough is very loose. The skewer was in the test.
And the sides are already browned

Could you turn it over and bake further? The dough would just settle down.

I join those who love to cook meat on Stew. Cut into small pieces, Stew for 1 hour, then salt, pepper, bell pepper in slices, onion in half rings and another Stew for 30 minutes.
The meat is juicy, tender, light-skinned, slightly toasted

	Pork 620 g. At the end of stewing, I switched on another 10 minutes of Frying for more ruddy, then added basil.
	The beef was 450 g. The beef was frozen, 1 m / s of water was added to it at once and another 1/4 m / s of water at the 2nd stage with pepper and onion

[Design]

I finished the obligatory program in testing.

Short description:

Design

Bowl - with corrugated surface and ceramic non-stick coating.
Easy to clean. Full volume - 3 liters, working volume - 2 liters.

Display - good, easily distinguishable, with large values.

Sound accompaniment - moderate, not annoying, melodic.

Removable cover - convenient, you can remove and rinse thoroughly. Removing and installing is simple.

Carrying handle - attached to the body, which is convenient for moving (empty, of course, I would not recommend to anyone to carry it with hot soup). After all, there is not always a stationary place for cooking and storage at the same time.

Anti-slip housing - there are rubber pads on the rear legs that prevent unwanted slipping.

Moisture collector - absent, moisture collects on the rim of the case, which has no limitation for the concentration of moisture in the back of the rim, as in other multicooker that does not have a special container. This is not very convenient.

Steam release valve - has a fairly simple design, about strength - time will tell.

Accessories (a spoon, a ladle, a holder, a measuring cup and two steamers) - the first three are rarely used in practice at home, because if you put a spoon that has just been mixed with soup in the holder, the liquid will drain down the handle of the spoon onto the body and table.


We use the glass much more often and more actively.
Steam cookers are probably also used often, personally I rarely use plastic.

Programs.

I conventionally divided them into three groups for myself.

1. Programs that think for you - automatic - put cereals, poured water and pressed the appropriate button.
2. Programs in which we ourselves decide what cooking time and what temperature.
3. Programs in which there is co-creation - the cartoon offers a preset temperature and time, which, in case of disagreement, can be changed up or down.

The first group includes the "Groats" program with sub-modes 1, 2 and 3.
How to choose the right ratio of water to cereals is described in detail and correctly in the instructions on page 10.
I have used all the sub-modes, and I am very pleased with the result.
Green buckwheat
Quinoa
Fettuccine with porcini mushrooms
Tagliatelle with black truffle
Hulled rice risotto with leeks and truffle oil
Black rice with seafood

The second group is "Manual program", my favorite.
Five stages, the ability to set any cooking time from 0 minutes to 9 hours 59 minutes and set the desired temperature, starting from 25 degrees (preset) and up to 150 degrees.

With this program, I began my acquaintance with my multicooker.
Stew of zucchini and porcini mushrooms
Mushrooms with red wine and balsamic vinegar
Amur dumplings
Besermyanskaya pizza - baking
Chicken fillet in cheese sauce in 15 minutes
Rabbit soup

The third group - semi-automatic - the temperature is already set, but the time can be changed.
It:
Frying - three sub-modes - "Vegetables", "Meat" and "Fish".
Bercy egg
Caramelized onions
Prolonged frying is not recommended - thin-walled bowl and plastic body, although overheating protection works.

Yogurt - three sub-modes
Prepared sour cream and basic starter cultures for yoghurt and acidophilus.
Sour cream
The quality of sourdough and sour cream was very good!

Steam.
Compote came out well from the recipe book!

Bakery products
Honey cake from Andreevna
Paille potatoes baked with cheese and sour cream
Baked pumpkin with mushrooms
Tart Taten with apples on a biscuit
Green beans, pumpkin and zucchini baked with cheese

Soup
Soup with meatballs and yellow Turkish lentils
Consomme protagnier

Porridge
You need to take a closer look at the program "Porridge" and adapt - porridge is not the same. Different cereals, liquid, and the temperature and algorithm have already been set, you can only change the cooking time.

Extinguishing
Chicken thigh fillet stuffed with bacon and garlic
Russian-style beef stew
Ore with pasta
Bef Ogarev
For meat, this program is ideal, provided that the weight is no more than 1 kg and the liquid is up to the middle of the meat level.

Dough
I didn't have time to try the program "Dough".

Heating up and heating up.
"Warming up" brings the contents of the bowl to a boil. But when - the multicooker is modestly silent about this, that is, there are no indications of the countdown on the display during the operation of this program. Squeaks gently when she decides enough is enough.
I used it for cooking chicken breast and for self-cleaning.

Heating - can be turned off. Heats up and maintains the temperature within 80 degrees (my guess).

Control.
Simple, everything is described in detail in the instructions.
In the "Manual Program" you only need to understand once how everything is set up, and then no difficulties arise.

Instructions.
Written with great detail and diligence.
They forgot to describe the program "Dough", but it does not require a detailed description - the temperature has already been programmed, and the time is indicated on the plate on page 23.

Book of recipes
A colorful booklet, an overwhelming number of recipes are selected and adapted for this multicooker.

Impressions.
Lightweight, easy to use and maintain. Very decent for its price range, with extended functionality. Indispensable for travel, at work, in the country.
At home - for a small family.
Greatly simplifies cooking for very busy or inattentive, forgetful people.

Wishes.
Improve the quality of the bowl, change the design of the body rim.

Perhaps so

I took my new multicooker yesterday. First of all, I baked a charlotte in it. Bakes well True, I messed up with the dough myself, so no photo. But it was baked in 1 hour perfectly. And this morning - porridge. She ran away (As violently as in the previous multicooker.

[Zhenechka]

Zhenechka, but tell me more about porridge. Was she on hold? What cereal? Proportion? Only with milk or with water?

[Mannochka]

No, Mannochka, everything is as usual. Equal proportions of rice, millet, corn grits, washed oooooooooooooo good. Milk in a ratio of 1: 6. The volume of milk is about 400 ml. I didn't measure the temperature, because until I figured out the thermometer But it was gushing again with a fountain through the valve, and now it boils a little, even "boils" it's hard to call (

Well, yes, corn grits and millet, of course, foam milk a lot. Apparently, it is still better to cook such cereals at 95 ° C or with a delay (so that the cereal absorbs some volume of liquid), as the girls suggested

Ran away

Well, fir-trees ... I sympathize, Zhen.

If you need a reliable MV specifically for cereals, take a small Panas, it is now being sold at a good price.
Oh, you have a little radish.
In general, do not be upset, otherwise you will definitely be lucky

Of course, I was upset.Yes, I have a radish. But for me, two multi - the best option both in terms of employment and in place (or rather, lack of it)) So you have to adapt to what is

I am more and more convinced that there can be no unique multicooker. One does one thing better, the other does another. At first I cooked almost everything in 701, and now the functions of multicooker are more and more distributed. Now in 701 I cook mainly meat. I use three modes for stewing: "Porridge", "Soup" and "Stewing". I fry the meat (if the size allows) in a contact grill. I cook side dishes at 37501. And porridge - at 01 (solely because of the size of the bowl - it is narrow at the bottom). I usually boil porridge in water, and add milk after boiling cereals and leave it on the heating for 20 minutes.

So, and this is the beauty of having several cartoons, you know which one and what cooks better, and it is not difficult to distribute responsibilities between them, and you will always be sure of an excellent result.
I don't even know how to live with one cartoon ...

Yeah, but I want one, but universal) Well, maximum two)

In short, if this multicooker had a bowl like a binatoshka, the quality of plastic and a moisture collector like that of a little Panasonic, cooking milk porridge like that of Redmond - well, just like that of Gogol - “If Nikanor Ivanovich’s lips were put to Ivan Kuzmich’s nose, yes, take somewhat untied, such as Baltazar Baltazarovich, and, perhaps, to add to this even the stoutness of Ivan Pavlovich - I would then immediately make up my mind. ", Yes.

[Zhenechka]

Zhenechka, but tell me more about porridge. Was she on hold? What cereal? Proportion? Only with milk or with water?

Mann, do you want me to tell you about Herculean - I don't understand anything at all, but there is an assumption about the valve, because it didn't run twice, but today it's just a fountain! I'm not completely sure, but if you press the valve more tightly, it will run. This is just a guess ...
And in terms of composition - as always - a glass of cereal, well, etc.

I'm not completely sure, but if you press the valve more tightly, it will run. This is just a guess ...

And what about the water in the valve? Maybe it's true that something is connected with this? I don't even know what to suggest, what is the reason for such inconsistency 701 ... the girl, probably

I am a learned man, Mann, I regularly wash, clean, dry the valve.
Yes, a capricious girl!

After replacing the cartoon, the score was 2: 2 - I ran away twice, twice - no. Until a draw

Good day! Admit a newbie to your circle? Today I bought a brand 701 multicooker, I made a choice after reading your discussions. I hope I was not mistaken. When I started to get acquainted, the question immediately arose: how to attach the spoon holder, I don’t understand something. Help me please.

how to attach the spoon holder

You don't need it, don't fix it)

The holder clings to the handle. True, I did not fasten it, because it makes no sense to insert the used spoon vertically, the handle of the spoon and the table will be dirty. And clean cooking spoons are kept in the drawer.

[Natalia]

I did not hang the holder on this multicooker. But I used it in other cartoons. When, for example, I do overcooking carrots and onions, it is very convenient. The scapula remains practically dry. Natalia, the holder must be put on the handle with effort.

This is how it is attached.

First cooking experience: steamed pasta and cutlets all together. There was a problem - I wanted to mix the pasta, or rather even just see what was wrong with them, I could not remove the steamer with cutlets. How did you get used to taking out a hot bowl or steamer if necessary?

I take out the hot bowl with silicone tacks. I don't use a steamer.

Just today I took out a double boiler. Once with potholders, and the second time with just hands. Very easy to remove.

Exactly, silicone potholders, I saw such in the store, I will definitely buy, I usually use rag ones, my grandmother was fond of sewing potholders and provided us for a long time. Thanks for the tip.

And I didn't like the silicone potholders.I put it on my hand, the impression is that they will jump off right there. So I use ordinary rags) But many are comfortable in silicone ones. So you try first if they are comfortable for you or not.

Today's porridge escape was not counted - at 10 minutes from the start of the cycle, the lid opened and prevented the escape.

In short, that's enough - I'll manually select the temperature and time.

Manufacturers offer - a step on "Kasha" to start with five minutes.

[Olga]

step on "Kasha" start from five minutes

Olga, and this is for what purposes?

For quick-cooking flakes.

Exactly, silicone potholders, I saw these in the store, I will definitely buy, I usually use rag ones, my grandmother was fond of sewing potholders and provided us for a long time. Thanks for the tip.

I use these, I bought them specially for the bowls of multicooker and pressure cooker at IKEA.
