Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Girls, I have a white coating on the walls of the ceramic bowl in Kenwood 658. Appeared after cooking. After the bowl was washed and wiped, It appeared ... I thought I hadn't washed it, but this is just some kind of plaque that can be scratched with a fingernail and it crumbles with dust. After the next preparations, the plaque area increased. I even took metal. sponge and rubbed it. Scratched off. Has anyone encountered the same phenomenon? The bowl is black.

For me, exactly the opposite: over the years, the plaque on the white bowl has become darker. Probably from scrubbing with a washcloth with abrasive sponges. Apparently, the enamel wears off over the years. Anyway, I'll finish this slow cooker and buy a new one. And the color of the ceramic container is not important for me personally.

I slow cook the broth for 3-4 hours. Maybe less. It's just that I always put it on when I go to class.
And somewhere it was written that vegetables should be laid down and meat up.
And about the water is nonsense. In my recipes it is generally written to warm up the pan without anything.

This raid does not look like water ... It appeared on the walls along the perimeter / diameter of the bowl. The bottom is normal, black, the walls, those that are above-below the plaque, too. Moreover, the level of products was higher than the plaque showed. Riddle ...

most dishes, however
should adhere to
a few rules.
• Make sure that everything previously
frozen ingredients
the dishes are well defrosted.
• Cut vegetables into small
pieces of the same size,
as they can prepare
longer than meat. Slightly
salt the food in 2-3 minutes
before starting a sparing
cooking. Make sure that
all the roots lie at the bottom
pots, and all components
completely immersed in
liquid.
• Before cooking, cut
all excess fat from meat,
because with sparing
heat treated fat is not

for at least 10 minutes for
elimination of toxins.
• In order to make sure that
roast, meat or chicken

temperature, insert inside
dishes thermometer for meat.

Tips for
using
sparing
heat treatment
• To achieve the best
result should be filled
a saucepan for at least
half.
• The lid does not close
hermetically sealed. Do not take it off if
That is unnecessary,
as this leads to
heat loss. Everytime,
when the cover is removed, time
cooking lengthens by 10
minutes.
• When making soups,
leave at least 5 cm between
the surface of the soup and the edge
boiling pans.

Transfer the dishes to
a ceramic pot and
add boiling liquid or
gravy.
• Most vegetables and meat

meat and poultry. First you need them
defrost.
• Some components are not
suitable for cooking
sparing method
heat treatment. Pasta
products, seafood, milk and
cream should be added to
end of the cooking process.
At the time of cooking
many factors affect
for example the amount of water and
fat, initial temperature and
the sizes of the pieces.
• Food cut into small
the pieces are prepared faster, and for
full potential
your electric pan
it is necessary to act by method
"Trial and error".
• Cooking vegetables as
rule takes more
time than cooking
meat, so try
arrange vegetables at the bottom
parts of the pan.
• All food should be covered
liquid, gravy or
sauce. Recommended separately
make a gravy or sauce, and
then add it to the pot,
so that she completely
covered food.
• To save juice,
pre-fry the meat and
onion. It also allows
separate the fat before adding
into the pot. it
optional if you have
little time, but allows

Oh!!! I read something ... and got lost in my desires
I thought I wanted this slow cooker ... the prices for them are reasonable and look great ... but I read the terms of use and reviews on another site and I don't know now if I need such a device? does food really taste like it should be cooked for 12 hours? (you can forget that I started cooking there half a day ago) Or maybe the second little cartoon is better ??? How to be? that is the question....
Something Stiletto does not write as to her dishes from a new purchase

[• Most vegetable and meatdishes are cooked for 4-6 hours.]

• Most vegetable and meat

The hairpin has not given it yet

and I'm thinking now
6.5 liters

it turns out to me 6.5 liters, which is .. 3.5 small

Girls, it just seems like a long time to cook. But with the right time management, it turns out that the slow cooker saves our time.
I was expecting guests this morning, and thanks to the slow cooker, I didn't get up early to cook. I laid everything down at 10 pm yesterday. I put it on 8 o'clock, and in the morning I woke up, everything is ready.
She cooked a vegetable dish, but the vegetables did not lose their shape and did not turn into porridge.
Everyone said that it was very tasty, there was only 1 portion left in the refrigerator, even if I take a picture, I'll post it later.

and that and others are good, just weigh what is more important, what you eat more often, or if you already have a small cartoon, buy a large slow cooker, or vice versa. In a slow cooker, plus in a saucepan, it does not scratch like Teflon or others.coating that in an oval it is more convenient to cook whole fish, poultry or a kid's leg

On one site in the description of Kenwood SR-707 there is such an item, in addition to extinguishing languor, etc., how is BAKING possible?

The hairpin has not given it yet

Absolutely right. But my husband was caught late at night by the box with a centimeter. He made a complaint that he wanted to measure the size of the pan in order to calculate the size of the duck. The centimeter was taken away, the husband was driven into bed. And then look what you are!

But with the right time management, it turns out that the slow cooker saves our time.

For some reason, with the box closed, I'm sure of this ...

So that? is the slow cooker better than the second cartoon?

I do not think so. I will have a slow cooker for cereals / pilaf / baking (puddings / honey cakes), and a slow cooker for meat.

On one site in the description of Kenwood SR-707 there is such an item, in addition to extinguishing languor, etc., how is BAKING possible?

Baking and baking are different. You can bake bread in a multicooker, but why? There is a bread maker, there is an oven ... in the end there is an airfryer. But I like puddings and honey cakes from a multicooker!

I will wait for more reviews

And it is right!

I'm lying around laughing - a husband with a centimeter.

Marinal slow cooker is better than the second cartoon. I have a cartoon, but I cook meat in a slow cooker and a lot in large pieces, you can't stick them in a cartoon.
The question is, is it convenient for everyone? In the conditions of the city, it is not always possible to buy meat in large pieces.
My chicken should not be cooked entirely in a slow cooker, those that are sold in cities, broilers do not need long-term processing, they will be better grilled.

You won't be able to bake in it, I think that the desserts will make pudding, soufflé and cheesecake.
But this has to be tried.
I have pudding on schedule.
Once I was treated to it by a friend from Angola, a black student from the institute. It was such a miracle !!!
12 years have passed, I still remember this beauty.
But she never took the recipe from her, so I found a recipe on the internet, I will try. I think I'll have to try several times to test the recipe.
And today I have another leg of the Goat, well, so that I can do it without a slow cooker.

I have pudding on my plans

What do you mean by pudding? There are a bunch of curd puddings in multicooker recipes ... I just made them in a multicooker.

How can I explain to you, I ate orange pudding, which was cooked in a cake pan with a hole, it was served with sauce, this dish was very effective and a complete replacement for a birthday cake, for example.

here is a photo that I found on the internet, it is milk, and orange it is bright orange.

Girls I cooked 2 dishes today.
The first is the next leg of a kid.
My husband and I tried - and ... we were numb.
With honey . So delicious.
Meat, potatoes and honey sauce. Awesome-really restaurant food turned out.

And the first dessert in this pot is PUDDING, real, in shape.
Cooked, hardened, but take out only tomorrow. It has a structure like a cheese. Remove only after cooling.

I also need to get it out of the form safely, then I'll take a picture.

I'll put my leg out too, along with the pudding.

And the first dessert in this pot is PUDDING, real, in shape.
very interesting to see

[Natamailav]

And comparing pudding by one recipe in a slow cooker and a slow cooker? !!! Personally, I put on a slow cooker !!!

Natamailav! Only, mind you, upload bad pictures too! And then if we post only the successful ones, where can we gain objectivity? !!!

I looked in 3.5 liters, thought at least a chicken in it .. no, our chickens won't fit there, if you shove it in, then the garnish will definitely not fit better than 6 liters.

and that 707 is small ??? I was sure that it turns out to be big, only 658 remains, but she doesn't have a timer or anything, or maybe she doesn't need it?

nata_v
I have a Kenwood 658 6.5 liters without a timer.
on the picture

Rina72
I wish you success.

Girls, you see that besides the pan you need a lot of meat, it is most suitable for him. And with that for large pieces.

I have never cooked a chicken yet, and in cities it is chicken that is the most affordable meat. And in the cities it is a broiler, but he does not need to prepare for a long time.

I have that meat in the yard walks, it's easier for me.

While I am mastering it, you have the opportunity to think about the need for such a purchase.
It takes up more space than a cartoon. But I have a very comfortable corner on the table where she found this place. And I don't have to get it every time. And therefore she is always at hand.
marinal I calmly do without a timer, from this pan "milk will never run away"
My friend bought in Zaporozhye in the Metro for 270 grams per 3.5 liters. , yesterday came to consult, but so far I don’t know what her impressions are.

ABOUT! LenaV07, this is ours

and where they dug up the white one, I only get the black ones from this company

very bad .. I found 3.5 liters of white, but the big ones only black

But I'm thinking about buying a new slow cooker, namely 3.5 liters.

here is their website 🔗 , but didn’t find a slow-rook on the site. ... and so what is not, you can download instructions.

Girls don't seduce me !!! I’m thinking, if you buy a large ceramic pan and put it in my electric oven, will it replace the slow cooker? What do you think about that?

I think it will replace, I have already thought about it ... and I have both a delayed start and an auto shutdown function in the oven, but there is one BUT ... I am tormented by vague doubts ... in short, it seems to me that in 4-8 hours of languishing my dear the oven will eat el. many times more energy

Girls don't seduce me !!! I’m thinking, if you buy a large ceramic pan and put it in my electric oven, will it replace the slow cooker? What do you think about that?

In terms of usefulness, the slow cooker will win over the oven ... like Chaliapin over Kirkorov. In addition, you can leave the slow cooker on the table and go to bed, but will you leave the oven like that? Me not. But my oven isn't as fancy as Marinal's either. Although with convection and grill.

I'm just wondering if there is a ceramic saucepan in a slow cooker, maybe the principle is similar to cooking in pots that is cooked in the oven.
Marina, I also have an oven with a timer and with other modes, but you can of course calculate the energy consumption at a minimum temperature, for some reason it seems to me that it should coincide, but these are my thoughts out loud. I think that, of course, you can take a slow cooker with you wherever you go, even to the dacha, even on a trip, you cannot take the oven with you.

I was lost in two pillars
tell me what to do ??
1.slow cooker whose coordinates were given by LenaV07. An Israeli young lady who sells it says that an adapter is needed for it.

You can do without an adapter. Just change the plug, I already wrote about this.

Girls don't seduce me !!! I’m thinking, if you buy a large ceramic pan and put it in my electric oven, will it replace the slow cooker? What do you think about that?

Maybe it will replace, but this option is less convenient and I don't think it will be cheaper. A good ceramic container sometimes costs a lot more than a simple slow cooker

Me + slow cookers, that I generally forget about the fact that something is being prepared.
I was in the market for half a day, and I didn't think.

But can you leave the oven all night?

And wash?
Regarding the e-va, I received a payment order-55 gr
I have everything on the electrician-Bread every day (dogs and cats want to eat too).

4 rooms.

I was just thinking, can a ceramic bowl from a slow cooker be used as a brazier? Will it burst in the oven? Share your thoughts on this, please ...

Natasha, I don't cook much in a slow cooker.My kitchen is in a pre-renovation state and the saucepan is in a box in the room and it is too lazy to put it back and forth. Moreover, there is a multicooker, but it is "registered" in the kitchen
She heated milk, cooked the Armenian dish "summer cabbage rolls", ajapsandal, and recently there was no dinner and the strength to cook it, chopped 2 chickens into pieces, and put all the vegetables that were in the house. It turned out quite tasty and very dietary. I don't add water at all, everything is prepared in its own juice. The last time it turned out 2 in 1, and the first and second at the same time.

from the slow-running instruction

microwave or on

Hairpin, and buttons "+" and "-" is the time adjustment ??
if yes, then maybe the slow cooker automatically adjusts the temperature more or less depending on how much time you give it to cook ???

[Gypsies]

So about the MP 48730.

Here's my saucepan:



And here is the bowl



And here are the insides:



Display itself:



And here is our duck in our bowl:



It turned out that I don't have three modes! Only one!!! That was an ambush ... Guess which one I have, high, middle or low ... I was going to put on 12 o'clock on a low, and then I put on 12 o'clock, but it turns out that this is High mode ... In short, I put it on 4 o'clock, and then (remembering the treatises Gypsies on the Heating mode) he should have been on the Heating for 8 hours ...

In half an hour I ran away and looked ... The bowl was ooooooochen hot. In short, everything was red-hot except for the handles, legs and lid. Red-hot means you can't put your palm down.

But what kind of regime I have, I still do not understand. Girls, 6.5 liters - 300 watts, is this high, middle or low? Otherwise I can't find my bearings ...

I ran to the English site. But I did not find a slow cooker with a display at all. Available with regulators only:

🔗

You can download the manual for mine, but it is not in the catalog. And there is not a single slow cooker with a display. From which I concluded that they were taken out of production, and the rest of the batch was sold to Russia for a cheap price.

I ran to the Russian site of the MR:

🔗

There are only two slow cookers: mine and one for 3.5 liters with a regulator for 1600, as in Technosila. I thought for a long time how Natamailav got a big one with a regulator, and then hit herself on the forehead that Russia and Ukraine are no longer the same.

I began to think what my regime was. In my 2.5 liter multicooker, the heating power is 100 watts. This means that 6.5 liters would be 260 watts. And in a slow cooker according to the nameplate - 303 - 330 watts. That is, it looks like Low mode (which I need), but ... after 30-40 minutes of turning on the slow cooker, it was already kind of boiling ... So that 330 watts in 30-40 minutes brought three or four kilograms to a boil ... What -that's hard to believe ...

Regarding the version that my model has a regulator for smooth heating temperature change. The cost of an analog temperature sensor is at least $ 50. That's almost the cost of my slow cooker. So there is nothing more relay there, I think there is nothing.

Hairpin, can you set the temperature and time?

I can only set the time. My four buttons are:
1. Just inclusion. Not starting, but supplying power to the slow cooker. Then the display turns on. And you can talk to her;
2 and 3. + / - add / subtract time.
4. Launch. If, after pressing the first button, immediately start the fourth, then it will begin to slowly brew according to the default conditions. That is six hours.
And a light bulb. If the light is red, the slow cooker is not working. If it is green, it is already slowly brewing.

All. I can’t do anything else.

In my instructions, it's not just the temperature, the power is not indicated there (I only found it on the nameplate).
But I don't really see any problems. Our verdict on our slow cooker is that it is indispensable for large things like the same duck.Putting it out on the festive table even in this ceramic bowl will always be in place. In principle, you can make a duck in the oven, but you can't go to sleep, but you can use a slow cooker. Also useful in any case. And it's easier to wash than a baking sheet. But it makes no sense to cook small portions in it.
The choice of slow cookers I had here was not great. Kenwood with electronics and a timer ... Well I ordered it first, but I can't put a duck in there. Kenwood with a regulator - then you can't set the time and go to bed. MR with a regulator we have only 3.5 liters. So in any case, I would have stopped at my own. And if you take into account the price of ... two and a half ducks ...
So I'm happy with the purchase. And troubles with modes can be solved. I really hope that Israeli women of forum will write power in three modes at 6.5 liters. Or at least a few liters, and I'll count it. Maybe it's written in their bourgeois instructions.

Well, if you can't follow it, the Hairpin makes a fool of the people, then the possibilities of her husband, then the slow cookers

And I, as an ordinary user, did not understand if I put a duck in my sleeve, in the oven, where the temperature is set from 50, where to start? And how long?

I will consult you !!!

If we are going to make slow cookers out of your ovens, then, as a first approximation, set the temperature to 80. And at 5-6 hours. Regularly looking there, Schaub did not burn out. I think that after one experiment with 5-6 hours of oven operation, you will not think there.

But I don’t understand why in the sleeve? Not to smell? Not to mention your wok, there are tons of beautiful ceramic pots. Well, just imagine. You throw it all in a ceramic pot, and then it is on the table ...

You throw it all in a ceramic pot, and then it is on the table ...

This is not to scoop the duck on the pots and make sure that I don't need anything else, except for an electric oven with bells and whistles, here

Hairpin, I'm looking for your power .. along the way I read this, in a slow cooker for 6.5 liters, a working volume of 4.5 liters, in a slow cooker for 3.5 liters, a working volume of 2.5 liters. Here. Maybe someone needs to think about what volume is needed.

and in another 6.5 liters, you need to cool 3 cm to the lid, and in 3.5 liters 2 cm.

This is not to scoop the duck on the pots and make sure that I don't need anything else, except for an electric oven with bells and whistles, here

So I'm not talking about pots, but about a pot !!! When I was running around for pots for the airfryer, I bought myself a pot ... half a meter with handles for 400 rubles at the Koptevsky market. Just under the oven. Do you want to post a photo? And my slow cooker will have a smaller work surface ...

I really hope that Israeli women of forum will write power in three modes at 6.5 liters. Or at least a few liters, and I'll count it. Maybe it's written in their bourgeois instructions.

we sell only for 8 liters. power 380 W
that's all we found

[Gypsy]

Gypsy! And what is the mode? !!! High, middle or low? Well this is almost mine !!!

It is already easier that I have a capacity almost like in other countries !!!
