Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

But my two KENWOOD slow cookers (6.5 and 4.5 liters), worked all night on cooking jellied meat

by the way, who is in Ukraine - now there are big Kenwood MVDs
🔗

[rusja]

rusja , class! Just like a wedding !!! I make 4.5 liters for us for 4 for 4-5 days, enough, I have already planted neighbors ... everyone bought it and now they cook jellied meat not only on holidays

Yes, the fact is that we cook jellied meat with different gelatinous parts (ratsy, tails, ears), and the meat itself is not so much
This is the first time that both slow cookers have passed a combat test, before that 1.5 years I was also only 4.5 liters, and in winter I was looking for my cousin for the anniversary of a big Kenwood for 6.5 liters, but in January they were nowhere to be found (old supplies ran out , and new ones have not been brought in yet), thanks to Rinochka, I found it already in Zaporozhye, then I decided to buy it for myself at the same time.

Hello! May I come to you? Literally this morning I saw the Kenwood 707 slow cooker on sale. By nightfall I reread everything and did not understand whether I need this device or not ... The fact is that I had a Panasonic Cartoon, but after two years of continuous use, its bowl is all scratched. After reading about the harm of the non-stick coating, I dreamed about a multicooker with a ceramic or steel bowl, and now I saw - a ceramic bowl, white, impossibly beautiful ... And compared to a cartoon, it is five times cheaper. But the question that torments me is - will the slow cooker become a full-fledged replacement for multi, the same helper? ..
Who has Kenwood 707, tell me, is it possible to expose cooking with a delay there? Well, for example, put oatmeal, water, raisins and set on the timer so that the porridge is ready for breakfast?

time. But the question that torments me is - will the slow cooker become a full-fledged replacement for multi, the same helper? ..
Who has Kenwood 707, tell me, is it possible to expose cooking with a delay there? Well, for example, put oatmeal, water, raisins and set on the timer so that the porridge is ready for breakfast?

danuca, NEVER. The main difference between a multicooker and a slow cooker is temperatures - in MedlVark it is 80 degrees. Do not bake. And for a long time. It can work perfectly in tandem with a multicooker, but it cannot replace it. You can cook porridge without a delay - put it overnight, turn it off in the morning. But healthy food. In short, buy!

[danuca]

Who has Kenwood 707, tell me, is it possible to expose cooking with a delay there?

danuca , there is no such function, and it is not needed. IRR I wrote to you correctly:

put it at night, turned it off in the morning.

I understood everything about the temperature regime, I really like everything in this wonderful pot, but I don’t understand in any way whether she will be my HELP, or just a saucepan for making some delicacies ...
It’s about the delay in the start of cooking that interests me with regard to porridge, because oatmeal that has been cooked all night, even on a very slow mode, will be too overcooked in my opinion ... And we eat mostly oatmeal ...
With soups and stews, everything is easier - I still cook ONLY in second broths (that is, I put the already cooked a little meat in a saucepan and a slow cooker, so the issues of limescale do not bother me. And vegetable stews, as I understand it, turn out great.
Simple and slow cooker and plus cartoon will not fit in the kitchen :-( If you just buy another small rice cooker ... In general, I will still torment myself on a sleepless night :-) And tomorrow I will buy it :-)
And about the price - I looked at YandexMarket, the price for it is from 3000 rubles. And I saw for 1100 ...Need to quickly take or doubt her Kenwood origin?

the instructions say that there is a snooze timer, but I read it here and doubted - whether there is or not :-)

the instructions say that there is a snooze timer, but I read it here and doubted - whether there is or not :-)

And I doubted that I had a kenwood 707. I went to see the picture on purpose. Are we talking about this? 🔗.



There is NO delay here !!!

[danuca]

Simple and slow cooker and plus cartoon will not fit in the kitchen :-( If only buy another small rice cooker ... In general, I will still have a sleepless night

danuca , if we are talking about ONE device, then this is of course a multicooker. Because as she said Rina, the cartoon is here and now, and the slow cooker is tomorrow. For the sake of porridge alone, you should not take a slow cooker. And it takes up much more space than a cartoon. I can't say anything about the price. 1100 is somehow very cheap!

yes, just that ... It's bad that there is no delay :-(
Eh, I'll buy it anyway :-) I really want to :-)

No, of course, not for the sake of porridge alone (for porridge, you probably still have to buy a small rice cooker, it will come in handy in the summer), I plan to do everything in a slow cooker. Just three months later I go to work after a five-year (!!!) break, the children have grown up :-) and I think with horror how I will cope with everything ... I think it would be convenient to throw everything in the morning and get lunch at lunchtime. lunch all quickly cut and get dinner upon arrival from work. For the night, again, you can put jellied meat, for example ... In general, such plans. Will DVA cope with such help? And "here and now" I have Ceptor pans ...

[danuca]

Will DVA cope with such help?

danuca , will handle it! Good luck with your choice!

in a whisper: but for a slow cooker, in a couple of months, buy a slow cooker, and then a pressure cooker and ...

Ur-r-raa-ah !!! I bought it! She is already standing in the place where my cartoon was (eh ...) and what can I say ... She is beautiful :-) I generally love kitchen appliances ... very much ... But there are no plans for multi. Later - a little rice cooker :-) and that's it ... probably :-) oh, there would be where to put it!
In the evening I'm going to stew lamb with spices in it for the night. Or maybe I'll put it on right now.
Is the pot just enough to wash? Usually it is advised to soak the ceramics in water, then cook milk rice porridge in it ... Or is this not a slow cooker?
Answer quickly :-) otherwise you can't wait to cook something in it !!!

With the purchase, I did not soak the bowl, I washed it and go ahead to cook

[danuca!]

danuca!Congratulations . I did not cook porridge, you confused it with tajin, I read a lot Stew lamb with God

And you know that having the opportunity to protest both Kenwood pans CP 658 (6.5 liters) and CP 706 (4.5 liters) before Paska, I can say with confidence that the big one cooks FASTER than the smaller one. There's just thinner steel in the heating element, as it turned out ...

Girls, I welcome everyone! I really need your advice: my friend has a slow cooker, of course, after watching her, I also fired up with the desire to buy such an assistant, but sitting down to read information on the Internet, I found that Teflon is extremely harmful, interrupting a bunch of sources tried unsuccessfully to find a cartoon with a ceramic bowl, but nothing decent did not find. So, in the process of searching, I came across your forum and the topic of slow cookers, and I was already glad that I found what I needed !!! However, after reading the previous topic and doubting this ... Tell me, if I need an assistant for cooking cereals, crumbly side dishes, pilaf, stewed vegetables and meat, stews and cabbage rolls (about such a list) for 4 people, then a slow cooker suits me? Of course, I would like a snooze timer, but from the reviews I realized that due to the specifics of cooking, it is not relevant here. And if a slow cooker, then which one, I'm staring at Kenwood 707.

[Thanasha]

Thanasha , welcome to the forum!

Tell me, if I need an assistant for cooking cereals, crumbly side dishes, pilaf, stewed vegetables and meat, stews and cabbage rolls (about such a list) for 4 people, is a slow cooker right for me?

Suitable! If the cooking time of the listed dishes is right for you!

And if a slow cooker, then which one, I'm staring at Kenwood 707.

Well, it's up to you to decide which one. The only minus in this model (IMHO), because of the round shape of the pan - the ribs are completely out of the way !! Need to cut! Otherwise I am happy !!

Omela, thanks for the answer. I'm almost on the edge of happiness! Tell me, she's only up to 80 ⁰ heats up, or still brings it to a boil (well, I'm worried to neutralize all kinds of microbes, children are still in the family ...). And the fact that the ribs do not completely fit in is not scary, I do not yet have the opportunity to buy huge pieces of meat for cooking, I am more interested in cooking cereals and vegetables ... do they fall apart?

[Thanasha]

Thanasha, until Mistletoe no, I will answer - it brings it to a boil with a strong mode (there are gurgles, just inactive). Vegetables do not fall apart, they are very tasty, as if stewed. In general, the hobbyhorse of slow cookers is precisely meat and vegetable dishes. More groats oh, I wrote! in short all the dishes. The only thing is that sometimes I don't like potatoes in sauces in MV, but this, I think, depends on the variety.

Thank you girls! Now I'm sure I need a slow cooker, I'll join you! And your forum is wonderful, you can probably find a lot of recipes !!! The task is small, in our city such a miracle cannot be bought for sure, I will search through the Internet.

Tanasha, search online auctions. It is quite possible to find not only Kenwood.

[Ukrainian girls!]

Ukrainian girls! If suddenly somewhere there is a suggestion of a small slow cooker (on 2-3 liters), please beckon me! My gratitude will be limitless (within reasonable limits) !!!
🔗

yes, I monitor the aukra twice a day

Rumor, I just called the Odessa man, from whom we then had little hapanul at a bargain price, he seemed to be going abroad in 2 weeks, he would bring him if he met them.

shl. Remembers me and loves... More shortly, we are waiting in 3 weeks. Remind

girls, are you kidding?
I will also want a slow cooker now ... my husband will definitely kill me!
and it is very expensive to turn out? damn, and again the question "why do I need it", but I want to ...

[KOMU NADA - there is an offer - large MV - in the amount of ODIN - price 250 gr]

and it is very expensive to turn out? damn, and again the question "why do I need it", but I want to ...

Polina, we bought the little ones with Gaby for 150, and then he wanted 350 for them. So sho ... lope he wants chichas here are my 2 ... gee-gee ... (sadomazo me)

KOMU NADA - there is an offer - large MV - in the amount of ODIN - price 250 gr

And how many liters ?!

6,5

big is cheaper than small ??

I don't get to the METRO, there was an action for comfort there in the spring ... my brother has been "repairing" my three-liter for more than a year (whether he will or not - that is the question). And recently I got my hands on an English (Australian publishing house) book on MBA with a couple of hundred recipes, even with desserts and some cakes.
The six-liter Kenwood will work in the harvesting season - it produces jams exclusively.

By the way, now there is such a six-liter ken on the Ukrainian market and it costs about 70-80 shares.

Well, not that much difference between half a liter there - half a liter here.

And to drive a six-liter because of one or two liters of milk or three servings of stew, the toad crushes ... , or such , or such

nooo! from what! 🔗

[IRR,]

Well, it will probably be a bit too big for me ... considering that I still don't know if I need it or not.
besides, there is nowhere to even put such a giant, and at least I can attach a small one in the kitchen, of course with difficulty, but I will try.
IRR, I look at the pictures of your kitchen and every time I salivate ... how you probably have a lot of space there ...

so, we urgently need to go through the section with slow cookers. can understand why I want it.

[Pauline]

Pauline, I love fermented baked milk very much, but it is difficult to call modern baked milk like that.I am heating Yagoty's milk at Moscow House of Arts until it is really creamy in color and caramelly aftertaste, I ferment with IMiM sourdoughs. I get the fermented baked milk that I remember from childhood.

I also had such a thought.

For me, this healthy fool takes one half of the table, and for the IRR two so modestly nestled in the corner.

Rina, and how long do you languish with milk and on what mode? And what kind of leaven do you use?

Is it like you can first make a melt in MdV, then pour the sourdough there and leave it on heating? will fermented baked milk turn out in this way?
Only I love the melted milk, but everyone respects the fermented baked milk.

I'm just looking at the recipes for MVA and wondering why, if all this can be done on EXTINGUISHING in the cartoon ... that is, the mosk gives signals that I do not need it, and my heart intensively clogs these signals.
with the rice cooker it was the same story, but the rice cooker was lucky to take a small and not expensive one, so far I have never regretted buying it. if only I could run into a small and not expensive slow cooker ...

And recently I got my hands on an English (Australian publishing house) book on MBA with a couple of hundred recipes, even with desserts and some cakes.

Can you tell us more about this?

seems to have been a low night. I have to find it, I wrote somewhere in the previous volume on this topic. Any sourdough that works - yogurt, simbilact, etc. Only when heated, it will not work - the temperature there is clearly above 40. Therefore, the easiest way was to turn off MdV, wait until the milk cools down to the desired temperature, shake the sourdough there (preferably mother's) and leave to cool slowly and slowly further - ceramics for a long time keeps just a comfortable temperature.

And milk must be selected so that it is normally heated. And then I used "Yagotinskoe", and then somehow I got to the "Chaika". There were no problems with "Yagotynskiy", and "Seagull" (which is very natural in its taste and appearance when fresh) threw away the whey.

Can you tell us more about this?

You can ... I've already bragged somewhere. I found a tent in the second-hand market with piles of English-language books. Not a penny, but the very quality of the books ...
Recipes from Martha Stewart (and what, that book of the mid-80s? The products have not changed!).
The recipes for CM Kenwood seem to be from 1968.
Slow Cooker Recipes.
Pressure cooker recipes.
Decorating cakes at home.
Quilting from mastic.
A book based on the style of Goka Wang.

Books of very different years of publication. Both the 60s and 2008 ...

I promise again ...
one of these days I will start scanning, translating and uploading.

[Rina]

I also had such a thought.

For me, this healthy fool takes one half of the table, and for the IRR two so modestly nestled in the corner.

are you laughing? firstly, my slow cookers are small. One for 3.5, the other half a dime. I was big and didn't try to want - I like Rina she said - she is a bandura, me and I have a toilet in the toilet drain, like a big mv

And it looks like a big one. Then call.

It is clear that this is not a big kitchen, but a small saucepan.

I got used to putting mine on the loggia, it's good that during the repair I talked my husband into two sockets there.

Hello everyone! So I think to figure out such a scum, but there are questions - are they boiling eggs in it? or omelettes what-thread is made? And in general, how much can she cook at least in time (maximum - I already understood ...)?

The minimum is half an hour. After all, this is a SLOW cooker, "fast" dishes are not prepared in it. Or they are preparing, but very slowly.

Comrades, did anyone measure the temperature at different modes in your slow cookers?
I really really need to know the slow cooker temperature capabilities !!!

I didn’t measure, but I remember someone was saying -140 degrees - I have morphy richards there is one temperature regime, only the time can be changed ...

Why did I ask - I thought if a water bath would replace a slow cooker for me, I couldn't get more than 100 C in a bath.
I still carried out the experiment on fish - in a water bath I got a wonderful canned tomato in 6 hours.

julifera! - and on a water bath - was it fundamentally? I want to cook canned fish in a tomato just in the pottery itself. kazanchik.

julifera! - and on a water bath - was it fundamentally? I just want to cook canned fish in tomato sauce.

So this is the very thing in the ceramic cauldron - what the doctor ordered
Well, I just don't have a slow cooker, but I didn't want to be in a clay pot because of the smell, then I won't get rid of it soon, in a cartoon - I didn't want to because of the smell either.
Therefore, there was only one option - in a water bath in a thick-walled glass vessel.

Made by Elenkin recipe, I just poured it right in with a tomato, so that I mess around less:

Here's a recipe for a slow cooker:

Oh, I'm new. Can you tell me if you can cook vegetarian dishes in the slow cooker or is it mainly for meat? I love cereals, beans, different vegetables - is it suitable for this?

The slow cooker is suitable for all dishes that require a long stewing. Great for legumes, all sorts of stews, fruits, etc.
