Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

My Chinese girl's lid broke a long time ago, I use a glass one, but I didn't notice any tangible difference.

Pour hot or cold liquid into K-205 for porridge? I poured cold into Chinese ones - they boil so quickly.

[Jackdaw-Crow]

Jackdaw-Crow, this particular cover of mine has one hole. It is even clearly visible. Here, the electronic 2-liter Tonze (with which I did not "love" and which I sold) had 3 holes, they are larger in diameter and had plastic plugs.

Pour hot or cold liquid into K-205 for porridge?

I always pour a cold one. But if you need to speed up the process, I think you can pour a hot one.))

I did not understand the meaning of the ceramic cover, which most likely violated the heat transfer.

slows work on the principle of an iron = on / off at a given t, there is no "mind" in it, even if there is a timer - put at least some lid, even if you cook without a lid at all - on / off will work, not a sensor program.

And you can also put food in a slow one any t - the difference is only in time reaching a given t.

One thing must be remembered - the bowl does not tolerate a big difference t - cold in a hot bowl or hot in a cold bowl, it can crack up to split.

[Irish]

ABOUT! Irish, tell me on your fingers, do I understand correctly "why do I need a slow slow" if I have an Element?
In it I WANT CHO, THEN I CREATE. The temperature is set, the time is too!
Or am I misunderstanding something, huh?
Just in case: I never wanted a slow one

"why do I need a nafi slow" if I have an Element?

yeah. exactly. multivarishnas are more universal - they stop in one.

Slow for lovers of not fried)) and leisurely people - who does not care how long the main meal takes to cook
Well, it is sometimes cheaper to buy the same volume in a slow cooker than in a multicooker. And - for today - there is a large spread in volumes, and THERE IS A BABY, unlike multicooker - for today.

Buy the little Kitforth, join the oven food lovers.

Ilmirchik, if for me, the Element is slow-brewing no worse than my current slow-cookers. True, I didn't cook very much: meatballs, soup and compote. But the compote is incredibly tasty, yes. The taste of berries and fruits is literally revealed. Very tasty! But I didn't cook it in Element. Maybe the Element will do the same.

[Rituslya]

THERE IS A BABY, unlike multicooker - just today.

I have a REDBER pressure cooker for 2 liters, and so she cooks SUCH porridge for breakfast for me in 15 minutes! Even Shtebka loses in this case!
Rituslya, but about canpot ... what's the question, you have to cook!

Next time I'll try to cook under glass, for the purity of the experiment.

Lyudmila, it would also be good (if, of course, there is a desire for an experiment), then the total volume of cereal and liquid should be from 1/3 to 2/3 of the volume of the bowl, that is, from 0.5l to 1l. (1100 ml +150 ml could have been a bit too much?)

[Ilmira]

I have a REDBER pressure cooker for 2 liters, and so she cooks SUCH porridge for breakfast for me in 15 minutes!

Ilmira, that's what I'm talking about - a slow cooker with the current variety of ALL multicooker, and especially if someone previously bought it with multi-volume and multi-speed MultiVarish, then the slow cooker is already an accessory
But! if someone does not have a multicooker, or one or two for everything about everything, for rural residents where electricity is not stable, then a slow cooker is more profitable - the program will not fail, system on / off more reliable in workthan multisensory programs in MultiVarishny.

for rural residents, where electricity is not stable, then a slow cooker is more profitable - the program will not fail, the on / off system is more reliable in operation than multi-sensor programs in MultiVarishny.

That's right! The power of the slow ones is very small, even for old, unreliable wiring, it will not create a critical load.

The power of the slow ones is very small, even for old, unreliable wiring, it will not create a critical load.

And there is no silicone gasket on the lid that absorbs odors and almost no steam escapes and does not spoil kitchen cabinets.

Girls, with a large oval ceramic bowl, who is this? I can’t shove a duck ... And then I bought a duck, and I’m too lazy in the oven.
Help with the model.

And then I bought a duck

🔗 your duck should crawl into 3.5 liters

or 4.5 l 🔗 = this is more correct

[Irina]

Irina, 3.5 is. Excluded. If only trample)))
Yeah, thanks, Ira

I trampled a duck down to Russell Hobs. True, I don't remember the weight. There is a photo somewhere



Look at page 99. 2kg duck

on page 99

nope, nooo.
I have a round slow motion. In it only in pieces. And I already stuffed cabbage into the duck. For a day he will stand at the wither, then the daughter-in-law will bring an oval one if she buys))). But no, so I'll chop it into pieces

Here https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...=com_smf&topic=24172.1960... But yes, I’m not round

Well, here I got Kitfort 2010 and for only 200 rubles.

[Tusya1]

Tusya1, congratulations! What a ridiculous price? Points for something?

Girls, good afternoon. I'm new to this topic, but there is a need to buy a slow cooker, I come across a 3.5-liter silver Crest SSc200A1 model and a 3.5-liter sea breeze can anyone have one, share your impressions. Thank you in advance

silver crest 3.5 liters

in terms of characteristics and appearance, a standard slow

🔗

whatever you call it - the essence is the same, German quality))

[Irsha]

Irsha, Ira, thanks, but for some reason I can't find the temperature regime: pardon: or maybe it is the same for everyone? And along the way, the question arose, does it turn itself off? Doesn't it have a timer?

Doesn't it have a timer?

there is no timer, yes, the control is the simplest - like all mechanical slows - on / off and 3 modes high, low, heating, you can see in the photo - like a kitfort, a kenwood and similar slows.

Irina, thank you very much, I'm in this: wall: now it's clear (in the cartoon there is, so I thought that it should be here too)

in the cartoon there is, so I thought that there should also be

there are slowers with a timer
girls now buy timer-sockets for timeless "long-playing" devices
but for me a timer for slow-moving - well, so ... there is - okay, no - and it is not necessary, this is more convenient for housewives who have been at home with a timer, of course

[Tusya1]

Tusya1, congratulations! What a ridiculous price? Points for something?

The CSN had a discount for them - the price was 1100. There were their points + 200 paid extra.

Both at the bottom and on the far wall

Lyudmila, I watched a FAST KITCHEN video on YouTube about milk porridge with rice (or millet) and pumpkin in KT2010 and decided to cook half a portion in KT205.
I took rice (without pumpkin), poured it with directed milk, added sugar, salt and put it on the LOU for 4 hours, never stirring.
Bottom line: the porridge on the bottom and in one place on the far wall was boiled, the rice stuck together into one lump and partially remained tough.
Conclusion: if you cook rice on Low, then the rice must first be soaked and then rinsed very well. The bowl needs to be greased with butter, as we do with a multicooker.
But I would rather do it according to my proportions on High, mixing well n times.
Maybe it is also better to cook pgeno on Hai and then hold it on the HEATER?

I'd rather do it according to my proportions on High, mixing well again.

Oksana, what are the proportions for Kitenko?
In a small slow "under Gzhel", I also cook at first an hour and a half for Hai, then switch to Low and another hour and a half or two, and mix it once, for millet and rice, the proportion of cereal-liquid is one to seven or even eight, I am satisfied with the result, but presence-participation is required.
And if you want to - turn it on and do nothing else!))

But if you want to - turn it on and do nothing else!

with cereals only by the poke method, since cereals are different not only in "origin", but also in variety.
For rice, there are highly developed rice cookers with a bunch of programs for each type of rice))
The slow cooker, in fact, cooks loose porridge with difficulty - only with the participation of a person - but liquid and viscous porridge - with a bang! poured-poured-mixed-left-come-eat.

[Irsha]

Irsha, Irin, I use the slow lye only for milk porridge, I have never cooked crumbly and I will not.)) And milk - it's still better if there is an opportunity to mix it once in the middle of the process.
When I cook corn porridge from very fine cereals, which is almost like semolina, I stir it more often, 3-4 times. If not stirred, it will cook in a lump.

b] LudMila [/ b],
Lyudmila, I haven't cooked in a little one yet
At Kitforth 2010 I cook 1: 6
160 off round washed rice
1 liter of milk
Butter and sugar to taste
I cook on Max for 3 hours, stirring well once after 2.5 hours
I put sugar and butter in plates

In little whale I am
Grease the bottom and sides of the bowl with butter
100 ml of round rice would be well washed. Would add
600 ml milk
And the first time I would have glanced at about 2 hours later. As soon as the rice (still quite hard) starts to boil, then you need to stir very well so that all the rice will stick away from each other and from the bottom and walls, if this happens.
And after half an hour after that, the rice usually becomes soft and cooked.




I also cooked milk rice porridge, almost a soufflé in Russell 3.5 liters for 6 hours 45 minutes on Low, in a ratio of 1: 8
I smeared the bowl with butter, soaked the rice in water for 12 hours and rinsed it well so as not to stick together.
I have a piece of foil between the wall of the base and the bowl in this place in one place to the wall of the attachment.
150 ml round rice
200 ml of water
1 liter of milk

But without stirring, put it overnight, on the timer.

it is still better if there is an opportunity to mix it once in the middle of the process.

And rightly so, in any saucepan, except for a pressure cooker, during the cooking process, you can look in and correct the contents. But I wrote my post in response to a desire

But if you want to - turn it on and do nothing else!

or 4.5 l = this is more correct

barely shoved the duck. Getting ready.
Very handy slow. There is even a delay, which I used. Pasib, Ira

It's a shame that there are no 1.5L and 2.5L electronically controlled

Well ... I mastered the floor of the topic. I still did not understand which slow cooker is better. For a family of 2 adults and 2 children.

[litichka80]

litichka80, well, this is your family, who knows better than you its nutritional needs. In pots of what volume you usually cook - take such a slow one.
And better - big, medium and baby.

[litichka80]

I still did not understand which slow cooker is better. For a family of 2 adults and 2 children.

litichka80, we have 2 adults and 3 children. I have 3.5 liters slow. I have enough. But we often don't eat stewed. There are favorites - roast potatoes with meat, minced meat for spag ball and lasagne after frying there for languishing, I cook gamon (ham). A whole chicken up to 1.5 kg can be easily accommodated - sometimes I cook.

You look out of your food preferences what you like.

Girls thank you for responding quickly) by liters, I realized that we need 3.5 -4. I can't choose the brand myself.



Here I read in the subject that it would be nice to have a timer. Why is he? Does the saucepan not go into preheating mode after cooking?

A whole chicken up to 1.5 kg can be easily accommodated - sometimes I cook.

Isn't there a goose? Is yours round? Which firm?



Also, the better is electronic control?

I can't choose the brand myself

for all desires. bye Kitfort pleases 🔗

timer

not critical, and without it it's normal. It does not automatically go into heating mode.

the better is electronic control?

Only if by the fact that there is a timer and even a delay. Well, a slower one with such amenities is also more expensive.

I mastered the floor of the topic.

read from the end, about the last 100 pages - about those slow ones that you can really buy now without any problems. As far as I understood from your technique, you live in Russia.

Thank you for such a detailed answer!
I got another Morphy Richards 48710, I also thought about this. But again, I don't see the difference.Who has one like you?
Kitfort 205 in the night ordered a small one) let it be 2)) How much technology did I acquire thanks to the forum))



but kitfort 2021 with suvid have any reviews? the beast is new to me.



and is it not harmful to cook in bags?

Kitfort 205 in the night small ordered

perfectly.

kitfort 2021 with suvid have any reviews?

there is a topic about cooking technology sous-vid

and is it not harmful to cook in bags?

in food plastic - not harmful.

Compared between kitfort 212
morphy richard 48710
well kitfort 2010
Which one is better?

there is a topic about sous vide cooking technology

Oh thanks! I must try and have a staff))

[LudMila]

LudMila,
Lyudmila, I cooked millet in KT205, in my opinion it tasted very well, fluffy, I ate some of it with milk, and I eat what is left now with chicken sauce.
Reported in the topic BOOK of recipes for a slow cooker

Girls, tell me a bowl of a coated kitfort? Or is it straight ceramic like Kenwood?

[litichka80]

litichka80, straight ceramic. Shiny dark gravel. Kenwood's 6.5L is almost the same. But the 4.5-liter has a white bowl. So ceramics are also different.

And for tomorrow I ordered a 2.5-liter round Kit. I often cook all kinds of stew in small portions on Slowing, but I really don't like spreading it on a 5-liter multicooker bowl.
I liked the Electronic Kit. Directly for the gifted who are always sleeping. Although a more or less adequate acquaintance with the slow ones began, otherwise I had an eternal flight: I would charge, set the mode, and then reel. I wake up, and there is already ah and oh.
I tried Gzhelka Chinese with Ali, but I’m not slow, but fast. So foul that only an eye and an eye are needed.

But the 4.5-liter has a white bowl. So ceramics are also different.

So I liked him. But, as I understood, it is out of production. I wonder if it's true and you can bake?
In general, the saucepan itself can be emailed. the stove is interesting to put? And in the oven?
