Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Thank you so much! How many in total!

[brendabaker]

Girls, in KT-206 nobody cooked oatmeal, not cereals, but whole cereals? In whale 2010, I have excellent porridge for 8 hours per minute, this one is unlikely to have enough time



And thanks to all the girls and especially Oksana brendabaker, thanks to your detailed stories, it became clear that 205 would not work for me, but 206 is just that. It remains to adapt to it!

I also bought Keith 206, but now I think it's a bit big. I honestly thought that there would be less.
I cooked meat in sauce and kharcho. But I do it as standard, when I bring everything to half-readiness in different units, and then I connect and languish in Kita. Delicious! I was so carried away that I forgot about the Element with its longing.
Now I'm staring at the small 205 Keith. I will hardly undertake to cook porridge, but for gravy meat it will be very useful.

Being the owner of a dozen slow cookers is probably prestigious, but you want a little versatility, for example, you can always put a smaller one in a large one. On YouTube, I met that the bowl was taken out, they put pots with lids and voila. The truth is only in words, without showing.
Someone has such experience, otherwise I sometimes want to cook in one, and Kit 2010 is too big even for my womb.

[Rituslya]

Rituslya,
Ritul, I'm also staring at 206, because the price at Kitforth allows you to have 205 and 206.
205 is still for one person in terms of volume, I think so.
Yesterday I cut 3 small shop little zucchini into mugs and semicircles, mixed with tomato paste, salt, sugar, oregano, greased the bottom and sides of the bowl with butter, pushed the zucchini into the bowl and left it on Low for the night. They were preparing for 5-5.5 hours. In the morning, I added the sauce, added some salt, pepper, added some more oregano, mixed everything ... and imperceptibly ate it with Borodino bread. It turned out to be one good portion.

On YouTube, I met that they take out the bowl, put the pots with lids and voila.

I put the pots in a bowl filled with water up to half the height of the pot, I just never put them in the base.
It gets boring quickly, because in the morning you need to wash both the bowl of plaque and the pot of food.

Kit 2010 is a bit big even for my womb.

+1

Thanks Oksana
With a water bath, I myself understand. And if you put your smaller bowl in a bowl and without water between them, the main temperature will provide the volume, the bowl is not afraid of overheating, but you can cook in one ... or just a bath?

And just put a small portion in 2010, without additional pots?

[Rialis]

Rialis,
It's just that in the base there will be a much greater distance from the walls of the base to the walls of the pot, and it is not clear what the heating will be from this. And the bottom of the bowl at the slow-motion bottle does not touch the bottom of the base, but here it will stand right on the bottom.
I noticed that the cups, bowls and pots, that they steamed for many hours in a water bath, somehow quickly fell into disuse.: Either the handle would fall off, or the bottom would crack. And if the pot bursts in the base, I'm afraid that some kind of short circuit might happen. Somehow, this idea has already outlived itself for me, especially since slow drinks appeared on sale, although I used to put two cups from Ikea in 3.5 liters and even cooked semolina in a free-air bath, without fish, so to speak



Now I put in 205 dairy rice to cook 500 ml of milk AND 100 ml of rice. Nice portion, I'll see how much I have to cook.

I calmed down, I think that the best option is to stretch your intestines to Keith of yours and everything will be ok

The second day, that is, actually the second night, I cook porridge in kt-206. Yesterday was barley, 5 hours per minute. Today pearl barley, 8 hours per minute. I especially liked the pearl barley, soft, soft. Both are on water, then I add oil to the plates.I made cereals for a glass, it turned out 2/3 or a little more than a pot, just like according to the instructions for filling. Nothing stuck anywhere and did not stick to the walls (did not lubricate with anything). In both cases, the surface darkened slightly and dried out, a thin layer was removed from the yachka, the pearl barley was mixed, no one noticed anything. Next in line is still whole oatmeal. The impressions are still very positive.
And about the large KT-210, the second time, I already burned my hand. Accidentally touched the edge of the metal on top, a bubble. And this is only after half an hour of work for a minute. At the same time, I have been using CT-2010 for a year now, I know that they are warming up, but I have never burned myself, and here in a month - the second time. Either this one heats up more (which is unlikely), or just large, it is easier to catch on.

Kit 210 has a power of 320 W, this is not 200, it heats much more.

The power is more, but only half an hour per minute, somehow it glowed very quickly

And in my 205 I cooked such a downy buckwheat in 2 hours 40 minutes on Hai. 200 ml of buckwheat + 500 ml of water, after 2 hours on top, without stirring, put 2 tsp. butter and poured 3 tsp. soy sauce, For the next 40-45 minutes on Hai so the porridge was well saturated with both taste and aroma.

And I finally have oatmeal today at 206. 1 glass of cereal, 5 glasses of water, 8 hours for a minute + an hour off. Everything boiled down perfectly, nothing stuck to the walls at all. Beauty ... Received an order to repeat from a junior :)

And I finally have oatmeal today at 206.1 glass of cereal, 5 glasses of water, 8 hours for a minute + an hour off

Do you need to soak before cooking, or not? I saw in the store a kpupu called OVSYANKA, manufacturer * Russkoe Pole *
Wonder how to cook it ... looks like grains but not as coarse as oats

I used to soak, recently stopped. I did not feel the difference.

Girls, good afternoon. For several months now, I have had the desire to buy a slow cooker. It seems that I already bought a new multicooker with the ability to adjust the temperature from 30 to 180 degrees, but I still want a slow cooker.
And at the same time I do not want to spend too much. I would like to buy a device to play with, so to speak. And if it doesn't fit, don't worry so much that it's a pity for money.
Girls, can you please tell me what capacity is enough for a 3.5 liter slow cooker?

[Miela]

Miela,
I have two oval slow cookers with a volume of 3.5 liters: the rare Russell Hobbs 19799-56 and the modern Kitfort 2010.The power of both is 200 W, but they cook in different ways, due to the difference in temperature conditions.
I measured both of them and brought the results into the topic in Tatiana (Admin)
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=158313.0

[Oksana]

Oksana, Thanks for the answer. Do I know what else I would like to understand how much more power is needed?
The same kitfort has 200 and 280 power.

[Miela]

Miela, Whales with the same volume, the power is the same. The volume is larger and the power is more, less and the power is less., Therefore, if there is a recipe for time, then choosing dishes by the volume of preparation, we do not change the time, which is 1.5 liter, which is 3.5, etc.

[Alexei]

Alexei, Thank you! Now it dawned on me).
That's funny after all. You choose a multicooker and think about how to approach it. And then you are surprised to yourself that you had to be so stupid, well, everything is simpler).
I feel the same with a slow cooker).



Nobody bought kitfort kt-213?



I ordered two slow cookers. Kitfort kt-213 and kitfort kt-212. I just can't decide what volume I need. They will bring them to the store and choose there.



OlgaGera, good evening. Did you buy 213? How do you like it? If it's not difficult, can you measure the cup?

Girls and boys,
I took my slow cooker from the store today). I chose kitfort kt-213.
For a long time I turned the bowls 212 and 213. And I decided to take more. We do not eat porridge, but we respect stews, broths, etc.
For those who, as I doubt which one to choose, I am attaching a photo of two bowls.
Thanks to all! If it were not for this topic and this forum, then I would have fluttered.

I took my slow cooker from the store today). I chose kitfort kt-213.

With a wonderful purchase! Let it serve for a long time and please its mistress!

How do you like it?

oops .. how the question flew by me
Yes, I bought it. I am very satisfied. The duck fit. Yes, and she is nimble.
I will not measure the cup any more.
Congratulations on a successful purchase. Let it serve and bring pleasure

[gawala]

gawala, Thank you very much). While there is some water in it for three hours at high. As the instructions recommend. I've wanted a slow cooker for so long).Satisfied until it is impossible))). The beef is already ready). I will stew the meat))).




OlgaGera, please tell us how you cooked? Your review about the duck has convinced me completely). We have feasts with relatives. I would not like to "hammer" a duck into a little slow. And cook the broth and cook stuffed peppers. Small size is not our option. We do not seem to suffer from megalomania).



About the delay start and timer. Someone does not need these pribluda. My daughter is disabled. She is now after surgery. I have to jump next to her. Therefore, the timer is very convenient for me. I use it both on the multicooker and on the cooktop (induction. It has a timer for each burner).



I forgot about the timers on the oven panel and air fryer). To knead kitchen aid artisan, I use the timer on the cooktop (induction). It's comfortable. IMHO

Please tell us how you cooked?

I just cook duck.
I rub the inside with salt and pepper. And stuff with apples or sauerkraut. I fasten it with toothpicks.
I put it in a slow one and turned it on for the night at low
In the morning I checked the readiness. If possible, I drain the melted fat. Then on heating, already an hour before meals. We don't eat the skin, I take it off later.

[OlgaGera]

OlgaGera, ABOUT! Just our option! We don't eat skin either. And we love juicy meat). I told my husband. Interested). Already tortured me with his desire to buy a Goose for Christmas (Catholic). He is Orthodox and I am Catholic.

buy Goose

I don't like goose. His meat is different. Although, maybe I just wasn't slow then. You also need to think about it)))

[OlgaGera]

OlgaGera, I feel that everything will end with a duck). It is very difficult to find a good Goose in the right season. I would go with a duck. You can buy it everywhere.

Greetings colleagues!
Unexpectedly for myself, she became the owner of 2 slow cookers: kt-2010 and kt-205. I chose the first one for a long time and deliberately, so that there was a possibility of a delay and a timer. But it is great for me in most cases!
Although sometimes: a piece of a knuckle, like a thick ossobuco, turned out divine. Well, sometimes jellied meat, although I am very pleased with the taste of jellied meat cooked in the available multicooker.
But I wanted porridge! Boiled, creamy melted, with ruddy foam on top. And the kt-210 has a LOT! Therefore, kt-205 happened. She does it. But! Until it works at night: a lot of time on low, the crust dries up. But a couple of hours at high and a couple at low is what I wanted. Experiments have so far been carried out on long-cooked hercules and millet.
Hence the question: I know of sockets with a timer for turning off, but are there such outlets in nature for turning on? If so, is it possible for an example?

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, Congratulations on your purchase! Have you already prepared something?
Regarding the timer socket, I unfortunately do not know. Maybe the girls will tell you something.
I have a timer provided in the device itself (kitfort kt-213)

🔗
This can turn on and off at least every 15 minutes.

[Miela]

This can turn on and off at least every 15 minutes.

Wow! Thank you so thank you!



Miela, yes, the aforementioned shank (a piece of about 750 g) in kt-210 in cider half and half with water (3 hours at high and 5 hours at low, I have never tried this soft), chicken ventricles with leeks, carrots and sun-dried tomatoes (very long, 3 hours at high and 5 hours at low). In the shallow one - porridge and tormented quail. That is, I tried to cook something that usually takes a long time, and in a multicooker does not have time to "reach" for a stewing cycle. Or milk porridge, which I don't like from the multi.
Now I’m thinking whether I need both, or enough for the little one.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, Ooooh! The combination of pork and cider is heavenly). Like beetroot with goat cheese). Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely cook it!
And my husband adores stomachs). Especially commonplace salad with pickled onions and mayonnaise



NatalyaB, and there are guests? If yes, then the goodies should be shared). Threw in and cleaning, etc. And then the sorceress).

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, I also put pork with cider in the mental bookmarks. Indeed, the combination is perfect!

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,
Sveta, do you need to soak pork in cider in advance? Or pour so that the whole piece is covered and cooked in it? Or half a glass to the bottom?
You can read more, I'm not in the subject



NatalyaB,
How much cider with water? To cover a piece, or what?
Did you rub the shank with something, or salt, pepper directly into the cider and water?



A knuckle with a skin, or without? And with bone, or is 700 g the weight of meat, without bone? Sorry for being meticulous, I haven't eaten a knuckle in 50 years

Girls and boys, I don't know if you know or not, but there are so many slow cooker recipes in the yummly app.

how much cider with water? To cover a piece, or what?

A piece of a shank from the top, they sawed off for me, like a washer with a bone in the middle. With sandpaper. I did not rub it with anything, did not soak it, but slightly stuffed it with garlic (one medium slice in pieces). There was a little more than half a half-liter bottle of cider, less water, by eye. Not a cover, of course. Spices - various peppers with peas, a tiny piece of nutmeg, crushed cardamom seeds, onions, carrots. Closer to the end of cooking - bay leaf. In the process, I turned it over 3 times. Usually everything. It's just that I usually blush it in the oven later, but here it came out like it was out of the oven.
Today I put the same, but beef. Without garlic, pre-fried, and instead of cider - red wine and a little vegetable broth. Walk like that.
P.S. Yes, this time I tied a tourniquet across, because last time the meat fell apart. In general, and so ate, but I want to be beautiful!
P.S.2. This "washer" would easily fit into the kt-205, and the liquid would have gone much less, how it would have turned out, I can't say. But today he will cook porridge for me.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, at the thought of a beef shank in red wine, my salivation began. The only question I am concerned about is how the alcohol will evaporate from the wine. Was the cider half-and-half with water, or am I confusing it?

Today I want to try to cook boiled pork from beef.
If someone cooked boiled pork, please share the recipe.

[Miela]

Miela, well, the lid is still not completely sealed, for such and such a time ... Let's see. There will be a drink and a snack, as a last resort.
Probably, if there are concerns, it is better to pour the wine into the pan after frying and boil for 3 minutes, at the same time all the juices from the pan will be collected. Then pour this over the meat in a slow cooker. But I didn't finish something.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB, about a drink and a bite smiled))).

This "washer" would easily fit into the kt-205,

That's just about the puck and 205 I also thought. It is easier to buy pucks from us than a whole piece of leg. About the strapping, THANKS, I would not have guessed, but I also want to be beautiful.

Girls, what do you mean by a puck?

[Miela]

Miela,

[Kalyusya]

Kalyusya, oooo, I want that too! I don't like pork, but my husband will love it. How much meat. And for jellied meat, too! I only took such beef wheels on osso buco.

The shank in KT205 is in my plans for the future, but for now KT205 very successfully cooked chickpeas for me, without soaking, in a ratio of 1: 3 for 3.5 hours on High + 6 hours on Low and left it to stand for an hour or two with the device turned off. A soft and * juicy * tie turned out and not a single pea fell apart.

Girls, cooked beef with tomato rice in a slow cooker yesterday. The language will not turn out to be called pilaf. But it turned out delicious). She took steamed rice.
She quickly fried the meat in a pan. Then I posted it to mdv. I added spices and turned it on high for 3 hours. I cooked at night, so at the end of 3 hours I turned off the MDV. In the morning I added more salt and a tablespoon of tomato paste (I wanted tomato rice.

Good evening slow making. Recently I bought myself a 3.5 liter slow. Well, I'm very happy. The question of buying big and small is ripe. I read a lot here. A porridge formed in my head. I can't choose which one to buy. I think in most cases I will put it to work at night. But I'll save it in the afternoon. I made applesauce in mine. I liked the taste and that without the hassle. I cut it, extinguished it, punched it with a blender and put it on a slow mode.In the morning I punched it again with a blender and into the jar. I put a lot of waste on the stove in a saucepan in parallel, a lot of dirty dishes and all sorts of body movements, but the taste did not please. It turns out much sour. I don't add sugar. But a small volume comes out of mine. Here's my eye on the kitfort 6 liter. But many write that they are very nimble. Who has such a volume of slow kitfort, can I put it overnight, like mine, on the minimum mode, so that it cooks or extinguishes for 10 hours, for example? Or just through the socket timer? Does it have the ability to languish for a long time, as in less powerful ones?



And can someone tell you what is happening with ozone? I can't go in for several days. I wanted to see the slow ones there. Writes a server error

[OLGA 62]

OLGA 62, good evening. I have a 4.5 liter kitfort and it's really nimble. I won't tell you about 6 liters. The only thing I have with electronics (delay start and timer). Very comfortably.
I also plan to make applesauce this week. As I do, I will unsubscribe about the "nimbleness" of the device.

I put a lot of waste on the stove in a saucepan in parallel, a lot of dirty dishes and all sorts of body movements

hmm .. the same as in slow motion. only much faster.
The taste is, yes, different.

I always remove the middle before cooking
