[Trishka]

Trishka, Congratulations! Let him cook deliciously and please the hostess).

Girls, thanks!
Kitenysh 3.5 liters, I thought it would be big, no, not so much.
It seems to me that the volume in Russell was larger, although there was also 3.5, apparently an optical illusion.

Oh, Ksyunya, what a beautiful "toy! Congratulations! And I keep thinking ... My sore died. Probably, first I'll buy something instead. And then! ...

I took a video in M., with bonus points it came out almost for nothing.
Model 212.

For my Kit, someone has crumpled his sides right in the center, and then he serves and cooks compotes, and only small scratches on the body ... Don't worry!

Immediately the question is, who cooked something like a lagman in a slow, or even not try?

Here, take me back to the slow-cooking ranks, I hope I will make friends with this "shaitan - machine".

Aaaaaa, congratulations! I hope to be friends and there will be another baby next!

Olga, thank you!
I hope so too

Olga, thank you!
I hope so too

I got up in the morning today, I think what to cook. In the evening I forgot to defrost the meat. I sit my turnip scratching, there is no hurry. And then my husband calls, I'm going to the city for work, if you want to hang on, in forty minutes be ready. Barely fell, I, as if undermined, rushed to the freezer, slow. She threw vegetables on the bottom of the ice cream, poured a little oil with oil, peeled the potatoes in the same place. At this time, she threw the meat into the water. The meat was already sliced ​​into pieces. Prepared the type of marinade, sauce, seasonings, garlic, butter oil. I threw half of the frozen meat into the bag, mixed everything with the sauce and into the pan. Put the lid on, hi and ready. I did everything in half an hour. And I also managed to look at the bread maker. We arrived a little late, I thought we’ll manage quickly, put it on high ... delayed. I forgot that I put the meat. She opened the doors, and here it smells delicious. Everything is fine, not overcooked, not overcooked. And I am such a direct businesslike .... I tell my husband, you will eat, everything is ready. What a charm. for those who are always underperforming or in a hurry ... this is the best device

unsuccessful or in a hurry ... this is the best device

[Trishka]

Trishka, I also warmed up some water. No wonder it was written). Rules are rules.



OLGA 62, I liked about you will eat everything is ready)! Class!
And many do not understand the charm of the slow). I’m just heating the kettle on the stove and cooking pasta and rice. The rest is all slow). I got sick and there is no desire to cook at all, but you need to feed your own. It's so convenient with slow cookers. I put everything in and lie quietly under the blanket, and do not ride with maracas near the stove.

Well, potatoes and slugs are not friends with me. I put potatoes with fish in sour cream, 3.5 hours - oak potatoes, and then when, it's night in the yard. She took out a pressure cooker, threw it into it to finish cooking. Cooked in a whale 205, boils, but oak. The potato is native, crumbly, but flint is straight in the slow.

[Stafa]

Stafa,
In Kita potatoes for at least 3 hours on HI ... the meat is the same.

I have been cooking meat for a long time, but this is not the first time I have been able to make potatoes. It's just that Oksana wrote 3 hours on high, I have 3.5 hours and nothing. No dinner yet.
I have been slowing down for more than 7 years and I constantly cook in them. In all. This 5th is a small kitfort.

Well, potatoes and slows are not friends in any way.

- if the sour cream is sour, especially if the sour cream, and not the store, the acid tan the potatoes, and if the potatoes are in liquid at the same time.

Slow Cooker Kitfort KT 205 # 45

Yes, I know that it is tanning, so I always cook potatoes with sour, if anything, in a pressure cooker. In the cartoon, you get tired of extinguishing it.

[Stafa]

Stafa, potatoes in sour cream take much longer to cook than in water / cream / milk. Because the environment is acidic.
I do this without fish: I cook potatoes (carrots, turnips, zucchini, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, which is for potatoes), cut and boil on the stove almost until cooked. It is possible in a slow cooker, but on the stove for about 15 minutes, and in a slow cooker - hours. Then I drain the water and put it in the slow cooker, putting a piece of butter on the bottom. Salt and pour sour cream, mix. If I did it with fish, I would add it at this moment - the fish cooks quickly. Further, depending on the available time: either 3-4 hours at low, or 2-2.5 hours at high. Everything, I am free for these hours.

little kitfort.

that's funny - I cooked potatoes a couple of times in baby MAMAN = and t there quickly reaches max, for a couple of hours and is already boiling, but the potatoes in it are also kind of oaky = maybe in small, like slow, potatoes of "volumetric languishing" - is it not enough?
Mom didn't tell me anything bad about the potatoes, it seemed like everything was okay.

Thanks for the recipes, I eat potatoes on the day before lunch. Here I read the description of Oksana and wanted to have fish, which I, too, very rarely. For me, the best fish is meat. And after these Bubnotants, I won't want that potato soon. In a year, we can again want to, and again I will forget that it takes a long time and dreary.

[Stafa]

Stafa, I have a disorder today too. The husband gently hinted that he didn't like the taste of beef in a slow cooker. It tastes too beefy. Too natural. Spices are present, believe me. Killed straight (.
Girls and boys, maybe I was looking badly, but did not find how much chicken broth to cook?
I went to look again.

I've also watched many different videos on cooking in slow dishes. And in them, many cook chicken and its parts. So my son also told me that it is better not to cook chicken in them, not that. He approved of pork, although everything was the same, only he replaced the chicken with lean pork.

[Miela]

Miela, I make beef in a piece according to a merchant's recipe, so it turns out gorgeous. And the beef goulash with sour cream is also good, first the beef in slices with onions and 100-150 ml brine from tomatoes or cucumbers, after 3.5 hours I add 250 grams of sour cream and another 30 minutes, salt, pepper to taste
And I put the broth for 7 hours, pour boiling water over the chicken ridge, a little salt, lavrushka and ground pepper. I put it in the night, low mode, in the morning I pour it into a container, disassemble the meat from the bones and cook everyday soup with noodles in this broth for my husband.

potatoes in sour cream take much longer to cook than in water / cream / milk. Because the environment is acidic.

Yesterday I made potatoes with drumsticks and sour cream, however, in RH, 5 hours on high + 3 hours on heating.
Today, two times 40 minutes per stew in the element is oak potatoes. Probably you need to get tired first, and only then add sour cream. In short, dancing with tambourines

[Stafa]

Stafa, I have mine not to eat anything sour, nothing tomato. I'm generally silent about side dishes (. Rice (not all varieties. I have six of them at home, by the way, potatoes (not all dishes), couscous (rarely) and buckwheat.
My daughter does not eat pasta, dumplings (I mold for my husband myself).
I shoot with them.

And what mode do you cook the broth on?



It all depends on how you cut the potatoes. Cut into thin slices by hand or on a mandolin and overlap. And I guarantee you that it will be ready in less than three hours!

Meat for high, broth for low. And with thin plates - I will give these potatoes to the stump, to tinker with them.

[Stafa]

She took it out and counted. Really six varieties.





Stafa, if not with plates, then you will have to cook for 5-6 hours at high.

I went to cook the broth and put it in the lulu (to sleep).
Good night everybody).

[Miela]

Miela,
I made not only plates, but thin slices, and only after 80 minutes on the stew in the element something more or less edible turned out. Although it also depends on the potatoes.

[helenanik]

helenanik, we also have our own potatoes. My husband and my brother-in-law dug up a week ago. When you are cleaning the oak, and preparing the rules.
Tomorrow at 205 I'll try to cook and unsubscribe.

I cooked buckwheat at 205 today. It took 2:20 on a low. Three hours is too much for me. It will also rise in a hot bowl.

What can I say? I am delighted! Buckwheat is crumbly, edible (I can't stand buckwheat) and there is no smell when cooking, as if I were cooking on the stove. Just for the sake of this, it was worth buying a sturdy baby 205).

I cooked the broth at 213. A bit unclear. We are all sick, so we will drink whatever it is, but cook on the stove and arrange kumar on the entire first floor. Thank you but no.
I am very pleased that at last they started selling slow cookers in Russia and they are very affordable.

I cooked the broth at 213. Unclear.

I cook broths all the time. Either as a tear, it is unclear, then generally straight whitish. It depends on the chickens. But everyone has a gorgeous taste, I will not change it for anything from other multi pressure cookers. From the slow, both broth and jellied meat are gorgeous. And in this they have no competitors. Although goulash, meat according to merchants, shanks are also only in slow ones. Moreover, my husband, who always needs to hurry, and for so long, when he touches other dishes, the above will wait as long as necessary from the slow. Because the taste of these dishes overrides the cooking time. Better hold on than the wrong coat.

[Stafa]

Stafa, maybe the truth is in chicken. But I liked the broth in the pot more.
Tomorrow I will buy a sports (homemade chicken) and cook from it).



Stafa, What is your slowness? Sorry, I don't remember.

I have 5, 6.5 liter kenwood for jellies and more than 2 steering wheels, 3.5 liters, 2 pieces of 1.5 liters - Chinese and kitfort 205, and maman for 1 liter, in common parlance a monster. I constantly use only the latter. Great on occasion.
I cook broths from chicken ridges in 1.5 liters, then I dilute them in half during cooking, since the broth is very concentrated.

[Stafa]

Stafa, wow slow park)!

I cooked 4.5 liters yesterday. Maybe overdid it with liquid. I wanted more broth.

No, we will eat so much broth for a year. In 1.5 liter then for a week we have broth. I cook soup for my husband in a 0.7 ladle broth + spider web vermicelli, I dilute the broth in half with water, otherwise it turns out very saturated. Cooked in a 1.5 liter whale is enough for 5 days somewhere. Then I cook again. And so in a circle.

Here, take me back to the slow-cooking ranks, I hope I will make friends with this "shaitan - machine".

Well, how is the development of the shaitan machine going? Is the contact established?

In vain I was worried that I was small by 1.5 liters. Very roomy.

How is your experience with the device? Do you like the taste of the dishes?

Satan of the machine passes

I don’t know yet, today I’m cooking like a lagman, I slightly fried the vegetables, the meat too, added everything, added 1/2 glass of water, spices and put on Hai, for 3.5 hours, I’m waiting ...
Boil homemade noodles separately.

Ksyushik, you and the lagman have come up with great ideas! I'll cook it today too. What a yummy!
I usually did it in a thick frying pan under the lid, but here Keith is asking for it.
And with homemade noodles and in general it will be complete mmmmm !!!!
Ksyushik, thanks for the idea!

[OLGA 62]

OLGA 62, I have 205 already the second slow cooker, so I'm not particularly surprised).
Yesterday I made potatoes in small ones. Just pieces, a little bit of vegetable oil, salt. And on high for 3 hours. Disconnected even earlier. Then she sprinkled it with dill and showered with sour cream).
The kid is smart enough).

I noticed that if you kind of grease the potatoes with butter ... I put it in a bag yesterday and put butter with spices there. She pounded back and forth ... and slowly. To vegetables and meat on top. The potatoes were soft and did not change color. Today the color has changed a little, a bit, as it usually happens in a saucepan. But the carrots were more like a little fried throw. Although just raw carrots are delicious

[OLGA 62]

OLGA 62, By the way, yes! I paid attention to this too. Two pieces that did not get oil changed color.

thanks for the idea

Oh, no, I haven't cooked it for a thousand years.

With the modes, I was wiser, first put on High for 3.5 hours, since everything was already hot, pre-fried, then after 2 hours or more it was already quietly boiling, and it was almost ready, I added tomatoes with garlic, turned it off, and switched to Lowe for 2 hours and went to the store, came, it has been heated for 40 minutes, turned it off, added a little salt, I'm waiting for the guys for dinner ...
It smells boring, hachu
