Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Yes, it also boils and burns at the minimum

it shouldn't be that way. Is it possible to pass this excessively heating device?

I also found a variant of Slowcooker Food Master
it says there is a thermometer. Maybe he is with a thermastat and himself turns on / off the heating for precise adjustment. Didn't find any reviews anywhere

[smalkin]

smalkin, I do not know how it is, but for example, Hamilton beach with a thermometer is just quicker than a slow one.




smalkin, any slow, if long cooking is meant, should quickly gain 60 degrees in order to eliminate spoilage of the product and not turn it into a breeding ground for bacteria.
For example, I am very happy with the option to put it first on high for 1-5-2 hours and then it goes into heating itself. And nothing burns. True, I don't cook dry. In any case, I add a little broth or water.
I have kitfort kt-213

Here they praised the slow ones, which are with an auto program. But they don't seem to be on sale in Russia. Forgot their last name

I bought an oval slow-motion bottle Russell Hobbs, for 3.5 liters, I overlooked - it has a Teflon bowl, it turns out

any slow, if long cooking is meant, should quickly gain 60 degrees in order to exclude spoilage of the product and not turn it into a breeding ground for bacteria.

not at all and should not.
Standard slowcooking is for that, so as not to heat up soon.
I did not notice from my three standard slow cookers that they quickly brought up to 60 * = Boy and two Kenwoods.
Slow cookers don't judge by Kitforth

[Irina]

IrinaI'm judging by hamilton beach and crock pot and cuisinart. Read the guidelines and instructions. I talked with acquaintances and friends in the States. Kitfort in terms of power, believe me, has not gone so far from some American models.
About "quickly" I put it wrong.

About "quickly" I put it wrong.

then the question arises - why exactly 60 *? when high and low temperatures are higher.

instructions for different slow cookers may differ, American slow cookers are somehow not very common in Russia

[Irina]

Irina, the instructions for some of these slowers say 140 Fahrenheit. In order not to spread salmonella). Yesterday again with a friend from Boston and his mother and sisters (the holidays. The whole family is assembled) discussed this. Kitfort has at least a Divine instruction. American have three words in five rows. You can understand it yourself. There is more information on the Internet and reviews than in the instructions. Maybe they got it wrong. But they swore at the interruption that no.

[Myrrh]

Myrrh, yes I do not judge by instructions, but by long-term experience

[Irina]

Irina, everything is possible.

Boy

And how to look for it in the tyrnet, how many did not type in the search engine, nothing ..

[Trishka]

Trishka, Ksyusha! So look. I used to find more about her.
See something else about Pokhlebkin. He wrote instructions for her.

No, it was Parenka who looked, does not give out anything ...

[Trishka]

Trishka, Ksyusha! Tell me, what exactly do you want to know?

Yes mlina, it's easy to look at her

Boy

under the spoiler

and to buy is on Avito, if in the last 4 years they have not been sold out by our members of the forum))

look

Type the boy's Slow-cooker in the search box, and you will find red, light gray, and colored pots.

Yeah, I found it.
I was picking up slows, but I needed an electric pan.
Thank you girls!

I measured the temperature for both Kitforth 2010 at 3.5 liters and Russell Hobbs of the same topic and power, Kitforth picks up temperature about 1.5 times faster than Russell. The measurement results were placed in the topic of Tatiana Admin, they are there.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana, what is Tanya's topic?

[Lily]

LilyI'm thinking about this

https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=158313.0

Yes, I put tables there for comparison

Mirra, Oksana

Does anyone have Russell Hobbs 24180-56? How is she? Doesn't it boil like kitfort?

and about Atlanta ATH-598 the same is interesting if anyone has it.

Russell Hobbs 24180-56

I have a delicate

[helenanik]

helenanik
Elena, do you cook beans in it?
I want to put the beans in my Russell oval for the night and soak them on High, but I am too lazy to boil them beforehand, as the instructions advise, and it seems to me that oxen need not be 1: 4, but only so that the beans are covered

[Oksana]

Oksana, I haven't cooked anything in it for a long time, except broths and compotes - a lot of different techniques

Atlanta ATH-598 the same interesting if anyone has

I'm happy with Atlanta. I already wrote - it works slowly, the power is 170 watts, the electronic control is a real slow cooker, unlike Kitfort. She cooked porridge, jellied meat, broths, stewed meat, made baked milk and butter. In addition to oil, I turned on everything at night.

but too lazy to boil it beforehand

I only soak the beans for 4 hours, not for a long time, so that they do not start to open, I put the soaked beans in half a cup of the largest, and more often a third of the bowl, water to the top of the bowl, and on high until the beans are soft, and because I do not cook right away small, then I pour no more than 800 ml into cans. Hot for twisting. I store in the refrigerator, canned food like the store. And the beans are delicious and the broth comes in handy.

[Irgata]

Irgata,
Ira, at one time Russell turned out to be the most difficult slow cooker for me, I couldn't handle it at all, shed a lot of tears, messed up a bunch of food and time and sold it.
Your Kenwoods will be faster, with them I started some kind of friendship with the classics.
Now I bought Russell again specifically to understand what I was doing wrong, having already had my own practical experience. But, as I take it out of the box, some kind of uncertainty begins to torment again and I hide it again and grab onto the reliable Whales.
(I got some sort of * food * beans, but at least from Krasnolar, not Ethiopia). The package says that you first need to soak it, then boil it for 20 minutes and drain the water, then pour hot water and cook until tender



As a result, I soaked the beans (800 g dry) for 12 hours and saw that most of them gave tiny sprouts
I washed it, put it in a bowl, filled it with water 2.5 cm above the level of the beans, this is about 1 "8 liters.
It turned out just 2/3 of the bowl, maybe a little higher
After 4 hours, the beans began to boil quietly (like jellied meat, in separate boules over the entire surface) and gave a copious foam. The foam cap has risen a centimeter and a half, it's good that I still have room to the edge of the bowl and.

The smell of beans is pleasant, not harsh, like imported



The beans were cooked in 6 hours for * 2 *, I left them to cool in a bowl, then rinse and freeze in portions.
The beans boiled evenly for about 2 hours, remained in shape, but soft.

I think that you need to set at night with a timer.

The result is a three-liter bowl of evenly soft and whole beans

Russell Hobbs 19790-56 is sensitive to the amount of liquid in which the dish is prepared.
It warms up the thick sauce evenly with active boiling in small curls over the entire surface (on Hai), but if there is a lot of liquid and the cat cries thick, such as broth, or ghee, then there will be no active boiling, there will be boiling and bubbles around the edges and * shaking * surface *

How do you like such a device? Russell Hobbs 25630 multicooker and Sous Vide water bath in one bottle, built-in digital display and stand included, 6.5 L, Black

Interesting what. I was staring at the morphics. It has a hinged lid and a 6.5 liter capacity of only 170 watts. That will be a specific slug. Only I don't like the flip cover.

Russell Hobbs is one-on-one in appearance with Kitford, only a Teflon bowl. Where is it produced? Who slammed who? I didn't find something. But more expensive with equal functions and liters is almost twice. The metal bowl heats up faster, retains heat worse and cools faster. In theory. What's better? Are there owners to compare?
If the porridge in Kitford is slightly welded, if you do not interfere a couple of times, then it should be stronger in the metal? With equal power.

[NatalyaB]

NatalyaB,
In 6 liters, porridge can be cooked in separate pots, in a water bath, certainly there are no piers anywhere and there will be no crust on top. But in the morning to wash the bowl ... soon bothers

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, 6 liters is not my topic. And fiddle with the pots ... I have whales for 1.5 and 3.5 liters. I hardly use the second one, it is too big.
I'm just asking about the difference. They look the same, but the cost is different.

They look the same, but the cost is different.

That is why there is nothing on our market. except for whales. If only on Avito. Kitforth moved everyone

used kitfort and was dissatisfied

Anton, buy a mechanical timer in an outlet for 200re and you will be happy))) It is very convenient with it, get used to adjusting and no need to spend any thousand on a new slow ...

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, I bought such an outlet for 400 something. Lying around idle.

And I use it (I bought it for 300 rubles), and I use it with pleasure. No need to twitch, I will have time - I will not have time to return or wake up

And I use it (I bought it for 300 rubles), and I use it with pleasure. No need to twitch, I will have time - I will not have time to return or wake up

So do I. Comfortable, calm.
Well, or buy electronically.

Tell me, please, I can not understand the difference between Kitfort 207 and 2010.
And does anyone have a 212 model? It seems convenient: delayed start, timer.

In Kitfort 207 3.5 liters, and in 2010 3.4 liters, as well as slightly different pens.

Have they released a whole separate model with such a small difference? Very strange ...

And does anyone have a 212 model

I have it, I'm happy.

[Daria]

Daria, M @ rtochkaI bought an oval whale because of the duck. So do not miss such a moment either.
It is inconvenient to bake a duck or chicken in a round ...

[Ksyusha]

Ltd, Ksyusha!!
In this thread or in which one to look for reviews? Did you write your impressions somewhere?
Can you cook porridge, porridge, then? Or is it still not?))

Tell me, please, I can't understand the difference between Kitfort 207 and 2010

At the office. the site says 210 - 6.5 liters, 207 - 3.5 liters
