Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

[Irina]

Irina, does your slow cooker switch off at the end of the set time? Trishka, congratulations on your purchase, a long and fruitful life in the hands of a craftswoman - Ksyusha!

congratulations on your purchase

Thank you!

Ksyushik, what a cool Ken you have!
Let it serve for a long time and do not know wear and tear.
Now prepare something.

Yeah, now what

kid

Yeah, for 4.5 l

Well, compared to the 8 L-kid ..

Well, yes, with what to compare, but the castrUlka is decent.

The castrulka is decent.

CastrUl should be decent.

Yeah.

[on off]

the boast came

with arrival and replenishment
If anything:
first on the middle button on the right on off, then a set of time +then choice regime, after the expiration of time, the slow motion goes to varm for 2 hours.

Does your slow cooker switch off at the end of the set time?

For 6 years, I have not noticed whether the 707 itself turns off for good, most likely not. I rarely use it, Kenwood is the main cook for 6.5 liters, and recently the Kit-babai 8-liter was added)
For the night I will put a compote of dried fruits in Kenwood707, and in the morning I will find out if it has switched off itself, or if it will be warming up for more than 2 hours.
So it is written - a maximum of 2 hours per varm. The time is counting down to 0.
707 very slow-baked - the bowl is thick, heats up for a long time.
Bowl thickness to volume ratio - great for slow brewing.

[Trishka]

Trishka,
Ksyusha, excellent Kenvul, I had 706, the most pleasant impressions, if it was half the size .. I would have been the best.

I wonder how the quality is? They have a lot of interesting things.

[Ksyusha]

Ksyusha, with replenishment! Let it serve for a long time and reliably!

I wonder how the quality is?

I think, not worse than others) sympathy is such a casterole, elegant.
But the delivery is very expensive, the very slow is almost 5000 r, so the site determined the delivery for me 2500 r.

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, Marish, thanks!

identified the site 2500 r.

Whoa ...

Ksyusha, with a new thing! Let it pleases for a long time.

Ol, thanks!

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana, Modes: slow cooking (setting low and high. During cooking, you can change the time); cooking sous-vide (you can also change the time and t during cooking); cooking with a temperature probe. A multi-cook is very convenient, since you can adjust both t and time already during cooking. Keeping warm. It turns on automatically after cooking for 4 hours. Sound signals. The instructions describe how to use it. There are tables. Oval cover with removable seal. On the cover and on the handle, there are holes for the dipstick. The handles are fixed. The lid fits snugly. Very informative screen. Push-button control.Temperature from 38 to 91 degrees. Some stores incorrectly indicate that there is a delayed start function. Overall, the machine is good. Convenient bowl.

[Odessitka]

Odessitka,
Irina, thank you for the detailed answer, this is definitely not for me.
Yesterday my Russell cooked vegetable broth for 7 hours (at 97 degrees,). And, judging by the spec. books, he only has the LOU mode, because on Hai he had to cook in 3-4 hours.
I am looking for a hotter model to make roast fashionable and make soups, stews and stews.

[slow]

Yesterday my Russell cooked vegetable broth for 7 hours (at 97 degrees,). And, judging by the spec. books, he only has the LOU mode, because on Hai he had to cook in 3-4 hours.

for slowcooking is the normal temperature for Hi... The temperature at HI is kept at about 100 *.
At LOU about 90 *. This is the norm for a slow cooker.
And everything that b givesaboutHigher temperatures are no longer slow cookers, but other electrically heated pans.
A long time ago I read in the reviews for Kenwood, a man wrote - Disadvantages: Very slow cooks.

slowly cooks.

Fun, how is this saucepan supposed to cook? How's the pressure cooker?
Sometimes they write in stores not a slow cooker, but a slow cooker, misleading people.

[slow]

misleading people

Duc .. before the slow cookers were in steamers, then they moved to multicooker, and now the newfang is sous-vidnitsy
Word slowcooking, as marketers think, is not popular with the population.
He never uses it, slow cooking is not too attractive for anyone, as my neighbor told me - I have no time to cook for so long.
Well, somewhere, she’s right - she works from morning to evening, and it seems that she’s just right for the slow conditions, but she’s really afraid to leave the electric pan unattended. Although the power of the slow ones is small, our Soviet wiring does not have such a load as from other modern devices.

Yes, if unattended for the whole day, it's dumb.
Option: only at night.

[Odessitka]

Odessitka, gorgeous you have a slow!
I also wanted this and Su to try to master

misleading the people.

And then they complain that sales have stopped.

[Ksyusha]

Ksyusha, I would also not leave the slow one for the whole day.
I don’t leave it for the night either, I still need to look at the process every couple of hours.

[Trishka]

Trishka,
Ksyusha, and smells interfere with me at night and I feel warmth even from 3.5 liters

Trishka,

Duc, and I once put meat and potatoes at night, a sleepless night was provided, now if only milk porridge ...

I don’t leave it for the night either, I still need to look at the process every couple of hours.

If the process has already been tried and worked out during the day, with approaches and a look, then at night it is quite, but for the whole night I cannot, only with a timer-socket. Maybe because I have kids 205 and 206, but for more than 6 hours I cooked something a couple of times in total, usually less is needed. And with an outlet - ok.

[Trishka]

Trishka,
And I cooked cabbage soup at night, so with a spoon back and forth and wound, took off the sample, until I completely interrupted sleep

spoon back and forth and dangled

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, Thank you. Yes, I like MV. Yesterday I made pilaf "in Russian", that is, with barley, chicken and mushrooms. My hubby has eaten barley twice for 42 years. And this put on a plate. And purred all the time. I was happy.

[Irina]

Irina, tell us how you cooked, plz!

And my Russell is now making me chicken broth from the Hamilton Beach slow cooker book.
PS I downloaded 4 books for myself for free, with recipes and tips for slow cookers.
I learned that they buy 1.5 liters for making meatballs in sauce, dips, yondyu and party mixes with nuts.
I didn't find a word about porridge.

Where are the download links?

downloaded for free

And please share with us!

I didn't find a word for porridge

Not in order, you need to teach them to cook porridge

🔗

Thank you, are they all in English?

[Trishka]

Trishka,
Yeah

Google translator will translate recipes. True translates clumsily, but everything is clear how to cook.

[Marpl]

Marpl,
There, in the big book, good advice about the size of the model to fit your needs, and about loading, and about cooking rice and pasta.Unfortunately, suppliers and sellers do not devote the necessary amount of time to educating the population, and we have to go robbers ourselves and learn to cook again. Many simply do not have the time and energy for this.

For me, the slow cooker turned out to be not such a simple unit, I am not delighted with every dish from it: either the oak potatoes, or the porridge is not like that, then something else ... Yes, there are actually a lot of these "something" for me.
Insanely grateful to everyone who carefully verifies and describes their recipes. For especially gifted people, like me, this is a very great help.

Oksana, thank you very much for the links to the books. I'll try to cook something. And there is no need to be offended by other opinions, they are all different and no one wanted to offend anyone. I completely agree with Irina that a slow pan is just a saucepan, but ceramic and of low power. Also, MV and SV are pans, but they are more modern and they make cooking very easy for me, they free up a lot of time. And everyone chooses the most convenient pots for him personally.

[Marina]

slow is just a saucepan, but ceramic and low power

Marina, it's all clear and everyone knows it. Why write about it again and again? Oksana brings results of using slow drinks, even different slow drinks on the same recipe, temperature, observation - this is interesting and valuable. And the fact that this is a saucepan, sorry, here it is obvious to everyone in any color and font size.

Sveta, and this was written for Oksana. For some reason, she saw some insults and rudeness in Irina's statements. And just to write so that just about nothing, I have no such habit. I already mostly read, because we have such fans on the forum to have fun pulling phrases out of the text and cling to them.
