Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Well, I'm already cooking porridge for 2 hours and 40 minutes. I put everything for the porridge in a pot. She put a small terry napkin at the bottom of the slow-cooking cauldron, and put a small pot on it. I did not pour the "interlayer" water.

Now I looked, then the porridge is puffing in the pot.

Already turned it off. And then I opened the lid, and there was a smell of fried terry cloth and a little white smoke in the kitchen.

We need to put something tomorrow without a napkin, or for the night today. I'll think ...

I have never done that (I have half a liter in total))) but I think - what for is there water? the ceramics should not heat up too much, you can put an empty clay pot in the oven - and the pot in the pot too ... Yes, and terry towels ... If Teflon was then understandable - so as not to scratch, but ceramics then nothing and so I think it won't do ...

p. from. Water can for thermal conductivity between the main vessel and the one inside, eh?

Anya, I wanted to answer you during the day, but I didn't have time. you don't have to worry about the pan, it is baked at a temperature of about 1000 gr. That for her these 80, the more a slow sparing set. The only fear is to studio it just as slowly, preferably without taking it out of the box, so that water does not accidentally splash on it, in general, take a closer look. And so on temperatures, yes, must withstand.

[Venetian]

The fact is that water drips from the lid to the dry bottom in any way. And at the same time squirt.

Ira, if you had time to dash off to me during the day, then I would not have set up an experiment, and so I cooked porridge for tomorrow.
Yeah, I took off the lid, pulled out the pot, and now it is slowly cooling down.

Water can for thermal conductivity between the main vessel and the one inside, eh?

Venetian, Who knows...

I myself invented the water between the pots. It was based on the fact that MB manufacturers write that it is imperative to add water. True, I cooked so much and never added water. It often happens that I put little food, and the bottom is generally bare in places.

What bothers me to top up the interlayer water is due to the fact that a little scale is formed on anyone. And somehow mostly on the sides of the pan. Since I do not plan to use special means for cleaning, I think it is better to cook this without water at all.

You know girls, I was already sure that they were bringing me a half-ruck or kopeck piece. And today it turned out that it is 3.5 liters, although at a nice price ... That's why I decided to put an experiment at least.

Well, somehow I do not want 3 liters, with 6.5 available on the farm.

Well, somehow I do not want 3 liters, with 6.5 available on the farm.

I assure you, she will seem tiny to you compared to yours bandura... And you don't have to cook 3 liters. I respect my 3.5 very much

so I don’t believe that 3, 5 will not be needed, because I’m looking for it myself. Well, you need to fill it with a maximum of 2/3 and at least a third, that is, we have a liter with a penny of volume. Of course, I don't know if it is needed if there is a six-liter bully, but I think that this is the most ideal size for them ... you try to measure the volume of the portion that you usually lay down to cook for the products that you are going to cook at MDV, maybe then it will become clearer ...

[Venetian]

Ira, I decided to think about three rubles before Sunday.It's just that I cook mainly in small portions, now I cook pilaf for 1 glass of rice in Panas. There seems to be a 4-liter pan, so there is a pilaf at the bottom.
If the meat is carcass, then somewhere 0.5 kg, well, maybe a little more, it is also usually scattered along the bottom of the multi-piece. I cook milk porridge in 99% per liter.
Because of all these moments, I don't really want a 3-3.5 slow cooker, but I want less.

But in my bandura 6.5 excellent, you can cook 3 dishes without straining. Here are 2 pots with garnish + meat, and also glasses with dessert. I take this to a minimum. So a lot has its advantages.

Venetian while I was writing and you already wrote. ...

If I didn't have CF, then I would like to be oval at 3.5. And already there bandura by 6.5.

Well, here I am ripe for a slow cooker, yesterday I ordered Seabreeze SB-430 for 3.5 liters. I hope that tomorrow - after tomorrow will come. I love fermented baked milk, and baked milk in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - a ceramic saucepan, should be cool.

[Maryana61]

Maryana61I think you will be glad to have a slow cooker!

I just put the porridge in the refrigerator and breathed in its aroma. Well, I have no words to describe the magical aroma of milk porridge from a slow cooker !!! I never stop admiring every time! No device can repeat this. Fact.

I love fermented baked milk, and baked milk in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - a ceramic saucepan, should be cool.

The most melted baked milk is obtained in a slow cooker.

If the meat is carcass, then somewhere 0.5 kg, well, maybe a little more, it is also usually scattered along the bottom of the multi-piece. I cook milk porridge in 99% per liter.
Because of all these moments, I don't really want a 3-3.5 slow cooker, but I want less.
If I didn't have CF, then I would like to be oval at 3.5. And already there bandura by 6.5.

but from personal experience. I had 800 grams of beef, or a little less. And I put it in the Burgundy meat, that is, I had to add wine, broth and carrots, onions, tomatoes. So I was able to stuff only half of the meat and add only wine to it, without broth. The result was not "slow-cooking" - there was little sauce and the meat was not stewed but dried. It is small for hot stewing, small!
That's what I absolutely agree with is that one and a half liters for porridge is ideal, but, as I said, at 3.5 liters will just go into the "minimum" norm. I'm not trying to persuade this that I need to "push" 3.5 liters, and besides that you are unlikely to find a poltorashku, I personally took mine in France (and she herself is an Englishwoman), and they only served it to France ... I also seem to have seen a German ebey, if I need to I can try to find and throw a link.

Mryana, congratulations on your purchase, long life in a slow cooker and delicious, delicious dishes.

Kvinushka, take 3.5 liters, and God willing there will be half a tartar, I read in my manual that there is also a slow cooker for 1 liter of the same manufacturer, so 1.5 liters is not the smallest one.

[Venetian]

Vikusya, yeah, it's cool for 1 liter. I'm thinking about 3.5 ... Time permits. But for now, somehow I don't really want to.

Venetian, thank you, of course, I would like a half-ruck, but apparently I don't want to buy straight from abroad. Well it is necessary to somehow write off the seller, pay, order, receive. I avoid such complications.

[Gaby]

Innusya, you take him to the store and show Kenwood, his price is good right away and for a long time, and by the way, tell me about it, but on the internet I saw Ukrainian production for ... It seems to me that you can play on the contrast of prices, especially since the price just a penny in my opinion compared to the same Kenwood. Then show the experiences of Supercoe and other girls, like Natamailaw - she is a pioneer. You tell him

........
Gaby, well, everything, a conspiracy against a loved one is almost drawn up ... it remains to finalize the details ...
Rinochka, Venetian, thanks for the consultation, I have now almost decided. I think if they are "multi-liter" ones, then 3.5 will do just right for me (I took a pill for greed, and it still works, I don't know what will be in the store ..) In short, I will do everything, I will definitely inform you, but the goal is set Adnaznaaaa!

Girls, tell me who and how it costs to wash the saucepan after heating the milk. I heat for a very long time, I like the milk to be cocoa color with a thick foam. I take milk from a domestic cow from a milkmaid. But then on the walls of the saucepan, the strip where the foam stuck practically does not peel off. I don't want to scratch the saucepan with iron graters, and I already defended it, soaking it all night and rubbing it with all sorts of powders. Now I poured water with Pril balm and put it on HI, maybe this strip will lag behind.
This is how I suffer every time after heating milk.
Share your work, plizzz.
P.S. No dishwasher and not planned.

I scrub with regular dish sponges with a hard layer.

[Lyi]

Lyi, yes, there is such a troublesome moment after heating the milk. I first soak the saucepan, and then peel off the crust with a metal Amway washcloth. She (this sponge) rules in all respects.

[Please girls, pay attention to this post of mine.]

Please girls, pay attention to this post of mine.

Do not soak a slow cooker pot with mixed water. means. I have already written about my position in this situation, but I will write a few more words. Very briefly so that the essence is clear.

I poured water with Pril balm and put it on HI, maybe this strip will lag behind.

Sometimes I read such posts, and I want to write my opinion. The slow cooker casserole VERY absorbs liquid, and then, accordingly, gives it to what is being cooked. Remember, everywhere it is mentioned that the pots (ordinary, familiar from the Soviet times), in which we will cook in the oven, must be soaked in water for 30-40 minutes? That is, ceramics is a sponge that absorbs moisture.

If you can't believe that the pan is soaked through with water, then pour it and leave it to stand. After a couple of days, take the pan out of the case and look at the bottom of the pan and the metal case. I say right away, there will be drops of water.

Everything stated is pure IMHO. I will read any comments on this topic without offense.

girls, in order not to pour / pour all kinds of detergents, just pour in water to soak with regular baking soda. At least you will be sure that no surfactants and any nasty things are absorbed into the ceramics. And almost everything will be washed with soda, including milk. It is tested on my own experience.

Probably intuition works well
So I do, I do not soak for a long time just with hot tap water, and then it is perfectly wiped off with a soft "iron" sponge, sometimes with soda, sometimes without

And I found this on the internet.
Slow cooker Morphy Richards 48730 (English brand, production - Southeast Asia). Power - 350 W. She also has a metal case. The volume of a ceramic pot (removable, dishwasher safe) is 6.5 liters. The lid, like the previous model, is transparent, made of high-strength glass. Control - electronic, there is a backlit display. There are several cooking modes (low intensity, medium, high intensity), food can be cooked (in fact, stewed) at temperatures from 76 ° C to 140 ° C. The maximum cooking time is 12 hours. There is a "Keep warm" function. The slow cooker (the manufacturer on the official website calls it "samovar") Morphy Richards 48730 has cool handles. I wonder where these are on sale?

[nvk]

nvk, just written about my model. Only my 48732 is called. And it doesn't say how they differ? But, like my power is 330 watts. Maybe that's the difference? Now I'm going to look at the nameplate, I want to clarify the power.

Ahhh, here I am inconsiderate! Mine has mechanical control, and that one has electronics.

No, everything that was written there was copied here. The only thing there was still the price indicated in the region of 2500 rubles. But I thought that the price might not be correct, and since it was just a review, I didn't move it here.I just wondered if anyone has one and how is it in use? How different is it from this Seabreeze SB-431 (430)?
I know that you cannot put links, but I will put it, and then I will remove it.
Here is this review.
🔗

The nameplate said that in 48732 the power is 303-300 W. This means the difference between the models in maximum power (if not a typo on the website about 350 W) and electronics / mechanics.

Where I can ask about slow cookers, there is only mechanics. Just asked today.

And how much is 2500 rubles?

You can put inactive links.

[nvk]

nvk, very similar MVs took Hairpin and Alexandra, only like 3.5 liters. And I remember something that in fact it turned out that there is only one regime - HI, it seems. You can look at the search engine, or knock on the girls.

[nvk]

nvk, very similar MVs took Hairpin and Alexandra, only like 3.5 liters. And I remember something that in fact it turned out that there is only one regime - HI, it seems. You can look at the search engine, or knock on the girls.

So I would like to understand the modes of all slow cookers. That would be here to make a list, for example, x-so many programs and power, so many programs and power. And then you start looking in a search engine, on the store's website they write the bottom, and then the girls are different. I would like to hear the details of the programs from those who already have some kind of slow cookers.

[Hairpins]

Found that u Hairpins model 48710. But the details of the work should be clarified with her, otherwise I, quite, could be mistaken about the modes.

nvk, well, I have not seen more than three modes in slow cookers (high, medium, low). And more often there are two of them (high, low). It can be low, high and heated, like in Kenwood.

[Lyi]

Lyi, yes, there is such a troublesome moment after heating the milk. I first soak the saucepan, and then peel off the crust with a metal Amway washcloth. She (this sponge) rules in all respects.

And who is this Amway? Can I have a photo or a reference, where can I buy it?
QWEEN, I agree on the detergents and stop soaking in them. I will use baking soda, thanks to Rina.
Rusyi, and what kind of iron sponge with a soft pad, the same photo, plizz.
After all my manipulations for 2 days, I still have such a saucepan.
🔗

[Lyi]

Lyi, wow what traces remain.
These are the sponges I buy - DISH DROPS ™ SCRUB BUDS ™ Metal sponges.

According to the link, the very first ones - 🔗 .
These products are purchased from distributors.

After preparing baked milk, I first soak the pan, and then clean it with this washcloth. And all the milk scale is washed off at once.

About mv pans. I read on various forums and, in particular, from E. Stoyanova that all slow cookers suffer from this to a greater or lesser extent. Blacks turn white, and whites can be covered with a gray mesh. But this is their trick ...: pardon: it is even believed that it should be so, like, it should be so ... And this attitude is usually among inveterate users (especially America and Israel) - you will enjoy it to the fullest year 2- 3 and buy a new one from them there inexpensively at all.

moreover, who had an MV and who found a common with her. language, so it's hard without it.

[Qween]

Qween, could not find a photo of these sponges anywhere. I found something like that. Isn't that they?
🔗

IRR, I also have a flickering thought, maybe it should be so. I am not a fan of cleanliness, at least in the bread maker I suffer drips from previously burnt flour (liquid).
Maybe you shouldn't try to scratch off this saucepan, because wipe the gloss for a short time and completely. Moreover, the saucepan was diligently washed for 2 days with all sponges, except for metal ones, which means it is clean.
What's the general opinion?

[Lyi]

Lyi, I already wrote earlier that cracks-cobwebs appeared in the pan of my MV and scale from the "interlayer" water is not removed (I did not strive). Repeatedly read about the ugly coating of the MB casserole during operation. Yes, and I have an example - old portioned pots.
IRR I consider it the most important specialist in various multicooker-pressure cooker-slow cooker-and finally on electric pans, so I safely rely on her opinion, and never double-check her opinion with Google.
The loofahs in the photo are similar, but they are not specifically Amway ones. I didn’t use Amway's better! We can say that they have no equal, although I am not a fan of "network marketing". Amway similar to those that are sold everywhere, such from springs (like TM "Freken Bock). If you want to purchase, then contact distributors - here, for example, the Russian site 🔗 .

But, in addition to the above, I want to say that it would have bothered me if the milk scale had not been removed.

[Lyi]

Lyi,
my sponge is the most common, like this, it looks like your first one in the picture



Sold in all households. shops and supermarkets, there are even several of them in the package, there are multi-colored, made of some kind of soft wire.
And my saucepan is white, soon Kenwood is 2 years old, indeed there are traces of the previous use of spoons-spatulas, but it is from BROKEN milk that it is washed well after soaking. Sometimes you don't even need baking soda.

Oh, and here is the first google picture about the Amway sponge:

But, in addition to the above, I want to say that it would have bothered me if the milk scale had not been removed.

I rub boldly with Amveevskims, like those in Anya's photo. We have bad water in Crimea, hard, there are still whitish drips from it.

Anya! and sometimes I don’t trust myself, then I google ... and it’s easier for me to communicate with ceramics, I have 20 years of ceramic experience. And if we are to be completely frank, then black ceramics annoys me more than white ones (I mean by food indications). Therefore, if you have a choice, then it is better to stay on white. But, for some reason I come across completely black, and only the Kenwoods are dear white

Oh, girls, I made barley cream soup! It is something! Respect and respect to the author! True, I made small adjustments. I did not add water 0.5 l. After I ground the barley, poured it back into the MV and poured it for another 1.5 hours at no low mode, then the heating turned on in full, probably it was night and I was sleeping, and in the morning -

[Qween, Russia, IRR]

Qween, Russia, IRR thanks for your advice.
Today I took this washcloth and all traces were erased. So I will work with this washcloth until I buy Amveevskaya.

Does little Breeze have a black or white pot?

Small black bird.

Only, girls, keep in mind that the little sibrize has a drawback that can be serious - it has only three legs, so it may not always be stable. You should pay attention to this if your MVD is a "matchmaker moving", like mine, and it happens on a freestanding table. If the saucepan is placed close to the wall, then you can ignore the legs.

[tigra-tigrica]

tigra-tigrica,
as far as I know, only my Kenwood CP 706 (4.5 l) has white pots, this is their type of exclusive and also in electronic 707

I'm aware of Kenwood. What, the manufacturer decided to save on the leg? I also have a matchmaker. And, although I have not figured out the big one, I want a small one. But the porridge, indeed, turns out to be tasty, although it is not a fan of them. How difficult it is to adapt to MDA after St.

so-so-so, wait a minute ... what's the problem with black ceramics? Yanaoboot all white is sent to ignore, because according to my (unverified) information, it is better not to keep what is used for bleaching ceramics close to food ...

So it seems that white clay exists in nature.

[tigra-tigrica]

tigra-tigrica,
as far as I know, only my Kenwood CP 706 (4.5 l) has white pots, this is their type of exclusive and also in electronic 707

many even large MVs have a white bowl.

this is a search on a german amazon

If you order from behind a hillock, then the MDV will turn out to be almost golden (due to the mass of the bowl). But we have MDVs at auctions - there are people who make money by bringing stock equipment to us (over the past two years I have seen such MDVs with white bowls at least four times). Or there are occasions (what if a husband, or dad, or an uncle, or a brother, well, someone will go beyond the cordon for a week or two, and even light?)

[Irene]

Oh, girls, I made barley cream soup! It is something!

Irene, eat to your health!
We also love very much.

Today I took this washcloth and all traces were erased. So I will work with this washcloth until I buy Amveevskaya.

Lyi, as you get an Amway, you will generally be shocked by how the metal sponge tears everything off so elegantly, and at the same time is very soft, not prickly. Its service life is incredibly high in comparison with others. I say this very confidently, because I have tried an incredible amount of metal sponges.

Virgo, my illness continues (slow cooker), and here's the question, tell me. I look in the Internet shops Sibriz-431, and 430. The difference in power (as stated -350 and 200, respectively) and in volumes (6 and 3 liters).What else is the difference?
What is the minus of the lower power (I'm just too much for 6 liters), does it heat worse or something else?

well, to heat up 3.5, you need less electricity than 6.5. Therefore, the power is lower. And the difference can be three legs (whether the big one has four legs, you need to ask the Supercoe).

[inusya]

inusya , the smaller the pot capacity, the less power. Polotoshek generally have 150 power like. If you put 350 power in a small one, it will be like hot in an oven, and a large capacity of 6 liters 150 W will not heat enough.

PS: Already Rina answered, well, let my answer be.
