Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Yes, yes, I'm talking about technoopt. In the morning I gathered my courage and wanted to order for 6.5 liters. They said no already. Maybe they are being taken at such a speed? I had to order in komora-kiev for 30 more expensive.
Incidentally, I am already preparing to come up with a dish that will most likely want to test the unit. Taking into account the fact that for me the holiday will be at home, and without a tree, and without a TV, .. in short, there will be something to do on New Year's Eve ...

And I will wait for the dispatch of the 4th from TECHNOOPT! I'll stretch the presents until Christmas, and then suddenly I'll find something for the Old New Year! 🔗

And how is New Year's without a Christmas tree and TV? As Pechkin said? The main thing on the New Year's table is the TV. We, too, are together with my husband, and therefore I even made a table to be placed next to a huge TV and a sofa! 🔗

Girls, yesterday I put cereal and pumpkin porridge for the morning, on the "Heating" mode. "Heating" is very interesting to me, as it is not in my bandura, and instead of it the "Medium" mode is set. The porridge turned out to be very steamed, such a ghee mashed potatoes.

I will put it as a separate topic so that you can compare. Since I put in very little cereal, but now there is a lot of it. I also want to cook in a different way.

oh, shoot me I don’t know ... to the bottom of the cereal it is 1, 5-2 centimeters, and there was enough water for the most ... Well, the truth is still the Perjarka took the volume, but to the bottom my trough narrows ... In general, no less than 1 to 5 I think, but I can’t vouch for her ... here I think it’s better to go too far with water - the cereal takes a lot in itself, and I have "fried" around the edges

I boiled the beans 2 days ago, poured water about 3 fingers higher, so almost the water remained, although the beans turned out to be just super-duper. It was a pity for me to pour out the water, I made a soup on it with the leftover beans (which I had not caught), and made a salad with mushrooms from the beans. Yesterday I ran to the Uzbeks, from whom I buy all the dried apricots, bought more beans, this is how it turns out ...

And yesterday I "at night" put on a low mode salmon broth + carrot + onion + ginger root + tarragon. Today I have such a noble broth, on the stove such a fragrant, tasty and tender has never happened

Have eaten porridge already.

Girls, I report, the "Heating" mode is an independent full-fledged mode. It cooks gorgeous, at temperatures below Low, and is ideal for overnight, long cooking.

The battery in the fotik has run out. But, I managed to click once, now I will give a recipe.

and yesterday I bought legumes, since they were all sorts of them here)))
And about the ox - my main problem ... As I understand it, all the prophecies must be revised, because here, unlike the stove, it practically does not evaporate, and the quantity depends only on how much the product absorbs. When I stewed the beans, I also had water left, but very little, and the beans were - you will download. In general, everything will have to be empirically, I feel ... Yes, let's see what our senior friend Qween is experimenting with)))

Damn, that's who I miss ... And what should I look for another baby now?))))
In my code, instead of heating the AUTO ... And HAY, I honestly do not understand why I need a DVA ...

[Venetian]

Here is my porridge .

Venetian, now I see that there is a big difference in the modes and size of the cauldron. Different dishes turn out.

Auto is also a separate mode, which brings the High to the desired temperature, and then I don't know, most likely it will be Low or, less possibly, Heating.

I consider High to be a very important, necessary regime.

In short, I'm rediscovering slow cooking. The porridge turned out to be incredibly tasty!

By the way, in the instructions for the MB they write that heating does not cook, but you need to transfer to it after the dish is cooked.

yeah, about the car in my instructions it says so, and yes, it keeps it on LOU and not on heating ... And hi, I still have never turned it on - I drive it only at night to save money, and I have a night for milk porridge by the morning it is long, it even has time to cool down if after a timer ... Oh, there is no happiness in life ... it turns out that I needed exactly what I don't have ... And what they write about on heating they don't cook like that on the fence also written ...

for me the night for milk porridge is long by morning, it even has time to cool down if through the timer

Yeah, and I was too much at night. I already wrote that baked milk overnight is very concentrated. If you put a whole bird or a piece of meat on Vysoky overnight, you get a taste like stew.

I was thinking about buying a timer for a slow cooker ... So then do not take it? ... Heating produces hot food, and if the timer turns off at night, then it will definitely cool down. Probably I won't buy a timer ...

by the way, I’m beginning to understand why there are no MdVs in Italy as a class ... Their languor is not used at all, cereals are cooked little and a well-cooked dish of cereals is risotto, which has the consistency of viscous porridge, but at the same time rice is noticeably undercooked to our taste, " al dente "... And my husband seems to be my exhausted to the state of" why a man's teeth "does not appreciate porridge ...

I was thinking about buying a timer for a slow cooker ... So then do not take it? ... Heating produces hot food, and if the timer turns off at night, then it will definitely cool down. I probably won't buy a timer ...

what size? My baby, maybe if the night is short and the DVA is bigger then it won't get cold? but in general it looks like that - for morning cereals, the timer personally does not really save me ... I would save if instead of a sharp turn off I gave a delay to turn on ... By the way, I need to ask my husband, maybe this is possible)))

what size?

Slow Cooker Size? If slow cookers, then I have two. One is 6.5, and the second is 3.5.

The fact is that I wanted a timer, before I cooked the porridge on the heat (at 6.5 it is not).
And you also said that although the timer turns off, the food cools down until morning. In general, I am still thinking about purchasing a timer.

Yes, you don't need it if there is heating, there is nothing to think about ... Although wait, I heard that in stores for aquarists there are timers that not only turn off but also turn on ... but I already found heated babies ... Maybe I instead of them, look for such a timer ... But by the way, it won't create heating for me ... so, one thing is clear - you have to think)))

That oto, and I think like you.

Different slow cookers, different volumes and modes - correspondingly different actions need to be applied for the desired result. So far, I see that I don't want to worry about the timer, although the aquarists have already passed the places where there are timers.

And the baby with heating would be cool!

And the baby with heating would be cool!

and there are! round-white-with flowers !!! and steel-black-oval like mine ... It's not clear how I managed to find it without heating, damn it! Now we need to somehow explain to my husband why barely having bought one we will buy another and once again I will arc ...))))

I would take a white one with flowers.

And I have a kitchen - steel with cherry, m not a flower, not quite ... And then there are red ones for 5, 5)))

What an antler! And I don't bother anymore, I have a dairy one with blue-blue, it was photographed in some magazine. I used to pick colors, but right now my devices are everywhere. A special "beauty" - MV Kevud in a steel pan

Yes, I, too, the last thing to look at is the color. But if there is a choice, why not take it into account?

While there is such a pre-New Year's fever in the "model" line of DVA, I will ask here, it seems to the topic of recipes, everyone will catch up when they buy and get ready.
In general, the snow maiden girls and others like them, who cooked the POTATO with or without meat, tell me, it is there, normally, it is cooked until soft and in what mode it is better to do it (with pork ribs), just once the experience was unsuccessful and with haven't tried it since

[rusja]

rusja, with potatoes the moment is complicated ... There is a lot of envy on the variety. I always take crumbly.
Even considering that the variety will be crumbly, the potatoes themselves retain their shape when cooked. And we love that it is already boiled in gravy, but I never got this in a slow cooker. The maximum is when everything is ready, with stirring, it begins to crumble.

Also, potatoes do not like to boil in sour cream or tomato sauce. Some kind of glass turns out.

Stew deliciously young, small, whole potatoes in butter. At the end, salt, garlic, dill, sour cream.

If you cook with meat, then put it on top of the meat, not down.

The fact is that I wanted a timer, before I cooked the porridge on the heat (at 6.5 it is not).
And you also said that although the timer turns off, the food cools down until morning. In general, I am still thinking about purchasing a timer.

and you use the timer not to turn off, but to turn on. That is, set the MVA to the desired mode, and set the timer so that it starts the saucepan in the middle of the night. By morning you will have the hot dish you need. Or am I not about that?

That kind of about that. Only I noticed that if the milk stands with something and then heats up slowly, then this milk boils. And in the morning I need porridge on milk.

In short, in doubts I ...

That kind of about that. Only I noticed that if the milk stands with something and then heats up slowly, then this milk boils. And in the morning I need porridge on milk.

and the multicooker option is to put frozen milk and cereals so that the milk thaws slowly?

That seems to be an option too ... In general, I'm thinking about a timer again, we have a mechanical 60 hryvnia on sale. Looks like you need to buy and experience. And then how do I know that I like it.

Is 60 UAH normal for a mechanical timer?

Oh, I remembered what I doubt about the delay in cooking!

I noticed that if you pour everything (cold) and don't cook right away, then condensation forms on the outside of the ceramics, and then a strong crackling sound is heard when heated.It was after such a moment that I saw cobweb cracks on the enamel of the cauldron.

I also think about the timer, because on heating porridge with milk for the night turns out to be melted and cooked kutya not long ago (I just caught my eye and decided to cook it), so it completely developed such an effect on the stove I never had. And so in general, she is very happy with her MV, the thing is just super true, she still cooked few dishes in it, but the potatoes with the knuckle were such that words just do not peddle.
By the way, I saw timers on the Internet 🔗 called is available

[Irinka]

though I still had few dishes in it, but the potatoes with the knuckle were such that words simply do not peddle.

Irinka
And it is possible in more detail about the POTATO with a knuckle, PLIZZZZ
I was interested in Toko-Toko, even on this page.
Therefore, I am already asking you - how much potatoes, water (proportions) was, how was it added - immediately with meat or later? Is it crumbly as a result?

Virgo, explain stupid, in this 6-liter CBreeze (which is coming to me), it was written in the har-ke that there are 2 modes.
As I understand from what you wrote, these are Low modes (i.e. slow or long), and second strongest HIGH, (that is, faster).
Is that all? So? And there are also MDVs with Heating mode? Looked at Queen's photo (the one with the crumpled side) and realized that there is Warm in it? I just think if I’m smaller later (the goat went to the garden ...), then you need to know what other bells and whistles they have, so as not to repeat ...
By the way, after three days of sitting at the Nbuk with these orders, I was so carried away that when yesterday I was going to declare my order to my husband (was-not-was), I opened my mouth, and he told me:
- Well, have you bought your debt card? ...
- Damn, - I say, - how did you know?
And he told me: - Did you see yourself in the mirror? Half a day, a bunch of links are open, you are on the phone with Internet shops, everywhere pieces of paper with models of your pots are scattered, down would have guessed ...... .......
....... How, but I thought there would be a soup?

Inusya, they don't count heating as a regime, that's why they write that there are two regimes. Instead of the third position, they put either heating, or auto, or average. At Seabreeze, I see that there is heating in the third position.

[Venetian]

And I!!!! I want a baby !!!! Venetian , can you hand over the attendance passwords?

easy if you are satisfied with the French ebay (and there quite often delivery only to France).
and I also found it in German. Stopudovo is available in English. Well, give links?

Inusya. the third mode is automatic. We don't have heating.

That seems to be an option too ... In general, I'm thinking about a timer again, we have a mechanical 60 UAH on sale. Looks like you need to buy and experience. And then how do I know that I like it.

Is 60 UAH normal for a mechanical timer?

I just consulted my husband, he says that the timer that I have can be set up so that it turns on and not off (and it is for the outlet, you turn it on through it and it controls the current supply). It remains for the current to decide whether I will survive the absence of the heating mode in the "cashier" baby ...

Tax, understandable!

Thank you, colleague, what does he do with this car? Does it warm too?

[inusya]

Tax, understandable!

inusya , when I looked closely at the sybriz, I looked out so that the photo could show which modes. And in the photo it was clearly visible that Varm, and tigra-tigrica says that auto ... Auto is first high and then low.

But, I really looked 3.5. Although, I doubt that 3.5 and 6.5 are different modes.
Maybe those sellers squeezed a photo of another slow cooker, and wrote that it was a sybriz.

[Venetian]

Well, give links?

Venetian For anything, so that only delivery to Russia (payment is all the same through the paper).I looked in English, there are 1.5 liters, but they are not being taken to Russia.

As I understand from what you wrote, these are Low modes (i.e. slow or long), and second strongest HIGH, (that is, faster).

my 4 switch positions, high, low, auto and - - off))) as if I can’t rip it out of the socket))) Auto according to the instructions is first high and then goes to low, it is written, ideal for night and long brews. and in those that now I find there is no car, but there is heating ... I got lost ...

now I will check what the French have, but I remember exactly what the Germans drove ... In German, you need to look for a crock pot, if you can't see it yourself, there are not many of them. Be careful - it is often not the slow cookers themselves that are sold, but the recipe books for them.

Well, I knew it ... the French deliver only this all over the world

🔗

but it's not quite that ... or rather, not at all ... she has three trays made of stainless steel

Well, I have a big one. I need a small 1.5 liter.

and my Englishwoman finally has a fork with three teeth! and the third is grounding ... they are immediately sold with a peekhodnik ...

[Gabi,]

and my Englishwoman finally has a fork with three teeth! and the third is grounding ... they are immediately sold with a peekhodnik ...

Edik had babies like that too. I got it with an adapter, but on Gabi, like, saved ...

Girls, auto is a matter. Have Hairpins, like, in general, one mode ... Hi ... it seems ... or maybe she has heating, varm, I don't remember the subtleties, to be honest ...

"Girls, auto is a mess."
but I finally don’t understand why it is needed if everything dries up and burns in my night and at low. Maybe I just don't know and I need a car and not a heating?

Yeah, but we have heating, because it is not in our saucepans.

I think reheating is good in high MV or for liquid dishes.

[Gabi,]

Edik had babies like that too. I got it with an adapter, but on Gabi, like, saved ...

Irr, are you really mistaken, otherwise my inferiority complex was developing, that you remember about EVERYONE, I got it with the adapter, it seems Edik saved it in Rousse, since she took the last one out of five, if I don't seem to confuse.

[tigra-tigrica]

tigra-tigrica, It seems too early to cook chicken for the New Year. Maybe tomorrow is better?

I love chicken too. On the grill in a slow cooker, it comes out very good. That and not only in a slow cooker, but in general, any is always delicious.

Ira is not here yet, but I hope she will not be offended if I copy part of her post about CF.

here are my 2 ... gee-gee ... (sadomaso me)

I love chicken too. On the grill in a slow cooker, it comes out very good.

And sho for the GRILLE?
I just put it in the bowl of the slow cooker, without any tools and is normal,
only I drain the excess liquid from it, periodically. Otherwise, it turns out stewed, not baked. Moreover, it is baked quickly as for MDV, chacha 2-2.5 and ready.
But I do not care, it does not turn out as beautifully baked as from the oven, can smear with paprika for color
