Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

I am a consonant, if you know exactly the tempera. programs for slow cookers.

buy thermometer - measure

And then it was already written - a Russian stove is a dry heat (oven), and a slow cooker is more just a slow boil.

dry wet does not matter if the product is covered

I don’t remember in which country, like somewhere in Asia, they showed on TV .. they have their own geyser in each courtyard .. in short, a hole from the depths of the earth with the release of hot steam .. and so their whole kitchen is built on steam .. and pots with the brew are placed directly on this geyser hole .. they said the whole world recognized that they have the healthiest food

you are not alone .. after the first use and in * israeli * handles fall off when my aunt handed over in the store with such a marriage.

I will hardly go to hand over ... they will force me to prove that I am not a camel and did not beat off a pen myself. It's a pity for time and nerves, it's better to earn three more devices during this time

Zest, as I understand you ..
In Israel, there are no such problems, I bought a set of pots, the bottom fell off at the first cooking .. I went and passed it without any problems.

[maybe she's a good thing for her class]

I want to add so as not to get a very bad impression

maybe she's a good thing for her class,

BUT our advertisers are pushing "anyhow to shove", and we are simply confused.

I repeat - this slow cooker but everywhere they write multicooker
If I need a long coat, for example, why do I slip a short jacket ??? and they say nothing too much - this is what you need (((

Well, I tried to calculate the time during which 3 kilograms of water will boil. Nothing succeeded. Four hours have passed, I was not going to boil, but I already wanted to sleep ... Here I am such a thrower ...

And I measured the temperature of the gravy on the high mode when I stewed meat with mushrooms and tomatoes. After 4 hours of cooking, it was 92 degrees. I noticed a quiet gurgle before turning off after 12 hours.

My pig ribs with potatoes after 6 hours (modeless morphies) showed 79 degrees.

Kenwood 707 girls!
Please tell me if there is a timer in it - delay mode or not. Different sources say differently.

twisted for a long time, read the instructions, studied the buttons - did not find it in 707

they say for 706 because there mechanical control you can buy a separate programmable timer

Owners of CF! Question-questions!. So far, I'm only at the stage - * I want to buy *, but somewhere a little lively one sitting in the brain says - * or maybe not? *. So the question is - has anyone made yogurt in it? As I imagine, pour milk with sourdough into a smaller container and put it in the MV with water, well, like a steam bath on a small mode to ferment. In general, can anyone do this or can experiment and give their opinion. The fact that cooking in it is understandable, but can it replace the yogurt maker? And yet, I really confess I did not read the whole Temko, but maybe someone did porridge for the night and write their opinion. I do not have the opportunity to buy a cartoon here, but as I understood by functionality they are the same, only a slow cooker without programs, just don't bite me for not finishing

I don't have the opportunity to buy a cartoon here, but as I understood in terms of functionality, they are the same, only a slow cooker without programs,

NO. A slow cooker and a slow cooker are completely different in functionality. The slow cooker simply simmers food, cooks them for a long time at a low temperature. The multicooker has ready-made cooking programs, and even in the STEWING mode, which is closest to the slow cooker, the cooking temperature is higher.

I am in Lithuania, I often visit Germany, but not where in the vastness of the European Union, I have not met Multya, I tried to order an analogue of Vey through Germany (only it is more of a multifunctional pressure cooker, similar to Unit or Hoter), I transferred the money, wrote, the order was accepted and I wait a month, I call, they tell me that there is no warehouse, I have to wait an indefinite time, in short they returned the money and I hid my Khochun. And there was a period 2 years ago of frequent trips to England, and there were many and varied slow cookers there, I went and did not understand why they were and what they were eating with. By the way, my HP was first bought in England. And now there is a friend in England and I want to puzzle him, moreover, I will even let anyone see her.

tatalija, in England there are good rice cookers \ what the Russians called cartoons \.
Look for Sanyo or Morphy richards

here in England

do you want this? cheap and cheerful, cooking will be the same as with electronics \ it does not need electronics at all \

and for the saved money, buy another rice cooker in england

aa ... no, it’s 3.5L and you wanted 6L

[Gypsy]

Gypsy, thanks for the photo, now I can see for myself that relying on "look in the package" is not necessary, you really need to pour it next. And my husband, like that Tatar, "what to run there, what here ..." - he is almost omnivorous, what I put on a plate, he will eat.

Rina72 always please

tatalija maybe you'd better look for such a brazier in england 🔗
she and how the slow cooker works .. would kill a lot of birds with one stone

slow cooker £ 19.99

[Admins sorry for digressing]

Thank you all for answering my questions.
I ordered myself as shown on the link MB for 35 pounds,
The gypsy that you showed the photo, I looked at her too, but stopped at this one. I simply could not understand what the trick of slow cooking was. In the beginning, it seems to me that this Temko someone wrote about the possibility of an oven at 80 degrees, as if there is nothing to spend. So then I tried to cook and realized that the game was not worth the candle, the oven also interfered with sleep. Because then the interest disappeared. After the break, I was climbing on our website, and again I caught Khochun. You just know how it happens when you get a new toy, you play for the first time, then you start to find cons, and in the end you give up. And I love my toys and am very upset at the question asked myself - Why did you need it?
From what I didn't need, it turned out to be Nayser Dreiser (I kind of wrote it right) this is something that cuts into cubes and slices. In fact, it turned out to be not convenient to wash, food gets stuck in the grooves and the dishwasher is not an assistant here, and in order to cut it, you need to cut it into plates with handles. Admins sorry for digressing.
Why doubt? Where am I here on the site someone flashed, that it is unnecessary.
Aunt Besya, how did you do yogut in her, write.
In my family, the question of dietary nutrition arose, I bought a double boiler (very happy), but I wanted variety, so I fixed my eyes on CF. And yoghurt is one of the staple foods. I don’t want to buy a yoghurt maker, with a good kitchen there’s nowhere to put it, but I like to keep everything in sight, then it all works

What do I expect from a slow cooker?
I am attracted to the opportunity to throw and come home from work - or wake up, and you have everything ready.
Only one thing is not clear to me, if this does not need to be controlled, then how then to switch from the slow-fast mode? I somehow imagine that, having thrown all the ingredients, it will work itself in a fast mode, and then go into a weak one, and after the expiration of time, it will turn itself off.Right? If I turned it on in the morning, I won’t go home to reduce the fire and then be afraid to stay late at work.
In general, the question is for people who sleep at night and work without arriving home.
That's why I'm looking at the one with the program, or maybe everything is easier

tatalija the slow cooker itself does not switch, if you need to cook more quickly, then put it on fast mode for about 4 hours, and if for a long time, then on slow mode and most importantly, nothing will not burn, and the meat will melt in your mouth.

About the programming, this is for the Hairpin. It seems to me that it would be enough to separately buy a timer for the outlet. Slow cookers take a long time to cool .. so the timer would turn off without you .. and you came home from work and the food is still warm.
The low temperature is lower, if you will not be at home for a long time, then you will have to cook in this mode.

Only one thing is not clear to me, if this does not need to be controlled, then how then to switch from the slow-fast mode? I somehow imagine that, having thrown all the ingredients, it will work itself in a fast mode, and then go into a weak one, and after the expiration of time, it will turn itself off. Right?

There is a MV without mode switches, but only with a timer for which the cooking time is set. But I don’t know how it relates the set time and the heating mode. Apparently, at first, the maximum turns on and gradually switches to a lower heating T, over time. In any case, I put the meat and potatoes for 4-6 hours, depending on the filling of the pan. And jellied meat with poured water to the eyeballs for 10 hours. In both cases, the initial heating occurs quickly, obviously high.

[Lika and tatalija,]

Girls, Lika and tatalija, you are writing about mechanical, simple slow cookers?

Girls, Lika and tatalija, you are writing about mechanical, simple slow cookers?

And what else are there? I only know two kinds:
where, modes are set / switched manually
where, exhibited only time for preparing

[themselves]

And the Kenwoods? Aren't they elktoron-grammable e? In terms of themselves do not switch to heating?

And what worries me a little about mechanical, different housewives somehow boil in different ways, for one after 5 hours, for another after 10, although the regime seems to be calculated as the same, Hairpin, as a heating engineer by education, calculates for itself. And what should we, not heating engineers, do? There is only one way out - to buy electronics.

There is only one way out - to buy electronics.

I disagree with two options!

Remember how Hairpin did not find modes in her MV. Remember, it's better easier with two modes - more variations

[Gypsy]

GypsyI don't argue with good teachers, I agree with them

Remember how Hairpin did not find modes in her MV.

Hairpin and I have the same MV, they go into heating on their own.

[What exactly are we talking about]

What exactly are we talking about? Hairpin has 2 of them.

Remember, it's better easier with two modes - more variations

So I think Kenwood has just as many. And the biggest + of your slow cooker is its price and your ability, I would say, your professional scent to look for them. For what 100 times

[What exactly are we talking about]

What exactly are we talking about? Hairpin has 2 of them.

The first was with electronics. the second she bought a simple one with a switch.

Hairpin and I have the same MV, they go into heating on their own.

but the mode is one and in simple mechanical two - I want to cook faster. I want it slower. I have never used the heating, it seems so far unnecessarily .. but let it be.

So.I went to a special topic on Kenwoods, I read the lope of the regimes there. Our choice is not so hot. From mechanical only Comfort 6.5 - which is a lot. Kenwood is just right.

And it is clear, it is clear that the more buttons, the more modes, the more modes, the better (the better, the more expensive. But there are exceptions).

The first was with electronics. the second she bought a simple one with a switch.

Well, her speed

but the mode is one and in simple mechanical two - I want to cook faster. I want it slower.

So he is not alone, he somehow depends on time.

IRR Kenwoods only with a round saucepan of 4.5 liters with electronics, and with a semicircular saucepan for 6.5 and 3.5 liters, mechanical there are 2 modes fast, slow + heating. Personally, I specifically chose with the mechanics, the fewer bells and whistles the better it works.

Shpilka has the first such for 6.5 liters


vascheto so that there are fewer misunderstandings and surprises, it is better to read the instructions ALL before buying

So he is not alone, he somehow depends on time.

just HOW is the question
in mechanical everything is simple .. no need to break your head and guess

just HOW is the question

Yeah, question. But that I found out for sure. At any set time, the primary heating is in strong mode.
I don’t bother about the rest, as long as it is on high, conditionally high, how long it is on low. The end result is always pleasing and requires no presence. That's all I need of her - I don't like hanging around in the kitchen.

[kitchen mechanic devices,]

Personally, I specifically chose with the mechanics, the fewer bells and whistles the better it works.

And in my simplicity I thought that only thanks to electronics, I did not stand by the river upside down, lifting my hem and not wringing out the laundry with my hands. And if you, Tanechka, meant kitchen mechanic devices, sometimes the handles from the constant on-off remain in the handles. And then screwdrivers come into play Slow Cooker Girls! someone will answer clearly - in a slow cooker should it boil? should there be gurgles? AND then languor? And how does it transfer to this longing - by itself or by switching it manually, if it is a mechanic?

In mine, a slight gurgling appears not earlier than 4-6 hours in high mode (depending on what is in the MV) and such gurgling persists until the end if you do not manually switch to low mode. But I have a mechanic, maybe someone has an automatic transmission, and after a given time, it goes to a lower temperature or to heating mode

I have the same thing .. but if I pour boiling water, then an hour may be enough for a gurgle

[Slow Cooker Girls!]

Well, jellied meat is clear there the task is to boil the meat to smithereens, but how will the dishes for dinner behave?

I didn't put it for dinner for more than 6 hours, but then it went into heating everything seemed to be fine. The longest on heating was waiting for us 2.5-3 hours. The meat is soft, but does not break down into fibers and the potatoes are normal in pieces, as they were originally.

Slow Cooker Girls! someone will answer clearly - in a slow cooker should it boil? should there be gurgles? AND then languor? And how does it transfer to this longing - by itself or by manual switching, if it is a mechanic?

A bun, like boiling in an ordinary saucepan, will not be very active, but they will be.
In the MV with "mechanics" we switch the mode from to low with the knobs.
For a CF with an "automatic" it is on its own, but after how many hours it is not known, it goes into heating by itself.

"Automatic" for 6.5 liters after 6 hours (set cooking time) of cooking meat and potatoes gave 79 degrees. I measured meat with a probe T. This is an excellent temperature for the meat, which indicates its complete readiness. The gravy gurgled languidly.

I have never had an IRR so that the shift knobs remain in my hands, but there are very often problems with electronics, I just expressed my opinion, if you did not like it, I will not write again.

[electric pump]

Well, let's just say, if there is no electricity, then there is already the same mechanical or electronic MV you have ... you will not use it in the same way ... but in general you do not need to be poor if there is gas in the house, you can all ... here I am to for example, I live in a high-rise building .. so if we turn off the light, then I not only remain without light, but also without the ability to cook (electric stove), but this is not the worst thing in the house, the water automatically disappears because it is supplied electric pump ... So for me and in truth even light a fire. In the worst case, you will go to bed without light, and I am hungry without washing and even with a full bladder

On the contrary, I think the more buttons the better ... IMHO

[Leakey]

Here I am!!! How much have you chatted here ...

1. Position Leakey I do not support the fact that the slow cooker itself switches to Low mode. This would be possible if there was a temperature sensor, controller and ... the ability to turn off part of the ten. In model 48730 (Lika, Shurshun and Alexandra) there is an electronic display and a timer (just a timer, not a start delay). So she always fucks at the same power.
2. There should be buns. Alexandra right, after all disinfection. That is, food must be cooked before boiling. But how long it takes before boiling is another question. But it should boil.
3. I have both MRs. There are no Kenwoods. But those white Kenwoods that I spun in the Mediamarket can have a maximum start delay. No more. They themselves cannot carry out any independent switching.

1. To switch to low, only the T sensor is not enough, this can also happen according to the set cooking time. Guards T simply correspond to certain time intervals.
For example: 4-6 hours high, 6-9 middle, 9-12 low. At any interval, intensive heating takes place, and then switches to a lower T.

2. The T sensor is not big enough to be noticeable. Easy to install under the bottom, between the inner and outer skin.

3 To reduce T, it is not necessary to disconnect part tenov, there is generally one annular in the side wall. And nothing prevents him from switching on and off as in HP by the same sensor T.
Turn over a large pan, what kind of schematic is there with under the wire rack?
Obviously not a timer
Therefore, it is not necessary to state so unequivocally about the only one mode. In the absence of at least a T sensor, and as a result of the constant work of the ten on heating, the MV will turn a chicken into a coal in 6 hours.
