Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Girls That gave disputes, and she herself in the bushes.
But that's all, for a slow cooker who is still waiting and not very familiar with it, answer for for a particularly * gifted * one.
I threw everything on porridge in the evening, put it on for the night (on what mode?)? And even if the saucepan is 5-6 liters, you don't put so much porridge. Step back a little on this question, I understand that everything is random, but why reinvent the wheel. The one that I expect, I think, will have only such a bonus as a delayed start, and the buttons are electronics, and I must think so myself, to set the strong-medium-weak dezhim.
And to the question of dinner, in the morning I will put everything on a roast or a shurpa, no matter which mode is better to set it on? So as not to switch it over and at the same time will not remain cheese.
I just ask you to be patient with my answers, I just want to do it before she arrives.
And then I first turn it on, and then read the instructions, and I really don't want to make friends with the new assistant at the first meeting.

And I just think that the mechanics (switch) may well do the job. That is, I can set an external timer that will turn on and off the equipment (I already looked after one). It wouldn't work with electronics.
Each option has its pros and cons. IRR, you won't trade your mechanical switching rice cooker for anything?

Of course, I won't, namesake! What a question? We have already become so close to our saucepans that the Siamese twins: D Another question is that when I bought it, there was no choice. So I have with buttons.

And why should there be an external timer on the pot with electronics? I assume its presence initially. Inside.

I think so much depends on what kind of honey. you buy the cooking.

this is not a double boiler

small doses can be prepared in pots or pouches.

Lika!
1. As for the sensor and controller, I thought more about the price. The cheapest temperature sensor in heating technology is $ 50. And I bought MP48730 for 2,000 rubles ...
2. I won't go for a large slow cooker. I took it sooo far.
3. If the saucepan itself switched from High to Low mode, then after the appearance of bubbles, they would disappear. And with mine, if they appeared, they did not disappear.
4. And it switches to a lower temperature after a set period of time to heating mode.
5. The fact that it is not necessary to turn off some of the heating elements, but you can turn it on / off, I did not think.
6. But I do not assert all this, I just write, as I think myself ...

And why should there be an external timer on the pot with electronics? I assume its presence initially. Inside.

And I'm talking about scho?
But, say, turning on a saucepan with electronics at the right time may not work if it does not have a delayed start (this is not only about slow cookers, although they do not need a delayed start by and large), they are most often simply ready for work.And mechanics - if you have already set the desired position with the handle, and then plugged it into the network (including the timer), then the saucepan will start working.
Namesake, I am speaking empirically, theoretically, and so on ... ski ...
My father-in-law is already looking for an automatic relay or something like that to his mechanical rice cooker ...

[Rina]

Rina, dotsya, do not soar me brains! Why put another mechanism between yourself and the casserole, which may or may not work. I had such a huge bulldozer, 1.5 kg, the timer was also called and was released in Soviet times. The bastard worked, every other time. ; DTezka, stop flying in empyrean, come down to us, sinners, to the ground!

we have had mechanical of this type for a long time



always weigh 100 grams

I apologize, but he is on and on. at the same time? Well, to make it clear, he can turn on the casserole and after, say, 4 hours off. Himself? Or Toda need 2. One on VK + another on off. I brake specifically

It is one on ON and OFF. You set the current time, then you set from what to what hour / min you need the device to work. And it will be ON and OFF at the specified time.

I apologize, but he is on and on. at the same time?

Yes

here's a picture

Well, I decided not to bother with the buttons too much, I left a piece of beef yesterday for the broth to cook. First at high, but when she was going to sleep - at low.
What can I say - and experience, the son of difficult mistakes. The laws of physics cannot be bypassed, not jumped over. Scale has formed. And it settled in a dense layer that at the bottom, that on the walls of the casserole. I slowly and carefully filtered the broth through cheesecloth.
I liked the broth itself to my taste, no feeling of "old-old", as Chuchelka wrote. On the contrary, it turned out to be very saturated and of such an ... amber color.
But I made a conclusion for myself - first, you need to boil the meat in a saucepan, drain off the scale, rinse it, and then place it in a slow cooker and pour boiling water over it.

Hmmm people.
You don’t want to answer me at all, in essence, I just throw you firewood for polemics, and you throw me
In general, everything is clear, what is not clear. I can't buy a cartoon, well, we don't have them, I tried it through the Internet. to buy a store, paid for, and confirmed a month of silence, it's good that the money was returned, and without faking there was a multifunctional pressure cooker, like Hotter. And I look at the slow cooker out of love for aesthetics. Well, she looks beautiful, just kidding. I really love kitchen appliances and nothing is idle for me, but here it was your statements that the taste ... the taste ... were attracted, and in terms of internal technical indicators, I had to switch to a healthier food, so I figured out what to taste steamers add flavor to the Russian oven.
Well, you all the same explain, I am ignorant, especially those who throw in the morning and go to work, as you put it in the regime. Or porridge like in the morning? Explain just your actions, pliz

[tatalija]

tatalija

you have some overstated requirements for a not yet particularly run-in device.
With a slow cooker - there is where to send, but with this item we ourselves are still struggling.
And in order to do this, for sure and without losing, there should be a saucepan, a knife and a frying pan in the kitchen

I realized that the second courses can be safely put on the LOU and go to work that way for 12 hours :-)))) Or less, depending on what you cook. The meat is really tasty! And the chicken and who else is running there? : -0)
But I don’t know with porridge .. I got porridge with baked milk .. this is not for everybody

I already understand ethno, thanks. You just throw in what you found in the bins and on the low and went to work.I think porridge with baked milk will be interesting (I tried it a hundred years ago). Only as I understood, in order not to start a lot of porridge, it can be done either in pots or in bags. And if I only have pots of porridge there, do I need to pour some water or so into an empty saucepan and put it?

I would have fit in 6.5 and 3 pots, but I put 2 - one with oatmeal for the younger one, the other sris milk for my husband .. I put it in the water .. about half or 2/3 of the pot I poured boiling water (this is faster ) and for the whole night ..
The main thing when cooking meat and vegetables with liquid is very careful! Otherwise, it will not be the second, but the soup! :-)

[Conclusion]

And for the first time I put MP 48710 on Low for the night. I got up 12 hours later (well, sleepyhead), and the soup did not even boil. I translated it to Hai and waited another half day.
I don't think you can put meat dishes on Low. They must be boiled over (I still can't get this word right).
Conclusion... Our slow cookers can be left on High and then switched to Low. No other way. Or put it there already warmed up ...

And I was gurgling at LOU too! I put HI for an hour - it was boiling, and then for the night at LOU

And I was gurgling at LOU too!

and it's normal .. it warms up, it means it should puff, it's not heating

here's a picture

Gypsy woman, tell me, please, is this timer on or off? I saw almost the same in our store, but there were no instructions in Russian. The consultant said it was on. I understand that this timer is different from what you showed earlier.

[Bee]

Gypsy woman, tell me, please, is this timer on or off?

Bee both on and off

(sorry, I had to repeat)

Fooh, finally, for the day I have mastered all your 65 pages. Because the thought of a slow cooker visited me quite recently and, having opted for the Keenwod CP-706, decided everything about it and the device, in general, find out in this topic ... Honestly speaking, I have no regrets. You are all Moldovans and the conversation here is very interesting and informative.
But after reading about the prices, those who bought the slow cooker in Kiev, I realized that they are changing upward from day to day. I haven’t been to the Metro yet, I don’t know what is there and how much, but in the internet the cheapest price for Kenwood 706 is 615 hryvnia, 707 hryvnia model is 200 more expensive.
While I stopped at the 706 model, because the electronics do not suit me due to a power outage, which often happens in our area (a suburb of Kiev), the program will probably go wrong. And, so, if necessary, I will buy a timer.
You just explain to me, pliz, who uses this model, there is also a switch for three modes - High, Low and Warm? Or is it only in the 707 model, and in the 706 one is common? As in the models of another company, which many members of the forum have, including from Israel.
But I looked at the pictures, I haven't seen this unit live yet, then the switch is there, but what it switches to is not visible even on the official Kenwood website.

Once again I enlarged the picture on the website of the online store, there, in the 706 model, near the regulator, some arrows are depicted, and not the words for switching the speed. So I don't even know how it is with the gear change ...

two "casseroles for stew" were found at the Ukrainian auction

the first one is large by 6.5 liters, similar to a large kenwood, the seller declares the price of 280 UAH.

do you have a slow cooker Kenwood? Big or small?
Somehow I want a small, mechanical and just branded one. So that there is no mess in the application later.

what does brand mean? and what problems do you envision?

A proprietary thing, I mean a specific company - Kenwood, Philips or Bosch, even if they are made in China, but the service centers of the same companies are responsible for them. There are also a bunch of different goods of unknown companies, which are similarly made with branded ones, but they still have some troubles (they work weaker, then they break faster). It's like Chinese fakes for Berner graters and the same kind in appearance, but still worse.
And, in fact, any technique is like a lottery. And the cheap one can last its life and the expensive one can fly after the warranty line or even not live up to it.

Kenwood mechanical large (oval with a black saucepan)

Girls!
Please tell me which one is better to buy MV. Only Kenwood 706 or 707 can be purchased in online stores. Although I would have liked 6.5 liters more with a black bowl, they somehow disappeared from sale. So, which is better to take the 706 mechanics or 707 electronics?

I saw exactly what you are looking for in Megamax on Starovokzalnaya in Kiev, in early January, but I don’t know how much it costs, because then I was looking for a multicooker.

And today I bought a slow cooker for 499 rubles - Morphy richards - 48710

And today I bought a slow cooker for 499 rubles - Morphy richards - 48710

darmoed is where slow cookers are sold for that kind of money, I would buy another one.

In the Karusel hypermarket in St. Petersburg.

Very strange about 499 rubles. I bought it myself at the Carousel in early January - 1499 rubles. Maybe you lost 1000 rubles while writing?

No, nothing strange and nothing lost. Until January 31 in the Carousel - sale of all prom. goods, hence the price. People bought vacuum cleaners for 1 (one) rubles, 32-inch LCD TVs for 7000 rubles. : nyam -that's such a delicious price for a slow cooker.

We also have a Carousel in Moscow, we will have to stop by.

I don’t understand something: a carousel on the desks. Herman, well, there is no such price there, but there really is a sale, I bought it for 1499r.
Maybe it's some kind very special action (at some time and even under some conditions?), since there are vacuum cleaners for 1 ruble? Well, there is no such thing in the daily January sale of Carousel. Here the action on pans has been extended. It was announced after January 12, when people gave the remaining stamps on the last day to whole groups of grandmothers, who collected them from buyers under the slogan: you still can't collect on the last day, so give it back. They typed, apparently, well. One of our employees gave 15 marks, now she is very sorry: she would have known about the extension of the promotion, she would have received another frying pan. Why she said: Carousel, in the sense of some kind of uniquely understood marketing, is perceived by many as a "deceiving" store (for example, they like to throw goods for a promotion and other similar ones into one basket, for example, the product is the same, but people take a different flavor, at the checkout it turns out that there is no discount).

No, the promotion is not special, just a sale. Here only one thing plays a role - lucky or unlucky. MDV took yesterday in Karusel on Bukharestskaya (there were 3 more pieces left), saw 1 piece on Pulkovka.

Well intrigued by this lucky - no luck.I took out my check dated 01/07/2010, it says: MORPHY electric pan 1499 rubles. discount 292.15 rub. I was glad that, it turns out, it cost me 1200 rubles, but not 499! And in what way should it be so "lucky"?

The fact that you came, and in the store the thing you need for a third of the price, that's all luck.

But still interesting - what, discounts during the same sale change? This is the first time I've come across such a difference - is this a new marketing ploy, or what? Or what? There was an action in the same carousel on days of the week - on certain days some goods were cheaper, they gave out such coupons, it was possible to come on the right day. And what kind of voluntarism is this - "just come" and suddenly the discount turns out to be different? We will rejoice, of course, for the alleged lucky ones, but an action without an announcement is nonsense!
That's it, enough about the Carousel, otherwise the flood turns out. I was just very surprised by this message.

This is not a promotion, but a sale. In different Carousels, the sale price for the same product was different and the products were sold differently. Why so - I don't know, these questions are for the Carousel management. I came, saw, bought, wrote here, you see, someone from St. Petersburg goes to the Carousel and will also buy this saucepan for such a nice price.
By the way, I already cooked in it a compote from apples and pears dried in autumn - it turned out wonderful, very tasty.
Today I will make chicken legs with potatoes, tomorrow I will cook the tongue. Can anyone say something about boiling a tongue in DVA, can there be any secrets?

I put chicken thighs with potatoes on Hai, 4 hours have already passed, and they not only did not reach the condition, but the potatoes and chicken are really raw. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

You can switch to Low, and still wait a couple of hours.

You can switch to Low, and still wait a couple of hours.

But on Low, as I understand it, is the temperature lower? Or am I wrong? And if I leave on Hai all night, what will happen? It's just that my husband must be given food to work in the morning, he leaves for a day. And on Low suddenly it will not come to readiness until the morning?

But hotter? Is the pan hot?
