[valushka-s]

valushka-s, I started with chicken on foil balls. And it's still my favorite
I like compote very much. Broths. Goulash.

[valushka-s]

valushka-s, congratulations on your new purchasewow manth pribludy in the face of Russell Hobbs! May you please every day with delicious and healthy dishes!
And on the account of where to put ... ... more than a year ago I ordered my Sibrizka for 6 liters (in my family I got the name of her Madelene), so I also had no idea where I would put it. But I thought only when she appeared in my kitchen, there was no place at all
But after a little sweating and rearranging my toys, something had to be removed from sight, she took a place of honor on my gas stove. I took up exactly half of the burners, leaving 2 front burners for every fallout, which I rarely light even those.

And I looked into this topic with a question and advice.
For the second week I am already tormented by the question, and I don't know what to do.
We have such ceramic pots in Varus.

I have long wanted to buy some kind of cooking pot in smaller volumes. Now this has become all the more relevant, since for the two of us the 6 l pot of our Madelen is clearly large. Well, jellied meat there, stuffed peppers, cabbage rolls, compote, of course, for this volume will still come off, but for porridge I used to have a lot of stuff, and you bother to shift porridge, and wash that pot.
Then she adapted to put a new 1.7 liter enamel saucepan in the pot by pouring water into the pot and calmed down a little.
And now, seeing this tureen, I again fell ill with this question. But while I measured it in the store, then I thought about taking or not taking the issue price increased by 30 grams. I came and saw, was upset and left.
But there is no rest, and I don't know if this need is so strong. I will definitely not buy a small Ministry of Internal Affairs, my husband will not understand me for sure, and the question of the place is relevant. And the price of this ceramic tureen is almost equal to a small slow one.
I don’t know what to do directly and the financial issue is pressing, and this saucepan does not give rest, and I don’t know if I really need it at the moment
I know that there have been discussions in this thread about cooking in additional pots, but how can you reread the whole topic in a new way?

There is a knuckle in stock, though small, maybe it somehow, with something, but how?

1mst of pickle from tomatoes or cucumbers, 1 glass of beer (better than dark), but you can and what you eat, salt, peppercorns and for 3 hours for a high, then turn the knuckle over and add the garlic chopped and crushed flat with a knife (this way the aroma does not disappear) After a couple of hours, turn it over again, you can turn it over a little more often and watch how the skin on the knuckle will crack straight from a puncture with a fork - it's time to eat, but usually I bathe it for at least 6 hours, more often and longer, so that the meat melts right in my mouth. So you cook all the time for high.

Girls, tell me, pliz, will a goose, turkey enter the 6.5-liter? Or is it necessary to take 8L for this? I chose 1.5, 3.5, but I can't decide on a big one) I always thought that I didn't need a slow cooker, but now I want it to madness

[nila]

nilaa couple of ordinary baking pots won't solve the problem?

Today, in a slow cooker, I simmered compote in a clay pot per liter. So delicious. It seems to be no different from the slow one.

[Anastasenok]

Anastasenok,
Nastenka, sometimes I solve the problem with the help of such pots. But they are so small in volume, and then it turns out only in portions. But this is only milk and once. But sometimes you need something more to cook. The same small knuckle is always lost in my huge Madlen.We have to add something else, the same cabbage. But this can also be done in a smaller pot. I just don't know if the same shank, a small piece of meat or vegetable dishes will cook like this in another, additional, pot

I am interested in the question, if you put a smaller pot in a slow one, then you must pour water so that it does not burn out or can you just put it?

I don’t remember where, and I don’t remember when, but it seems Anechka Queen reported about cooking in pots with water added to the pot and without water added. I don't remember the results, but I would very much like to reread the results myself.
Or to hear the opinion of the knowledgeable on this issue.

I also master my MV. And how is it in the MV pan, and even put the pot ..., interested. And where can you read about it on this site? I have looked through the threads with recipes for CF, but have not found anything about pots so far.

I am interested in the question, if you put a smaller pot in a slow one, then you must pour water so that it does not burn out or can you just put it?

it seems to me that water is needed

I pour water when I slow cook in pots, but I'm so tired of tearing this groove on the bowl from the water. It would also be interesting to know - does anyone cook without water?

I found where Anyuta wrote about how she tried to cook in additional pots without adding water to the pot.

Light, do it. please with a recipe, otherwise I searched for a long time, and then I remembered what you wrote in the last messages.
will be lost, it will be a pity

Girls, I thought Russell had a colder temperature than Seabreeze. My meat was baked in a sibrizka, but here it was just boiled

Can anyone help with some advice?
Yesterday a small pot with a height of 15 cm slipped out of my hands, fell into the bowl of the Russell Hobs slow cooker, in which there was water, but nevertheless broke the bowl anyway.
What can be done now?
Are these bowls sold somewhere separately?
Maybe someone has seen suitable clay pots?
Or is it possible to throw out the unit?

Maybe someone will be interested in the information: yesterday in the Mediamarket there were slow cookers Electrolux for 1999 rubles, for 6.8 liters, touch control.

Yesterday we put buckwheat with meat and compote in our slow-cooker with 2 compartments.
In the morning smells, exactly like in the school cafeteria !!! A mixture of buckwheat with meat and compote! I didn't like it))), apparently, I didn't really like the dining room food)
Buckwheat, it turns out, and I never thought, you can digest, which I did in 7.5 hours on the low. It is like a pate, you can spread it)

.

Light, do it. please with a recipe, otherwise I searched for a long time, and then remembered

This is Chuchelkin's recipe shank in brine

Girls, I thought Russell had a colder temperature than Seabreeze. My meat was baked in a sibrizka, but here it was just boiled

so I don't bake anything, but the boiled meat on top just dries up

I have it in my cache too

Yesterday a small pot with a height of 15 cm slipped out of my hands, fell into the bowl of the Russell Hobs slow cooker, in which there was water, but nevertheless, I still split the bowl

vaska, but now try cooking in small pots in a dry bowl (you can't add water anymore) until you find a new saucepan or bowl in it. The girls gave a link in the answer # 5435 to such an experience, now there is nothing to lose, and in small pots, I think, it should turn out well.

[Melanyushka]

Melanyushka, and how to do a goose? and she made sausage in it in water and pâté also in the bath.
no one had the experience of buying a suitable pot? already rummaged through a bunch of stores and it's hard to understand from the scanty information about the product whether this pot is suitable or not. And now there is no Russel on sale either ((only huge pots of 6 liters, I'm alone, I had a lot of 3.5 liters.
Some frustration.

In our market, they sometimes sell homemade clay pots, beautiful takiiie, of all different shapes and with or without lids. Maybe you have? You can probably even order a certain shape and size
In the store, I also saw, in the form of a duck, large.

Melanyushka, and how to do a goose?

Goose completely, probably already in any way. And in portions, in small pots, you can try. And look for a new bowl, or a suitable earthenware container, well, or buy a completely new slow cooker, then the goose, and the chicken, and the shank, and everything else can be cooked as before.

Girls, I thought Russell had a colder temperature than Seabreeze. My meat was baked in a sibrizka, but here it was just boiled

Masha, won't Russell's bowl go into Seabreeze? Or do they have different sizes? You have an electrical base from Seabreeze in order, I realized that the bowl with the lid broke. Or am I wrong?
Do they have the same power?

[vaska]

vaska, try to knock on PM to Zhenya from Chernomorsk GenyaF
She broke her cup and I know that she tried to order a new one somewhere. I don't know how her story ended.
But the truth was the bowl was from Sibrizka and for 6, 5 liters. But she definitely pushed through this question and can tell me something.

[nila]

nila, Thank you!

who and how does it by washing the saucepan after heating the milk.

On a cotton pad - vinegar, and wipe the white bloom. Then I also "Yes" and very thoroughly rinse with water. I wipe it dry. If something remains on the sides of the pan, I repeat it again. No smell remains.

I decided to buy a slow cooker. Found a 5 liter version from Andrew James. To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of such a company. On Amazon, reviews about her are mostly positive.
But I still want to find out for myself a couple of questions:
- Does anyone have experience in operating the equipment of this company?
- Is 5 liters normal for a family of three who loves to eat?

Here is a photo of the technique:



Thanks in advance.

[simurgl]

simurgl, how beautiful!
Take, normally 5 liters.

Thank you. That would be people with experience in operating the products of this company. A company from England, it is clear that everything is hardly manufactured in England, but still ...
I don't want to throw money away.

The instructions say that for the best result it is advised to fill in at least half. And from the experience of operating such large devices, how justified is this requirement? Sometimes I just want to make a small amount of food, so I think how imperative it is ...

[simurgl]

simurglThey do not want to send to Russia and therefore you will not find special reviews here
I have a friend who lives in England, she praises this company very much. She doesn't have a slow cooker, but a mixer and a blender.
Well, Andrew James and others are full of slow ones.
I also stared at these slows, but ordered myself another one, without electronics.
🔗+
Here is such

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, I know, but I'm not from Russia.
I have already contacted the company itself, they said that they would deliver the order to me without any problems, if I wanted.
I decided to take a chance, ordered. Before that, I went through reviews about Andrew James products on Amazon in general and about slow cookers - in particular. In general, negative reviews for slow cookers are of the order of 8-10%, with half of the negative reviews regarding damage during delivery. A third approximately - concerns the fact that the people who ordered the thing, oddly enough, simply had little idea of ​​what a slow cooker was, which is why they complained that it took a long time to cook.
Well, there were some curiosities, like the handles of a ceramic pan getting very hot.

In general, I'm waiting. They promise to deliver in a week or two. Then we'll see. In general, there are many interesting things and goodies on their website, I was surprised myself.

[simurgl]

simurglYes, I agree, very interesting products in this store.
Don't forget to brag about your slow speed when you get it.

[simurgl]

simurgl, I also put in the basket three pans of different displacement of this brand)) I can not choose between electronics and mechanics) You ordered, as I understand it, on their official website?

[Rada-dms]

Girls! My beauty came to me! Breville!
This is the second, the first was defective and went back
The chicken is available. Throw a chicken recipe at me. Only accurate, so that I do not fall face down in the mud in front of the family. They think this purchase is another fit of madness.
Rada-dms, Olya! Did you get yours ?! We have the same. She is beautiful, so laconic. And more than 3.3 liters due to the height.

[Vika]

Vika, congratulations on the new thing! Even though I'm not in the subject at all (yet)

Vika catch
Grilled chicken

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, Yulechka, Thank you!
I know I know. what kind of temko are you ... in Izidrevo-drying
vernisag, Ira, thanks! Can I put folco balls instead of a lattice?
But .... I won't be able to cook today .... I'm forgetful chicken ... In Britain (I bought on their Amazon) other sockets and plugs are made for them. I need to buy an adapter.

[Mirabel]

MirabelVikusya, yes I was there (and I wasn't going to, as you remember :) Now I'm hanging out in the forms of Nordic Ware.
_{And also in secret, I'll soon be announced in another Temka, maybe with this course we have a horror of what's going on}

[Yulia]

Yulia, yes I remember!
But the forms, thank God. I'm not interested. Very beautiful, but so expensive. I can do without them.
and in what Temko will you show up ??? Well, at least give a hint. yeah ... you have a course

[Vika]

Oh, Vika, I'm afraid to jinx it, I'll get it, check it and then I'll write about everything. Sorry to be off-top

Vikulya, congratulations !!! May he serve you faithfully and dogo! And always only pleases.
Nothing crazy. A very useful and useful saucepan! Tell your family so)))

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, Vikulya, congratulations !!! May it serve you faithfully and for a long time! And always only pleases.
Nothing crazy. A very useful and useful saucepan! Say so
family)))

You make them meat, they will immediately say that the most necessary thing !!! Congratulations!!!
Do not forget the garlic and put it at night, the smells will go crazy

And who ever put a bowl from the slow-cooker in the oven? And then I somehow cooked the leg and while I was shifting it to the mast to brown it, it all fell apart. Interestingly, you can put it right in the bowl so that the crust appears. Or for such purposes it is not intended and it is better to buy a Redmond cover.

[Elena]

Elena, No no! Under no circumstances should you put the bowl in the oven! The instructions say about this.
Lisichkalal, Lerele, Thank you so much!
To do at night, there is no timer yet, I'm afraid to oversleep
Light, how is it called French? Maybe I'll order it too, we won't have time to look in stores.

Why a timer ??
Even if someone sleeps for two hours, nothing will happen, it will not burn.
I also don't put meat on the night, smells interfere with sleep, and so, if there are doors to the kitchen, then you can easily put it.
You just need to adapt to the slowness, at first I didn't know what to do either, I made meat for the first time, ran in horror to see that nothing was happening, then I got such a gorgeous result with meat, then there was buckwheat, and then it started off.
