Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

Vika, here's the recipe https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=422489.new;topicseen#new

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, you sealed the meat by frying, so it didn't give juice as needed. Add water or broth to the fried one.

[Lerele]

Lerele. Yes I poured water too.
So, with regards to meat from Ivanitch. and if I take beef? In my opinion you can?

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, I also did beef, only without bones, everything evaporated.
Apart from cutlets, I hardly fry anything, the meat is always slow, there has never been a puncture.

[Lerele]

Lerele, All clear! Also, then I will not fry anything in advance!

Girls, can you pour boiling water over the meat slowly

[selenа]

selenа, can. And you can sauce. And you can put what you want in it. And you can cook meat broth.
And make ghee, and heat milk, and compotes, and cereals. Everything can be done.

[Lerele]

Lerele, I read you, the scales according to the horoscope, I could not decide which one should be, I ordered both, large and small (3.5 and 6.8), but I have a habit of pouring boiling water over everything, so I asked what technology would not be broken ... Tomorrow I will get one for sure, or maybe both, I must at least buy some milk for melted
I still have a question (probably stupid) meat (game) can be put without adding water, and vegetables (beets, carrots) can cook without water

[selenа]

selenа, Wow!!! Well this should be two at once !!
Although if the family is large, then in one you make meat, in another, for example, buckwheat for a side dish.
By the way, you can not pour anything at all, because there is a lot of juice, in the picture I can see, but there is not a gram of water.

[Lerele]

Lerele, a family of the same people, sometimes I cook for children when they come to visit (2 people) and take away to them
I had points on Ozone, shorter than 2 pieces cost 3,700 rubles, the "chot" seemed to me not expensive with the price not to understand what was going on, Electrolux in one store was 1989 rubles, and in another 4999 rubles.

[selenа]

selenа, then you will do it and freeze it, then you just heat it up!

[selenа]

selenа, you can't boil water in it !!! The bowl will crack !!

[Masinen]

Masinen, if there is already something in it, it will not crack, I poured buckwheat with boiling water.

[Masinen]

Masinen,

you can't boil water in it !!! The bowl will crack !!

I always pour boiling water into a bowl thick enough so that the boiling water is immediately distributed and cooled. And the fact that the bowl, when turned on, immediately begins to warm from below?, Especially not over the entire bottom area, but first along the protruding rim at the bottom = not uniform heat distribution = and does not crack

Of course, if the bowl is very cold - well, you never know where - from the refrigerator, from frost - then you can't turn on the slow cooker, it's better to first pour warm water into the thicket to warm it up a little.

a family of the same people, sometimes I cook for children when they come to visit (2 people) and take away to them

Even you, in my opinion, got excited with 6.8 liters. It would be better if I took 1.5. I have just such a set, I am also one and cook for my son and mom to take away.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, but you can completely push the goose into it

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, but you can completely push the goose into it

You can't argue But who is there? In addition, I have dietary troubles, I am not supposed to goose, and they will not eat mine either.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, An, but 1.5 is not on sale, but I don't like to order because of the hillock
About 6.8, I thought of all sorts of cans in it, well, there is varenets, stewed condensed milk

[like a Russian oven]

I was thinking about 6.8 about all sorts of

Meat broths, jellied meat = vasheeeeeeee !!!!! it's just a wonderful way out: girl-yes: not small and how small it is like a Russian oven =

do all sorts of banks in it

or put pots, or during the harvesting period it will be very useful for jam. I have it not idle - 6.5 L Kenwood

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, well, then you can cook buckwheat, put it in bags and in the freezer. Then I came home from work, took out a bag and warmed it up.
Or, for example, she put the kurzrud there, naparil, and again in bags.
We ate lamb, I put it in jars and in the freezer. If I want it again, I'll pull it out and warm it up.
Big, not small, I love everything big, although I have 3.5 liters slow. There is no big place.
We, too, are mostly together, but I have not learned to cook a little, I suffer from gigantomania

you can't boil water in it !!! The bowl will crack !!

I constantly pour boiling water over the rosehip.

Ceramics are more afraid of the drop from heat to cold. In a hot bowl, do not pour a cold one
And I constantly pour boiling water, just first turn on the pan together with the bowl, it will warm up a little and that's it)

Well, if you warm it up, then you can probably)

[Masinen]

Masinen, I even say in the instructions for the slow-cooker that first preheat the pan, and then put, for example, meat, vegetables in it and pour hot broth into it

I make baked milk this way, pre-boil it and then into a saucepan

The pot itself may not crack, and the glaze can easily go from a sharp temperature drop.

Better not to risk it. And do not test the strength of the cup. IMHO
For then you will not find a new bowl anywhere and you risk generally being left without slowness.

And do not test the strength of the cup. IMHO

The bowl cannot compete only with the floor .. it beats for some reason

Yesterday I cooked chicken thighs using this recipe
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=158764.0
Well, generally super! Simple, not troublesome, very tasty and very satisfying!

And I have been preparing meat for a long time, only at the end I add sour cream and mustard, and I cook EVERYTHING - both hearts and navels

[Natalia]

Natalia, Hearts are! I will definitely do it!

Girls, can you pour boiling water over the meat slowly

I always pour boiling water from a kettle, but preheat the bowl itself with hot water from the tap. It turns out that way much faster.

I report the slow cooker at 6.8, it didn't seem big to me (maybe due to the oval shape), a brilliant beauty, she put 4 potatoes, 1 onion, 2 carrots, 4 celery stalks, 1 eggplant, everything is coarsely chopped, put a pork shank 1100 gr on top ... (Miratorgovskaya, pickled for baking in the oven). The bowl is full, set for 6 hours on strong heat. In short, we will see

and what to watch, - get ready, yes eat

[selenа]

selenа, congratulations on your assistant !!!
It will be delicious, and what smells there will be !!!

[Lerele]

Lerele, Thank you, dear, the smell has already gone, but "even" nothing gurgles, although the lid is fogged up

Instead of gurgling! 2 hours later, maybe even then I'm not gurgling

[selenа]

selenа, it will gurgle later, after 4 hours, at first the smell will go, the meat will turn white, the juice will stand out. And then one day, you look, and there are small gurgles, but it does not boil like on the stove, but bubbles appear. You have a lot of things, that's why not everything is fast.

[and it shouldn't gurgle]

the smell has already gone, but "even" nothing gurgles, although the lid is fogged up

and it shouldn't gurgle - after all, 100 * should not be, otherwise it is no longer a slow cooker, on high t it only keeps about 100 *, on low no more than 85 *, there is no boiling, it goes languorlike in a Russian oven, where cooking does not take place on an open fire.

although the lid is fogged up

normal! and

6 o'clock

is it not enough? after all, shank ... and vegetables take longer than meat

By the way, I like to recycle in a slow way all sorts of salad preparations, which are closed in countless quantities in the fall. but during the winter they are not eaten. I just marinate the meat in them and then dump it all in a slow lid and carcass.

This year we will not eat lecho in any way, yesterday we made meat in it, only added onions, because lecho is just pepper in the juice of grated tomatoes. Thanks for the tip.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, I also add lecho here instead (or half) of water.

Porridge with meat of the second category in the Brand 37502 multicooker



And I do all sorts of risotto, like that
Tomato rice with mussels

The next report in 7 hours on the High-strong heating mode, completely unexpectedly (half an hour earlier it seemed that everything was raw) the meat became soft (the skin too) did not fall off the bones, but you can already eat the rawest vegetables from the vegetables turned out to be carrots and celery (crunch ), I took out the potatoes and eggplants, and put the carrots and meat back and put them on the Medium-medium heating mode for another 6 hours, I must say that in 7 hours I opened it 20 times - that's for sure, I'm not sure I will leave it for 6 hours , but I would like to see the following degrees of meat readiness.From the first "melting" (steelmaker homeworker) made several conclusions for myself about the preparation of products, now I would have to deal with the modes. Girls, if somewhere in the topic there are posts about MVE Elektrolux - please send me there or tell me what 3 buttons, in my opinion duplicating each other, can mean: 1. Low heating 2. Keeping warm 3. Buffet? , and what the Soup button can mean if there is a Strong Heat button

[selenа]

selenаwhen you open it, some of the heat goes away, so it takes longer to cook.
It still surprises me, raw, raw, then bam - completely soft.
I can't send it, because I have the most primitive, mechanics with three positions, high, low and auto.

I must say that in 7 hours I opened it 20 times - that's for sure,

If I am not mistaken in the numbers, then somewhere here they wrote that each opening of the lid must be compensated for by an additional 20 minutes. So it's a miracle that your meat is cooked with this "mode".

[Ipatiya]

Ipatiya, well, if you remember yourself, then at first I also climbed all the time to see what would happen
I don't even look at it now, because I know that it will turn out deliciously and softly.

[Lerele]

Lerele, so something will be cooked without our supervision ?! It's the same with all devices. Sometimes I hit myself on the hands.

Girls, I need your help!
Russell's slow cooker arrived. Everything is intact, but at the bottom of the bowl at the junction of the bottom and walls there is a glaze defect of 2x3 mm. Not a hole, on the contrary protrudes slightly above the surface. How dangerous is it? I don’t understand ceramics, I read that you cannot wash ceramics in a dishwasher and cook in a microwave - water is filled into the micropores, it boils and the product can crack. Is it the same in this situation? or leave? Returning back by mail is possible, because although it is a discounted price, it was only about the deformation of the packaging, but not the integrity of the bowl.
🔗

The defect is in the center, the rest of the white dots are dust from the foam.

if just irregularities are not a hindrance, glaze flows, not a big break.

[Irsha]

Irsha, I seem to have written again not quite accurately. There is a pimple in this place and there is no glaze on it, it is rough.
