Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

I want to try it slowly with sour cream

if without a lot of vegetables or without them at all - I gave an example of my liver pâté, when the volume of the slow meat is filled a lot

the cooking time depends on the quantity, if not a large layer of liver - here is a tray - yes under sour cream, and some vegetables under the liver - then there will be enough for a high hour, you need to look after the fact

and depending on how much the bowl itself

I want to like this, but to throw everything at once

While I think so: chop, salt and knead cabbage with grated carrots and onions, and put on the bottom and around the edges.
Top with butter.
In the center, in some kind of bowl, liver, seasoned and in sour cream.
Cook on HAY until the liver is ready, if the cabbage is not ready, then I take out the bowl and let the cabbage cook out.
My Kenwood only accelerates 3 hours to High, so I'm counting on 4 hours, IMHO

[Irina]

Irina, the volume of the bowl I have is 1.5 liters, baby)) Yes, I just want a liver without vegetables.

brendabaker, an interesting recipe ... Only I do not understand why the liver is chopped into minced meat. Maybe it's better to take the usual minced meat and fry, and then in a slow one?

[Ksarochka]

Ksarochka,
I want to try a combination of cabbage and chicken liver.

[Oksana]

Oksana, then another matter. Tell me later how it happened. I have never made cabbage with liver together.

[Oksana]

Oksana, then another matter. Tell me later how it happened. I have never made cabbage with liver together.

And I have not tried it .. Now I am looking at options for lazy cabbage rolls in a slow cooker, maybe that will work, or in the form of a casserole?
In short, everything is still in dreams

[Oksana]

Oksana, if the volume allows, then lazy cabbage rolls are better in the form of cutlets, it seems to me. I have a baby of 1.5 liters. Therefore, I make lazy stuffed cabbage rolls in the cartoon. But can I try it as a casserole? ...

[Ksarochka]

Ksarochka,
Here, until I myself can not decide
I would like a layer of cabbage, a layer of slightly fried minced meat from the liver with onions (I don't know if it's worth adding rice yet?), A layer of mushrooms, butter
and cover all this with a cabbage leaf on top so that the top does not dry.
As for pouring milk, cream, or sour cream, there is also one question mark.
In my big one, it is clear that the HI mode.
What a pity that there is no ready-made recipe

Oksana, maybe you can get some ideas from here (remove from the line com and a dot after "ru", otherwise the link will not open, for some reason only copied with it)

[win-tat]

win-tat,
Tatiana, THANKS

To begin with, I prepared ordinary cabbage rolls with the most delicate rice and soft, but not cotton-wool.
I made the rice raw, having previously supported it in a thin, aromatic minced meat, where it softened and gained flavor while I cooked all the other ingredients.
In sour cream sauce, without tomato and without a drop of oil.
9 o'clock on LOW.
Only for the sake of such stuffed cabbage it was worth starting a slow cooker in the house.

[Oksana]

Oksana, and it is also delicious with yachts instead of rice

[katko]

katko,
Ekaterina, I will develop further
I have not made cabbage rolls for 30 years, I can not eat tomato sauce with fried and emerging oil.
For the idea with a cell, the salvation is huge, I think it is more useful than peeled rice

Girls, off a little, if you will)

I like stuffed cabbage rolls "real", and if lazy, then with balls. Mixed or layered - no. Somehow dislike passed from my mother, she considered the mixed cabbage rolls to be hospital food, otherwise she responded even more rudely.I cooked my husband several times in a multicooker, this is one of the "signature" multicooker dishes. But without delight - "2 kg of food", and that's it.
And recently I was told: "you do not love cats lazy cabbage rolls because you don't know how to cook them ")). And they told the recipe. minutes, adding a little water to steam everything.
And yes - Oksana is right - no tomato paste!)
It's just a fairy tale turns out)) a loose fairy tale) a discovery in adulthood for me.

Sorry again)

[Fotina]

Fotina, that's interesting! And I have been cooking all my life - I fried everything separately and cooked the rice until half cooked, and then steamed it deliciously! And she was surprised when they said that fu and bee. But it turns out that everyone cooks something differently!

[Oksana]

you can't extinguish everything together

Oksana, Oh yeah!!!!! The stuffed cabbage rolls are gorgeous !!!! I don't add rice to classic cabbage rolls, but to lazy ones, which are koloboks, it is better to boil the rice a little, because raw can absorb a lot of liquid and there is a risk of getting dryish cabbage rolls.

you can't extinguish everything together

I once cooked such a mess (I beg your pardon) And I trust the author of the recipe and the reviews were enthusiastic. I got such a beeeeeeee. For myself, I decided that my curvature was to blame. It was like putting everything down, turning on the cartoon and extinguishing.
We must try to do as you advise.
And extinguish everything in layers or stir?
A. by the way, in my opinion someone has already advised stewing cabbage rolls without tomato paste

I'm so bastard for now
For my non-meat-eating taste, I think that it would be possible to put even more cabbage with carrots under and above the cabbage rolls. And a small amount of turkey thigh fillets for all this mass fit very unobtrusively.
And, most importantly, not a gram of oil, so you can eat cabbage rolls cold.
And, most importantly ... I bought all the required products for 250 rubles last night, including young cabbage and shallottes, fiddled around before going to bed, cleaned all the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, turned on the slow cooker and went to bed. A. this morning almost ate off her tongue, having breakfast with such tenderness and without hitting a finger. This, I understand, is the right start to the weekend

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, I stir, but the main thing is not to pour a lot of water, otherwise it will be porridge!

[Hope]

Hope, Thank you!

Virgo, roaming the Internet in search of OUR recipe, I read how dolma is made in the Caucasus, in my opinion it's on the Say.7 forum.
I found out that, having made a rather thin minced meat, the hostess puts raw rice there, turns the dolma and sets it aside until the next day, at least overnight, so that the rice is fed not with water, but with meat juice with seasonings and herbs.
Then the rice turns out to be soft and tastier than soaked rice, or boiled in water. Round rice ...
Yesterday I did just that .. I made the minced meat, like on pasties in density, let it stand while fiddling, then languished all night. Tastier than regular rice.
I prick the cabbage rolls with a fork before pouring the sauce and simmering them.

PS At one time we rented an office in a kindergarten and received meals from there .. there I fell in love with lazy cabbage rolls, they were a little thicker than soup. I couldn't repeat this at home until I read the recipe in accordance with GOST.
There you need a lot of boiled meat, with raw minced meat it is not so much as frying.


And this is rice pudding, proportions 1:10, languished at LOU for 8 hours, at least

barley is a thousand times more beneficial than polished rice
and fry everything in oil is not our method, there is no need for it and it is slow there ... imha
in a slow, in my opinion, I put everything together and only my natural tastes)

[katko]

katko,

That's for sure

I smeared the spare parts of the lamb with crushed coriander and cumin for the night on the medium - yummyaaaa

in a slow, in my opinion, I put everything together and only my natural tastes)

And if in a multicooker - these are not your own natural tastes? It's strange, I never would have thought

[Admin]

Admin, Tan, because the theme is slow.

[Admin]

Admin,
Tatyana, yesterday I looked at the site of Chinese electric pans with a clay pot.
🔗
Like this, but in this one, specifically, you need to buy a pot separately.
And, as I took it, the pots can be put in different volumes ??.
At least 3 programs, SOUP, RAGU and Porridge, I think these are multicooker.
I. there are some where you can put 3 pots at once, in short, there is a dream about ch5m

[Admin]

Admin, their
but slightly more boiled
la, I adhere to the same principle in the cartoon, the easier it is to mock a product, the tastier it is

[katko]

katko,
Katerina, what is a YACHKA?
Is it chopped barley, or some other cereal?
And does it need to be soaked?

This is chopped barley

Yachka
Favorite porridge of Peter I. This is the same barley, but crushed and with a shell, where the maximum of useful substances. In Russia, they cooked a super kasha - kolivo, with the addition of poppy seeds, honey or jam. The merit of the yachka is that it helps to normalize digestion and metabolism, removes toxins and toxins. Groats are also added to soups, side dishes are prepared, pig or poultry is stuffed and baked in the oven.

[win-tat]

win-tat,
Tatiana, thank you, but where can you buy this cell? I am very poor at handling grain in general, so I rarely look closely at the grocery shelves.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, crushed barley grits
it is a whole grain with all the usefulness, only broken into pieces
I adhere to the fact that all cereals need soaking
we sell on the same shelves as buckwheat, millet, rice and other cereals
there is still crushed wheat groats, whole barley, pearl barley (polished), semolina, etc.

We sell it everywhere, and this is the name of barley groats. I used to cook porridge from it, and I always soaked it too.

[Oksana]

where can i buy this cell?

Oksana, this cereal is in Moscow in supermarkets and not only. Look for cereals on the lowest shelves, usually in 1 kg transparent bags.

I bought barley groats number 2, THE LAST PACK, I could hardly find it in the corner, on the bottom shelf.
I washed it, soaked it now in thought.
In the volume of 1 / 2m of a glass, would it be launched in Philips 3060, or still not to risk it and run it in a slow cooker overnight?
And what proportions are needed if I soaked the cereal?
From Redmond 02 I like porridge on water less than from Phillips, but Redmond cooks great and tasty porridge on milk.

Virgin, on the Internet it says that barley grits need to be calcined in a frying pan to improve the taste, but it is not written before soaking, or after?

[Oksana]

Oksana, so in the net and buckwheat offer to ignite
I don't know, I'm just soaking
I cook in water and milk
in Phillips and Panas
if dairy, then I like it thinner: for 1 mst of cereals 4-5 half milk

[katko]

katko,
Ekaterina, I successfully welded a yachka on water in Philips 3060, showed it in the Philips theme
1/2 cup dry yachka, 1.5 cups water, 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 1/4 tsp. salt
Soaked it for 4 hours, washed it again, dug it out,
Porridge, 40 minutes and left for another 1 hour on the heating.
Delicious

[Oksana]

Oksana, I'm glad you like it)
good grits)

[katko]

katko,
The dog also ate with appetite, I added a little boiled yak to its buckwheat. Let's see how it is assimilated, otherwise I will alternate buckwheat and yachts with meat

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, my friend to the dogs cooks with the yach regularly, everyone is happy)) both the dogs and the hostess)

Girls, good night!
I really need urgent advice. There is no time to read the topic.
Slow cooker is urgently needed. 3-4 liters.
Please advise what to buy now.

I ordered a brand new Russell Hobbs model, but it has an aluminum bowl with a non-stick coating.
Immediately drove back to the store. I was terribly upset.

I really hope for your help.

Thank you in advance!

[Rottis]

Rottis, Elena! There are a lot of slow cookers on Avito. New! Those that are no longer in stores. Hammer in a slow cooker, a slow cooker, a slow cooker, an electric cooker. Gives different options in all cases. And they often visit St. Petersburg, not to mention Moscow. And the prices are often very low.

[Elena]

Elena, typed all the options, nothing (((

[Rottis]

Rottis, Lena! Well, that's the way it is today. And after a while they will appear, they are very often. There is another option to buy in another city. Ask someone from the members of the forum from the desired city to buy and send (what was found on Avito). It is easier for Muscovites and Leningraders, and residents of other cities often have to do so if we buy something on Avito.

I’ll hope ... but I don’t understand why the one I bought was not a ceramic bowl.
How does it differ then from a multicooker, in which you can set the temperature ...

[Rottis]

Rottis, Elena! And she is not a slow cooker. It's just that the stores write that way, because the managers don't understand anything about it.

and who is she then? the previous model (also 3.5 liters) was called a slow cooker and had a ceramic bowl.
And this one added a frying function and ... ruined everything

[Rottis]

Rottis, Elena! I don’t know what to call it correctly, rather an electric pan. This model has already been written many times in this thread. Spit on it and look for a normal slow motion. In a slow cooker, the pot must be made of ceramic. This is the whole point of the slow cooker. Imitates a clay pot in a Russian oven.

will have to .... so when the reins are under .. it will fall, no endure ...

on the other hand - a slow cooker ... no need to rush)

[Rottis]

Rottis,
What you bought is a new generation slow cooker with a non-stick bowl, such as are now beginning to appear in Russia. (For gourmets who value pre-frying)
Their difference from the standard one is that they quickly reach the set temperature and do not require additional utensils for frying meat; the bowl of this slow cooker can be placed on the comfort of the stove.
The cooking time in such a slow cooker will be much shorter than in the standard one (I took this information from my book The New Slow Cooker),
The difference from a multicooker is in the buyer's mentality. Not everyone is ready to shell out money for 6 functions, two of which are rice and pilaf, for example, or yogurt
Plus there are no silicone gaskets, no drip trays, and it's easy to keep the lid clean. also the OVAL shape of the pot, I have not seen such multicooker
Of the minuses, it seems to me that you need more accuracy with the bones, well, and the non-stick coating is hard to say how strong and for how many years it will last
It is also difficult to say about the suitability of the insert pan for the insertion plates.
I am also looking at her, as an option for quickly softening hard vegetables for subsequent languor, but so far I do not see any recipes to understand mine, or well, his

I forgot to add, the heating element is located differently in the slow cooker, it seems to encircle the pot around the perimeter, at a level slightly higher than half the height of the pot.
The multicooker heats from below

[Rottis]

Rottis, on ebay you can buy or aliexpress.
