Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

[Gibus]

2 hieroglyphs are visible on the red buttons: the left one is soups, the right one is porridge.

Gibusthank you, valuable information

[Gibus]

Gibus,
My slow cookers on HI do not have small bubbles on the edge of the bowl, but a normal, quiet boil, bubbles come from all over the bottom. I think it is about 100 ℃.
Therefore, I am puzzled whether I need an electronic, albeit very cute, model, or still take a mechanical one, because the Thai OTTO 207 is already very flimsy, it cooks well, but I'm afraid it won't last long.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, understandably. Let's hear what he has to say Sens about Tonza.

P.S.
here is another visual picture with the names of the modes and pictures of dishes

the duration of the modes: the first column is the mode, the second is the default time, the third is the time setting range

for this model Tonze DGD-20/30 / 40AWD

[Gibus]

Gibus,
I am also looking at this model in thought, but so far the lack of recipes, neither baked milk, nor even rice pudding, nor cabbage soup, nor boiled pork is scary
Well, and at least 1 liter of milk? a lot of porridge for me



Gibus,
I think that the EXPRESS mode, which is called fast soup, should have the highest temperature, so I would say my potatoes with butter and try to bake it on this mode? Or how?

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, a Sens that's what he wrote

Here is a description of my mdv.
In the "quick soup" mode, bubbles on the bottom appear at the end of the first hour, only 3 hours.

what about this mode?

Let's hear what Sens has to say about Tonze.

Time has gone!
I put the "Food soup" mode, the default time on it is 4 hours.
We are waiting ...

2. If the light suddenly blinks, or turns off for a while, then, after turning on the light again ..... How does the electronics behave in Tonza.

light ... goes out for a while

- this = deactivation of mdv = deactivation of the program.

blinking light

- I can't say anything, since there was no such situation.

[Gibus]

Gibus,
Yes, I'm talking about the FAST COOKING SOUP.
But I realized that 2 liters is a lot for me, so I looked at myself a liter model TONZE10-10CD, I would also like to find out the price and the cost of delivery in China



Sens,
Did you put any vegetables in there? Heating an empty pot is a little scary

[Gibus]

Gibus, And which MDV for porridges did you choose?
Did I really like your questions and reasoning?
I was late for this ransom, and most probably it is completely unprofitable to buy.

Did you put any vegetables in there? Heating an empty pot is a little scary

the bowl was empty!
mdv itself does not turn off.

[Sens]

Sens,
THANKS, this is great news.

Does anyone have a Russel Hobs 24180-56 or Atlanta ATH-598 slow cooker? Are they self-shut off? Or do you need pens?

Or do you need pens

I am always in favor of the shutdown timer, but after I read about the shutdown timer, the problems disappeared by themselves, the year was unclaimed, and now I have adapted and sometimes I turn on the cartoon through it, because not all programs work in it to turn on

Does anyone have a Russel Hobs 24180-56 or Atlanta ATH-598 slow cooker? Are they self-shut off? Or do you need pens?

Atlanta 598 shuts down by itself. It is electronically controlled. There the time must be set.

And which DVA for cereals did you choose?

I worked so hard with the modes, compared pictures and hieroglyphs, and as a result I chose ... pink. Because pretty ..
tonze dgd12-12dd 8 modes (2 soups, 4 cereals, rice and "compote"), a 1.2 liter bowl, non-standard, breaks - you can't buy it anywhere ..

Atlanta 598 shuts down by itself. It is electronically controlled. There the time must be set.

I also have Atlanta, it does not turn off by itself ... after the end of the time it switches to warm mode

I also have Atlanta, it does not turn off by itself ... after the end of the time it switches to warm mode

probably almost everyone after the main program switches to heating, in my opinion the slow ones do not have the function of preliminary turning off the heating

and I already said if heating is not needed, etc., the solution is one - a timer, 206r in Leroy and not even turn on or turn off any hassle

[Gibus]

Gibus,
And what is the price of TONZE DGD12-12DD and the cost of delivery in China?
And the power?

[Gibus]

Gibus, congratulations on your choice! You have it nimble))) 300W per 1 liter!
And about the non-standard, one of the girls said that a liter was declared, but in fact it turned out to be more.
And you add. Did you order a bowl?
I ordered a liter and 3hl) Here is a hamster)))

[Mark's mom]

Mark's mom, 200W is marked on the box and the device itself. I looked at one seller for a real photo of the bottom of the device and the box, and there are 200 watts, so wait and see.

I wanted rather a cartoon with keram. pot than mdv.

But I realized the non-standard nature of this 1.2 liter pot after the order, when I did not find a single proposal on the whole taobao ...



brendabaker, 2270r

You have it nimble))) 300W per 1 liter!

The Philips 3060 multicooker has such a capacity. Kenwood's 6.5 liter (slow cooker) also has this. Why such power for 1 liter -. And is it slow?
I specially took out the monster to see it, it has 1 liter and 150 watts of power, so in it, apart from goulash with liquid, it is difficult to cook something so that it does not burn.

And is it slow?

we will assume that no. I'm not an adherent of slow brewing, I just wanted a ceramic pot for stewing.
What modes does your monster have?

He's mechanic, high, low and heated.

I'm not a slow brewer

I, too, was not once, I was completely satisfied with the taste of multi, in a small Panas I once cooked jellied meat and threw a pressure cooker into the basement, in which I had been cooking jellied meat for almost 20 years. And having cooked the first jellied meat in a slow cooker (6.5 liters Kenwood), I never cooked it in a cartoon again. The taste is somehow better, as well as the broths. But it doesn't bother me to put broth every three days at night, then I cook soups every day from the finished broth.

[Stafa]

Stafa, is there any difference in heating intensity between high and low?

On high it boils faster and boils like crazy, on low it boils a little longer, but it also boils like crazy, but it has a mode - it boils and turns off, then turns on again and boils again. So as not to burn, I switch to heating, stop floundering altogether, then switch to low. But I cook goulash in it and I am usually near, so I periodically go up and switch. In fact, I cook only meat in it, trying to be nearby for 3 hours, longer only beef is cooked for half an hour or an hour.

Oksana here somewhere wrote that slows are different (I'll be rude Asian and European differ on the same cooking programs t different). I have 3L Tonze and although I rarely cook in it (3L turned out to be a bit too much)

but just the other day I was preparing stuffed cabbage rolls, put it on mode (BB baby food, lasts 3 hours, I don’t remember exactly ... but I specifically looked in after an hour there was no boiling, after 2.5 I turned it off (there was no time to wait ... but during this time they prepared to such a state that we like, namely, cabbage can be said to be al dente.Meat with vegetables was very tasty, for 3.5 hours nothing was boiled, etc. ... put it on, turned it on, left, came - Everything is ready.Therefore, I think that you can discuss and compare the power by dividing the slow ones, they do not compare with cartoons at all, since they are made of different materials, and therefore different thermal conductivity, etc.

They are all made in Asia. Only different names. But I have 4 slugs - 2, as it were, Europeans and two Asians, and so Europeans and an Asian, the one that was declared for 1.2 liters (it turned out to be a 1.5 liter pot on top) - they work the same way, since the capacity corresponds to the displacement. But he is a monster in power very strong for a small displacement, in it 0.7 liters in fact can be made as much as possible, and it says 1 liter volume, but that volume turned out to be on the upper edge, therefore he prepares so aggressively.

[Stafa]

Stafathanks for the experience. I, too, will not renounce anything. I'll see what kind of animal ... Maybe I'll buy a real slow mdv later
Svetlana777, I will hope that at least 1 of 8 modes will be good for me .. I do not like linear heating algorithms, when there is a long gradual heating and the highest temperature at the very end.I realized this even on multicooker. The opposite is more suitable for me - first heating to almost a boil, and then lowering and languishing at a lower temperature. So I hope that more complex devices are capable of this ..

[Sens]

Sens,
And I have three questions again
1. At the end of the slow cooker mode, does it turn off or go into heating mode and can the heating be turned off in advance?
2. Is there no delayed start in this model?
3. On what program do you cook meat like aza, beef stroganoff, frying, and also in one piece?



I wonder if the TONZE DGD20-AWD and TONZE DGD20ZWD have the same programs?
White from brown only in color and glaze on the bowl is different, or are they different in function?

[Tonze DGD20-20ZWD]

three questions
1. At the end of the slow cooker mode, does it turn off or go into heating mode and can the heating be turned off in advance?
2. Is there no delayed start in this model?
3. On what program do you cook meat like aza, beef stroganoff, frying, and also in one piece?

1. goes into heating. cannot be disabled.
2.

in this model

in which "this"?
If you are about mdv Tonze DGD20-20ZWD, then the deferred stratum is. This can be clearly seen in the translation of the control panel.

3. I don’t cook. There are other appliances for meat.

Are the TONZE DGD20-AWD and TONZE DGD20ZWD programs the same

if there is a difference in programs, it is only in their names.

in general, all programs in simple electronic mdv are HIG or LOU, the only difference is in time.
even in complex electronic ones too ..

)Thanks for answers,
I also really like the AUTO mode, when the temperature is first understood to a boil, and then quietly drops to low. (Although in my nimble OTTO, the AUTO mode is simply the hottest, boils for itself and boils like a saucepan on the stove, (1.5 hours and ready buckwheat with frozen turkey fillet)



I decided to clarify a little for myself the question of the delivery of cargo to my apartment in Moscow from Komsomolsk on the Amur.
TK * BUSINESS LINES * will deliver a cargo of about 5 kg from the terminal in Komsomolsk to an apartment for about 1846 rubles in a rigid package, which is mandatory for sending multicooker.
I am glad that they themselves require rigid packaging, there is no need to beg them, but, of course, the amount is considerable.
🔗 As soon as I started hunting for the TONZE DGD20F, it has some sort of very unusual heating element for a slow cooker with holes.

[Sens]

Sens, and what do you cook in 2L Tonza and on what programs, what time is it? Did you somehow translate the instructions, or do you act "by typing"? I didn't cook in slow dishes, I can't decide whether to buy simple mechanics or electronic ones.

[Jackdaw-Crow]

Jackdaw-Crow, translation of the control panel

Cook whatever you like ...

[Sens]

Sens, thank you, but for me it is all the same "Chinese letter", literally and figuratively! On what program, for example, to cook crumbly buckwheat or to heat milk?

[Jackdaw-Crow]

Jackdaw-CrowI'll tell you a secret, the name of the regime does not matter!
Any dish can be cooked on any program by only adjusting the time.

Any dish can be cooked on any program by only adjusting the time.

And what are all these programs for? Which of them is the strongest and which is the weakest in terms of heating? Sorry for the importunity, well, I'm a "teapot"!

[Sens]

Sens, so what slow motion would you recommend to order on Tao? Mechanics or software? If possible, please outline again the pros and cons of both. This is for those in the tank. While it's still February, we need to decide something before March, because you won't order 10 pieces!

If possible, please outline again the pros and cons of both. This is for those in the tank. While it's still February, we need to decide something before March, because you won't order 10 pieces!

That's right! And I still can't formulate what I need!

it is also important to decide on the volume, (((otherwise I bought 3 liters, turned out to be too big, I would use no more for cereals for 1 liter, I can't cook a small portion in a large one with electronics, it burns around the edges, but it turns out very tasty even with milk diluted in half with water, it tastes like stewed milk. I tried these couple of servings on different programs ..., the last time on Baby food (in 3 liters it is), the result with a small portion is the same everywhere. I have not tried it in a water bath)

Any dish can be cooked on any program by only adjusting the time.

can you reduce the cooking time in the program? I know how to increase the cooking time, but to reduce it .. I stuck out all the buttons, to no avail

[Svetlana777]

Svetlana777, do you have AWD?
like that?

here is a time table for her by mode:

the first column is the mode, the second is the default time, the third is the time setting range, the fourth is the delay
there is nowhere less than 3 hours, therefore it is impossible to reduce

like that?

yes, this is why it is designed for a larger volume of food than I am trying to cook, therefore I rarely cook in it

[Svetlana777]

Svetlana777,
THANKS for the info on the minimum three hours. So I definitely need a mechanical one, I cook buckwheat for HAY, or AUTO 1h20 min-1.5 hours.
(Steamed buckwheat, I don't see another on sale)



Gibus,
I attentively looked at the table with time for each mode, and it did not even occur to me that the time could not be reduced until I read the question about loose buckwheat.
I have 1 glass of buckwheat, 3 glasses of water and a slice of turkey from the freezer ready in 1.5 hours for an Auto in a 2.5 liter bowl.



It is possible that in a 1.2 liter baby, buckwheat will still cook as it should.

[Oksana]

Oksana, I already saw that you chose for a long time and which one you stopped at. Personally, of course, for the convenience, like I pressed the program and zero, ...... but you need something that would be tasty and not soak the bowl later. In small slow dishes, the power is less there everything is possible and is designed for a small amount of food.

about a minimum of three hours.

no, there is no min 3 hours, all the same, there are still Chinese characters assigned, I checked in 3l the shortest cooking mode 3h30min, no shorter. I regretted a hundred times that for the first acquaintance with the slow-motion device I bought automation, not mechanics. Of course, it was possible to check the cooking at full load, but I have no one to feed the porridge in such an amount, stewing vegetables, meat in large pieces does a great job (only my household does not like stew. Therefore, I really want a little good slow-motion for porridge.

Probably, only neophytes like me are bought for electronics and beautiful "buttons" .. And who really knows a lot about slow-brewing, they prefer simple but obedient mechanics.

Probably, only neophytes like me are bought for electronics and beautiful "buttons" .. And who really knows a lot about slow-brewing, they prefer simple but obedient mechanics.

Thank you for your opinion, but I am toiling which one to choose.

and then I'm toil, which one to choose.

so which one to want to start? What do we choose from?

Oksana found herself, you need to ask her what she liked. spied her question in the joint venture such

I thought with Tao to want something that cannot be found on Ali, but if there is, then the price is not humane, like all the same Tonze, Midieu or Joyoung

I'm so slow, after a couple of years the mode switch fell off, just crumbled in my hands. Then my husband made me straight without a switch, and now it works better than before.

I'm so slow, after a couple of years the mode switch fell off

Well, all the same, the quality depends on the manufacturer, but if on a straight line, then there is only one mode left?

One, midway between high and low, but it has become so optimal that you shouldn't wish for the best.

Liked
1.A pot of healing clay that is hardened so hard that it can be used for cooking on the stove. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but everything about her tastes better to me.
2. I'm looking for an analogue of my favorite OTTO SC 207, which is not quite a classic slow cooker ... because in AUTO mode I let onions in it in oil like Tanyulya in my HANABISHI for 1.5 liters.
3. My OTTO, although not 3.5 liters, but only 2.5 liters in full volume is too big for me, I always finish the second portion.
4. I think I can cook dishes * in a pot * in a baby,
5. I realize its flimsy, but, having a KENWOOD 706, I look at it calmly, as much as it pleases, it will please.

6.The OBI store and others also sell sockets that allow you to turn the device on and off at the right time.
Although I cook mainly, focusing not on time, but on smell, I determine readiness by smell and so that it does not get overcooked too.
7. I asked Lena to look after me an analogue of my OTTO, she threw me this one, but for 3.5 liters, and then I looked and found it for 1.5 liters. Maybe then I'll grab another 2.5 liters.
