Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

[tsetse fly]

tsetse fly,
Lena, but you still have to pay for delivery to the home of the shopping mall,
At one time I called Delovye Lines and they counted 1890 rubles for delivery from Komsomolsk on the Amur, and then I was lucky that there was a pallet board in Moscow. I also have two crumbs even less than Svetyns.

Girls, on Avito. Moscow is being sold to the Boy for a penny. Metro Timiryazevskaya.

[Fotina]

Fotina,
Svetlana, how do you make yogurt? With sourdough from a pharmacy or ready-made yogurt? In a yogurt maker, or in a slow cooker?

Interestingly, and in a saucepan from the GUY can be used in the oven?

I think you can.
The pan resembles Pyrex glass pans and the like.

[Niarma]

Niarma,
Pans, like Parenka's, were sold in Crimea, in the 80s, of various types and volumes, both glass and non-transparent. ...
It seems to me that not transparent ones are closer not to Pyrex, but to more durable dishes such as Vision, Piroflame, Viroflame, traces of spoons and forks on the walls and bottom are also noticeable, the food in them is tasty, but you need to adapt so that the bottom does not burnt.
I cooked in them on the electric stove, for many years, until I interrupted everything.
I haven't tried it in the oven, nor did it in the microwave.



And I was pleased with KitFort again.
Yesterday I cooked shins like chakhokhbili and waited for my daughter to go for a walk in Timiryazevsky Park
My daughter came an hour earlier, the weather was fine, I turned off KitFort and we went for a walk. We returned three hours later and got a delicious dinner (everything was fine in a thick-walled saucepan, perhaps even better than in 3.5 hours of cooking.

[Fotina]

That's not true at all, slow 1.5 and 2.5 liters - 3279r for both

Lena, I also counted the TC)
You just don't take it personally, thank you so much and a bunch of plus signs in karma for your help!

Fotina,
Svetlana, how do you make yogurt? With sourdough from a pharmacy or ready-made yogurt? In a yogurt maker, or in a slow cooker?

Oksana, I do it in a multicooker, in 250 ml cups. And half the milk is in a large jar in the Ourson fermenter. There is simply nowhere else in portions)
In the glasses it turns out very thick, creamy even with 2.5% milk. In the jar, it becomes thinner when transferred, and in it the whey is separated during storage.
I am fermenting now on the store "Greek" yogurt Teos from Savushkin or on the thermostat Sloboda. Better on Teos)
I used to use starter cultures, best of all Bakzdrav for me - without sourness at all. But they are over, and they don’t reach to buy.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, I will thank you again for the recipe for vegetables in sour cream, I just can't get enough, I do it every weekend. I don't even add the sauce, I like it without it too! The last time I sprinkled a little smoked paprika, I thought I was wrong with the spices, but no, and it's delicious with it!

[Deana]

Deana,
My Mexican mixture is now languishing ... but I decided to add 250 g of minced chicken, frying it in a pan and a little milk (it is the Mexican mixture that releases little moisture). And my daughter and I will have a prepared lunch



Fotina,
Svetlana, it’s easier for me too on ready-made ylgurt and in a slow cooker.
My daughter called my baked milk * wonderful * and I am quietly happy

Oksana, I also cooked chicken and rabbit with Mexican mixture and sour cream according to your recipe. It went with a bang! The main task was to disguise the rabbit as a chicken, because my vulnerable son refused to eat it for a long time, cried why the chicken was killed. And here's a rabbit, no joke! I had to get out here. There is still a heap of fresh frozen beans.

[Olga M.]

Olga M.,
I also really like the frozen vegetables from KitFort, especially now, when the fresh ones have not yet grown, but I want something light and not fat



My daughter rejected the vegetables with chicken, now I put the minced meat, it was sold in the sauce and it became not clear at a glance that it was there, but it tasted delicious.
I am also cunning as I can.

What tricks you will not go. Today I bought frosts in the top five for the stock. Oksana, I have Morphy Richards, 3.5 liters. I read your laudatory reviews, and Kitfort is also reaching out to order. Stops, like most people hanging out here, the lack of free space (kitchen 8 sq. M).

I bring Kitforth to the kitchen only for cooking, and the rest of the time he is on the loggia in a bag.

Also an option :) I still have a large Electrolux. After the purchase, the MP is in little demand, but is not yet ready to part with it.

Cook jellied meat in a large - the very size.

Cook in a large jelly

Yeah and dried fruit compotes !!!

Girls, I keep it for them! I can freeze half of the broth. Recently, the duck was adjusted to a home size, not weak. The older daughter's fracture has just healed, she is still in the hospital. When he comes, I will make jellied meat to strengthen the bones.

[Olga M.]

But my whole kitchen, (sorry for the upside-down photo), has 2 slow cookers, a toaster, an egg cooker, a double boiler, a mixer by itself and two slow cookers. When a couple more slows arrive from China, I'll take Kenwood 706 to my daughter's apartment



Olga M.,
Olga, I like it hot and would have sold Kenwood long ago, but it’s not yet clear how KitFort will cook jelly for me and what will happen if you put soup chicken in it and go to bed.
Well, who knows how long it will last, the brand is not well known.



Now, if I could get a new Seabreeze 3.5 l with three modes and at a reasonable price

Oksana, respect! And at the bottom left - a refrigerator? I have internet in my phone :) I have a large and freestanding freezer. Plus the table is large, 4 chairs, so there is no space left. Some kind of bookcase for devices asks, but there really is nowhere to stick it. Noname is also coming to me from China, for 2.5 liters. For a week, I can easily do without slow-moving ones (cartoon rules), but on Friday evening give me 3 of them, or better 4: broth, 2nd, porridge and compote :), in order to get confused only with a side dish. Here's a smart Kitfort could help out in terms of dinner, but something I decided for myself at least one slow car with the auto mode. I have three children, so I want to free up time for some other things, besides cooking. By the way, I also made rice pudding according to your recipe in 2 ordinary glass half-liter jars. The rice was only long, with a round one better, I think. And very tasty.

[Olga M.]

Olga M.,
Yes, the smallest refrigerator and only 2 burners per cook. panels.
Olga, I am so happy when I manage to please with a recipe.



Olga, but noname probably has an AUTO mode.
And then it's not a non-name, but JC, a sales leader, if it's as red as mine.

Oksana, well, the one for 55 yuan, and 1.5 liters was for 35 yuan. I, too, now regret that I installed a 4-burner stove, and even a double sink. Well this is how much usable area is irrationally used. But that was before my hobby for deviceaholism.

My Mexican mixture is now languishing ... but I decided to add 250 g of minced chicken, frying it in a pan and a little milk, (it is the Mexican mixture that releases little moisture

And I was just doing Hawaiian! And you don't need to add rice, but I didn't think about minced meat, it's an idea! Fried with onions?

And today at night I did lecho with chicken breast, but I forgot to put rice and I liked it better. But since it turns out for me this lecho for three days, there was some kind of aftertaste from the rice the next day. I'll see how it tastes tomorrow.

And I did lecho with chicken breast tonight

And the recipe?

As Oksana wrote lecho with sour cream, only without rice, but cut the chicken breast into pieces.

[Olga M.]

Olga M.,
Well, yes, Lena Tse-Tse picked it up for me in terms of parameters and appearance, like my beaten OTTO, I just chose the smallest in volume.
It says JC, and I immediately christened it Joy of Cooking, based on the cookbook of the same name.
And the names of the modes are written on the control knob in English.
In short, such a cute * ladybug *, I'm looking forward to her
Deana,
Dinah, I had peas, corn, carrots and green beans in my mixture, so I decided I didn't need onions here.
In a frying pan, I heated a mixture of vegetable and butter, put the minced meat and began to break it into the smallest pieces so that there were no large lumps and pink inside.
Salted, pepper, added dry. garlic. When the minced meat gave off a smell, I put about 150-200 ml of milk and rubbed the minced meat directly into the puree, at the same time it boiled a little.
I put it in a bowl with the mixture, rice and sour cream, placed and cooked, on MAX until the carrots are ready.
Minced meat with rice turned into sauce.

Yes, Oksana, it looks like she is! I want to adapt it exclusively for porridge.

[brendabaker]

Girls!
I came with the impressions of the shank.
I did it according to the recipe, Katya kept it in a salt solution for a day and then in the slow for 7 hours, left it overnight in it, finished it in the morning, as it is advised here
🔗
delicious! but .. the shank was still slightly dry and did not fully hold together, in places the pieces fell off.
The next shank was boiled in a slow lye already in water with bay leaves and other spices, also for about 7 hours and cooled there.
Then follow the same scenario.
here everything turned out as it should! Very, very tasty! highly recommend!

why didn’t succeed at all 1o percent of the knuckle in the first case, I think that my slow girl is too nimble, even on Lowe. So I will only boil the shank for this recipe in water.

brendabaker, Oksana, I, too, with thanks for the vegetables in sour cream. It's so delicious !!!

[Mirabel]

Mirabel,
Vika, I'm glad that I please

but .. the shank was still slightly dry and did not fully hold together, in places the pieces fell off.

And someone doubted that the shank could be dryish, so now I make it in brine with beer.

I doubt
It turns out juicy in my Morphy)

Everyone has their own concepts of juiciness, as well as taste. Although now the knuckle has become not preferable to me, and any tasty to my husband.

All markers are different in taste and color

[Mirabel]

Mirabel,
Vika, I wrote off the recipe for the pressed shank, THANKS, there was a question about the skin.
I would definitely remove both bone and skin, and then press, or did you leave the skin? How to do it?



Vika, I have a plan to cook both shank and jellied meat at once. That is, a knuckle under the press, and jellied meat from the broth (I think I can also slip chicken drumsticks, or something else for the strength of the broth. In short, two in one, I am economical)

What a cool idea!

[Stafa]

Stafa, thanks, understood!

my mixture had peas, corn, carrots, and green beans, so I decided that onions were not needed here.

Thank you! I will be annoying to the last, but it seems to me this method also deserves to be a separate recipe. After all, with meat and without meat, completely different dishes are obtained!

[Deana]

Deana,
I think you can simply complement the frozen vegetable recipe with a hint that the sauce is also delicious with minced meat.



I attributed it from below and inserted a photo, I don't know how to raise it higher to the recipe in the comments

In WB now the price is 1190

And it shows me 1490 rubles.

Click "quick view", there is a 20% discount

On Avito Moscow they sell an oval Russell, a new one for 2 tons.

I attributed it from below and inserted a photo, I don't know how to raise it higher to the recipe in the comments

Well done! At least it will remain so.

On Avito Moscow

It's good for Muscovites, they have interesting Avito

And I'm making cottage cheese in KitFort, I've already hung it up in a bag, I'll see how much it comes out by weight and what it will be by tenderness.
As long as you like the curd, it is gentle, homogeneous, and the serum is clean.
From 2 liters of milk and 800 ml of kefir, 3 hours at MINIMUM.

Oksana, how to make cottage cheese? Just pour 2 liters of milk and 800g of kefir into a bowl and for 3 hours for a minute?

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, tell me later how I came out, I don’t make cottage cheese, because there is nowhere to hang to drain (yeah, I know!), but the possibilities of our boy are still interesting.

[Marpl]

Marpl,
Yes, and then strain through a canvas to let the whey drain and into the hololnik in a colander over a bowl, under a small load, so that the curd becomes denser

[Catwoman]

Thanks to our super forum, and in particular Elena Catwomanwho has already rescued me once, my DREAM has come true! Now Kenwood 701 lives with me !!!!!
I am very pleased!

[Bes7vetrov]

Bes7vetrov,
It's great when dreams come true, congratulations, let it serve for a long time and cook deliciously



Deana,
I took a picture of the process, but I can't post it yet, the phone freezes.
And he still digs out the cottage cheese in a bag, in a colander over a bowl and under a plate with a weight




504 grams of cottage cheese, taste is not sour, but not bland, similar to Adyghe cheese, but without salt and soda

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, wow, is that a pound of three liters? Can't you add salt to the clot? I don't know why there is soda, I haven't studied the composition of the Adyghe cheese, but imagine how great it would be to have cheese right away! Dreams?

[Deana]

Deana,
Dina, I needed cottage cheese for a cat and a dog + me.
But in principle, I think that salt or sugar can be added to your taste.
If I am not mistaken, the composition of Alyg should include additional eggs, salt and, like, soda.
In short, there is room for creativity, just do not forget to draw up with a recipe, which will come out tasty
