Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

[Exocat]

Exocat,
I ask because I ordered one myself. For cereals and pates, I would like to write off more recipes for the first time, until the hand gets used to the keyboard with hieroglyphs.
Stafa,
Sveta, I ordered simple Chinese slows to be able to make Chinese dishes, but I don't want to have electronic, cool and use it to its full potential. Therefore, I can't wait for recipes and methods for the future, so to speak.

Exocat, I ask, because I ordered the same for myself. For cereals and pates, I would like to write off more recipes for the first time, until the hand gets used to the keyboard with hieroglyphs.

There was a definite goal, more simple recipes for a diabetic, so I haven't tried to cook any delights yet.

I ordered simple Chinese slows to be able to make Chinese food

Which ones?

[Exocat]

Exocat,
JC Mechanic, 1.5L to taste a small portion of * Five Spices * soup and other Asian-style dishes.
And Tonze in a water bath 0.7 for milk porridge, puddings, pates ..




I will take a slow with brains only if there are recipes for which these brains were created. Not ready yet, either theoretically or in terms of stocks of sauces and spices



I have a few recipes in my book about the slow cooker, Chinese chicken soup, Asian-style ribs ... and one more thing, but there, at the rate of 6.5 liters of slow cooker, it is expensive and a lot for me. And you can cook 1 portion for a sample, so I'll try

And Tonze in a water bath 0.7 for milk porridge, puddings, pates ..

Today I cooked wild rice, put 150 ml of dry wild rice, it turned out to be a full saucepan of ready-made. In no case should you put more (less than 130 ml is better), 320 ml was poured in water. Rice is ready in 3.5 hours on the porridge program (every hour I watched the state to determine how long it would take to cook)

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksyunechka, thanks, Rodnul! Now I will try sweets with you!
I cooked soup a la Kharcho from ready-made broth + raw rice, garlic, tomato, onion. It was necessary to try the unit.
Indescribably delicious! Yohu!


Marvelous! Absolutely wonderfully thickened * JOKINGLY * soup turned out. I thought that the rice would stick together into porridge, but no. The beauty! I poured it now and sighed that the second Kit would not interfere with me today.

[Exocat]

Exocat,
Lyudmila, big THANKS, wild rice, brown rice to cook is a whole problem, for me, in any case. I wrote off sloaa, thanks again, so this Tonze will be in my business for sure.



Rituslya,
Ritul, you read my mind, I, too, have repeatedly thought about the second KitFort.



Girls, if someone needs my Kenwood 706, write in a personal, I will not sell it expensive

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksanchik, I am also for recipes. Of course, you can figure out something yourself, but when everything is already verified you don't need to think - it helps a lot when time is running out.
Can you post a recipe for Chinese soup?

Rituslya, Rituel, with a start! Kitik is such a sweetheart! Most of all other equipment is working for me now.

Kitik is such a sweetheart!

is it your sweetheart on electrotazhin similar in temperament?

[Mirabel]

MirabelVikus, there was just a conversation about temperament here recently and we came to the conclusion that he is practically tagine.

he practically is tagine.

Fine!
So you can carry your recipes and cooking algorithm safely!

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, tasshY! At the same time, you will later say whether the trust was justified, yet the form is different.

[Deana]

Deana,
Dina, if you really need it, then I will mint and translate it from English, and even recalculate for your volume, you do it yourself

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, I'm curious 😊 if the recipe is in English, then you can just throw it in a personal, but if it's in Chinese, then you need a translation!

tasshY!

thanks!
Yes, I also cooked other slow-cooked recipes with tagine. All ok! Especially where it is necessary to fry beforehand.
In short, the more pots there are at home, the more convenient it is for us, although the equipment will soon reach the bedroom.

[Deana]

Deana,
CHICKEN SOUP * FIVE SPICES *
Products composition:
1 kg of skinless chicken thighs
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tsp a mixture of ground * Five spices *,

How to cook:
Dry the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper and a mixture of 5 spices on all sides ..
Heat oil over medium-high heat in a large heavy skillet and fry slices on both sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Place the finished pieces first on paper towels and then in the slow-cooker bowl.
Put chopped onions in the same oil and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Pour 1 cup of broth into the pan and stir until all brown spots on the bottom dissolve. Transfer the contents of the skillet to a slow-cooker bowl and add the remaining stock, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce and vinegar.

Pour the meat soup into warm bowls, sprinkle each bowl with basil, cilantro, sprouts and thin circles of hot peppers.
Serve immediately.



This is where Lena Tse Tse's dried chicken broth comes in handy



Mirabel,
Vika, tagine heats from below, and KitFort from above, he is a simple slow cooker with well-thought-out modes.
These new 3D Tonze should look like tagine, where heating is from below and from above

I found in my fridge a pickled kebab with onions in kefir + rather coarsely chopped potatoes. For everything about everything about 3 hours. If it were more, then the meat would shrink to disgust, I hate meat after a long Warming up in a cartoon.

[Rituslya]

Rituslya,
Rita, appetizing, unblemished, and what was the regime?
I would have jumped at MAX, since there is a solid vegetable, but what was it really like?

tagine heats from below, and KitFort from above, it is a simple slow cooker with well thought out modes.

How can a slow cooker heat from above?
It is not known where the heating element is located at the Kitford - under the bottom or on the sides, but judging by the boiling point at max, most likely at the bottom, i.e. it is kitford that is closest to tagine.
And Kitford is not exactly a slow cooker when boiling.

A friend of mine ordered a kitford on my tip. I am very satisfied.
And I agree with me that this is a gorgeous stewpan - and you can fry in it and darken it.

[Oxyunik]

Oxyunik, at High and Business. Time about 3 hours, yes, probably more and not needed. The potato is so strong, the onion is not mushy, the meat is insanely soft, and the gravy is really mmmmmm !!!!
The main thing for me here is not to overdry. Today I'll try to stir up some hedgehogs in vegetables.

And I do not know what this unit is called, but a cool saucepan. Now we'll finish eating a la kharcho and I'll definitely try to cook some shchets.

[Rituslya]

Rituslya,
Ritul, and I want to stir up the green borshchik and immediately cook the eggs, putting them in a jar of water and in a bowl, along with meat and potatoes.
(I am curious how they will be cleaned, the same as from an egg cooker, or more difficult)

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, thanks for the recipe! I'll just wait for the spices from Lena and try.

[Deana]

Deana,
And I will wait for a liter multicooker and will make 1 portion for rasprob.
I have a lot of dishes of different nations that are unusual for me, cooked in a slow cooker, but a lot to do and expensive and scary, suddenly I don't like it. And one portion is not expensive and once you can eat a curiosity

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, and how do you stuff your feet into a liter? In principle, I can also try it in a two-liter one, but it is without enamel, I'm not sure how the spices will be washed out there later.

[Deana]

Deana,
250 g chicken thigh is 1 small thigh. And I'll put my legs upright if only the lid is covered



Dina, I also want to have one little baby for unusual dishes. Once the spices are washed off the Chinese, then they will be washed off with me. My grief is buckwheat, it really paints, so it paints both the multicooker bowl and the clay bowl.

On the question of Kitfort's regimes ... Maybe someone will be interested
Yesterday we were preparing fish meatballs with rice. Frozen pollock fillets were ground, added 30% turkey breast (for stickiness) and milk for juiciness. Season to taste, washed rice 3 tablespoons. The meatballs were piled into Kitfort, added water about 1/3 of the resulting volume of meatballs. We set the LOW mode for 3 hours. After 2 hours it was boiling quietly, after another hour the meatballs looked like beautiful hedgehogs, ready to taste. Rice stuck out in all directions as it should be for hedgehogs, meatballs were surrounded by a sauce of water, milk and juice of meat-fish. I decided to try another 3 hours on heating. There was no boiling, but the rice lost its hedgehog shape, it was just finally cooked like a risotto. The taste did not get any worse, the dish is appetizing, the sauce and liquid are completely absorbed into the rice. So you can cook in 3 hours on LOW, but in +3 hours on heating it is no worse, just differently. I didn't take pictures, because hedgehogs are like hedgehogs, only light because of the minced meat.

[Samopal]

And I bought myself a second KitFort, today I took it from self-pickup



Samopal,
Oleg, did you buy it after all? Congratulations, let it serve for a long time, and what cooks delicious is by itself

Oleg, did you buy it after all?

Yes thank you. The wife is in the shop, in the sense of being shocked by the priblud in the kitchen. But how they speed up and facilitate the cooking process

Since the Chinese wash the spices, then they will wash off my

And that's for sure, I don't follow them, maybe they do it in glazed, but I still have an extra pot, you can take a chance, select one for special projects

And I bought myself a second KitFort

Well done! I would find a place to put it, I would also buy it. And so I still have to think about where to attach the device for brewing herbs.

[Irsha]

Irsha,
Ira, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I turned on my KitFort for 30 seconds to check where it heats ...
The slow cooker is heated either along the bottom, like pans, or around the circumference in the upper third of the base, usually just below the handles. (The ones I kept at home)
And KitFort heats around the circumference, but at the bottom of the base, about 3 cm above the bottom.
I have never had such a device, I am intrigued and fascinated.




And I also think - * oh, how lucky I am with the enamel on the bowl, nothing burns on the sides, just like in Seabreeze *. And why burn there if there is no heating element and it is 5 cm lower.

Oh ... I also ordered another Kit myself. Here is just one too little. I would like to cook both that, and another, and the third, and not in anything. I giggle, yeah, I have only Keith and nothing.

I have never had such a device, I am intrigued and fascinated

Oksanchik, but what exactly? I had another good slow, but not at all, soooo slow-witted. I decided that I no longer look in this direction. And here Keith drew!

[Rituslya]

Rituslya,
Rita, I noticed that he somehow cooks especially deliciously .., the meat in him is the same as in the slow one, and the sauce is thicker and more uniform.
We liked the baked milk most of all in China for a MINUTE, and it was thick and creamy-brewed, that is, the very thing we need.
Cottage cheese from Kita is also very pleasant in consistency and in taste.
I come to the conclusion that I have some kind of improved slow motion of the 21st century.



And I realized that I needed not another 3-liter slow-cooker, namely another Kit.
Is it really the way its heating element is located?

And I would not refuse Keith for 5-6 liters. And that is not enough baked milk.

Friends, what is the best way to darken?
In other good units, I brought to a boil, and then simmered for 6 hours. Well, it turned out well in color, but it could have been better to taste.

Rita, I just poured milk from the refrigerator and left it on the maximum for 6 hours. made from 2l, boiled down by about 1cm. And Oksana made milk at a minimum, writes that it is better this way. I haven't tried it myself for a minute.

[Samopal]

Marish, thanks! Tomorrow I will buy some country milk and try to mute it. Interesting zhezh!
Today I cooked hedgehogs on a vegetable pillow. I left everything, and above these rice paddies. Great. 3 hours.
Oleg Samopal thanks for the idea .

[Marpl]

Marpl,
You can buy a second Kit and make 4 liters of milk.
Rituslya,
Rita, I immediately pour 2 liters of milk with a short shelf life and cook for 8 hours per MIN. It will begin to boil by itself, after about 6 hours.
I have this as a separate recipe, I took a picture of the foam there and lifted the lid when the film starts to bubble.



Samopal,
Oleg, how much was minced meat by weight in hedgehogs? 500-700 grams, or more?

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana, 2 sets of frozen pollock fillets (I found it delicious, after defrosting the liquid there is no smell at all), 650 gr. Well, let's say, 1kg 200g has reached the meat grinder, approximately. Another fillet of poultry breast 600 grams. Milk, 2 onions, spices. Add 150 grams of water to the saucepan and that's it.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker

I come to the conclusion that I have some kind of improved slow motion of the 21st century

Oksana, what model is it?

Kitfort disappeared at WB, I'll wait there for 1000)
I don't need it right now, I'm leaving. Buy by autumn)

[Samopal]

Samopal,
THANKS, I copied the words



orange,
Lena, this is KitFort 2010, a novelty on the market. If you have not found a common language with the traditional long-term, it is likely that it will suit you, as well as me. If the slugs do for you everything that you need and for your taste, perhaps KitFort will disappoint you ... everything is so individual



Samopal,
By the way, your idea is to make minced fish from fish and add turkey chicken.
So you can eat fish much more often than we eat. I also respect pollock very much

I got my pair of gnomes today, it's hard to say which one is prettier, both are such dolls.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana, congratulations, cool. I'm waiting for brown.

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksana, be sure to write about the test results of your babies

[Niarma]

Niarma,
There are recipes in the instructions for Tonza on a water bath, but in Chinese. Here I go, lick my lips, looking at the pictures.

And the clay kid made me laugh today .... I have him with claims.
This is the simplest, neatly cooked, compact slow-cooker soup-porridge with mechanical control. But on the box it was proudly stated

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Oksanaprobably meant that it works from electricity.

[Ksarochka]

Ksarochka,
There are three words, two are wrong




J.C. cooked buckwheat for us with the dog.
200 ml of buckwheat + 600 ml of water (it would be better if 500 ml of water)
2.5 hours on AUTO, then forced with butter and soy sauce (my part), mixed, turned off the device and left for 2 hours
Delicious!!!!
My Jin Cheng WX's pot size is 15A
1.2 l to the top, i.e. 800 ml usable volume.



Now the first impression of the TONZE DDZ-7B. In my, perhaps not correct, impression, it looks more like a double boiler than a water bath. Very delicate, but a double boiler, steam goes and the instructions contain more liquid than I would cook in a steam bath.
That is, a quarter of a measuring cup of rice and three times three quarters of a large glass of liquid. 1: 9.
I have now decided to try the rice pudding.
I took water with milk according to the instructions and almost a third of the measuring glass of rice.
I poured water into the reservoir up to the MAX mark, set the bowl, and covered it with a lid.

The lower right, with a bright red button, selected the BB (porridge) mode, and the one on top, pink, extended the time by 30 minutes. The device blinked and started working.
It boils with noise, I'm surprised that no one reported this. At night, I would not leave such a noise for myself. But maybe I was wrong where, for a new one.



I take the word delicate back, the sound from the sewing machine, the steam commands from the hole. This is definitely not a water bath, at least not in its slow-brewed view.

I'm waiting for two coolers

[brendabaker]

brendabakerwhy two? You've probably never seen how Russian words are written on Aliexpress. Laugh at their associations. And here only the letters were confused.

[Fotina]

And I kind of understood what the matter was. She took out the bowl and set it in a new way, but on a stand for boiling eggs. The noise disappeared



Fotina,
COOL !!!!! I mean, cool !!!





As a result, I got a viscous rice porridge



You can load 4/5 of the volume, that is, 560 ml

[brendabaker]

lengthened the time by 30 minutes.

brendabaker, Oksana, and what time did it end up?
