Slow cookers: model selection, features, reviews

2.5 hours seemed not enough

The smart book has the same potato, LOW mode - 8 hours.

[gawala]

gawala,
I, too, saw a recipe for potatoes in foil, they put them there at night, and in the morning everyone ate breakfast, filling the cut with their favorite filling, or sauce, as served in * Crumb Potato *



vernisag,
Ira, and you put on MAX and baked for 4 hours.
This means that Kitforth is a slow cooker

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, I don't know the exact time and program.
First I put it on high for an hour, but forgot, and the pot switched to warm itself. Remembered and turned on low. Approximate total time approx. 6 hours. The meat / vegetables have been pre-fried.
My 1.5-liter baby has already been sent (from England). I think it will be in 3-4 days.

Request for slow cooker recipes: specify PLEASE for Pot how much the number of products is given. THANK YOU!

gawala, Galina, Do you give recipes from this book? Slowcooker für Zwei: 80 neue Rezepte für den 1,5-l-Crocky

Do you give recipes from this book? Slowcooker für Zwei: 80 neue Rezepte für den 1,5-l-Crocky

Yes..

If you have the same, then make and lay out recipes. It will be remarkably simple.

[gawala]

gawala, and why should I buy if you are spreading it all ?!
But seriously, I have ordered another one.
But I rather need general principles and ideas. I do not cook according to recipes

I ordered another.

then show me which one.

ideas are needed.

There are no ideas, because the device is new and unknown for me, that's why I bought a book. So far, I only cook porridge with my eyes closed, well, potatoes with rosemary ..
I was bribed by the fact that the recipes were just for a little slow ... I have one and a half digger at home, so I don't need a big one ..

I have this one.

It seems that it is also a "one and a half digger". You can check it out on Amazon.

🔗

We are "three diggers". BUT: I have a big husband who loves to eat. And it's convenient for me to cook for two days. Moreover, all sorts of borscht and other Eintopf tastes better if cooked in large quantities.
I bought a small one for a side dish and porridge.

I looked. Well, you'll boast later about what you cook.

which is also "one and a half digger".

I did not mean the displacement of the slow, but the number of people living in the house.

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki, this is not a bottle, these are sachets with dry powder, you dilute them with water and in a salad.

how many!
I saw a whole Knorr brand shop in Munich. Or was it Maggi?

Beans in Kitfort 2010.
I pre-soaked 1 glass of dry beans for a day in cold water, changed the water several times.
Then I washed it, filled it with 4 glasses of clean cold water.
I cooked for 5 hours on MAX (I slightly raised the lid, placing a thin foil flagellum)
In the period from 3 to 3 hours, the temperature increased, then, from 3 to 4 hours, the water boiled three times, then the beans simply languished at a decreasing temperature. Very tender and all equally boiled, there is not a single one that has lost its shape.
I'm happy with the result.




Today they promised to send a graph of the temperature dependence when loading the bowl by 2/3, the previous graph was for a full bowl, so the water boiled for 5 hours

Ahhh, it's clear, then I look at my other parameters are obtained
I cook when loading 1/3 or half of the whole bowl.

[vernisag]

vernisag,
Ira, I will write the data when I receive it, let there be both graphs, many load the bowls to the very top, and not according to the instructions

[brendabaker]

brendabakerThanks for the mode reviews! They are great, they answer and give information.

Slow Cooker Temperature Chart Kitfort KT 2010

Well, yes, something like that, and if there is very little liquid, then after 1.5 hours it boils.

[vernisag]

vernisag,
On my own I will add that at MAX, Kitfort brings the water to a boil, then for about an hour the water boils for a short time, three times, then two hours (or maybe more) cooks at a falling temperature from small, rare gurgles to full calmness in the bowl
Tomorrow they will send measurements according to the MINIMUM mode



It is necessary to take these measurements somewhere separately so that they are not lost, because apart from Kitforth and Round Russell, there are no slow cookers on sale



Deana,
It is a pity that there are no such reviews for other slow cookers, they would be very helpful in adjusting the recipes for your model

You just need to open a new topic about Kitfort and place all the information on the first page, so as not to really mislead users of other slow cookers. Kitforth works quite differently. And then it turns out that according to the recipe from the whale, in other MVs the result will be completely different.
I often encountered when, according to my recipes, they cooked Panasonic in a multicooker in a multicooker and it didn't work out, since Panasonic cooks more delicately. With new, modern and more powerful cartoons is incomparable.

You just need to open a new topic about Kitfort

I support! By the way, the Tonze slow-cooker ordered on Tao turned out to be hot too, it works for me with a small 2-liter Kit, I changed my mind about parting with it.)) It didn't suit me for dairy porridges, it was too hot (and how to set a low temperature - it's not clear, the programs are laid down), but for another good!
And by the way, it has a ceramic lid with three plugs.
Here they are next:

Both tables for Kitforth put in a separate topic.
As for what Kitforth needs to open a separate topic, I'm not sure, I also broke off many times on other people's recipes, this is normal, with experience the flair comes to what my device can or cannot specifically (IMHO)




It seems to me that it is necessary to classify them somehow differently, so that it is clear which device we are talking about: a classic slug, or a modern hustler

Third round report.
Young potatoes with garlic and rosemary (from the garden). Will be eaten with herbal cottage cheese (Kräuterquark)
Preparing for Low approx. 6 hours. Maybe I was ready before, I didn't check. It's a pity that the smell is not transmitted via the Internet ...
Thank you Galina / gawala for the idea!

[igel _el]

igel _el,
What a cool potato and what a cool unit, since I could cook it even at the LOU

Young potatoes with garlic and rosemary Thanks to Galina / gawala for the idea

Appetizing tanned potatoes! This is not an idea, it's from a book .. I have nothing to do with it.

[gawala]

gawala,
And yet we all eat it and thank you

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, Thank you!
gawala, For me you were the source / transmitter of information

You were the source

Three sources and three components of Marxism

we all eat it

The main thing is that it's delicious!

Three sources and three components of Marxism

Not in the subject, but by association I remembered:
“Three chords, three chords
I'll play you proudly.
Three chords for us
Like Lenin, Engels and Marx "


P.S. And in the subject
Potatoes with cottage cheese dare! I did 1.5 kg. I thought it would be enough for two days. Naive! Two things left (Eaters - "three diggers")

[vernisag]

Potatoes with cottage cheese dare!

By the way, such a cream sauce is recommended for potatoes in foil (From a smart book, a recipe for sauce)
150g soft cottage cheese (Magerquark)
100gr. Cream-fresh
1 clove of garlic
salt pepper
1 tbsp. l chives, chopped for garnish.
Stir the cottage cheese, crème fraiche, add the garlic and salt, grated in a mortar until a delicate paste, punch through with a blender.



vernisag, Irin, can you issue a recipe for potatoes in foil and add the sauce there, which I wrote .. Let everything be in one place

[gawala]

gawala, Thank you.
These "sauces" I make without recipes for one or two from all kinds of herbs / spices.
Add fresh cucumber and parsley to your version.
I'm ashamed to admit, but today I took a ready-made Kräuterquark

Question: Why take low-fat cottage cheese (Magerquark) and add sour cream, if you can immediately take soft cottage cheese 20% or 40% fat?

What kind of "sauces" I make without recipes for one or two

Well, I brought the recipe from the book. maybe someone will come in handy, since the conversation is about potatoes in foil ..

Question:

This is not a question for me, but for the author of the recipe book.

Irin, can you make a recipe for potatoes in foil and sauce

Vapche I do not understand what is at stake
Galin, I already forgot how it's done

And I set the potatoes to bake.

your potatoes Yours .. here and formulate the recipe and add the sauce to the recipe ..

I also believe that potatoes in foil should become an independent recipe.

Why take low-fat cottage cheese (Magerquark) and add sour cream if you can immediately take soft cottage cheese of 20% or 40% fat?

When mixing low-fat cottage cheese and 20% sour cream, the fat content will be less. In this recipe, less than 10% is obtained. And the taste will be different than just soft curd.

[Ksarochka]

Ksarochka, it depends on what products. Crème fraîche, by definition, cannot be less than 30%. And soft cottage cheese in different regions (especially in different countries) will be different.
It seemed to me that Galina was giving a recipe from a German source, and based on local conditions, I decided that the actions were pointless. (I think that the author could not name one sentence as a recipe "add garlic to the curd and salt", therefore such difficulties)

AND on this topic:
A baby came in for 1.5 liters. The difference between a cheaper and more expensive unit is immediately visible.
For example, CrockPot's lid has a rubber seal, and Andrew James has no
I put rice porridge with apples in the kid. Waiting ...

It seemed to me that Galina was giving a recipe from a German source,

Well, naturally, from a clever book ..

with a rubber seal, and Andrew James without

On mine, too, without a seal. Well, nothing like that, cooks, soars ..

cover for CrockPot with rubber seal

Wow, what good fellows! My significantly cheaper CrockPot does not have a seal

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,
The seal for the lid can be bought separately, I saw that they are silicone and in different delicate colors

[brendabaker]

brendabaker, OksanaThanks for the tip. I'll think about it. On the one hand, the seal is good in that it will pick up faster and reach the required temperature, but then no one needs boiling, since the manufacturer did not initially provide for the presence of a seal on the lid ... So a double-edged sword

soft cottage cheese in different regions (especially in different countries) will be different

We have 0.1% cottage cheese.
Despite this, I still believe that a mixture of two different foods will give a different taste in a dish than if you only took one. Therefore, the actions are not meaningless))

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,
Or maybe, for example, there will be no heat leakage and the sensor will turn off earlier, preventing overheating?



I saw them somewhere like MOSKHOZTORGA or LARES, but I was confused by the blue, pink and orange colors. They are also sold for pots and pans. If I see it inexpensively, then I'll try to pull on Kitflrt



And on eBay there is one specifically for slow cookers



igel _el,
I would definitely not buy a can of sour cream, it is equal at the price of 2 kg of potatoes. Would whip up cottage cheese with seasonings

On the one hand, the seal is good in that it will pick up faster and reach the required temperature, but then no one needs boiling, since the manufacturer initially did not provide for the presence of a seal on the lid ...

I completely agree! In my opinion, in slow motion, the seal is optional, quite the opposite. The unit does not need to gain pressure, boil and splash out through the lid - even more so.

Virgo, this gum is not exactly a seal, it simply prevents the metal rim of the lid from knocking on the ceramic edge of the bowl and, of course, the lid lies more evenly on the bowl, even if there is a slight mismatch with the lid on the bowl. This bezel will in no way prevent the lid from lifting up and letting off steam if needed



I got so from National, the lid jumped, that a piece broke off the bowl

Today I got another slow cooker from Ozone)) Kitforth bought the two Kenwoods. Now I want 1.5 liters. Is it really possible to find one in the vastness of our Motherland?))

[kubanochka]

kubanochka,
Lena, I also want 1.5 liters and from my own open spaces, but so far I do not see such.
Congratulations on your purchase, even if it pleases me, Kitfort fell in love with me

I got so from National, the lid jumped, that a piece broke off the bowl

Was it so boiling ?! And what is the slow model?

Girls, did anyone order such a slow one on Ali? Just our coveted 1.5 liters.

I would like to know if it warms up very much, is it possible to cook milk porridge in it normally ...
Judging by the power of 140W indicated on the site, I should not scald, but who knows these Chinese.))

[real]

This bezel will in no way prevent the lid from lifting up and letting off steam if needed

at real slow cooker no boiling, 100 * is a short-term set of temperature on the HIHG.
AND snug fit of the lid is just a very prerequisite for slow brewing, because in each instruction for slowbrews indicate that frequent opening of the lid increases the cooking time.

In a quiet cooker Boy the lid is heavy, and fits extremely tightly on the bowl, sealing it. The lid fits into the bowl, no backlash. No holes in the lid.
And no "bouncing"

This topic has turned into a jumble of reviews of different devices that are not true slow cookers, they just have one of the modes keeping t below 100 *, and many multicooker have such modes.

] Girls, did anyone order such a slow one on Ali? Just our coveted 1.5 liters. [/ Quote]
I have been so slow for six months, it cooks like a slow cooker. Buckwheat on Hiqh is ready in an hour if you pour boiling water, in 1.5 hours if you pour cold water. It can be seen that it is boiling. Milk porridge oatmeal one portion is ready in an hour. And on Low I cooked vegetable stew and soup, the bowl was not completely filled, turned it on at 7 o'clock in the morning, turned it off for lunch, came in in the evening, the vegetables are all soft. Despite its nimbleness, I really like the porridge made from it, the taste is not the same as in a slow cooker, it tastes more stewed, and buckwheat turns out fluffy on the fast mode. It is necessary to connect to her an outlet with a timer.

[Elena8]

Elena8, Lena, thank you for responding! And on Low they cooked milk porridge in it, is it boiling?
If only there were no obvious boiling in this mode ...
And yet, please measure the diameter of the lid.

Luda, in the slow mode, it boils slightly somewhere in the third hour of the slow operation. Then the boiling stops. And I will definitely measure the lid, only in the evening, after work.



Luda, if you decide to order such a slow one, write to the seller to put an adapter for our sockets. They put an adapter for me.
