Is it time to change my multicooker?

Good day! Please, tell me and help me decide. I just can't decide for myself whether I need a new slow cooker or, well, her. Already read a thousand posts, zero sense .. I now have the very first Panasonic, she is already 10 years old, but works flawlessly. The new multi is the same multicooker as mine, just a different design? Or are they really different in many ways? Is it worth it? Controlling from the phone doesn't interest me hehe. And if you take, what kind of multicooker?

The pressure cooker doesn't seem to be really needed. Moreover, I read that all modes in pressure cookers differ only in name, because under pressure they are all the same. Plus, in a pressure cooker, it's embarrassing that you can't open the lid until you release the pressure, it takes time to raise this pressure, which doesn't really reduce the cooking time, and I don't know if this accelerated cooking is really necessary.

While I'm leaning towards inexpensive models, such as Polaris or Marta. I see no reason to overpay for a name, when the result is the same thing. Or are all these new models nonsense, because many modes are not used anyway, that is, I will change the awl for soap?

Thank you very much!

Jae, the pressure cooker cooks faster, it's very convenient. In terms of budget, this is everyone's choice. People use very different multicooker on the bread maker, in my opinion there are no dissatisfied.

You need to take a pressure cooker with a manual mode so that you can set the time and temperature you need to cook Su vid and yoghurts, use it as a slow cooker, and bake biscuits in it. And the valve can always be left open. It is better to buy a multifunctional one, albeit more expensive, but the choice of modes will be greater and, accordingly, opportunities. Good luck!

We must take a pressure cooker with manual mode

And what brand?

Yes, even Stebka, even Orsson!

Yes, even Stebka, even Orsson!

We don't seem to have Orsson. The staff can be bought .. I'm puzzled now too. I gave my multicooker to the child .. I showed it to my husband Steb, he didn’t believe that they produce it themselves in Germany. I found a report with a photo on the forum. showed him .. I was surprised that they themselves are doing, and not in China ... In general, while I think. Maybe some kind of business trip will be on the other side, they can drop in and buy straight from the factory.

Jaedepends on what you want from the appliance. Modern multi-cookers (and pressure cookers) have extended functionality - you can take it with a yogurt-type mode (low temperature 30g), all kinds of delayed starts and timers, manual adjustment of time, temperature, the presence of auto-heating or its cancellation ...
Pressure cooker ... It is a good way to save time on cooking products that require long-term temperature processing - jellied meat, legumes, meat, beets and other hard vegetables. If you put food at room temperature and fill it with boiling water, the pressure builds up in 5-7 minutes. Further, for cooking rice with chicken, for example, it will take 12 minutes, jellied meat - an hour, beets - 30 minutes. You can cook as in a multicooker - without pressure, with an open valve, then you don't need to wait for the pressure to release.
If you don't need anything more than what your multicooker can do, but it works fine, then there is no point in changing it.

gawalaGal, is it my reportage?
Wonderful trip to Bamberg, visiting "Steba" plant and other cities of Germany

Gal, is it my reportage?

Yeah .... (y) Husband appreciated. I watched all the photos with great interest. And where the factory and the production process are shown, he looked at everything almost foolishly.

Oooh, and mine was high there! He is a former design engineer - he got his hands on the machines!

He is a former design engineer - he got his hands on the machines!

Well, mine, too, would have seized .. He does not need bread, but let me see the equipment!
Bring the broken spaceship to him, fix it, there's nothing to do. But on the other hand, in mobile phones, he understands nothing and does not have it ..

Girls, thanks for responding! In the cartoon, I mainly cook soups, stew vegetables with meat, pilaf, bake pies, cook porridge .. I don't make jelly. I cook beets on the stove. I like that you can not only throw everything and leave so that food is already ready for the arrival, but also the opportunity to open, interfere, see if you need to change the mode or time, maybe the cook from me is still the same)))) In the new cartoons I am attracted by the ability to change the temperature, 3d heating, more modes, but whether this is so important, and most importantly, whether I will notice a positive difference in use, it is still unclear.

"You never know the taste of a cake without tasting it." This is one ... And two is - having bought an advanced device, you decently expand your horizons ... culinary ones as well. ,
And money is just an assistant. "Good - it can't be cheap." The joy of spending little money passes quickly, and the disappointment of a low-quality device is forever. IMHO.
I am very glad to be on this site !!! Many thanks to everyone!

Good - it can't be cheap

I don’t agree (we’re chasing stocks every now and then, and we buy why pay extra)

everything and always was decided by the wallet, from a reasonable hostess he is the main adviser, and not a desire to buy something like that, very expensive and a priori the best, although there are many such people

there is an opportunity to buy an expensive thing - thank God! go and buy

there is no opportunity (or desire) to spend a lot of money - we choose the right one, right now there is such a price range for equipment that, I think, any wallet will agree

I do not have expensive equipment, as well as a lot of money, and I manage perfectly in the kitchen with all my beloved and valued assistants

Jae, and cartoons are in fact all the same = knowing the temperature regimes, you can cook everything on 4-6 programs, by the way Panasonic10 just with 6 programs = and he is a favorite, Redmond02 and 01 = also not 20 plus programs = we cook everything

the * simplest * cartoon will cook, bake, extinguish, but what can I say - you yourself only know sometimes by * simplicity * not a high price is meant

I have a large cartoon for 20 programs - I use all the same basic 4-6

Yesterday we were visiting .. we talked with the hostess, a lady of 68 years old. Well, I say that I’ll take my daughter a slow cooker, she said she asked .. The hostess at first let it go, and then caught herself and asked, what is this “Multicooker”, they say I have never heard of such a .. Well, I am in my arms and on the Internet .. Let's show what it is about this .. explain how and what works .. In general, "Oh, how many wonderful discoveries we have, the spirit prepares enlightenment ..." I printed out about the multicooker, about the multi-pressure cooker, gave her a tip to Shteba, will now study. But they are unlikely to buy ... They are afraid of everything new unknown here ...

Yesterday we were visiting .. we talked with the hostess, a lady of 68 years old.

My mom is 72, Panasonic has been working for her for 4 years without downtime. At first she was also worried, but now she praises all the old women. Everyone, too, asks first, not who buy. Well, then they store it in a box.

[Myrtle]

Myrtle, You know, this is the mentality after all. If our people are interested in everything, new, unknown, then here are conservatives in everything .. If their ancestors planted cucumbers 1 m long, then they will plant exactly the same, and their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren ... And when you show a cucumber 9 cm long, then they look at it as miraculous and funny to say, be afraid to bite it off .. Because the stereotype is that once a cucumber is small, it should only be pickled in a jar and sold in this form .. And the fact that fresh can be grown and to eat, it does not come to mind ... But when they try ... and ask them to say where I bought the seeds .. and as far as I know, one such lady now plants only such cucumbers and calls them Russians ..We bring knowledge to the masses ...

We bring knowledge to the masses ...

I also disagree that the price is everything. The price of promoted brands also includes payment for the "name", and this markup is not small at all. If everything works as it should, then I don't care what is on the nameplate.

Probably, for constant use, several modes on the multi are quite enough for me. I can manage somehow now, and even without any special problems. In theory, a multi-cook function, where you can manually change the temperature, would be convenient, for example, for baking. I can't think of an application for it anymore)) Girls, how do you use this function and what for? Is the temperature set clearly, like in an oven, or approximately? In general, is this function useful or so, to indulge?

Another question, which bowl is better: Teflon or ceramic? Many reviews write that food begins to stick to ceramics after a while. Now I have Teflon, there are no such problems at all. I thought ceramics was better, but after reading the reviews, I start to doubt.

Another question, which cup is better:

I have 5L two bowls = native ceramics + purchased Teflon

and which do not have a ceramic (or Teflon) twin = there is a spare wheel

Oh, is it true that almost no multicooker now has sensory programs like in Panasonic (milk porridge, pilaf and buckwheat)? And everywhere you need to set the cooking time yourself?

I will not tell you about milk porridge, it seems that only in Panasonic and Toshiba this program is sensory (but Toshiba is no longer brought to Russia). Sensory Rice and Plov are also found in other CFs, for example, in Phillips.

There are no such programs in the staff (pressure cooker). You need to set the cooking time and pressure yourself.

Yes, sadness ((

[Jae]

Jae, I rarely participate in discussions recently due to workload. But after seeing your message, I decided to share my observation. This is just my opinion and experience. I have several multicooker: Panasonic 18, Toshiba small (I don't remember the model), Brand multi / soon / smokehouse, Jamie Oliver's Homecooker. I used Panasonic for milk porridge, Toshiba for rice and also for some dishes, actively Homecooker. I also bought an induction multicooker Sigmund and Stein. Here she works for me every day. It has wonderful programs for frying, milk porridge, steaming, multi-cook and a lot more. Here, read the topic, it may interest you. https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=390819.0
Good luck with your choice!
And many touch programs with a preset time, but it can be changed. So, for example, milk porridge 30 minutes for millet is great, for oats I put 50 minutes ... for rice 40 ...

[Jae]

Jae,

Oh, it's true that almost no multicooker now has touch programs,

- no, it's not true.

In the brandyushka there is - in all models, in the little Redmond there is also.

And what do you mean by "touch" programs?

In the touch mode, as the inventors of all multicooker, the Japanese, conceived, only the "Rice" program works, the rest - auto.

["Made in P. R. C."]

I showed it to my husband Steb, he did not believe that they produce themselves in Germany. I found a report with a photo on the forum. showed him .. I was surprised that they themselves are doing, and not in China ... In general, while I think. Maybe some kind of business trip will be on the other side, they can drop in and buy straight from the factory.

My husband appreciated it. I watched all the photos with great interest. And where the factory and the production process are shown, he looked at everything almost foolishly.

Hmm ... You soooo surprised me that I went my Shtebu turned over. Well, yes, everything is correct, it says on the bottom "Made in P. R. C.", which in Russian means Made in China.
Or are you talking about the popular red lid pressure cooker?

in Binaton little all the programs are sensory except for yogurt and soup

How much is small multi? I need 4.5-5 liters. Redmond looked at 5L, I could not find any sensor programs anywhere. Bad looking? Beanaton hasn't looked at all yet.

Sensory programs - I have buckwheat, pilaf and milk porridge. On pilaf, for example, it turns off when all the water boils away.

Tell me about the difference between touch programs and cars. Auto, as I understand it, pre-installed programs with time and temperature. Sensory - which have sensors (humidity?). Only the temperature is preset, and the time of the machine itself varies.

How much is small multi?

Binatoshka 1.6 liters. Tiddly. True, the milk porridge in it is not very good, but everything else is very good.

Thank you, 1.6 liters is just a baby. Need more))

In the end, I stopped at four models: polaris 5017, marta 1989, zigmund shtain ds42 and redmond 300. The last two are induction. Induction is great, but it costs twice as much. I would like these multi to be twice as good as usual. I want a lot? Or is it so? What is the difference between redmond and sigmund, and which one is better to take? The same question about heating elements multi. If you choose between March and polaris, which one should you prefer?

Oh .... the girl's advice is needed! I have a regular budget cartoon for 3 years. I'm not overjoyed. Everything is great, biscuits shine. But yesterday, for her birthday, my mother asked me to bake 2 biscuits for her. The first one with a bang, I put the second one, but it didn't fit as well as the first one. I got up this morning, let me think I'll bake it again - there is time, but instead of the usual fluffy biscuit, a pancake came out ... What is it? Maybe my multi end has come ... how to check? who had that?
