And the smell is intense when cooking? Do you need a hood? Or is it enough just to slide the cartoon out from under the wall cabinets?

And the smell is intense when cooking? Do you need a hood? Or is it enough just to slide the cartoon out from under the wall cabinets?

It depends on what you cook, as in any dish! I have it on the windowsill under the window, the smell has never interfered with it, I open the window only closer to the end of cooking (if baking, and if a double boiler, then how it will boil). I think with the hood as well, you can simply adapt it to the stove (one of the girls saw a plate for 2 rear combs) and turn on the hood when it starts to float. The main thing is to think over the on-off system, the girls advised an electric timer for the outlet, I think it is a very convenient thing if you leave the house or put it on at night!

In my opinion, a hood is not needed. and this is not a smell, but a soooooooo aroma !!! (y) Even if you didn't feel like eating, the gastric juice is secreted with great intensity !!!

Thanks for answers!
I’m already with the cartoon, and now I made pilaf according to the recipe from the "Murzilka"! Everything is great, delicious!
Girls, put the cartoon right on the stove (I have glass ceramics, so it's convenient to put it). She turned on the hood, because the steam was not weak, and the smell of stewed onions was. In general, I decided to put the cartoon on the stove, and only if something else was cooked at the same time, I would move it somewhere. And I decided to keep it on the refrigerator. I will get it and put it back
I have already washed it after cooking, everything is quick and convenient. Class!
I went to explore further

do you by any chance know the difference between the "stewing" and "baking" modes? temperature? and what is she like in each of them?

and yet - in one recipe I met a recommendation to mix, so as not ran away burnt ... do you mean stir right in the cooking process by opening the multi lid? or stop, shuffle, and start again? but can it be paused at all? I press heating / off. - so the program ends and that's it.

- baking and stewing differ in temperature and set time (baking maximum 65 min, if you need more according to the recipe, wait and add)
- you cannot open only with automatic modes (porridge, pilaf, buckwheat), with the rest you can (well, if you do not bake a biscuit, otherwise it will fall off) and if necessary you can carefully open so as not to burn yourself with steam and stir carefully so as not to scratch the saucepan
- it is not necessary to stop. , if the program is knocked down, just ask again for the remaining time

I have such, probably the stupidest question, but I cannot understand whether it is necessary in the "stewing" mode to cook any stew (meat, fish, stew), add water, as I usually do at home on the stove, here to For example, my favorite meat recipe is: beef, onion, carrot, salt, pepper, prunes.
beef - finely chopped, fry, onion + carrots, also a little simmered in a frying pan, then everything to a saucepan + salt, pepper and water! Simmer for 2.5 hours, add prunes in half an hour.

But, for a multicooker, I just can't figure out whether it is necessary to add water in the "quenching" mode or not? Please help, please.

I never add water when stewing. A lot of liquid is released from the product (meat, fish and even vegetables).

I just fry and transfer to stewing. This is how I make vegetable stews and roasts. And with meat and vegetarian. Everything turns out juicy and with gravy. Of course, who likes to have a lot of "sauce", then water can be added ...
But do not overdo it, MB does not allow moisture to evaporate, so how much you pour it will be.

Today I made in MV, a cottage cheese casserole from a prescription book for MV Panasonic, I did everything exactly according to the recipe, I have an electronic scale, I weighed everything, I did not retreat from the recipe, but I have nothing like your beautiful casseroles that are displayed here in the pictures, didn’t work, I don’t know why, it looks like a flat pancake, I was so upset, even though you don’t come near the MV anymore, please tell me what am I doing wrong? The mood was completely gone.

agata don't be upset, I think it was too fatty cottage cheese. In consistency, the curd mass should be thick, then it will not spread like a pancake. And try to sing in the oven while browning. Good luck

there are phased photos.
eg
write in the browser line 🔗 There will be an inscription in small print next to the search bar "language tools"... We press this line and get into the translator. And everything is simple there, we insert the necessary words into the window, select Japanese-Russian translation. And all
And just below the dictionary translation, there is a line where you can enter the address of the page and select, again Japanese, press the translation button.

[natalka, ukka, larimari, Qween]

natalka, ukka, larimari, Qween thanks girls! How grateful I am to all of you, dear girls, for the invaluable experience gained, both in a slow cooker and in a bread maker, I already made a fried chicken in it yesterday, then saved onion and celery with the released juice, and cooked buckwheat. In the morning, the man (emphasis on "and") asked to transfer to a bowl for the microwave. so while I was splashing in the bathroom, he ate half of it, said that the porridge was so tasty that he never ate that.
- many, as I can see, are worried about the problem of buying a pan, which means that they quickly fail, as I understand it, the coating suffers. Why be afraid? When buying, the seller warned me: "do not use a" native "scoop, I damaged it, better with a wooden or silicone spatula" What do you use, under what circumstances was the coating damaged?
- in many recipes there are, for example, ribs, meat on the bone, in this case, how to protect the coating while stirring?
-In some recipes I met "put a silicone mat on the bottom", what kind of rugs? specially sized or cropped for yourself?

Oh, so many questions at once.
Yes, the coating is scratched from the bones, but this does not affect the quality of cooking. Most likely, the pots are ordered - so that it was, and not because of the utter impossibility of using the old one.
In the new multicooker, with a dark coating (coal - as they say in the instructions), it seems to me that it does not scratch longer.
My first cartoon, with a gray coating, was scratched in the first month of use, although I tried to use it very carefully and only washed it with gentle sponges and mild products. And what is especially offensive, the coating from scratches began to spread further in shreds. And in a new one, even if it scratched somewhere, it doesn't go anywhere further. It seems to me more persistent.
In doing so, I use my own scoop and find it very convenient for a saucepan. I would not say that it damages the coating.
But I will not say about a silicone mat ... I do not use it and do not see the need for it.

[Aunt Besya]

-In some recipes I met "put a silicone mat on the bottom", what kind of rugs? specially sized or cropped for yourself?

Aunt Besya Congratulations on the "asleep" temporarily Wishlist! I think the cartoon will be a joy!
About rugs - silicone rugs, experienced girls said "not yappy" (some time ago I was interested so that you do not repeat my torment I am telling), you can non-stick mats from the Firebird (they are round with notches on the sides - expensive), a cheap option - buy teflon cloth - meter per .. somewhere 120-170r and cut it in the same way and use it up to 1000 times, if you don't find the link yet, I still use ordinary tracing paper (I cut it as well) only for baking, (I'm so calmer, many do not use), the saucepan is still intact, but I'm like a chicken and an egg with it, I don't trust anyone

here is a picture and a link to the store - there is such a rug 380r, but I also cut from tracing paper, and teflon cloth, I'm going to order

I have a dark coating in my cartoon and slightly noticeable scratches appeared after the first cooking, at first I was upset, but then I realized that they did not affect anything. Now there are more of them, but they are not all deep ... Naturally, I ordered the saucepan, but it is not known when it will arrive. He prepares the cartoon perfectly and there is no reason to be sad!
And for mixing I use silicone spatulas and wooden spoons.

[Umka!]

Umka! I, as a multicooker with three days of experience, cooked like this:
1. took out all the necessary vegetables and turned on the MB in the baking mode, poured 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.
2. Peeled cut carrots - there (fried slowly), then onions, celery stalk, beets (sprinkled with juice of half a lemon), Art. a spoonful of sugar, then Bulgarian pepper, tomatoes, garlic, spices (except bay leaves), salt, cabbage, potatoes, meat on the bone (well washed)
3. Turned off the baking mode, poured boiling water to an acceptable density, set it on the "stewing" mode for 3 hours.
After 2.5 hours I tried it, the beets were al dente, my husband doesn't like that, 3 hours turned out to be what we need.
Before ready, I threw lavrushka and beet juice for color. All!!

Judi, nelya
Cutlets in a multit can be fried on both sides with the lid open in the baking program, and then close the lid, let it sweat a little. You will get fried-steam delicious cutlets. Of course it's faster on the stove, but in the cartoon I do it more often, everything is clean, no splashes. I make cutlets for one meal, so there are multi laid out on the bottom, enough for my family.

I think I found the reason .. Maybe I have a glitch, but yesterday is the first day when I cooked in the cartoon and the washing machine did not work .. The thighs turned out to be very juicy and tasty. Maybe she really didn’t have enough tension when the washer was working ..

Girls, somewhere I caught my eye that the dough can be left after kneading to fit in a multicooker on heating, but I can't find where I read it. Does someone do this? How many minutes do you turn on the heating? Since there is no data on how many degrees in the mult when heated, the question arises, will the yeast die? It's just that now the heating has been turned off, the hot water has been turned off. but on the street 0 degrees would be very useful

If I'm not mistaken, the baba is left to approach for 20 minutes on the heating, and then turned off and another 40 minutes before baking, the lid is not opened.

[Aunt Besya]

Since there is no data on how many degrees are in the mult when heated, the question arises, will the yeast die?

Aunt Besya , I measured

Heating temperature after cooking after 6 hours - 70 radus

Therefore, it is better not to leave the dough on heating for more than 15-20 minutes.
She used to bake the rum woman like that - up to 20 minutes on heating, and then the heat kept on by itself - she went above the roof, nothing was killed.

[the essence of the question is this: how can you wash the bucket?]

Good afternoon everyone, I'm brand new. Well, that is, I have been reading the forum for probably half a year, but I have registered and am writing only now. Having read everything, I have had a Panasonic 255 bread maker for almost half a year now, and I am incredibly happy about it. And now the second day I have a Multechka (Panas 4.5L). So far, I have only been honored for porridge on a timer. I was happy as a child in the morning after hearing the alarm clock - the call of a mullet: "Dear household members, I ask everyone to go to breakfast." I love her just for that
the essence of the question is this: how can you wash the bucket? The fact is that at work I spend a huge amount of time, min for 12 hours. But on the other hand, I have many home helpers, including a dishwasher. Respected by me in absentia Admin wrote that he washes the bucket in the dishwasher. Maybe someone else as busy as me is also putting the precious bucket in the dishwasher? If possible, please share the details of how your bucket is doing? Does the coating peel off, does it scratch? The same question is relevant for me and in relation to the bucket of a bread machine. Maybe you can put it in the dishwasher too?
Or is it still better the old fashioned way - with handles and a soft sponge?

p.s. if this has already been discussed in detail - give me a link pliz, I did not find it. Well, that is, I found something, but there are probably only one answers to washing in the dishwasher, from Admin.

What do the instructions say?
Morphy richards dishwasher

Obligaciya !

Debate on washing the SD-255 bucket

starting from post 329 onwards.

The manufacturer recommends washing the multicooker bucket by hand using mild detergents. It takes time to wash ... 1 minute .... Why rinse in the PM for 1.5 hours?

A bucket of HP - only with your hands. There are important elements from below, they don't really need to be wetted ...

A saucepan from a multicooker - also only with your hands. Has cooled down, poured detergent, diluted with water - a soft sponge instantly clean.

In general, it is not recommended to wash Teflon in a dishwasher, unless otherwise specified. The multicooker pan has aluminum outside, it can also darken ...

So it's better with your hands, the dishwasher is better to let everything else wash

but I wanted to be completely lazy and put all the buckets in the dishwasher. Well, we'll wash it by hand. It's just that I also have a small sink, it's problematic to wash rather voluminous pots - the kitchen floor is in water. Well, okay, let's adapt. Moreover, the goal in this case justifies all the additional labor costs.

Yesterday I piled stewed vegetables with chicken in a cartoon. I was surprised that all the vegetables, even the sissy zucchini, remained absolutely intact - piece by piece, not mash. kla-a-ace! but with these considerations, it’s probably time for another topic.

[it is 4.5 liters, there is a label inside, I have it less]

Little girls! I bought a big cartoon for my sister-in-law as a gift for DR, calls and asks: why did you say that it is 4.5 liters, there is a label inside, I have it less... I began to look in mine and did not understand either what are the labels inside and what do they mean ???

Aunt Besya, and read the instructions, neither she nor you are going to?
The instructions describe these risks in several places and explain how to use them.
They have nothing to do with the volume of the pan, pour water according to the upper measure, as recommended, measure its volume, this will be the maximum volume of the pan ~ 4 liters ...

Actually, not about the recipe for stewed potatoes, but about the bewilderment that arose during the cooking process
Onions and carrots in the "baking" mode were sautéed, a can of stew was added, after the fat had dissipated, potatoes were added, cut partly into strips, and partly into 2x2 pieces (I love when the pieces are among the boiled mass), salted-pepper-flavored with spices , added 70 grams of boiling water and put on the "Quenching" mode for 1.5 hours.
After 1.5 hours the potatoes are completely hard, 2 hours are added After 2 hours the potatoes are still hard Added another 1 hour and only then the desired result is achieved !!!
Vkusnoteevo !!!
But time !! 4.5 hours !!! Maybe my mule is crazy ???

Or maybe you got such a potato? Or proven? I got it several times on this one, you cook, cook, but it is hard. The funniest thing is if the mixture is normal potatoes and firm potatoes in one saucepan.

Aunt Besya with the mule is all right, this is such a potato, I have already come across this, I cooked for 2 hours, it is all oak and in addition not tasty.

Yes, like potatoes from my summer cottage, a new harvest. Somehow I am inclined that the matter is in the amount of liquid ... Quenching, after all, involves a certain amount of liquid and a weak "gurgling", but there was nothing to gurgle, the whole liquid is 70 grams of water and condensate formed.Maybe it was necessary to do it in the "baking" mode. In general, information for thought ...

Aunt Besya, no problem, potatoes for 40 minutes of "Baking", stirring occasionally, and delicious (like 3 hours in the oven) potatoes are ready ... I do it myself

Freshly harvested potatoes are not very good for stewing and mashed potatoes. It is still hard for such dishes.
He needs to "lie down" for two or three months and he will prepare as you need.
In the meantime - endure or cook something else.

Freshly harvested potatoes are not very good for stewing and mashed potatoes.

in Israel the potato grows all year round and is not stored for a long time - it will rot. We eat fresh all year round, and cook, and fry, and carcass. Mashed potatoes are always remarkable .. if you don't come across a watery and mild one, it happens, but this sort is so evident.

Potatoes are different ...
Our. Russian, most often the first two or three months is not particularly suitable for mashed potatoes and stewing (no, you can do it, but it takes longer to cook and stew).
But the imported one is always "normal" for some reason. Maybe it lies somewhere before getting to us, maybe the land and climate there is better ... I don't know.

nothing like this!
it all depends on the variety, there are salad varieties, they do not boil
I cook in a mule like this - I peel potatoes, large in half, small in whole, salt, spices, a little oil, I put everything on the bottom of the pan, and on top there are frozen cutlets.
program "pilaf", the potato just crumbles and it seems to me that the time can even be reduced

Hello everyone! Today I also became the proud owner of "multi" Yu, but I don't know what to do with her. I bought it on the basis that I do not like to cook and that she cooks herself, you just need to pack the food)))
Question number 1. If you put milk porridge in the morning in the evening. milk will not turn sour?
Question number 2. In all the recipes, the multi size is not indicated, I bought myself a small one, since there are two of us, how can I navigate the forum recipes? Everyone has different multi)))
Question number 3. I love meat dishes, can I safely use a multicooker to cook meat, because meat can be different and different cooking times under normal conditions, how should I do with a cartoon in this case?

But yesterday I stewed Vologda potatoes, so after 2.5 hours of stewing it remained mostly crispy and firm.

Here are wonderful people. Proven recipes are offered, no, they still put on stewing. For that matter, not a word is said about potatoes in the instructions (the multicooker is not to blame), it has already been invented and triedso why reinvent the wheel

Wow! For those who have not read the instructions - a quote.
P. The 25 instructions for the Panasonic SR-TMH18 MB reads:

"Recipes for the Stew program"
"Home-style roast".
1. Cut the meat into medium pieces, like for goulash.
2. Onions - medium cubes or half rings.
3. Potatoes - large (4 - 6 parts, depending on the size of the tuber).
...
7. Cook in mode Extinguishing 2 hours.

And who is "wonderful" here?

But yesterday I stewed Vologda potatoes, so after 2.5 hours of stewing it remained mostly crispy and firm.

Tell me, did you add tomatoes or tomato paste to these potatoes? I know from experience only one reason for this behavior of potatoes after prolonged stewing is the tomatoes in the dish - they inhibit the preparation of potatoes and that is why they are added to potato dishes at the end of cooking. Otherwise, after 2.5 hours of cooking, the potatoes should have been ready!

Wow! For those who have not read the instructions - a quote.
P.25 of the manual for the Panasonic SR-TMH18 MV reads: And who is "wonderful"?

You know, there is no right or wrong here! Celestina has had a cartoon for a long time, like me and in the instructions on page 25, completely different information - there is a table of cooking times for steam and a recipe for meat soufflé with pistachios. There is really not a word about potatoes in our instructions! And for the Stewing program, there are only 3 recipes - lamb stew, chicken satsivi and lecho! But your cartoon is new and I have no doubt that the clever Japanese have already adopted the proven recipes of Russian members of the forum and supplemented their instructions with them.

I read it and thought, I also have oak potatoes, and I really like to cook meat with potatoes, and also with onions and carrots (even with tomatoes sometimes), but so that no water is added at all. So, scientific analysis has shown that stewing potatoes are oak even with chicken legs that release a lot of "juice". And on Plov it turns out great, even despite the presence of tomatoes from the very beginning. I do not pretend to be absolute truth, but I noticed such a pattern

Initially, I dreamed of using a multicooker to cook my favorite dish - branded stew, because, unlike my gas oven: - Quenching for 4 hours on a small fire is safer in a multitude. But .. stewed potatoes in a cartoon and in an oven are two huge differences. In the cartoon, well, no matter how it turns out so languid. And here the potatoes are clearly not 100% to blame, but in the oven, the result depends on the dishes in which they cook. But everything else in the cartoon is much better than in the oven.

Today I decided to cook pilaf according to the recipe from the forum))) I started to fry the chicken breast in the "baking" mode, found that the top lid also does not heat up in this mode, I decided to close it. after I opened it. nothing happened to me))) I thought. that the cartoon broke))) When I turned on the baking mode in a new way, it kind of began to fry))) By the way, I don't fry as quickly as in a frying pan)))
When I was making fish in pilaf mode, for some reason it didn’t turn off for me and didn’t go into heating mode, although the display showed zero time))) Who will tell you what the problem is? Or carry it to the store and scandal that the defective cartoon got caught?)))

oops ... it was me, shameless, who couldn’t come to my computer ... I confess, I will no longer (but there was a good reason)
1. In the "baking" mode, you can freely open and close the lid, the frying process does not stop.
2.in the cartoon will not be faster, but it turns off by itself
3. I do not know from what moment the countdown starts in the "pilaf" mode, but for example, in the "steaming" mode, the countdown starts only from the moment the water boils in the pan. and in extinguishing, the countdown by the minute is turned on only at the last hour, and until that moment it is shown only for half an hour (2.5 hours, 2.0 hours, 1.5 hours, 60 minutes, 59 minutes, etc.).
in general, the cartoon is not defective, there is no need to swear yet

Hello! I'd like to know how much electricity this beautiful machine takes ?! I ask those who often cook in it to answer! Thank you

Small model - 600 watts maximum. 105 watts - heating.
In total, baking a cake, honey cake or pudding - about 1 kW * hour, stewing (long, three to four hours) - about 1 kW * hour. Keeping on heating for 1 hour - 0.1 kW * hour. Porridge ... depends on the portion. Two servings of oatmeal - about 0.3 kWh.

Thank you very much for your reply! Although I wanted to hear from the point of view of practice: in money for a month, has the expense increased much in connection with the use of CF (frequent)?

It depends on how you are cooking now. If on a gas stove - it will decrease, if on an electric stove - it will increase, if in a microwave stove ... it will also decrease ...
In general terms, cooking a dish requires heat (X calories). All equipment differs in efficiency (efficiency). An electric stove will have less, and a multicooker will have more.Despite the fact that the heat consumption of the electric stove is higher (calories per hour), the amount of calories consumed will be the same, with the exception of the difference in efficiency, or rather, heat loss.

Ufffffffffff ... Something skidded me ... Probably, it was me on slow cookers so accelerated that I can not stop ...

Girls joining the ranks of the Cartoons! Will you accept?
On the first day, when the cartoon was brought home, we tried to fry potatoes in the "Baking" mode for 45 minutes. ... The first pancake turned out to be lumpy. The potatoes were not fried, they were stewed, and in some places they were damp. But nothing, you just need to take time and read how to properly fry potatoes.
Second sample, milk porridge with raisins from Admin. Delicious!
I haven't decided what to try next

Welcome! Tell me, did you stir the potatoes when they were cooking?
