Choosing a multicooker

That's what I found at the office. website in the description of the multicooker-pressure cooker.
Is it a hybrid?

MARTA MT-4310 is completed with a THICK-WALLED bowl with a German polymer-ceramic coating GREBLON® C3 +. The main feature of the MARTA MT-4310 model is that it is a versatile device that combines the functions of a multicooker and a pressure cooker. It has programs that use the technology of cooking under pressure, and there are programs inherent in simple multicooker, in which cooking takes place without pressure.
Your dish will never burn, it will retain its taste, aroma and vitamins. The TOUCH control will allow you to easily manage 45 cooking programs, of which 21 are fully automatic: 15 work in pressure cooker mode, and 6 in multicooker mode. The remaining 24 programs are configured manually. And for the full disclosure of culinary talent - the MULTIPOOK program in combination with the CHEF program and the CHEF PRO function! Discover new culinary possibilities with the MARTA pressure cookers!

Victoria, well, well, yes, she prepares other models, both under pressure and without, but there is just linear heating on the programs. And in multicooker, the programs are completely different, there, on each program, there is a certain temperature algorithm, adjusted for certain dishes. And there are sensory programs, without setting the time, which work until the liquid is completely boiled away and turn off. And when, such a multicooker, with clever programs, is also able to cook under pressure, I call such a model a hybrid.

In pressure cookers, after all, the main task is to bring to a boil so that the valve closes and everything. There, programs are not needed, they all work at the same temperature, just change the time. There are, of course, where you can change the pressure. And 2 and 4-6 pressure levels, but personally I, I do not see the point in this, there is no

That's how good it is to communicate with an intelligent person! Ira, I feel that you understand everything so well, you open my eyes straight to me! Ira, Can you give me at least a few of these hybrid multicooker as an example? So that I was already guided what should I look for in the description? Well, so that some understanding comes?
I really think maybe I only need a multicooker, without a pressure cooker, since there are such "smart" programs?
Although no, broth under pressure is much better than in the old Panas. And faster. Well, the stew there, boiled meat. A pressure cooker is also needed. But I don't want to buy two devices at once, maybe later. It's good that there are such hybrid devices and it's good that there are kind people who are ready to advise on time!

Vika, my girlfriend, bought herself a budget pressure cooker and a cartoon cheap and happy Polaris pressure cooker was then 1800 rubles in total and a cartoon is a little more expensive, this is such a pressure cooker.
Pressure cooker Polaris PPC 0305AD (reviews)

Here's an example of a hybrid. models, read the topics, reviews on the market, maybe you like it. There are other similar models.

Multicooker-pressure cooker Polaris PPC 0705AD
Multi-cooker-pressure cooker Moulinex CE502832
Multicooker-pressure cooker REDMOND RMC-P350

I don't have these multicooker and I can't say specifically, I need to read user reviews and analyze.
I have a cuckoo and I love her although she also has disadvantages.

Irish, thank you very much! I will read and delve into.
Just yesterday I watched such a Mulka in M-Video, I liked it very much in appearance and the action was just, instead of 14,000 now it is 7,000 rubles. in Mvideo.
I also thought about Redmond 350, I also liked it outwardly, though I haven't seen it live yet. And there is a little mistrust of the firm itself. Maybe in vain?

[Smurfie]

There, programs are not needed either, they all work at the same temperature, just change the time.

No, Irish, programs are needed, they are different and you prepare different things for them.
Depends on the pressure cooker, of course.
Smurfie, VictoriaYou are right, for example, broth, for example, I also like more from SV, faster and tastier. All kinds of meat. Delicious soups / borscht are cooked for 95 grams. I like vegetables more in MV. Porridge, side dishes and dairy, in general, are the same.
Why I told you Brand 6051 and advised that he and Orson are very similar, only the bowl let him down. These pressure cookers are different with Kuku and Bork.
And by the way, I like the principle of work in Orson and Brand more.

Yes, but have you read the topic about Shteba? Many people love and praise her.

Added Wednesday 14 Dec 2016 06:27 PM

Maybe in vain?

Not in vain)

Irina-Repeshok, but can you be more specific? about Brand, Orson and Bork. Where is the best working principle? Is it worse in Bork?

Otherwise I got sick with Borcom u-700 - u-800, at first I thought about overpaying for the brand, but when I looked at the reviews and videos, I realized that it was completely different, at least that it was inductive, like cuckoos. I really wanted to. But priceaa! You can't buy it right away, you have to save up.
Do you have it? Bork? Overall, are you satisfied? Or is it not ideal either?
I just remembered that the Bork kettle worked for us for 10 years, when it broke down, my husband was seriously going to buy exactly the same one! And he did not scare him that he was no longer worth 3 but 10 thousand! He explained that you can pay for quality. But I got so tired of this design over the years that again I didn't want twenty-five at all. In the end, I bought another.

Added Thursday, 15 Dec 2016 00:28

And of course I read about Shteba, I read a lot, he was my main contender when I was choosing between him and Ourson. As a result, I listened to my daughter's opinion, she liked Ourson's design more, and even ran into the action and bought Ourson two years ago.
And then I advised Steba to a friend, so as I come to her, I see Steba. And I hear reviews about him.

about Brand, Orson and Bork. Where is the best working principle? Is it worse in Bork?

He is no worse, he is different.
In Orson and Brand, the float closes when the liquid boils, that is, it takes 10-15 minutes, depending on what is being prepared.
And in kuku and bork, the valve closes immediately
That is, you can't open the lid if you suddenly remembered after 2 minutes that you forgot to put something.

The pressure in the drill / cookie is released immediately after the end of the program and there is no need to wait, as in the Orson / brand.
On the one hand, this is good and faster, on the other hand, if there is something liquid, broth / soup, for example, there is a chance that the liquid will splash out when the pressure is released, the liquid, of course, will go into the drip tray, but this moment is not for me personally very pleasant.

Why the moment with the release of the liquid is not pleasant: The pressure valve in the boron / kuku is complicated, God forbid that something gets there, you need to monitor it strictly.
The most convenient and simple valve in the brand, in general it is the simplest to maintain. I don't like the valve in Orson, everything is not well thought out there. Perhaps I just don't use it much.

By the way, I like Bork more than cookies. Somehow it is made smarter and the parsing of the cover is more convenient.

In general, these SVs are different.

Bork? Overall, are you satisfied? Or is it not ideal either?

I am happy with Bork, somehow everything is clear and convenient in it. And delicious. But I don't cook liquid in it, I wrote the reasons above.

The ideal for me is Panasonic 10 and 18, to be honest. Real multicooker, simple, clear and convenient.

I like the SV brand, in principle, but the cup is bad there. I also like Bork SV, but .... I wrote above.
Or is it just me bothering so much)

Ira, thanks for the detailed answer! Helpful information!

Now there is a very large selection of multicooker pressure cookers. The very first cartoon, and this was in early 2013. I chose with the function of a pressure cooker, and it was Land Life 6 liters. I use it all the time and am very happy, it has all the programs I need - soup, porridge, rice, chicken, beef, pastries, frying, yogurt and jellied meat, there is also a timer and temperature control. The cover is completely removable and washable.And what is important, you can easily purchase additional bowls, which I did by purchasing a stainless steel bowl (I mainly cook in it). Soon for 4 years now I have been using it to the fullest, and it is as good as new. Recently, I just replaced the valve that holds pressure (the issue price is only 400 rubles, they were sent from Lipetsk, where ARS is produced, by the way, they have New Year's sales there now). I was already thinking about purchasing a new multicooker-pressure cooker and just as you monitored the market and stopped at a 6L Shteba, which would have been matched by my bowls, but only bought a valve for 400r. So my first purchase was very successful. I bought the second multicooker-pressure cooker Vitesse, also for 6 liters, but with a smoking function, it is with 2 bowls. I like multicooker-pressure cookers more, they cook much faster. Although many write that time is comparable to multicooker. In SV, jellied meat is ready in 70 minutes, soup in 20 minutes, legumes in 40 minutes, and what without pressure is the same. I also use multicooker, but this is when it's time for the carriage or I cook porridge in the morning. Although many people like to open the lids, watch, interfere during cooking in the MV, and you cannot do this in the pressure mode, you can open it only after cooking, after waiting for the pressure to drop or forcibly releasing it. And cooking meat, jellied meat, legumes cannot be compared in time in SV and MV. What to choose is up to you, and we can only express our opinion.

[Zhenya]

Zhenya, here is the topic about this slow cooker. True, there is not much there.

thanks .. ran ...
understandable .. no users yet .. sadness

Marina-Marpl! Thanks for your feedback too. You are right, to listen to the opinion and of course I decide. So I am still in throwing. I am in a hurry, because the New Year is on the nose and other holidays. I think I can still buy a not very expensive pressure cooker, and after the New Year holidays, it is already thoughtfully and carefully to choose a multifunctional device, preferably with induction.

[Polaris PPC 0605AD]

I think I can buy a not very expensive pressure cooker for now,

Check out the latest from Palaris, cute pressure cooker. Palaris programs are always well tuned from 4990 rubles, I didn't find cheap ones

10 cooking programs under pressure and 9 programs without pressure

That's right, buy at first not expensive, and then decide whether you need induction, which is much more expensive. Even the simplest pressure cooker cooks very quickly, and the one proposed above is even very decent in terms of a set of programs and a price, everything you need to eat. Take it and try it. For me, the less bells and whistles in technology, the more reliable it is. Simple multi-cookers, but with the programs I needed, plow flawlessly, and the heaped ones refused to work before the end of the warranty period, they managed to fix it. Bribe a stainless steel bowl for a pressure cooker and cook any dishes, and then decide whether you need induction.

Comrades, help me choose the PENS model of the multicooker. The topic has grown so much that it is no longer possible to physically perceive all this, so I ask you to suggest by the criteria (I list in order of importance):
1. Easy to operate for the elderly. Directly completely without intellectual activity. Clicked on chicken - cooks chicken ...
2. Security;
3. Functionality.

What size? There are from 1.6 liters to 6 liters.

[tem]

tem, where are you from? (otherwise the girls will advise, but in your area this manufacturer may not be on sale)
within what amount should the cartoon cost? displacement?

What size?

Anyone ...

tem, where are you from? (otherwise the girls will advise, but in your area this manufacturer may not be on sale)
within what amount should the cartoon cost? displacement?

Our area has everything. We are Moscow. There is no understanding for the price. Maybe in region 5, but if there are any significant functions within the specified criteria that strongly affect the price, then it can be more expensive. Displacement is also not fundamental.

[tem]

tem, do you need a frying program?
Look at such a simple, high-quality multicooker, excellent bowl coverage, 4 liters, all the necessary programs are there. Price from 4.5 thousand rubles.

Multicooker Philips HD4726 / 03

Well, or another phillips, but their prices are already biting

Well, or another phillips

Irish, I have 3095, I would not recommend it to an elderly person, it is too capricious touch control. For an elderly person, a button is more convenient, where it will be written "porridge", "meat", "soup", etc.

Yes? And I didn’t know that it was a touchscreen. Touch menu, yes, not a very pleasant addition. My stadler has a sensor, of course I'm used to it, but I like the buttons more
Philips HD4726 / 03 has very convenient buttons

Nuuu, nope She cooks just sooooo long and tedious I'm afraid they'll want to throw it out the window after the first use
My mom would definitely want her 66 years old, but she loves everything fast

She cooks just sooooo long and boring

in the subject, the reviews about it are opposite!

Condensation drips onto the rim. For baking, I have never merged.
Nice little cartoon.
My mom really likes it.
Then I bought this as a gift and it will be almost a year already, I asked and said that everything is ok!

You can cook porridge on stewing, it will take 25 minutes. But in this mv, extinguishing is more active than in other Panasonic, you will have to look. Or, alternatively, grease a saucepan with butter and cook the porridge with plenty of water.

I cook porridge in such a slow cooker for the morning. The soup is cooked like all 1 hour, this is an ordinary cartoon, not a pressure cooker, but the keys are large and you can see what is written. And in little Redmond, you can only look at the menu through a magnifying glass, although that's fine for 2 people.

Uh-huh, this is also about her

In short, I took my PANASONIK, put it neatly in his box and took it to the trash heap.
May the Lord give it to the one to whom it will be in joy.
And let this mistake of mine remain in the past.

Girls, thanks for the kind words. and for support.
Let her not gather dust in the closet unnecessary and unloved, but find herself an owner who can correctly assess her

Right away in the trash, I put mine after buying the baby Filipka on the mezzanine, then I'll give it to someone on the occasion, it's a pity to throw it away

[Irina]

Irina, I had it for a very short time, a week. I tested it for relatives from the village. I really liked this cartoon. It was especially good to stew in it and the oven. And the cup is wonderful. That was a long time ago

[Masinen]

Uh-huh, this is also about her

reviews Masinen and others I find more reliable and adequate!

[Sens]

Sens, but in vain, a shitty slow cooker. And if we could forgive her as gadget lovers, then there is no immediate and only safe option.

[not shitty]

Ux3PZs4PSWU

my mother is the third year (she is 85 now) uses, she is happy, this is the first and only cartoon, she does not want another, her eyesight is already naughty, and here - like in kindergarten on lockers - pictures, for her, denying all sorts of techniques in the kitchen, herself then

the slow cooker is very even not shitty, for each saucepan your user

[Irsha]

Irsha, everything is relative, in the second dozen pots already perfectionism seems

If we take Panasonic, so the 10th or the updated 18th.
The management is simple, the care is minimal, for a pensioner the most it.
The main thing is that the result is always excellent.

For a pensioner, I would recommend Panasonic TMN10. It's very basic, but very good.

[Anastasenok]

everything is relative,

the question was about the simplest to operate a multicooker, this girl corresponds to this request

like Panasik10

Added Sunday 18 Dec 2016 16:02

Anastasenok, your age dictates other requirements

[Irsha]

Irsha, I'd rather Polaris 0349. Buckwheat means buckwheat, soup is soup and so on. Well, in fact, a controversial option for old people from that Panasonic. But the 10th is possible, they have nowhere to rush, its slow speed may be suitable.

I, too, will stand up for little Panasonic, I cannot call him bad.Unhurried - yes, so multi is not invented for speed, but for minimal participation in cooking, and he copes with this. I had this model, I gave it to my mother just because of the ease of management. From summer to autumn, mom spends most of the time in the garden, so in order not to worry about how broth or porridge is cooked there, this device is just right. Nothing will boil away, will not burn, but what else is needed?

[vernisag]

I would also advise a cartoon too
Multicooker Philips HD4726 / 03, like Irochka vernisag
So good. In the menu, the indication of buttons ready for operation is lit, so it is intuitively clear where and what to press. The buttons are large and solid. Displacement, however, is only 4 liters, but the bowl is wide, it seems that all 5 liters are available.
Now I have poured 2 liters into Stewed milk, so maybe it will screw up, or maybe vice versa!
For me, it's not a bad model at all.

Thank you girls for the advice. Maybe I have some misunderstanding about ease of control, but for me just a small number of buttons and the variability of their use (i.e., an older person will have to think what to press) seem more complex and sometimes overwhelming. And the interface seems simple to me, where there is a control panel with a sufficient number of specific programs / modes, the choice of which immediately starts the cooking process and eliminates sometimes complex intellectual activities. Correct me if I am wrong. In this vein, I came across the Redmond RMC-M25 model. I would be grateful for criticism on it.

In this vein, I came across the Redmond RMC-M25 model.

if you get caught, then buy it.
Convincing and advising is usually useless.
The model is normal. Let it serve you long and well!

[tem]

tem, take a look at Polaris PMC 0349AD, a very good multicooker with many programs, you just need to buy an extra bowl for it.

Why ask for advice when everything is initially determined ?!

On the contrary, a large number of buttons is tiresome.

I came to the conclusion that it is impossible to advise something to someone who will not use himself or who takes the first MV.
Until you try it yourself, you will not understand anything.

Everything looks even stranger when ten different ones are advised, but they still choose something else ... how can one advise here if a person still has some thoughts on this matter ...

[tem]

In this vein, I came across the Redmond RMC-M25 model. I would be grateful for criticism on it.

Really
temif you like, buy
It's just that we don't really like the Redmond brand and don't really like ceramic-coated bowls.

Added Sunday December 18, 2016 10:05 PM

On the contrary, a large number of buttons is tiresome.

Well, maybe it doesn't tire of course, but I realized for myself that 12 programs are enough for me, if they are well tuned. Multipovar, well, it seems like you need it just in case. I like making baked goods for 110-120g. , but in my favorite cartoon there is more, so I do not bake in it.

It's just that we don't really like the Redmond brand and don't really like bowls with a ceramic coating.

Well, to tell the truth, for all (almost) Rediks, you can buy an extra bowl of non-keram, and Redmond performs all the declared functions, I have 2 multicooker and a multi-baker, I can’t say anything bad about them.

Added Sunday December 18, 2016 10:07 PM

Your beloved Kuku, and the pastries there are very cool.

I'm talking about a stadler

Added Sunday, Dec 18, 2016 10:17 PM

In kuku wonderful pastries, that's true. But the bowl is very big there. Now I set up to bake in a 3-liter fillet, on a multi-cooker, I liked it, good breads are made with sourdough, and I do proofing with yogurt

It's just that we don't really like the Redmond brand and don't really like bowls with a ceramic coating.

That's why I'm asking.If they do not like and do not favor, then there are reasons - what? Some nonsense people begin to write immediately about the selected product and the senselessness of advice. Do not see the point - well, refrain from flooding. What could be simpler then? I have not made any choice. I just try to evaluate the purchase not by myself, but by the criteria of convenience for the elderly. And in my significant experience of communicating with them, we can unequivocally conclude that the need to press sequences of more than 2 buttons, while having the variability of their meaning, introduces most of them into a stupor. Therefore, I ask for a specific model that seemed to me adequate to the stated criteria (if someone read them carefully). If there are arguments against, analogs of this or something constructive, I will accept it with gratitude. And everything else makes the necessary topics for new users unreadable simply.
