Need a multicooker to free up some time for the child

Hello, dear forum users! I really need your help! I want to buy a multicooker, but for 2 months I can't decide ... Help, please !!! I am from Novokuznetsk (Russia). My family: me, husband, child - 1 year old, grandmother - 80 years old. The multicooker is needed more in order to free up a little time for taking care of the child, caring for the grandmother and some household chores. I'm going to cook porridge in a slow cooker, just boil cereals for a side dish, various steamed dishes, casseroles, omelets, muffins ... I hope that soups and meat dishes too. In the shops of our city are on sale:

• Panasonic 10 - 4550,
• Panasonic 18 - 5350,
• Supra 4511 - 2550,
• Polaris 0508 - 2500,
• Polaris 0512 - 2990.

I hope for feedback. Thank you in advance!

Lailimo, since I am a fresh owner of Panasonic-10, I can only say about him. Others will give a comparative description, and this is my experience.
I have been doing all the food there for 3 weeks already: soup, porridge, and second, and I bake charlottes, and omelets, and yogurt. Until I got to the double boiler. The time-consuming multicooker saves a lot. In general, all you need to do is prepare, cut, and toss food. I made borscht yesterday - an hour and a half on stewing, and the color turned out to be crazy, bright, and very tasty!
It will still be good for your family, since stews are made very tender (the most important thing is the softest meat), you can do it without excess oil, so that your grandmother can eat and you yourself will be delicious.
Now about the model itself. Panasiki, of course, is more expensive than the others. But it was important for me, among other things, to fit the cartoon into a tiny kitchen. Panasik has a successful, compact design. I think you should take the 18th model, since you have more people. And yet - Panasik was "baptized" on Seliger in the countryside. While baking charlottes there, the electricity twitched, it did not turn off at all, but it blinked suspiciously. Charlotte was baked perfectly, but Panasik did not blink an eye

I typed the text twice, sent it, but it's not there! .. I try it for the third time ... Ikra, thanks for sharing your experience! I didn't know that you can make yogurt in a slow cooker, even if it doesn't have this program. Indeed, at first I wanted a Panasonic 18, but after reading the forum, I realized that this cartoon was overpriced; the pan cover is unreliable; in other cartoons the same programs, but the cost is lower. I really liked the outwardly polaris 0512, but there the menu is in English - I did not understand the program. They speak well of the supra 4511 - though I haven't seen it live, I don't know if it has programs like in Panasonic? I am tormented with a choice between three multicooker.

You can do almost anything in a multicooker! The people have already studied all the possibilities of different models so well that the recipes have been worked out to the smallest detail.
You know, can you go from "nasty" (but pleasant)? Try to formulate for yourself which of the dishes is preferable for you to cook, and walk around the forum among the recipes for each of the models under consideration. So you will understand that from the functions of each model it is important for you, which function corresponds to which in different models ...
A saucepan, I wonder, what is Panas scolding for? Do the cheaper ones have better coverage? I can't believe something. Although I'm not an expert, I've only seen Moulinex and Supra alive. I didn't scratch. But I didn't notice any differences.

Lailimo It's hard for me to advise you something, for me my cartoon is generally the height of perfection, because I prefer to cook food at low temperatures or simmer over low heat.The lower the heat, the longer and tastier it will cook. I can't do that on gas. But what do you love? If there is more fried, then this is not very cartoon. It takes 20-25 minutes to get a fried crust on meat, on Panasonic, for example. Orion or Perfezza will roast faster. If you like porridge, then, in my opinion, any CF has such a regime and cooks them perfectly. And you need to take into account that the models that you have on sale differ in power. Panasonic pulls email least of all. energy (correct me if I'm wrong), Supra is a similar model, but a budget option, and Polaris - I don't know anything about it, ask the store. Choose the modes too, so that you can adjust the time. It is convenient when there are programmed modes and modes that you can set yourself. Well, again, Panasonic in this regard suits me the most. There is both. The most convenient mode is Timer and Heating. And by the way, I completely disagree with the statements about the fragility of his saucepan. The coating is very high quality Teflon, the bowl itself is aluminum, lightweight and easy to clean. Manufacturer Taiwan. This is to say that someone was talking about China. In general, if Panasik is dear to you, then I would probably recommend Supra ...

Lailimo, any of the multicooker listed by you will be wonderful to cook whatever you want to cook in it. They have slightly different power and design, but the principle of operation is the same, so choose according to your taste and wallet.
I'm just as happy with my very inexpensive cartoon as the owners of Panasonic and, frankly, I'm very glad that I didn't spend three times more money on the purchase, because it does all the same and looks no worse, and the name of the manufacturer doesn't interest me ...
On this forum, there are topics for all the multicooker that you have listed, read them and it may be easier to choose.
Good luck!

Lailimo, I am the owner of multi Panasonic, and two at once - large and small. Oh, and for a long time I chased them a year ago! I really like the design (strict, nothing superfluous) and the possibilities. You can do anything you want: chic biscuits, and bread, and delicious porridge, and soup, and yogurt, and baked milk, and wonderful rice, and any second dishes (stewed, stewed, baked, steam). Moreover, there is a delayed start. The owners of the other multicooker that you have listed also do all this in their cartoons, they praise them very much, read the relevant topics.
It's a great thing that you have ALL these multicooker in your stores, you can look at them "live", touch them. Many, including myself, chose "blindly". So look, touch, which one is more to your soul. They differ mainly in shape and design. And the financial issue, of course. But I want to say that in your stores the price for multicooker, even for Panasonic !, is very divine! In some stores it is transcendental: a small Panasonic costs up to 6 thousand, and a large one ... up to 9 !!!

Lailimo. I can write a review about what I have: Panasonic-18. Satisfied, like an elephant, I immediately bought a silicone spoon with a mule on a long handle, a kind of mini-ladle, nothing more to climb into my cartoon (I don't climb), in short, the saucepan is safe and sound since the New Year (I spat on Tomik sitting next to me, and let him not sit on the left), I did not find any minuses, while some pluses in purchasing a Panasik! By the way, about the cost, I bought a stock for the new year for 2900 rubles

By the way, I forgot to write about silicone spatulas! I also use only them. If you handle the saucepan carefully, it will last a long time, in extreme cases you can order a spare one.

I did not find any cons, while some pluses in purchasing a Panasika!

so far the same impressions

By the way, about the cost, I bought a stock for the new year for 2900 rubles

That's really lucky, so lucky !!! The price is direct New Year's gift. You bought this BIG cartoon for such a price ?? !!
