Who bought in komfi, what is their confusion with models? there are two tmh18 and tmh10. like 18 should be 4.5 liters, but they say that 1.8 liters. confused something? who knows?

I have a Panasonic SR-TMH18 in the instructions included in it, the volume of the pan is 4.5 liters, and in the SR-TMH10 2.5 liters.

Who uses a small multicooker, share your opinion, please.

What are you cooking and for how many eaters? And are there any significant differences besides the volume? For example, the inability to cook something because of the small volume?

I can only say as the owner of a large multicooker that I would not buy a small one for anything big (4.5 liters) - it itself, IMHO. Even with a small family of 3 people, it is a profitable volume to cook the soup for several days, and bake a biscuit of a normal size, and at the same time, if necessary, cooking in small doses in a large multicooker is not prohibited. At least one serving is not prohibited.

[Luysia]

Luysia, my family is not big, but the slow cooker is big. When I bought, there were only rumors about the little ones on the Internet, but they did not sell.
I would not buy a smaller volume. Sometimes a cake or pie rests under the very roof, but in a small one where will it go? We don't need tiny pies. Am I correct?

I have 2 large multi, I would buy an even larger size (6 liters), a small one will not suit me.

[Nadezhda, qween, Anastasia]

Nadezhda, qween, Anastasia thank you for your advice!

So I did the right thing, I'll wait. If there is demand, then according to the laws of the market there must be supply.

We don't need tiny pies. Am I correct?

How right! Tiny pies are a uniform "disgrace" and "disorder of the nervous system", at least my men (husband and son) think so !!!

When buying a multicooker, I was very worried about these 4 liters, I was completely exhausted, I never wanted less (soups, jellied meat, compotes). And when it appeared, I was very worried if I had the right to cook porridge in it for 2 plates for children! So our Panasonic is just right for me.

And the device for 2.5 liters - whose is it? Can I look at it somewhere?

Lyrical digression. I often think about how great it would be to have a slow cooker as a student in a hostel! We had poorly working electric stoves and broken ovens. We used portable e-mail. stoves in the room, and we still had a miracle stove And although the main meal of a student in a hostel is fried potatoes, I baked cakes all over at that time ...

Who uses a small multicooker share your opinion, please.

What are you cooking and for how many eaters? And are there any significant differences besides the volume? For example, the inability to cook something because of the small volume?

I am now the owner of both a large and a small multicooker, so I can answer based on personal experience. I also doubted for a long time what kind of second cartoon to take, my husband advised me to take a big one again, and as a lover of variety I decided on a small one. In the end, I am very happy. We have a family of 2 adults and 2 children (7 years old and 1.5g). I cook everything for one day, except borscht. Therefore, a small slow cooker is convenient for me, both for soups, and for cereals, and for cheesecake or cake (my husband hardly eats sweets, but we and the children don't need much). Now I can combine, something in the large is more convenient to cook, and something in the small. Plus it takes up less space, this is also relevant, taking into account the number of equipment that is on my table.
Here, by the way, someone also wrote that it is convenient to combine a big cartoon with a small one, and it was after that that I decided on a baby

oh girls
and all evening yesterday I was thinking about a slow cooker
Well, I decided, even in winter, that I didn't need it, and I spent money on good thick-bottomed pots and a double boiler, I use them every day.
That is, I don't really need a big cartoon now. And here is a small 2 liters ...
I cook milk porridge for breakfast every day, just in a two-liter saucepan. In general, I have it already on the machine, everything is done quickly and with closed eyes ...
But you can do it with even less effort ..
Well, I cooked this porridge until today.
In short, both want and inject.
As an argument, I also thought about whether I would use a two-liter cartoon other than a cooker .. I thought that there was a very suitable size for a biscuit and casserole, I often do this .. Well, stew meat, I rarely more than a kilo I buy meat, 2 liters will fit at least a piece, at least cut ..

Tell me something, calm my soul

[Rustic stove]

Rustic stove, I will say, you need it, buy it, and the biscuits turn out great, and stew the meat, and cook the porridge on an even larger machine, but as always I will say that I would not advise you to buy a small one, in a large one you can always cook porridge per portion, but from you judging by 2 liters, it is far from one portion, and a biscuit of a more suitable size still turns out to be large - it is 22 cm in diameter, the biscuit shrinks a little when you take it out and it turns out to be about 20 cm in diameter. In a small one, it will turn out even less. I have a family of only 3 people and the eaters are not so hot, but I cook very small portions and soup for 3-4 days in a large one. I don't want a little one. On the contrary, I also took a 6-liter cartoon pressure cooker, which is very good.

[Anastasia]

Anastasia, thanks for responding. You seem to have helped me decide on a juicer?
I cook porridge 2.5 servings maximum. And another problem with the place (and so - for the sake of multi, you will have to get rid of the coffee maker, which is tired and we do not use). So I'm still leaning towards small. But I'm not sure of her either.

Hello!!!
A rustic stove, if you look closely, the dimensions of the MV itself are the same, so it is better to buy immediately with a 4-liter bowl.

Girls, I looked at both of them yesterday. Indeed, the external dimensions differ by no means 2 times.
BUT I don't need too much.Why am I going to spread 2 plates on 4 liters? I will definitely cook the soup in a saucepan. For pilaf I recognize only a cast-iron cauldron.
I was thinking about a large device. When I have 3 children, I will buy a 6-liter cartoon pressure cooker. So far, there is only 1 baby.

[Rustic stove]

Rustic stove Do not suffer and buy 2.5 liters. I've only been looking for a big one, bought it. And now I think that it is too big for every morning porridge. And in general, my husband doesn't eat one dish 3 times, so we cook in small portions. Before that, we had the largest saucepan for 3 liters (Oh! I just realized it now). Family of 3 people, small 10 months. The truth that I bought a large one, I still do not regret it. Better then I'll take a little one more :-)

[Pogremushka]

Pogremushka but tell me please, when you cook porridge in a large one - you can't see it there in the tracks - was the milk boiling high or not?
Will it not work that when cooking in a 2-liter saucepan there will not be enough room for boiling and it (porridge) will crawl out of the saucepan?
In an ordinary saucepan, I stir the porridge at least a couple of times, and then everything will boil by itself.

I also really want to buy a small one, I have a big one, I'm very happy. As soon as I find it, I will buy it without hesitation!

What are you planning to do in it?

[Rustic stove]

And further. Rustic stove the law of meanness has not been canceled. Yesterday we looked at the cartoon in the store, but you decide how to buy, they will disappear from the shelves. So make up your mind soon.
And I won't tell you about cereals. The fact is that for some reason I cook them now only on water. But I did not notice a strong boil there. Yes, and I have not heard that the girls from the multi milk ran away.

A rustic stove, when cooking porridge, milk is not brought to a boiling point and does not rise. I used to have a milk cooker with two compartments. Water was poured into the lower level, which boiled, and milk on top. There, the porridge also did not boil and was perfectly prepared.

Well, I did THIS)
Vabrala 2.5 liters.
I'm moving on to the topic "the first days with a slow cooker")

By the way, whoever is looking for just a small multicooker - there are only 3-4 boxes left at the University. I didn’t pay attention yesterday, like there are a lot of boxes, but all are big. There are very few small ones.

Of course 4.5 liters. Don't even hesitate.

in fact, this issue has already been discussed, though not in a separate topic. I found a link to the discussion page https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=1762.135 - somewhere from the middle of the page you need to read - there are many opinions on this matter

In a large one you can cook little, but in a small one you cannot. I have a small family, I took a big one and I don't regret it. More often I cook a small amount, but when needed, that is, what to cook with a large one. And in a large optimal diameter for cakes and casseroles, but you want pizza even more

I have already decided for myself that when I buy a multicooker, I will immediately take the largest one (my family has such food needs) and it is better, of course, that by that time they have released not even 7 liters, but 10 liters! And now there is no money - you have to interrupt with pots ...

I also asked this question. I am now a bachelor - I live alone. Will a small multicooker be enough? The question arose because in the store now I saw a small one (tmh10) for 840 UAH (140 $), and in another one you have to wait 2 weeks and maybe there will be a large one (tmh18) for 640 UAH (110 $) It's somehow strange they put prices Money does not play a special role , but it's a little scary to wait, because during this time they can take away a small one I feel like in a casino
The main question is - can everything be cooked in a shallow dish? And is it enough for two (anything in life happens)

I also asked this question. The main question is - can everything be cooked in a shallow dish? And is it enough for two (anything in life happens)

I think that you need to take a big one. It will be difficult to cram a chicken under one and a half kilograms into a small one. Or prepare a kilo of wings for beer.
As already mentioned, in a large one you can cook a small portion, but in a small one it is difficult to cook a lot.
And in large and soup for 3-4 days it is easy to cook, and it is easy to stew vegetables for a couple of days too.Of course, you can cook every day, the current after work to eat hunting, and then you have to wait another hour. It is not always possible to put the dish on the timer in the morning. So only a large slow cooker, in my opinion, should be the basis.
And with the appearance of such a miracle pot, friends will visit more often to taste all sorts of delicious snacks ..

Da, tol'ko bol'shaya dolgna bit 'pervoy. Teper ', kogda u menya est' bolishaya mul'tivarka (4,7litra) i Unit 1000 (6litrov) ya poschitala vozmognim prikupit 'ecshe i malehikuyu. Ona ochen 'kstati prislas' na vsyakie sluchai kogda komu-to (hacshe mladsheyu dochke) prihoditsya gоtоvit' hto-to individualino i na odin raz. A dlya sem'i ili na neskol'ko raz v neyu ne vse i ne vsegda prigotovish '.
Berite bol'shuyu, a potom reshite nugna li vam eshe i malen'kaya.

I'd take a big one, but it's not there And now there's this crisis - the dollar is growing and prices will also go up ... They told me that in Dnepropetrovsk, a big one costs already 2000 UAH

I want to buy a multicooker and I can't choose something between 2.5 and 4.5. A multicooker is needed for a family of 2 people. We usually cook so that there is no food left, that is, we cook it and that's it ...
So far, we are inclined to buy a large one, but the instruction manual says that the minimum volume is 2 measuring glasses (for example, buckwheat) and 4 water. And if, for example, I need to prepare only 1 measuring cup of buckwheat in a slow cooker + 2-3 glasses of water. Can I cook it in a 4.5 liter multicooker or not? Or is it better for us to buy a small one?

Or is it better for us to buy a small one?

If you are going to cook only buckwheat, then it is better not to buy at all, the unit that is too large for one portion of porridge, and if there are some other dishes and pastries, then a large one is better, on the first page there are already the same tips.

Sage, and in a big multit I always cook porridge for 1 cup of cereal (+2 water) - the porridge is quickly eaten up and nothing remains. By the way, there are two of us and the child is still small. So we have multi 2, and both are large. (I would have bought 2 now, but only large ones if I didn’t have it.) And I would like to see a cartoon 2 or 3 times larger in the future ... Maybe released? I'm not the only one.

I also often cook 1 cup of cereal in a large cartoon - everything is ok

I have 2 MB, large and small. And I can say for sure that little MV is not so small, but forgive me the tautology
And having prepared the first dish or the second it is quite possible to feed 2 adults. Of course, everyone has different appetites, my family of 4 people (2 adults and 2 children) is enough to eat it once. And despite the fact that cooking in it is not a problem, I loaded it and went, then I don't see the point of cooking in MV for several days, and it will get boring for several days to eat the same thing.
For the sake of fairness, I will say that I cook first courses more often in a large MV (for 2 days), and porridge, pilaf, meat, roast, etc., in a small one. Variety is always on the table.
So if you are alone and have the opportunity not to wait and buy a small CF, you should do it.

[Tashunya]

I have a 4.5-liter cartoon, which is sorely lacking, since the child needs to cook separately. Here I think what size to take the second. Is a liter enough?

Tashunyawhat do you mean by speaking about one liter? If the cartoon, then the smallest 2.5 liter Panasonic SR-TMH 10

[Tashunya]

Tashunya, I have both multi and large and small. Family of 3 adults. It's easy enough to make dinner in a small cartoon for 3 people. And now I make almost all baked goods in it. And the big one goes under the first (not always), jellied meat only in the big one and if it is necessary to cook it for a larger number of people. The porridge can be boiled for 0.5 cups of cartoons. It is very convenient to have both multi and large and small.

In the big one, you can also cook porridge from 0.5 cups of cartoons.
I bought a second one the other day, so it's a new sample. They even changed the description. And there are calculations for 0.5 multi-glasses.
And I was also amused when I read about "joint" cooking in the description. Ie.when you cook both a simple dish and in a steamer basket at the same time. It seems like it was also a Good Cook's idea. Tyryat brazenly from the Internet Old

Of course, you can cook in a large one, but it was about a child and I wrote that you can cook in a small one. And the recipes, of course, tyryat, and brazenly. But if only it was convenient for people, not everyone owns a computer and the Internet.

Good day to all! I see many have already wondered how much to buy a multicooker. So far, we have a family of two, and we cook ordinary food on the stove in a 2.5 liter saucepan. I thought that we need a multicooker of the same volume. But I read your reviews ... It turns out that in such a small multicooker it will be impossible to cook, for example, steamed dishes? or normal pies? Apparently, you need to buy a big one. But won't we have an overconsumption of energy, isn't it harmful for the multicooker, if we almost always load it only by half, or even by a third? Girls, help me decide!

[ernina]

ernina
You are mistaken, in a small MV you can do everything the same way as in a large one .. and for steam and baking, just the amount that you can make at the same time is limited by the volume of the pan.
And a large MV can be "loaded" by half or a third without harm to it. But of course everything is within reason
About overspending email in the case of MV, there is no talk at all, it is very economical in this matter. The same amount in a small MV will take a little longer to cook than in a large MV (from power) and therefore the total consumption will be the same.
And it is better to choose the size of MV based on the appetites of eaters. At first, you immediately want to cook a lot of dishes, and you even come across a situation when MV cooks, but they do not have time to eat, in this case, a small one is more convenient))) cooked and ate .. while eating another is already being prepared
In any case, of course, you choose

there are two of us too, we have a small cartoon (in principle, we barely bought this one), and so, we have enough for two! I rarely cook it to the eyeballs, it's easier to cook something fresh. As for steaming, I do it in the microwave, it somehow turns out faster and it cuts more, so far only charlotte was baked from the pies, we had enough for 2)) but if, of course, for a large company, it is not enough. but in principle, I think you have an oven, so ... in general, I'm happy that we have a baby, standing on the dining table, does not bother anyone. I have enough of it. so think, decide)

I can't be silent :)
for the new year, they gave me 2 multicooker at once - a large and a small one. I also could not choose which one :) Well, I am a weak person, I succumbed to this epidemic, and my husband decided that one, that two from Moscow to transfer ... I started experimenting with a small one, but I still haven't printed a big one
Given: family of 4 people, 2 adults and 2 children 11 and 4 years old. I pour children exactly the same portions as us. I have already tried almost all the main types of dishes, soups, roasts, ham, porridge, casseroles, and I do not fill it to the eyeballs, I only pour soups to rice. It turns out that we are full and there is exactly one portion left. At least give birth to a third :)))
This I mean that if it is completely impossible to find a large one and there is no habit of cooking for a week, then a small one is quite enough. Well, if you do not count on guests, though, pilaf was enough for 2 uninvited people.

Exactly! I bought a big one because I thought that a small one would not be enough for my family of 5. Now I see empirically what still remains. Therefore, out of great laziness, I cook a double portion - well, so that we have enough for two days and the next day we won't fire the cartoon. I'm so lazy!

Help!!! I also got infected with the idea of ​​buying a multi ... Actually, initially there was an idea to buy a second HP (I love it, for 2 years now), then I got to the site, and at first did not pay much attention to the cartoon, then I began to delve ... and caught fire. I have already read all the forums - far and wide ...but I still can't come to an unambiguous conclusion, because some happy owners extol it to heaven, others lower it to the ground.And also, about the volume: I looked in a 2.5-liter store today, it seemed too tidy to me ... People , nevertheless: worth it or ... And you want and inject

I also have two, but still more often in use.
For jellied meat, cabbage rolls, etc. - it is more convenient.
And the diameter of the biscuit is more "cake".
And in a small one it is convenient to cook porridge in the morning.
Two multicooker - just right

And I am of the same opinion. In addition to the big and the small, I also have Unit 1000 (this is almost the same, but with a volume of 6 liters and a pressure cooker)

Thanks everyone for the answers. Now I am thinking about the same question (to buy a small or large one), I have 3 people in my family, though one of them is 3.5 years old, and the second is 2 years old (well, the third one is me). I will buy a big one! If she can cook a bowl of porridge for 1.5 people, then that's good ...
And then soon the son will grow up ... and will eat a lot.

Can you please tell me the dimensions of the small multi saucepan itself (height and diameter)?

[Small multi saucepan:]

Can you please tell me the dimensions of the small multi saucepan itself (height and diameter)?

Small multi saucepan:

Height - 10 cm.
Diameter - 20 cm.
Large multi pot:

Height - 13 cm.
Diameter - 22 cm.

Thank you so much!
It means that I ordered a small one, the difference is small, and in the presence of a MultiHotter with two pots of 4 and 4.7 liters, a small cartoon will be the very thing.
In St. Petersburg, there is a multi in many stores, I ordered via the Internet, a small 3500, and a large 4200 - quite real prices.

Good evening!

Please tell me how the Panasonic SR-TMB 18 differs from the TMN18.
I'm thinking of buying. Got it covered?

And the structure of the valve. There are no other differences.

Yukka!

Buy any of them. They are functionally the same. The difference is in the coating of the pots and in the valve structure.
SR-TMH18 is a newer model. I have both. In my opinion, the working qualities are the same. I even like the old one more.
Good luck!
