What size Panasonic multicooker to buy?

Then the Unit 1000 pressure cooker is 6 liters, as if everything will fit!

For these purposes I have a 6-liter saucepan made of thick aluminum. In the evening I bring water with meat to a boil, then I throw vegetables and cereals into a boil for 5-10 minutes and turn it off. Healthy undigested porridge with vegetables in the morning. Such a saucepan is enough for us for two days

Girls thanks for the advice!
Don't you know the volume of a multi-hooter? (it's just that there is also a deep fryer
)

I appeal to experienced and Multicooker users:
I want to buy, what should I pay attention to?
And another question, if something does not suit you in your Multicooker or maybe you would like another version of the Multicooker, please share with me, I will be very grateful.

[Tatjanka_1]

Tatjanka_1, read the topic "+" and "-" multicooker. and Questions to the owners of the cartoon from the one thinking about buying it

What you need to pay attention to - what did you mean? When buying, packaging or something else?

I will answer your second question like this:
In my cartoon, I would only like a different pot cover (more durable).

And so everything suits me.

PS: I have Panas.

The best part is the pressure cooker!

It's better to cook porridge for dogs in a pressure cooker, but I can't understand why you are cooking meat. Maso is given raw, the maximum is scalded with boiling water.

Ol_kins, I was first of all embarrassed by the fact that in model 10 (2.5 l) you need to put 2 times less food than in 4.5 l, but this less amount is cooked 2 times longer than in a large one due to the fact that that the power in small is also small
1 liter of soup, because only this amount of liquid / food can be put into the bowl as much as possible, in a large one - 1.8 liters!
the measuring cup seems small too. I used to think- Wow! as many as 2 measuring cups of porridge at least, but it turned out that this is very little and I had cooked such portions before.
so I advise all the same for 4.5 liters!
I'm baking charlotte now. if no one responds in an hour, then I will take a picture from any angle at will and post the pictures
and also from impressions - for some reason I thought that the basket for steaming was made of some metal, but it was made of plastic, but on the other hand, it had huge letters PP - polypropylene (that is, it could be heat treated)

vict0rina, you give incorrect information
You can fill a small cartoon with 1.8 liters, and a large one - 3.7-3.8 liters.
And the little one cooks not 2 times longer, but at about the same speed, since the volume of food for heating is less.
Ol_kins, take a look at these cartoon threads, there are many answers to questions

Yeleno4ka, I have a maximum mark in the pot of 1.8 liters. I myself thought at first that they sent me a little one, but then it is indicated on the box and in the documents that 18 models and she is gray (little blue)
on the forum, almost all the recipes for a large model, but everyone unanimously trumpets the rule for a small cartoon - the products are 2 times less, the time is 2 times longer!
this became the main argument for the big one!

Yeleno4ka, I have a maximum mark in the pot of 1.8 liters. I myself thought at first that they sent me a little one, but then it is indicated on the box and in the documents that 18 models and she is gray (little blue)

Don't confuse yourself and people. Look at the saucepan carefully. Next to mark 18 is the word CUP, that is, a cup (measuring). For most of these rice, multi and other cooks, the volume is indicated not in liters, but in cups.

=================================
later
it's just unusual for us - to measure not in the metric system (in liters), but in some cups. By the way, the cup fits well. They can still count in ounces. That is, it is imperative to look at what is a conventional unit.
==================
Sorry muah ...
On a saucepan at the top of the graduation, 1.8 liters and 10 cups are still written ... Something is still connected with the amount of rice ...

yes, on the right of the cap marks - the maximum mark is 10
on the left - a large letter L. for the simplicity of the soul, I still think that these are liters - the maximum mark is 1.8

so, I'm restless! conducted an experiment. exactly 3 liters entered the maximum mark. water, but the tsiferka still costs 1.8. what are these units of measurement? used to tear off the hands of those Chinese who scrawled them

Oh, trees, confused me completely) So all the same 1.8 liters in a small one?
Thank you for the links, I'll go and read ... For the pictures I will still be very grateful!
I need a cartoon for a gift, a family of two elderly people, cooking is supposed to take one or two times ... I really don't know what to do now ...

Here's what I found

Congratulations on your purchase! Great choice! But they have already written about divisions on a multi-saucepan ALREADY, they do not refer to the capacity of the saucepan! Well, even after all, you can conduct a simple experiment - take a liter jar and stupidly measure with it how much will fit in a multi saucepan. If 4.5 liters, then no one deceived you! The marks on the inside of the saucepan refer to cooking rice, I quote: "In order to cook rice in Japanese, we carefully examine the inside of the saucepan. There are marks on it. On the right - from 3 to 10, on the left - from 0.6 to 1.8 liters. they do not have a pot for the capacity. They show the water level for the selected number of cups of rice: for the BREAKER program - on the right, the risks on the left refer to the cooking of brown rice in the PLOV mode. "

In general, I read and thought - I will take a little one. And if I decide to take it myself, then a big one. Where can I just buy it now? ... Nobody has news?

We cook in a small cartoon for 3 adults and 2 small children. Enough. I have cooked porridge in a 1.2 liter pot before, so in the cartoon it turns out even more. The soup has adapted to do so - I cook a thick, thick soup, almost a stew, and then when I pour it into a saucepan, I add water, add salt and bring it to a boil. With the purchase of a multi, even more goodies are prepared at home from us, the pets do not have time to eat what I manage to cook with her, and I keep going in circles around her and think about what else to do

How much ready-made soup will be in a small MV full 2.5 liters or less?
Is it possible to make half a 2L soup in a large MV, for example? Or milk porridge at a minimum, as much as 1l / 1.5l?

[RybkA]

RybkA in a big one - it's not in a small one, you can do less
I personally also have a small one, but I somehow think, maybe I don't need a big one ??? I have two children already enough a hedgehog and a husband ...... porridge is definitely in a cartoon, and different side dishes too, I also had our dose in 2.5 liter saucepans, so it was just right for me. I'm used to such small saucepans, everything flies away faster. I make several dishes at once, so that later the choice is what to eat

[Svetik_]

Svetik_ , I understand that in large it is possible to reduce, but I would like to know the limits of the permissible ...
How much is it to fill up to the line? Would like to know in both models?

[RybkA]

RybkA are you talking about liter ??? Well, how many of you are living ???

Yesterday in the little one I made stewed cabbage ........ I chopped it up ... almost to the eyeballs, to the rice, well, I left some places so that I could mix it with a spoon ....... then I put everything in the Tefalevsky saucepan and here's another saucepan ... I just don't do much, I really want not to get it ... but it turns out that like this

I still look in the direction of the big cartoon, but obviously not now ..... the kids are growing up and the appetite is also increasing, I'll wait, maybe it will get cheaper, but if not, then maybe I'll figure out a second one by summer

Know, dear forum users!

I've come close to buying MB.

Only one question haunts me - which MB to buy?
big or small?
I have a family of 3 people.

If it does not make it difficult, please respond to those who have small MV and would you like to change it to a large one? And is it possible to cook, for example, a floor of a saucepan in a large MV?

And also for those with large CF:
would you like to change to a small one and for what reason?

if you don't want to change your own () MV for anything, then the comments on this issue are also interesting

I also have a family of three. I recently bought a large MV.
I have not regretted it yet.
Here on the forum, someone clever (thanks to him) read that you can cook little in a large saucepan, but you can't cook a lot in a small one!
Everything is just like that.
For example, in a large cartoon, you can cook buckwheat from 2 cartoon glasses. This is just right for my family to have dinner once.
Well, maybe sometimes there is not much left, I either take to work for lunch, or I have a dog ...
He also loves to eat deliciously ...
And then, be prepared for the fact that the food from CF tastes better ...
Yesterday I cooked cabbage rolls almost full ...
Today there are 4 left !!!!!!!!!! pieces
Even a child who never ate cabbage rolls ate only them ...

For a longer time in the year, there are generally two, well, in the summer and winter holidays, the son comes, and also never regretted purchasing a "big" MV !!!
It is versatile! But the little one ... You can't make a jelly in it! And the same stuffed peppers? Well, how many will fit? No ! I am for the "big"

We need both a small and a large multicooker! I just adore my Multichotter, but I decided to buy a small Panasonic multicooker on vacation, I don’t like its bowl, but I don’t see small cartoons from any manufacturer anymore! Although in size, in my opinion, small and large Panasonic do not differ much. Or not?

They differ only in volume ...
I have a small cartoon and a family of 4 people, with such a stir that was with them, I was glad that at least I snatched the little one, I initially wanted a big one, but .............. I then this I solved the issue ...... I bought a Klatronic rice cooker for 5L and now I don't buzz
I am very happy with my assistants

I have a large slow cooker. But I was looking for a gift and decided to buy a small one, because it was far to drive, and for those reasons that the family was 2 people. When I opened it to look, I was surprised that the bowl was small compared to mine. I was even upset. But when I already gave it and began to show its capabilities, I was surprised again, because the bowl is very roomy !!!! She stewed chicken - 2 breasts, 6 legs - lay plump, interfered several times during the stewing, I was afraid that it would not be stewed from above. Everything turned out great !!!! They were satisfied with my gift. I would also not hurt to buy a small one, but where to put is an eternal question.

Although in size, in my opinion, small and large Panasonic do not differ much. Or not?

Dimensions (HxLxW, mm, approx.)
Large 276 x 274 x 275
Small 245 x 248 x 255

That is, the difference is 3.1, 2.6, 2.0 cm.

Weight 2.8 kg and 2.4 kg, respectively
Difference 0.4 kg

I diluted my multipark with a simple rice cooker for 8 cups. In it I cook porridge from a glass of cereals, sometimes broth from 1-2 chicken thighs, that is, just small volumes. In general, in addition to being large, it is very appropriate. Only now, on the table, this "small" rice cooker occupies about the same area as a large Panasonic
And if you take the first rice / slow cooker, then even for a family of 2 people you need to take a large one. Here, as with clothes - the long one can be cut off, but the short one cannot be finished with. In a large saucepan, small volumes can be cooked, and when a large volume is needed, you will not stretch a small saucepan.

And for a mother with a child, the little one is really very necessary, by the way, it is with electronic control. For children, they usually cook separately.

I am thinking about a slow cooker, because I work in shifts, and when I come home from work at ten o'clock, I have no strength to cook anything, because in the morning I go back to work. There are two of us, we eat ... average Well, depending on what else.For example, I cook borsch / soup in a 3-liter saucepan, we eat it for a long time, 2-3 days. Well, second courses fly away faster. I've already broken my head, buy a large MV or a small one Again, I plan to bake biscuits, cakes and so on. In general, I want to use the full
On the one hand, I want a small one (to cook morning porridge, for example), on the other, I want large biscuits, more pilaf, fried and stewed dishes. I'm not going to give up the stove for good, therefore, I can cook borscht in a saucepan. But the volume of food worries me, because I want to cook for 2 days when I work. The husband does not always eat in the morning, mostly only in the evening, and I am in the morning and 2 times at work, and in the evening I eat with my husband. Will a little multi be enough for me for these purposes? Or is it better big? Or buy a small MB with the expectation that in the future it will be possible to buy a Landlife pressure cooker as well? Completely confused !!!
Tell me, how much minimum can I cook porridge and first in a large MV?

If you will not cook your morning porridge on the timer, then you can buy a small, simple rice cooker. It will be used quite effectively.
All my morning cereals from 200 ml of cereals are cooked only in such a pot (in terms of volume, the equivalent of a small Panasonic, but it cost me an order of magnitude cheaper).

In a large MV, you can easily cook 1-1.5 liters of soup, and porridge from a glass of cereal. My husband and I are two, my son only comes for the holidays, but I have never regretted that I bought a large MV

Girls, I also want a multicooker !!! I went to the store and looked - at 4.5 it seemed big. Family of 3 people. First of all, I want MV for cooking cereals in the morning (for me and my daughter), it will be possible to cook for two in 4.5 liters. And the hostess 2.5 liters how many portions of the same cereals, pilaf, soup are obtained ... Help ...

If in the future you do not plan to make jellied meat and decent pieces of awesome boiled pork in it, then take a small one.

Everything was brought home by a little Panasonic, she is so tiny and pretty, and the saucepan in it is very much and nothing decent in size, no matter what they say.

And why put paper under the cupcake, for example, because it is a delicate structure with everything, how can it generally scratch the coating?

This is more so that the delicate texture of the cake does not stick to the saucepan and the cake comes out easily. Sweet dough can stick like a sucker, not because it's burnt.

Tell me, how much minimum can I cook porridge and first in a large MV?

Madam, I have a small slow cooker, and our family is not big either, I am a husband. The volume of the saucepan is quite enough to cook a second dish for 2-3 days, or even more if you load it full. For the first course, it is really small, on average it comes out about 2 liters, although it should also be enough for 2 days. True, I don't cook soups in it, more often on the stove in a saucepan, it turns out more there. And from my own experience, I want to advise you to buy a large multicooker, because you can always cook less.

:) Hello girls. I am to you for advice. Friends promised to present for the New Year + housewarming, a multivac, But in our big village there are no multicooker, and I have nowhere to see it except in a photo on the internet, and therefore such a question, we have a family of three, how much is better to take, what the model is better. Thanks in advance for the advice.

MomStacy, in any case, a small amount of food can be cooked in a large saucepan, but you cannot cook a lot of food in a small amount.If you choose an electric pot with electronic control, be sure to pay attention to the list of offered programs. The fact is that rice cookers are quite common, that is, there are several programs for different types of rice.

Girls, I want to buy MV! I have a family of 3 people, I cook soup for 2 days in a 2.5 liter saucepan, porridge from 1.5 tbsp. cereals, tell me how many st. porridge fits into a small MV and how many liters of soup are you getting? The choice so far fell on a small one, since there are only small ones in the Panasonic store?

[katyac]

katyac, if you don't cook anything other than porridge and soup, then a little is enough. If you bake boiled pork or cook jellied meat, then you need a large one.

Thank you so much! I opted for a small one, yesterday I cooked borscht (Lola), poured a full saucepan, it was enough for us for 2 days.
Now I am carcassing cabbage, this slow cooker is a wonderful thing, everything turns out so tasty.

I took a small one, for a family of 2 people. I have never regretted it, the volume is optimal, even often remains on the trail. I throw it away - my husband does not eat for 2 days in a row the same thing. the size for baking is quite satisfactory, especially since there is a bread maker. for a small family I recommend a baby, a large one will be needed either for big lovers of guests or for a family at least 2 parents + 2 children

I, too, a couple of years ago, was deciding which multicooker to buy, small or large ?? I bought, for 2.5 liters, a family of 3 people, but not so long ago I also bought for 4.5 liters, they have now dropped a little in price and are very happy with both, my "Panasiki" are not replaceable.
Therefore, I want to say, no matter what you buy, you still need another one, do not even hesitate.

I re-read the whole Temko 3 times. I decided to buy a large multicooker.
The family is not big, we are the 3rd. Now I will master.
I plan to take her to the dacha, and there are always a lot of people and serve porridge to everyone in the morning.

We are also 3 adults, I bought a large one, and now I understand that a small one would be big enough.
