Multicooker Viconte VC-600

Maybe someone will come in handy. From personal observations: if you fry food in CF before extinguishing, then before turning on the extinguishing, you need to top up not cold, but hot boiled water. In the * quenching * mode, at first there is intense heating, judging by the thick steam, and then goes into a quiet mode of languishing, and therefore, there should not be boiling there.
=====================================================

ballerians, in this case, MV is no longer subject to warranty repair, I would not disassemble it myself, if there is still gar. the term has not passed.

body: plastic cover and bottom ...... cylindrical a case made of tin painted enamel ...... on this site there is a forum "Technical department. Viconte multicooker" ... There I tried to lay out quite detailed photos of the insides of this device ...... a multicooker is certainly a necessary thing in the kitchen, but it will not completely replace the stove .... we personally use both the multicooker and the airfryer ...... the airfryer for more than a year (it has never broken, the revision carried out under our network affected) ..... we use the multicooker for the second month .. we mainly cook porridge and stew with vegetables (I haven't let it down yet) ... if God forbid it happens, I will help with the repair (all the necessary parts are available)

balerian1, Thank you very much for the information, God forbid not to break, and if anything I will use your suggestion for repair.

Lovely women, hostesses! Happy holiday to you! All health, love and may your house be fully equipped with household helpers !!!

ballerians, in this case, MV is no longer subject to warranty repair, I would not disassemble it myself, if there is still gar. the term has not passed.
during the warranty period, any product is subject to warranty repair .. You probably wanted to write - YOURSELF ?? .... about repairs ... to the greatest shame, our regional service centers do not even delve into consumer problems and even such a trifle is positioned as a global breakdown with all the ensuing consequences ... Foreseeing your irony in this regard, I inform you that, unfortunately, I am not the general director of the company, but only a service engineer ... the management listens little to our opinion ... that's why I'm here ..... not It is very pleasant to read unflattering reviews about the products we are trying to fight for improving the quality !!!! ... and by the way - my name Valery! (just in case)

Of course, I meant the self-repair that you suggested to Julia11. You are an engineer, and I am a lawyer, so I warned her and others about the negative side of such repairs during the warranty period.
I just put on a roast: beef + butter + potatoes + spices + water 1.5 MS, b / w 2 hours, I hope we will have a tasty treat at the festive table !!

as an engineer to a lawyer: I answered Julia11 to a question posed to her about independent disassembly of the multicooker. the problem is not global, anyone will eliminate it at home ... and in the service (if there is one in Tomsk) they will start pulling rubber (not for me to explain to you about the law on the protection of consumer rights and the timeframe for examination) ... but a person all this time will be without the right thing. In Tomsk, the SC is 58 Kirov Ave. LLC "extrem2"

Everyone makes the decision he needs, only then they run to the ZPP forum with questions.
=================================================

Well, the roast is ready and tasted. Excited!! Disconnected in 16 minutes.until the end of the program, everything was ready before, but I threw dried dill and petruha and steamed several more. minutes. As a result, it took 2 hours 04 minutes to cook: 20 minutes. * for a couple * and 1 hour. 44 minutes on * extinguishing *.
The photo will not convey either aroma or taste, but, nevertheless, admire, at least:

Dear Julia11, please answer one question.
We have just purchased this multicooker. The pilaf turned out to be 5+, but with the stewing and soup mode it is not entirely clear. Could you tell in these modes how soon the contents boil and whether it boils at all. We just made stewed potatoes with meat, but after 1 hour and 40 minutes it still did not boil. They put the soup to boil, it did not come to a boil either.

Good afternoon or evening !!!
On the mode of soup or stewing, I never boil. Soup mode and after an hour or two, I personally did not boil. I just switched it to the Pilaf mode and everything boiled quickly, since it had been languishing for hours already. Now I cook the soup on the Pilaf Mode. In principle, I do everything in this mode. Here I stew the meat on the Stew mode, if time is not running out.
And yet, at first I fried onions, carrots, I thought it would be tastier. Then I tried it without frying. There is only one conclusion: it turns out very tasty this way and that. I practically don't see the difference.

In general, I am very pleased with such an assistant in the kitchen !!!!

Thanks for the information, I understood everything!
This means that the MV is working normally, you just need to correct the instructions a little.

Has anyone tried to bake in Viconte?

(By the way, on my prog everything is boiling, on stewing - it gurgles a little)

I haven't cooked the soup yet, but it gurgles a little when stewing. I haven't baked it yet, and I don't really want to.

I, too, will not be tempted to bake in MV.
If I bake, then I need a lot. In MV, all the same, mini-pies will turn out

you can safely use it! ... I use .... nothing scratches ... and then - for the six hundredth I have, if anything, there is an internal container (the remainder of the warehouse is 30 pcs)

I really need a bowl for Vicusi, can I come to an agreement with you?

I really need a bowl for Vicusi, can I come to an agreement with you?

And what happened? Has it gone bad? How long have you been using Vikusey?
This I am exclusively interested in the future,
I would like to play it safe, spread straws, if that.

Until it deteriorates, I use it for two or three months, but there are already some light spots on the bottom. I want to send one bowl to Sibovar, cover it with a new coating, but for now I’ll walk so that I don’t remain without the bowl, I’ll buy a replacement

Now I cook the soup on the Pilaf Mode. In principle, I do everything in this mode.

I always cook soups on "soup", it turns out great, for example, the pickle is ready in about an hour and a half or two (depending on the number).
And you turn off the program "pilaf" forcibly, then? Doesn't it work until it is completely boiled away? Well, in this case, you need to sit at home and track the moment when to turn it off or does it turn itself off?

Good afternoon, take Vikusi into your ranks))) I've had a week for a week, I only came up to the stove once))) Girls, don't tell me how to cook pilaf, yesterday I tried all the rice sticky like porridge (((
Please write a recipe, what kind of rice do you take, what seasonings do you put ???
Valery, I'm also very interested in how much a new bowl costs - you can use drugs)))
Thank you all for many, many, many NECESSARY information)))

[Luiza236,]

Luiza236, look in topics Dishes from cereals and pasta in a slow cooker
and The East is a delicate matter, pilaf, cuisine and conversations
I’ll add that I only take rice for pilaf. Basmati, it turns out very tasty Proportions of water: 2 cups of rice: 3 cups of water. If I put tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, then the proportion is 2: 2. Seasonings - according to your mood
If long-grain rice - 1 to 1.7 water, steamed and Crimean - 1 to 2, round-grain - 1 to 1.4. Something like this. I wish you success!

Good day!
So I bought this miracle today - MV Viscount
To begin with, I boiled vegetables for a couple, but now I put the chicken and vegetables to stew, I'll see what happens.

It will turn out - you will lick your fingers !! And today I cooked the first soup: carrots, chicken breast, frozen butter, laurel, small vermicelli and sushi. dill - fragrant, rich!

Yesterday a friend came and decided to cook something quick with her. I just threw coarsely chopped potatoes into the cartoon, a little spices, carrots and salt, poured some water (about half of the potatoes) and put it on the "pilaf" mode. My friend was delighted, it won't turn out so tasty on the stove, the potatoes turned out to be some kind of steamed and fried below. Soon there will be a replenishment in our ranks, she said that she also needs this device.

Yes, the taste really turned out to be unusual, delicious. Even my husband approved (although he does not like stew at all).
I threw in large pieces of chicken (6-8 large pieces), cut 3 tomatoes into cubes, 8 potatoes, 2 onions, 4 cloves of garlic, 1 carrot, plus seasonings, salt, dried herbs, plant. oil 1 tbsp. the spoon; mixed and on the "quenching" mode for 2 hours - suuuperrr
Tomorrow I will try a chocolate cake, and now I put millet porridge with a delay, so that in the morning it would be ready for my men for breakfast. We'll see what comes out

I greet everyone
I received a MV as a gift on March 8 (I chose it myself, Panasonic disappeared right away - the build quality is just disgusting, everything is crooked and askew ...). After nearly a week of research, several questions arose:

I cooked millet porridge according to the attached recipe - I didn’t like it and the lid was all in a spray, and you could stick a spoon in this porridge, I had to dilute it with milk. Where do you prefer to get recipes?
I baked charlotte - not very good, in my bad oven it turns out better. The stewed potatoes went off with a bang, and the chicken legs with rice (pilaf mode) evaporated in a matter of minutes.
Has anyone already tried to bake a chocolate cake and curd?

When studying this topic, at first I was happy with a message on 2 pages about a removable cover (quote):
Look carefully, on the first photo and on the last one, do you see such a colorless plastic tongue? - here it squeezes and the lid comes unfastened. In general, a drip tray is put on it (middle photo). This I mean, maybe you live and do not know if you are so happy (end of quote)
There is no tongue there! And the unit in the pictures is not the same! Although very similar. I was a little upset .. strange that no one objected.

Now a question to Valery: You say that you tested some sample from China and gave recommendations for production. Who? Who is the manufacturer of this miracle? On the forum they write that China, and judging by the numbers on the barcode - Great Britain ... It is strange that there is not a word about the manufacturer in the documents. Was that sample also without rubber pads? It slides, you can't press the buttons with one hand, you have to hold it with the other. Recommend rubber feet and silicone paddles to the manufacturer. Still, the plastic scratches the coating of the bowl, not much, but ... And if the power cord was also white, there would be no price for it
The next question is: what happens to the program if the electricity goes out during the countdown? Or while cooking ...?
Question about the instructions: in fact, the maximum cooking time is not everywhere and the step of increasing this time corresponds to that stated in the instructions. It does not greatly affect the speed, of course, especially the incorrectness in our favor (in some places), it's just interesting how the instructions are written ...And what kind of feature is this (official): the delay time cannot be less than the cooking time, and even must exceed! That is, if I want to put out something for about 3 hours, for example, for dinner, then I need to charge it in at least 6 hours 10 minutes ??? What if I need to get a ready-made dish in no more than 4 hours? I wonder if this is so in all MVs, or only in the Viscount? Still worried about the lock on which the lid is closed: a metal loop, a plastic hook, and it seems to be already being erased at the corners
Interestingly, the manufacturer draws flowers: my color is "white with roses", but it differs from the one on the manufacturer's website. Maybe it depends on the time of year, I have butterflies, although this is a model without a signed baking, as I understand it, more recent specimens have butterflies and pastries

But, in spite of my pickiness, I am very happy with the saucepan. True, I can only compare with an ordinary saucepan on a gas stove - the comparison defies description! Its most important quality is saving my time! And time is more precious than money

Multicooker Viconte there was a sample without rubber pads, I can not recommend anything to the manufacturer (I am not the general director of the company, this is what we do ********) ....... It's not for me to explain to you how the order for the production of goods in China (the lower the cost, the lower the price) it is also useless to achieve a competent translation - the contract for the supply of the batch has already been signed, the money has been paid ... post a photo of your MV (preferably a photo of a nameplate with a serial number) and a general view

the delay time cannot be shorter than the cooking time, and should even exceed! That is, if I want to put out something for about 3 hours, for example, for dinner, then I need to charge it in at least 6 hours 10 minutes ??? What if I need to get a ready-made dish in no more than 4 hours? I wonder if this is so in all MVs, or only in the Viscount?

The delay time includes the cooking time. If you need to simmer for 3 hours, and the dish should be ready in six hours, then the delay time should be set to 6 hours. Sorry, I answered instead of Valery.

On Saturday I tried the baking function. everything worked out!!!
Baked chocolate sponge cake (chocolate on boiling water).
Took half of the serving (we don't need much).
The recipe is baked for 60 + 25 minutes. I baked exactly 60.
I had to run away urgently. Everything is baked. But 20 extra minutes would be nice, I think.
I really liked that the cake turned out to be smooth and round.
cut into 2 cakes. but it could have been 3.
By the end of the week I will repeat it for my birthday.

The delay time includes the cooking time. If you need to simmer for 3 hours, and the dish should be ready in six hours, then the delay time should be set to 6 hours. Sorry, I answered instead of Valery.

Thanks for the answer, here's how to know that the delay, taking into account the cooking time and the calculation should be done, is the end time, not the start ...

Still, the plastic scratches the bowl cover, not much, but ...

I always use only a spatula from a multicooker and in two months no scratches have appeared, the coating is good.





And I also have a drawing with butterflies and no "baking" mode, but I still baked a casserole in it and also "chocolate on boiling water", not bad, but better in the oven. The top does not blush at all. If you want to see, then my casserole is on page 14. There I turned it over.

Yes, I saw the picture, I have already tasted a cute casserole according to your recipe, it is delicious, but still I like it better without semolina.
And I have already earned one scratch, apparently when I mined a fried pilaf crust from the bottom ..

I saw a photo of the sample - but the legs were not exposed there
It was not very clear about the country. But now I realized: they ripped off a copy from the Chinese model for internal use with the help of Russian specialists, and sent it to Chinese production ... so Viconte is our brand?

And as for the competent translation .. the numbers seem to do not need translation at all.
I'll put the photos a little later.

not quite so !!! ... a sample comes from a CHINESE FACTORY .... we test it (in terms of technology) and give our go-ahead to release products AT THE SAME FACTORY only with our brand ... about the translation, we wrote a complaint ... boom to work in entom direction ... we also deal with baking ...

Here I am the darkness !! I didn't even know about this

Hello everyone!
I baked a "charlotte", it turned out well, but I would like it better.
But millet porridge did not work out according to the recipe in the book.
Girls, tell me who knows why the bottom of the pies (now I was still baking cherry pie)?

Valery, why determine the batch number ??

Hello girls and boys! I want to share my findings. MV boils peas well, etc. Rinse even old peas (a friend soaked them overnight and boiled these old peas on a gas stove for half a day), pour water over the steam mode, then a drop of soda and the soup or stewing mode. On stewing, I made pea porridge, and in soup I cooked pea soup in dust, and I throw in whole potatoes at once, cooked for 1 hour. About milk porridge 1 glass of cereal 5 glasses of milk. You also get the same omelet for 10 eggs 0.5 liters of milk 1 hour. l of salt mix (do not beat !!!) grease the bottom with butter, mode milk porridge / soup / baking. CF has a lot of possibilities

Valery, why determine the batch number ??

In order to understand at what stage there is a change in the design of the MV

Valery, nothing has changed, the word "baked goods" has just been added to the soup / pier program. porridge. But I will fulfill the request: I will write CH in the evening.

really .... the first modification was without "baking" .... now comes with baking ... we will figure out what has changed except for the inscription on the nameplate. according to serials, the assumption is this:
MT - without "baking"
EX - with "baking"

This is the general view:



This is a nameplate. By the way, why is it called that?



And this I quite accidentally discovered the very manufacturer I was looking for:



It sounds so beautiful: United Kingdom Made in P.R.C., which means People's Republic of China. But why is the barcode 50 (Great Britain)? ... and not 69. Although, the check digit for determining the authenticity of the goods coincided with the calculated one.

[Julcha]

Julcha the practice adopted at the dawn of capitalism in Russia: the company is registered, for example, in France ... and the production (orders) is placed in China, etc. Since the company can place an order not only in China, but also in other yellow countries, then on a stroke - the code indicates the country of registration of the company, and not where it was produced

MT - without "baking" on the inscription in the menu or without a function?

request for firmware sent ... waiting for response

Here I am reading, reading ... I am interested now.
I have "Baking" on the control panel. But does this mean having a function? Or just added an inscription to the panel and that's it?

Here I am reading, reading ... I am interested now.

see the answer above ... as soon as the situation clears up, I will unsubscribe

The inscription "Baking" was simply added, and the function was as it was. On the first MV, you can bake in the Milk Porridge / Soup mode.

[pilaf]

Girls, please tell me the recipe pilaf so that it will certainly work out in this MV, without experiments.
And how did you solve the problem? steaming rice, because there are large holes, rice in bags is clear, but ordinary loose rice? Who adapted how? Tell me. Thank you!

Valery, SN begins with EX. I am waiting for clarifications from the Chinese comrades.
Tell me what, experts. Yesterday I cooked a roast with spices, and so, the smell from them is still preserved, now I put the milk porridge from Admin, but it carries with spices, h., What happens ...
About pilaf: I took 2 MCH of rice and 5 MCH of water, 3 tbsp. l. rast. butter, 2 carrots, meat - I don't remember, but I think 2 breasts, salt - to taste, after cooking, well, spices, crushed garlic, and I hate onions, so I don't mention it. Good luck !! In general, I used my own Vicontov recipes.
________________________ ________________________ ___________

Guard!! I opened it to see how there was porridge in 20 minutes. until the end of the program and saw horror: the milk boiled away everything, millet was damp, milk scraps were hanging on the walls, out of despair she poured another glass of milk, oh, what a pity for the food, I think this attempt failed.
