Tool Reviews

A slow cooker in the kitchen reduces cooking time and does not require monitoring the cooking process.

The built-in microprocessor controls the cooking modes, sets the temperature of the heating elements and the cooking time, the timer allows you to postpone the start of the process and keep the dish warm for a long time.

Some multicookers combine the functions of a bread maker, pressure cooker or smoker.

How to choose a multicooker

Multicookers differ in their design and functionality. What should you pay attention to when buying a multicooker?

• Bowl volume. Bowls with a capacity of 4 to 6 liters are the most popular, this volume is enough for a family of four. A smaller capacity will be useful for 1-2 people.

It should be borne in mind that the volume of the bowl used is less than the nominal value by 1-2 liters.

• Heating element power. This parameter varies in the range from 350 to 2000 watts.

Less power will save energy, but it may not be enough, for example, for baking and you will have to increase the cooking time, which will nullify the energy saving effect. Multicookers with high power will cook the dish faster.

• Type and location of the heating element. In multicookers, two types of heaters are used: tenovye or induction. Advanced models can combine both types.

An induction heater allows you not to waste time and energy on heating the bowl, but a shadow heater is cheaper. The latest models of multicookers provide uniform 3D heating when the heating elements are located at the bottom, on the sides and in the lid.

Budget models are usually limited to one heater, located at the bottom of the bowl.

• Bowl pressure adjustment. Cooking food under pressure will reduce the cooking time of various dishes – the higher the pressure, the faster the food cooks.

If a pressure cooker is required, make sure the model has a tight lid and a steam release valve.

• Cleaning the device. The main parts of the multicooker, including the lid of the apparatus, the sealing rubber and the steam release valve, should be easy to disassemble and clean. Otherwise, the device will retain the smells of previously cooked dishes.

• Number of automated programs. Automatic preparation of dishes such as pilaf, porridge, yogurt is controlled by a built-in microprocessor and frees you from monitoring the cooking process.

You only need to put the necessary products and select the mode, the device itself will determine the time and temperature of cooking.

• Setting the cooking time and temperature. The simultaneous ability to change these parameters is often referred to as the “Multi-Cook” or “Multi-Chef” mode. This allows you to experiment with recipes and prepare complex dishes.

Pay attention to the time interval (from 1 to 5 minutes) and temperature (from 1 to 20 degrees).

• Degrees of protection. Many multicookers are equipped with multi-stage protection against overheating, from turning on without a bowl, from resetting the program when there is a power outage, child lock, lid lock in pressure cooker mode and other protection modes.
• Condensate container. Learn how the condensate is removed from the machine – this is especially critical when using the steam function, when a large amount of water vapor is generated.

What you can not pay attention to when choosing a multicooker

• The inner lining of the bowl. Most multicookers are equipped with aluminum or steel bowls with a non-stick coating made of Teflon or ceramic.

Teflon is easily scratched with a knife or fork, the ceramic bowl is fragile and should not be subjected to mechanical shock. In advanced models, a multi-layer coating is used, which increases the life of the bowls.

• Type of control – touch, electronic or mechanical. The choice of control type is a matter of convenience and does not affect cooking.

• Off button. Many models need to be unplugged by unplugging the power cord. This may be inconvenient, but it does not affect the functionality of the model.

• Delayed start. The device, equipped with a timer, allows you to delay the preparation of a dish for 12-24 hours and program it by a certain date.

The keep warm function is used to reheat food or keep cooked food warm for a long time. On some models, this option can be turned off before cooking.

• Voice guide. Sometimes the machine includes voice prompts when cooking, which will be useful for beginners.
• Observation window. A transparent window is made in the lid of the multicooker to monitor the cooking process. Considering that the temperature in the bowl is high during cooking, as a rule, this window fogs up from the inside and becomes useless.
