Choosing a multicooker for your home: honest advice
In principle, a modern multicooker is suchyourself an electric saucepan, consisting of a bowl with a non-stick coating (ceramic or Teflon) and a heating element. The fastest and most energy-efficient are induction multicooker, which heats up to the required temperature almost instantly (and at the same time preserves more vitamins and useful components in food). Also, each multicooker has sensors and control buttons - for selecting a mode, setting the temperature and other parameters.
The multicooker body can be plastic (then it will be cheaper) or stainless steel (then it will be heavier, but more durable). There are these types of multicooker on the market:
- just a multicooker is the one where in the bowlthe products are laid, the lid is closed, we set everything up with the buttons - and drove off. And during the cooking process, if we want to add (or remove) something - you are welcome, open the lid, add what you need, close and cook further.
- Multicooker-pressure cooker - food is not prepared herejust like that, but under pressure - and therefore everything is cooked - steamed much faster (on average, meat dishes are cooked for only half an hour). But you cannot open the lid before the end of the program (which means that you will not be able to add any ingredients during the cooking process).
- Slow cooker - and this is the opposite of the abovesaucepan. There are times when there is no need to rush, and the dish must simmer for a long time and delightfully (for example, pilaf, bograch, etc.) It is in such cases that this device comes in handy.
- A rice cooker is a special case of a multicooker, specially designed for cooking rice (bravo, cap!) And other cereals, where they come out perfectly crumbly.
- A multi-kitchen is a multifunctional gadget that combines the properties of a multicooker, stove (oven), and sometimes a grill.
Multicooker bowl volume: how to choose?
Of course, you need to focus on the number of eaters.For a young couple and even a couple with 1 child, a working volume of a bowl of 3 liters is quite sufficient. After all, smaller bowl ⇒ smaller power ⇒ less energy consumed.
But if there are more than 2 adults in the family, takeA 5 liter multicooker is a universal size. But for hospitable owners who like to host large companies at home (or who simply like to cook once for several days), a gadget with a capacity of 6 or more liters, such as the MOULINEX Cook4Me CE7011 Multi-Cooker-Pressure Cooker, will come in handy.
What power of the multicooker should you focus on?
As we have already said, power is directly related to the volume of the bowl. The smallest multicookers have a power of about 800 W, the medium ones - 800 - 1100 W, and everything higher is for large multicookers.
What can you cook in a multicooker?
Actually, everything, even in the most inexpensive REDMONDSkyCooker RMC-M92S can cook almost the entire home table menu. But you're probably wondering what you can cook automatically (that is, have it cook for you). Most often, multicookers have the following automatic modes:
- porridge (any cereals are cooked friable: buckwheat, rice, millet, etc.),
- soup (you immediately add all the ingredients and just turn on the gadget),
- pilaf (judging by the reviews of insiders it comes out excellently),
- dough,
- baking (including homemade bread) - pay attention, first you need to mix the dough (and, if necessary, let it come up), and then bake the bread using the "baking" mode,
- stewing (you can stew anything, moreover, without the use of fat at all - meat, fish, vegetables are stewed in their own juice, they are aromatic, dietary, tasty and healthy),
- the steamer is all the same that you were going to stewor cook, you can boil it for a couple - it will be even more tender and even more correct (if you bother with PP). And the steamer mode is very convenient for heating food,
- frying - if all these tales about proper nutrition are already in your throat, and you want a good old potato with a golden crust - the owner is the master.
And besides automatic modes, there is a manual one -when you can set the temperature yourself, determine the order of the food and the cooking time at each stage - but for this you need to gain some experience of cooking in a multicooker.
The main functions of the multicooker
As we said, many multicooker is equipped with a pressure cooker option - for this, the cooking process takes place under pressure.
Also, as we just mentioned recently, in all multicooker you can cook in manual mode - when you set the temperature and technology, referring to the recipe and varying the parameters at your discretion.
Often in modern multicooker there isautomatic heating function - it can turn on automatically as soon as the dish is ready - so that whenever you decide to try your masterpiece, it will be warm.
Another convenient and favorite function of the housewives is the delayed start - when leaving for work you put in food and set the timer so that dinner is just ripe by the time you return home.
In some models, the temperature can be controlledalready in the process of executing a standard program, and in others - turn off the auto-heating (for example, when dough or yogurt is being prepared - to avoid unnecessary overheating) - everything is individual here.
Here are some more expert tips on how to choose a loyal kitchen friend:

Auto heating and delayed start are also present. The difference with the previous one is that this multi has a stainless steel case (as we remember, this increases the reliability of the device, but also its weight). Well, the fact that this is a pressure cooker, of course. Manual time and temperature settings (push-button control), LCD-display, the timer is set to a maximum of 1440 min, and the power is 1000 W.

Another pressure cooker from a French brand, butmore serious than the previous one, albeit in a plastic case. Let's start with the fact that it already has 50 programs. The power is 1200 W and the bowl volume is 6 liters - that is, we are dealing with a large gadget for a company with immodest appetites. Of course, its dimensions are larger than the previous one, although not by much: 35.6 × 35.4 × 37.6 cm.
She has an intelligent menu (in Russian),LCD display and rotary switch control. You can manually adjust not only the cooking time, ingredients (so the multicooker knows what it's dealing with) and the number of servings, but also the pressure level. After all, you can choose fast cooking at both high pressure (70 kPa) and low pressure (40 kPa), or you can choose no pressure at all. This multicooker also has a frying mode at 160°C, keeping warm (63°C) and warming up (70°C).
If you don't want to guess and set the temperature and pressure manually, you can configure the automatic selection of these parameters.
Separately, I would like to say about the bowl - it is thick, has side handles, 6 security levels and a non-stick ceramic coating.
If you believe the reviews, borscht or solyanka is prepared in 6–8 minutes, and kutia in 5 minutes. As with the previous one, the manufacturer provides a 2-year warranty.

It seems to be the most expensive multicooker in ourthe list. With multi-cook function, 3D heating, most importantly, induction. Of course, there are also functions for automatic heating and delayed start. The inner lid and steam valve are removable here, there is a separate container for collecting condensate and a grate for deep fat. The set also includes a spoon, a spatula, a measuring cup and a recipe book.
The bowl volume is standard 5 liters, the coating is Teflon, so it is better not to stir anything in the multicooker with anything other than the included spoon or spatula.
Nevertheless, you can wash the multicooker bowl in a typewriter, and if you wash it by hand, do it with a soft sponge without too much pressure.
There are 16 automatic modes in total, with 2mode, which the multicooker remembers based on the settings you set - “My Mode”, and of course, manual adjustment of time and temperature (from 40°C to 160°C). The heating power of the gadget is 1200 W.
If something happens, for example, the house turns off the electricity during cooking, then after turning on the smart pressure cooker will restore all settings.
The stainless steel case has sufficient thermal insulation, the display is blocked from children - so the baby can crawl even on the table with a working multicooker - he does not threaten to burn himself.
And in the description of the model it is said about the intelligent modes of cooking borscht and pilaf - and not every living housewife can boast of this.
The dimensions of the gadget are typical for similar ones: 30x32x40 cm. The German brand gives it a 2-year warranty. Read the rave reviews here.

Our list would be incomplete without multi-kitchen devices. Theoretically, it can replace all kitchen appliances, together with the hostess.
The fundamental difference between a multi-kitchen and a multi-cookerthe fact that the heating element in it is flat and mobile. Therefore, if you do not want to stew or bake, but fry the pancake, you just need to raise it and put a frying pan on it - as on a regular burner. And even with the heating element raised, you can cook a small amount of food - when you need 1 - 2 servings, and not a whole pan, and there is no need to waste resources. Moreover, all programs mutikukhni (and their automatic - 40) are available both with the raised and lowered heating element.
Otherwise, this cartoon has everything that is already familiarto us the functions of a multicooker: delayed start, automatic heating (which can also be turned off if desired), 3D heating and a removable steam valve for accelerating and uniform cooking of food throughout the bowl, steamer and multi-cook modes.
And also this gadget comes with a not sickly kitaccessories: a container for making yoghurt, a double boiler, a frying pan (it is the complete pan that fits perfectly in diameter), tongs, a spatula, a ladle, a measuring cup and a recipe book.
The 5L bowl has a ceramic non-stick coating, but it is still better to use a “original” spatula. Push-button control, LED display, menu language – Russian – all for ease of use.
1000W power, temperature adjustablefrom 35°C to 170°C. What else is left to tell you about this gadget? Except that the dimensions are: 40.5×31×28.5 cm and the warranty is 2 years. And read everything else in the reviews.
