How to choose a multicooker in terms of price / quality ratio?

1. Multicooker type. There are three main types of these devices. They differ from each other in conditions and speed of preparation. Classic multicookers, pressure multicookers and slow cookers.
2. Housing material. The material does not affect the taste of dishes and the capabilities of the device. Differences in design and weight - a metal multicooker looks prettier, but it is more difficult to move it around the kitchen. In addition, stainless steel is more expensive, so you can save money and buy a device with a plastic case. The main thing is not to take the cheapest models: the multicooker should not smell unpleasant, and also creak when you press and open the lid.
3. heating type. Heating elements and induction coils are used as a heating element.
4. Power. The average power is about 700 watts. More powerful ones allow you to cook faster. However, this largely depends on the volume of the bowl.
5. Volume. When choosing the volume of the bowl, proceed solely from your needs.
6. bowl material. The key element of the multicooker can be made of aluminum or stainless steel.
7. bowl cover. The inner surface has a special non-stick coating. Such a coating can be Teflon and ceramic.
8. Lid. It should have a strong hinge, be easy to open with one hand, and lift at least 90 degrees. The gasket around the contour should be soft and fit snugly against the body.If the inside of the steam valve cover is not removed, it will be very difficult to clean it of grease and dirt.
9. Control Panel. Avoid models with weak displays and confusing menus. The screen should be easy to read and display as much information as possible.
10. Modes and functions. It’s not worth chasing quantity, because the main options, such as pilaf, porridge, stewing and steaming, are everywhere. Manual mode is not available in all multicookers, so check it before buying. Of the additional functions, a start delay is useful, allowing you to lay food in the morning and cook dinner when you return home. For compotes and other cold dishes, it is useful to turn off automatic heating. The most advanced models have smartphone control, which allows you to start cooking from work or turn off the multicooker without getting up from the couch.

Which company to choose a multicooker?

Models are produced by many large companies: Redmond, Tefal, Moulinex, Polaris, Philips and others. In addition, each company has decent devices at reasonable prices, and there are not very successful copies. Therefore, when choosing a multicooker, it is better to pay attention not to the brand, but to the reviews of other customers, functionality, cost and our advice.

Which bowl is best?

A wide range of products on the market makes you wonder which multicooker bowl is best. Of the most popular bowls for multicookers, it is worth noting the following devices:

• with teflon coating;
• with ceramic coating;
• uncoated bowls.

If you want to have a universal option, then it is better to choose Teflon. It is suitable for all kinds of food. Such a dish will last for several years if you handle the dishes carefully. If you want versatility and do not want to overpay, choose the steel option. Such dishes can be used as an independent dish. Devices with a stainless steel bowl are much cheaper.Ceramic bowls are the most expensive, but at the same time the safest. Many models of multicookers provide for the possibility of using removable bowls. Thus, you can buy other options with different coatings and use them as needed.

Air grill or slow cooker - which is better?

It is impossible to categorically answer the question of what is better to choose, because it depends on the personal preferences of each. If you prefer fragrant dishes baked in your own juice under the influence of hot air, choose an air grill. If you want to cook many dishes using one device, it is better to buy a multi-cooker with wide functionality.

Airfryer Advantages:

• juiciness of food;
• tightness so that the smell from the kitchen does not spread throughout the apartment;
• the possibility of using dishes made of metal, ceramics, glass, with the exception of plastic and wood.

Airfryer Disadvantages:

• the need for a stand for the device to prevent damage to the table surface;
• some difficulties arise in the process of washing the device.

Advantages of the multicooker:

• universality;
• space saving;
• convenient automatic shutdown function, temperature maintenance, delayed start;
• there is no need to constantly monitor the process;
• easy to use and maintain.

Disadvantages of a multicooker:

• cooking some dishes takes longer than on a gas stove;
• during operation, it is necessary to handle the bowl carefully so as not to damage its surface;
• strict adherence to the prescription;
• risk of damage to the device in case of mains voltage fluctuations.

Having familiarized yourself with the characteristics of the units, it will be easier to choose a device that will help you cook healthy, tasty dishes and reduce cooking time.

Pressure cooker or slow cooker - which is better?

The pressure cooker is suitable for those who prefer boiling and stewing to other cooking methods, who want to eat healthy and tasty, and who also want to minimize cooking time.

What you need to know about pressure cookers and multicookers:

• These household appliances save time and also allow you to make the cooking process as comfortable as possible.
• A slow cooker replaces many kitchen appliances: a double boiler, a yogurt maker, a water oven, a mini-oven. Cooking time will be reduced, but this process will be comfortable thanks to the temperature control function, various automatic programs and the delayed start function.
• The pressure cooker allows you to save cooking time by 70%, preserving its beneficial properties, natural taste, color and texture as much as possible.
• A pressure cooker can be stored with kitchen utensils, while a slow cooker needs a separate place in a cupboard or countertop.
• The service life of the multicooker is on average 3-5 years, and the non-stick bowl will have to be changed every 1-1.5 years. Silicone gaskets must also be replaced. A pressure cooker made of aluminum or stainless steel, with proper care, can last ten years, it is enough to periodically change the silicone gaskets and valves.

Multicooker or multicooker?

A multi-furnace is a convection electrical appliance, which, according to the principle of operation, resembles an air grill. Food is cooked by circulating hot air inside the bowl. The food is heated from all sides and cooked evenly, almost without the use of oil. A multicooker is a multifunctional household appliance for automatic or semi-automatic cooking.The appliance uses several different cooking methods. In a slow cooker, you can fry, stew, bake or reheat ready-made meals. The heating element of the multicooker is located at the bottom. The lid of the device is hermetically sealed so that the same temperature is maintained inside the bowl.

When choosing between a multicooker and a multicooker, you need to decide on the purpose of the device. For baking and frying, a convection multicooker with a small number of programs is more suitable. If you want to cook first courses, prepare side dishes and snacks, then you should purchase a slow cooker that will help you easily experiment with new recipes.
