In addition, in this multicooker you can even make jam. There is information that skilled hostesses cook milk liqueurs in it, but we ourselves have not experimented yet.

Another feature of this device: The display during cooking displays not only the remaining time, but also the current temperature, and the indicators quickly respond to changing “weather” in the multicooker and takes into account every degree.

The steamer included in the set allows you to steam two different dishes at the same time, which is also very convenient.

Your choice mode is the ideal mode for improvisation: not only can you change the cooking time but also the cooking temperature in a quite broad range.

Surprisingly, but in this multicooker no rice program, all cereals are recommended to cook in the mode Porridge, and the cooking time to follow the manufacturer’s instructions in the recipe book or experiment with your own favorite varieties and dishes, as changing the pressure and cooking time can give the dish different nuances of taste.

Milk porridge can also be cooked in this multicooker in the Porridge mode.

It is not quite clear why there are two similar programs in the menu: Fry and Roast, especially since you can set the same time for both of them. At the same time in the recipe book, there are recommendations for pre-baking the meat in baking mode.

By the way, in the Roast program you can cook both with the lid open and with the lid closed without pressure, of course .

By design, this multicooker is similar to an English slow cooker only they do not have lids with a choice of pressure : the pot, covered with a lid, is “inserted” into the body, which “envelopes” it on all sides, as a fur coat in winter. The pot, with a lid, can be removed and moved to cool, for example on the balcony, which in some situations is very convenient.

CONTROL

Score 10.

INTERFACE: a lot of indicators, large display, convenient buttons. But in comparison with other multicookers that took part in the test, a smaller font, shallow indication of the selected program – it is not very convenient for visually impaired people to review the label next to the selected mode. Our evaluation: 8.

FUNCTIONALITY: a wide variety of programs, the ability to change the time in each program, there is a mode and a choice of temperature. Some may not like the lack of automatic modes, but it’s very relative. If you use the default time, you don’t have to push a lot of buttons: select the program and press start. In addition, only this multicooker has the possibility, in any program, not only to choose whether to cook with or without pressure, but also to set the level of this pressure. For this we add 1 point. Total: 10 + 1.

PRICE/ QUALITY: excellent for this class of equipment! Included with the multicooker is a cookbook with different recipes. You can choose the color of the multicooker: this nice little thing allows you to “fit” the device in any kitchen. +1

TEST #1 “RICE”

We give it a score of 10.

Since we can adjust the time for each cooking program independently, we chose 20 minutes., I thought it was more than enough for 200 g of rice. Set the pressure level to 2, so that during cooking no liquid comes out and no smell of rice.

After 20 minutes, you flush the steam, open the lid – the rice is ready. It was quite sticky it was the same kind . We used it to make rolls. It turned out great.

TEST # 2 “TONGUE”

Rating – 10 points.

We cooked in boiling program. We’ve set the time for 50 minutes, pressure level 2. The tongue was soft and crispy. There was no steam or odor while cooking. After cooking, we left the appliance in keep-hot mode for 20 minutes and we didn’t even have to release the pressure.

TEST #3 “SUPER”

Score : 10 points.

Everything turned out fine. Cooked pea soup, poured 3 liters. The peas are boiled, the soup is thick with rich flavor.

TEST NO. 4 “FRYING”

Rating – 8 points.

There are 2 programs in the multicooker – Roast and grill, but the recipe book recommends roasting foods in the Bake mode. We were trying to fry chicken wings in the “Fry” program. We put, as in all multicookers, 30 minutes, but after half an hour the wings were almost raw. Put it in for another 20 minutes – no use.

The sound is that the heating element works for several minutes, then shuts off, then works again, and so on.d. Well, since we were already very hungry, we closed the lid and cooked without pressure in the same program for another 20 minutes. The wings are done, but they are more like stewed than fried.

TEST № 5 “BAKING”

Score : 10 points.

No questions or problems: Pour the dough and an hour later put the finished biscuit on a tray. It was a little white on top as in all multicookers , but the bottom was darker, but not burnt. The biscuit is baked. During cooking, we set the pressure to 1, interestingly, that there was no smell.

PRESSURE

Adjustable with a special lever on the handle. The biggest feature of the multicooker is the ability to adjust the pressure to one of three positions. And you can change the pressure at any time of cooking. The first degree is recommended for evaporation of less liquid during cooking and for preserving odors.

Level 2 and 3 for shorter cooking times. After cooking, the pressure can be released by turning the lever to zero, or you can wait 15-20 minutes: in the keep warm mode the pressure will release on its own. The lever on the lid is reversible: this is very convenient, the risk of burning your fingers is significantly reduced.

STEAM VALVE BEHAVIOR

It’s quiet enough, making noise and steaming only when the steam is released, which happens when you “turn off” the pressure.

THE LID

Removable, and you can remove the pan from the body of the multicooker with the lid closed. The lid lock is opened by turning the lid and pressing a special key at the same time. And to take off and open the lid you have to use two hands: there is just no way to hold it with one hand.

It is not convenient in all situations, but it is due to the construction of the device. The lid is heavy, solid, a bit like a pressure cooker lid, only the steam valve is different.

BOWL

Multilayer, ceramic-coated Dyking, heavy and solid. It is recommended to wash it only by hand and it is easy to carry by the handy handles. The coating is made in Japan in the factories of the company, well known to the Americans for its climate technology.

But the chemical plants that own this brand have also come up with a safe, resistant coating, which is used by many cookware manufacturers.

Separate bowls for multicookers are on sale. Many housewives buy them to remove one bowl with a lid, insert the second into the body and cook in it. Some housewives dream of a second lid: because this way you can practically get two multicookers on one base.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Large set of accessories included. For example, this model has a two-level steamer which allows to cook three products at the same time: for example, potatoes are cooked in the pot, vegetables are placed on the first level of the steamer, and a piece of salmon is cooked on the second level. In addition, the set includes two measuring cups of different volumes and a set of measuring spoons.
