COUNTRY OF MANUFACTURER: South Korea.

Rice can be cooked in programs with a Korean algorithm, and there is a separate cooking mode for this main ingredient for Sushi. In this case, the rice is more sticky. In addition, there is a menu and a program of Pilaf, but it is one-component, in fact, when cooking this dish will need to use at least 2 programs: Roasting for preparing meat and vegetables and Pilaf for cooking rice.

There are also two simmering programs, one for meat and one for vegetables. Both are automatic and differ in terms of time.

Three programs are available for stewing low temperature cooking , that is Yogurt, Slow Cooker and Manual mode. In the Yogurt program, you can adjust the cooking time, and in the Slow Cooker program, both the time and the temperature. In addition to yogurt, the program is suitable for preparing dough, while the Slow Cooker mode allows for making homemade cottage cheese and sour cream. This mode is also suitable for many dishes, even meat can be cooked at a low temperature for a long time and retain its nutritional properties to the maximum, as it tastes tender.

The manual mode is different in that it allows to keep the dish for not very long time from 10 minutes to 6 hours . Many housewives use it to “finish” buckwheat porridge or soup: it creates the effect as if the dish was left in the American oven.

The oven mode is designed for baking. Its peculiarity in this appliance is the possibility of adjusting the temperature depending on the tasks. This brings the multicooker even closer to the oven and ensures perfect results.

In programs that work with the lid open, the regulator must still be in the Closed position.

Warming/heating button to warm up the food and to reheat the cold dishes. It’s very convenient. Temperature can be set and controlled automatically.

If you’re picky, you could say that for all the variety, there’s no Pasta program. But the only inconvenience we encountered is that in automatic programs right after the start there is no countdown and you have to look in the manual or just remember how long the cooking time is.

CONTROL: 10 points + 1 Voice Assistant + 1 adaptation for the visually impaired .

INTERFACE: All large, clear, many indications, but for the fact that the countdown does not start immediately after Start in Automatic programs , remove 1 point: 9 points.

FUNCTIONALITY SELECTION OF PROGRAMS : very diverse menu. And the ability to select the temperature in several programs at once is a definite plus. 10 + 1

PRICE/ QUALITY: yes, the price is high, but it’s a premium appliance with great features. Therefore, we believe that the device is worth the money.

Included is a book of recipes, in addition, the manufacturer is launching a special site where recipes will be updated and where the owner of the multicooker can take ideas for implementation.

TEST NO. 1 RICE

Rated 10

200 g of rice cooked in the “Rice” mode in 24 min. The rice is quite sticky – such is the peculiarity of this rice variety. Steam goes out automatically about five minutes before the end of the program. Repeatedly cooked rice as a side dish and used other kinds of rice.

We were completely satisfied with the result in all cases. Rice to rice! The specialists of the company are not supporters of reducing the rice cooking program: in order to “open” all the flavor, the rice should cook for a certain time.

TEST NO. 2 “TONGUE”

Score – 10 points

The manufacturers themselves recommend cooking tongue in RR. It is also possible to cook it in the Slow Cooker mode, but since our test was testing the ability of the devices to cook complex meat quickly, we used the Soup program. A large beef tongue cooked for 50 minutes. The result is perfect! The tongue was a success: it was soft and tasty.

TEST #3 “SOUP”

Rating – 9 points

It’s better to underfill than overfill. Maximal volume should not exceed 3 liters better even a little less , otherwise liquid could spill out during cooking. The soup can be cooked in 2 programs: automatic Soup and Multicooker.

We cooked bean soup, outside of dough in this multicooker made rassolnik and pea soup. It worked, but once the liquid did spill a bit.

TEST #4 “ROASTING”

Rating: 10 points

Chicken wings cooked in 30 minutes with the lid open. During the operation of the program the oil hissing was the same in sound strength: apparently, the heater worked all the time, not intermittently. Even at the bones the meat was baked and tasty. The crust was also quite crispy.

TEST NO.5 “BAKING”

Rating – 10 points

The biscuit with berries was cooked in one hour. No problem. As in all multicookers, the bottom is dark brown, but the top is pale. The biscuits are fluffy and delicious.

PRESSURE:

Multicooker can cook with or without pressure. To deactivate the pressure the user can select the required program and all the parameters – temperature, time, press Start and immediately press the Timer/Reset button.

On the display there is an indicator – No pressure Under pressure, in this case the position of No pressure will be shown and the Voice Guide will inform you that the pressure is turned off. Temperature and pressure are monitored by 3D sensors.

STEAM VALVE BEHAVIOR

When the pressure is low, there is no steam or noise inside, when the pressure is equalized, steam begins to come out with a characteristic noise. A voice assistant and an audible indicator reminiscent of the sound of a steam engine warns of an automatic high steam release.

COVER

For the multicooker to work even if the lid is open, you need to put the lock knob in the Closed position. The lower layer of the lid, the so-called protective screen, is removable, it should be regularly rinsed and cleaned of grease.

BOWL

It is multi-layered and heavy. As manufacturers assure, made of environmentally friendly materials. X WALL non-stick coating is an exclusive Cuckoo patent.

With proper use, the lifetime of the bowl is at least 5 years.

The bowl consists of 5 layers, each of which is a specific metal with its own thermal conductivity. The “package” further increases thermal conductivity, resulting in faster and more energy-efficient cooking in the bowl than in conventional pots.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Set the timer according to the time by which the dish is to be cooked. Clock with 24 hour setting. Makes it easy to use the timer function.
