Test Oursson MP5005PSD multicooker

You can not say that this appliance is designed to be exempt from cooking. On the contrary, it awakens the creativity, liberates, allows you to improvise with new complex dishes, especially in the recipe book there are many different options.

CONGRATULATIONS

This is a maximum multi-functional appliance, which is typical of Oursson technique. It’s a casserole, pressure cooker, yogurt maker and compact oven. In principle, this small model can replace the stove. A pity that it is not possible to cook several dishes at the same time, for example, soup and stew.

Personally, we liked boiling and stewing best, and set the Yogurt program for overnight. There are so many modes, that it is difficult to try them all at once. After buying it, a housewife will spend a lot of time experimenting with different modes and their combinations.

You can save time by using high pressure. So we cooked the bean soup in only 45 minutes the beans came out very soft , the meat broth in 1 hour. So for busy users it’s just as easy as a pressure cooker to make cold cuts, boil tough meat, etc. It is.

very convenient that the heating can be started with one button, and this program is automatically deactivated. This allows even a school-age child to easily reheat his or her lunch. In the menu there are also similar programs – Heat and Preheat, Roast and Roast. And if the first couple differs in the fact that heating is the transformation of cold into hot, and reheating is keeping the dish warm for some time, then frying from roasting differs, in our opinion, only the default time set.

Actually, we can’t really fry any foods in this multicooker until they are crispy. This is also a plus: all products are cooked at temperatures close to 100°C, so that they retain maximum nutrients and vitamins and are healthy. We are faced with a device for healthy eating, which is very important nowadays. This is emphasized by the simmering mode, which allows you to cook for a long time at a temperature of less than 100 ⁰C. Thanks to such gentle cooking, the product retains its natural flavor, vitamins and nutrients.

Special steam container easily turns this multicooker into a steam cooker. Since the lid closes tightly and it is possible to cook under pressure, the water boils away very slowly, which makes cooking easier.

CONGRATULATIONS

It is very easy and comfortable to operate the multicooker. Everything can be seen on the display, the keys are signed. The only tricky part is closing the lid. In principle, there is nothing inconvenient, but you have to get used to it, so that it goes in the grooves and clicks.

Display during cooking not only the time remaining, but also the current temperature. In general, everything is under control.

It is convenient that there is a display of cooking capacity.

FEATURES

Maximal volume – 5 l.

Ceramic-coated container DYKING.

13 safety levels, including over-temperature shut-off, lid-lid lockout, lid closing control, double over-pressure protection, etc..

Accessories: Steam cooker with rack on two levels, measuring jugs of 200 ml and 500 ml, measuring spoons, stirring spoon, lid.

INGREDIENTS

This multicooker has a heavy and “complicated” lid. This is due to the ability to cook under pressure. Remember the lids of pressure cookers? This one is incomparably more convenient than those, but more cumbersome than conventional multicookers.

It can only be taken by the handles, on top there is a device for steam escape, so it is not possible to hold a plate in one hand and take off the lid with the other at the same time. First you will need two hands to open the lid, put it down, and then put the finished dish. Perhaps this is the only inconvenience in dealing with the device, and that functionally conditioned.

CARING

All parts of the lid and pressure regulator unit should be washed regularly with water. Once every six months or once a year it is recommended to check the o-ring and the individual parts of the high pressure controller. In case of wear and tear, the parts must be replaced.

Cooking tank must be washed by hand. Since nothing burns, it is easy to clean with a normal sponge and dishwashing detergent.

The inside of the pan is non-stick, so it is recommended to stir the ingredients with the spoon provided or with a wooden spatula.

INSTRUCTIONS AND RECIPE BOOK

The instruction manual is in American – high quality, detailed, understandable, made in high-quality printing. But some information is hard to find, for example, we could not find out if it is possible to turn on high pressure in the Fry programs and what the DYKING coating is. But this can be treated as a nag.

The book of recipes is very “tasty”, if I may say so. I’m drooling as you read. The most interesting recipe is New England Clam Chowder.

But there is a drawback: the yogurt recipe is located in the common table. We, for example, found it already after having cooked this product several times. That’s why we didn’t use a heat-resistant container which by the way is not included and a steamer stand, but simply poured 1 liter of milk into a pot and added a cup of yogurt without additives, closed the lid, turned on the yogurt program, set the 8 hours of cooking – and we enjoyed a delicious and delicate product for breakfast.
