One of those appliances in the kitchen that allows you to save time as much as possible and at the same time receive high-quality and deliciously prepared various dishes - this is a multicooker-pressure cooker. This is a device that combines the functions of two devices. In other words, this is a multicooker, in which the function of cooking under high pressure was added. This method of cooking allows you to quickly heat food, which means that they reach readiness much faster. A slow cooker combining two cooking methods should have two valves. One for pressurizing, the other as a fuse.
Multicooker Operation
Such a kitchen helper is appreciated when the housewife tries with her help to cook jelly, stew vegetables or cook jam.
With all the variety of models, making a choice is not so simple. Therefore, it is recommended that you rely on the following criteria when purchasing:
- Power. For home use, a device with a power of up to 900 watts will be enough. If there are extra cash assets, then you can purchase a device and more powerful, from 1 kW.
- Bowl material. It is better to give preference to a vessel made of aluminum, stainless steel, or metal coated with ceramic.
Slow Cooker Bowl
Such a bowl is good and durable, as it is able to withstand high temperatures.
- It is equally important to pay attention to the gasket of the bowl. It can be silicone or rubber. Silicone will last much longer, it will withstand any aggressive effect.
- The size of the bowl is selected based on the number of servings, how many are required to cook.
- Cover design. Removable is easier to wash, unlike the one that does not detach from the multicooker body.
- It is also important to consider the location of the exhaust valves, built-in protective functions and the variety of modes.
When compiling a rating of multicookers, not only the technical characteristics of the model were taken into account, but also the opinions of customers. Another important factor that has been taken into account is the perfect combination of price and quality.
