A multicooker is an electric pan with a wide range of functions and modes. The word "multi" means multifunctionality.
- The device replaces an arsenal of kitchen units: a double boiler, a slow cooker, an oven, a yogurt maker.
- Thanks to its tightness, it cooks faster than on the stove and saves you time. Dishes are obtained with a rich taste and aroma. The baked goods are baked, but the top is not browned in every model. The porridge is steamed.
- Automated functions "untie your hands": the pan cooks without your presence and keeps food heated for 12 to 24 hours.
The multicooker can be used for slow cooking and simmer at 70 ° C for five hours or more.
Why is it convenient to cook in the cartoon
- You do not need to remove the foam from the broths.
- Food does not boil over or burn.
- It "reaches" by itself to an unmatched condition and retains nutrients. How did grandmother do in the village? I cooked a pot of borscht in the morning, and it will be ready for dinner.
- Plus, there is a minimum of fat and no "fried crusts" full of carcinogens.
What is the difference between a multicooker and a multicooker-pressure cooker
The main difference between a multicooker and a multicooker-pressure cooker: the second cooks under pressure. The device heats the bowl evenly, pumping heat inside. Due to this, dishes are cooked twice as fast as in a conventional multicooker.
It's easier to cook in a cartoon:
- At any time, you can open the lid to add another ingredient or follow the cooking process.
The pressure cooker "requires" a different approach:
- All food should be immediately put into the pan so as not to open it during cooking. Otherwise, the program settings get confused, they will have to be reinstalled.
- Not all models will automatically release pressure at the end of cooking. You will have to manually open the valve to relieve pressure. Therefore, you risk getting burned.
After reflecting on the question: "Which is better: a slow cooker or a pressure cooker?", I came to an unambiguous conclusion:
- If the duration of cooking is not important for you, you do not want to delve into the peculiarities of the valve turns and are afraid of getting scalded by the steam, buy a multicooker.
- The pressure cooker is worth taking for those who value time.
