Scientific and technological progress is increasingly coming to the aid of a modern woman. And cooking for the whole family takes less and less time, the taste of dishes, their energy characteristics not only do not deteriorate, but even improve with each new invention. Another novelty that has already won a wide circle of fans is the multicooker.
Instructions
Step 1
The principle of its operation is similar to that of a double boiler, but, unlike the latter, the possibilities of a multicooker are much wider. In addition to traditional steaming and soups cooking, the multicooker can fry, bake, make jam, and simmer.
Step 2
So, you have made a purchase decision, the question arises, how to choose a multicooker?
First, consider the multicooker body. They are of two types: plastic and metallized. The former have a more attractive design, while the latter have higher strength and durability characteristics.
Step 3
The second important characteristic is the working volume of the container; the amount of cooked food at one time directly depends on this. Choose a container based on the size of the pot you would normally use for soup for the whole family.
Step 4
Third, pay attention to the number of built-in automated cooking programs. The programs will calculate the temperature and cooking time on their own, you can put all the necessary products into the multicooker once and not monitor the cooking at all.
Step 5
Fourth, choose a slow cooker with the longest cooking times. Some multicooker is capable, for example, of stewing food for up to ten hours, such a unit does not care about the toughest meat.
Step 6
The manufacturer is also important. Models of global electronics manufacturers are more expensive, but buying a multicooker is not worth saving. There are electronic controls inside the device, the failure of which will make the multicooker absolutely useless. The quality of the Teflon coating is also important, since the multicooker is equipped with only one cooking container.
