I bought a few weeks ago the multi cooker, because as a single thought the idea was tempting morning the unit to fill and thanks programming function in the evening to be found a warm dinner. Or evening porridge to "judge" and the morning having to make any more lift a finger. Or to have a stew "on the stove" or in the pot, and still be able to leave the house because the dog walkies must unfortunately. And I have to say, yes, that works just fine. The multi cooker cooks everything so far as I was thinking that. Below is cooking or stewing for example the vegetables and cook in the steam above the corresponding potatoes in colander. A stew simmers for hours in front of him, without me having to keep him permanently in the eye or he burns me (lens!). I have therefore been a Apfelrührkuchen baked (above is not logically crispy, but with a powdered sugar Schucker not an issue). Soon there is a low temperature cooked osso bucco on the plan (using the warming function).
And here we come to the star deduction for the device: In order to exhaust it and really have fun with it, you should be able to cook a bit. You have known recipes simply "rethink" to the multi cooker can because a recipe booklet is not with him. A reviewer has criticized the fact that the multi cooker can not compete with a pressure cooker: Logically, the multi cooker works so well without pressure, like a "normal" pot, and at any time to open. How should he be as effective as a pressure cooker?
What I find good about the device: - The large capacity of four liters - The reasonably solid construction of removable, Teflon-coated inner pot (stainless steel rim) - The fact that he is from the outside almost not warm in operation - Consumes less energy than a stove or even the oven - Transportable, because surprisingly light!
