One can only mixes or ice crush, where the mixing time can be adjusted easily at the knob in 30 sec steps. But this is not the actual potential of the device. About 3 programs can be finely pureed food, preferably soups or vegetables or roughly pureed, so cook stew-like and mash without having to switch containers. This saves time when transferring and also containers which one must wash it and keeps in a small household with only a few hotplates these freely. After the stainless steel container the soup is kept for 40 minutes warm. Practical!
In addition to a manual device is still a small cookbook with the recipes for dozens of soups, stews, sweet desserts, such as panacotta, or main dishes, such as goulash or lamb curry shows.
One can, for example, vegetables, until steaming and must add water into the blender and in a provided inside the vegetable basket. This is with 9cm height and 16cm in diameter, although good cleanable stainless steel, but not too big. If the soup is not too thick or does not have too much padding, you're gonna get sick even 6 people. In a court, like the Goulash led by Moulinex, I have not only in terms of quantity, but also on the preparation of my concerns. Here can indeed ensure a goulash quantitatively prepare people for 3 (-4). I know goulash but slightly different from the preparation. Firstly, one should here fry abundant onion in a little oil, and not only dampen and selbiges make the meat, which then of course you can continue to burn in the Moulinex machine. Clean steamed onion and meat are something aromaarm and Bratsatz missing as Sossengrundlage. If not quite as tender meat (as you put even the best butcher not quite there) are the cooking times of max. 35 minutes very briefly in the instructions in the program 2. The information in the product description sauces Even I would not do in the device. Sauces have to be reduced in order to get right taste. And that's not here, otherwise it's Spa Cuisine.
Even the steam cooking of vegetables is a good idea, because steam-cooked vegetables is more aromatic than simply boiled in water, because you can boil less ingredients. The steam cooking of Moulinex equivalent to but in no way a professional steamer. Which can be seen on the steam cooking times for vegetables from the manual, eg green beans, which lie at the Moulinex at 40 minutes and in a proper steamer for 8-12 minutes. In addition, the vegetables must quite small and reasonably evenly be cut, it is also right by.
In the accompanying recipes, the description is sometimes a bit simplified. Thus one speaks there only potatoes. But there are waxy, floury etc .. As a "cooking machine" as the Moulinex is rather not as savvy home cooks, one would have to be more precise here.
Resumee
======
The idea to mix in one (!) Compact kitchen appliance, to steam and then the whole to be able to prepare well by a practical inner basket with proper meat and vegetable pieces, is good. But not too large internal container restricted portions largely on portions of more than 4 people, so for singles, couples, small families, who move without too much and after having to rinse, a passable dish wish to receive. First choice are safe here soups. From complete meals such as goulash etc. I advise here, because it is not technically cook can prepare optimally this. Since the quality unit has its price, one must be a Suppenfan to make it really effective to use, especially if you have a mixer already.
