The Philips Multicooker comes with a graduated measuring cup, two pot holders, and a steam cart, a spoon and a plastic spatula and a power cord. A book of 35 recipes with illustrations also joined.
The recipes are accurately explained, we can inspire sen to its own recipes with different ingredients and tastes of everyone. Their number for me, the use of programs The entire house can be explained, cooking dishes supporting.
The manual has not been forgotten, but the latter consists of a sheet of paper to unfold with written explanations in letters so small, that it is neither practical nor easy to read. This manual is in English on one side and French on the other. A diagram of the device is well detailed, but it is on the side written in English. In other words, when you read how, if you want to refer to the diagram, you must exit the information and return the sheet. A booklet leafing with an index or table of contents would have been welcome.
Forget this guide when I am used to using the Multicooker, I will not have to visit ... The instrument panel device is fairly intuitive, which will facilitate familiarization with different functions.
The power cord disconnects the device and can be stored inside the steam basket. I never rangerai below into the vessel as the plug might damage the non-stick coating thereon. The ability to remove the cord can prove useful if you want to transport the Multicooker which is provided with a carrying handle; removed the cord, do not worry to have hanging and having to keep it, no risk of tearing. Taking care of the power cord, since the apparatus being devoid of On / Off switch is by unplugging you turn off completely Multicooker. Not unplugged, the Multicooker when stationary in standby.
The steamer is plastic, trousi ales are too big to cook semolina for example, grains fall to the bottom of the tank, but it is perfect to receive vegetables, fish and other food. The basket does not exceed 6.5 to 7 cm max height, I find it shallow.
By cons, after the first use, having steamed carrots, shopping for yellow tinted color that persists despite all my efforts to recover its original color. Just a matter of aesthetics, but it saddens me because this is not clear.
The spoon and are provided in a plastic pallet which itself is not dyed in prolonged contact with food. They remain so immaculate, like new after multiple uses. Designed not to scratch and damage the lining of the vessel, their sleeve short compared to the depth of the tank that i used my own utensils. In fact, these two accessories are indicated as a ladle and spoon rice on the user manual.
The pair of silicone potholders is useful to exit the hot tub, a small "plus" if you do not already have these accessories. They can be hung in the kitchen, provided they love their bright orange color. The advantage of this color is that one does not may not see, either hooked or when the bottom of a drawer!
A measuring cup is part of the accessories, useful for example to the precise amount of water for perfect rice.
After this little roundup of accessories, it is time to move to the main: the Multicooker
The 5-liter tank is thick and gives an impression of quality; néaanmoins her nest not too heavy. Dailleurs the Multicooker is actually much lighter than what I mattendais. The non-stick coating also appears to be of quality. Of course, do not use metal dustensils in this tank. On the wall of this tank, graduations facilitate certain measurements and proportions. This bowl is dishwasher-safe, for my part I prefer the hand wash. This is very quick, the walls and not naccrochant background. Moreover, its size in a dishwasher is important, I prefer to reserve the room to put the plates.
The tank has not come out and dance for lorsquelle is hot, you must use potholders. It takes up the perpendicular well, failing which seizes, he fact that there is very little of space between it and the body of the device. A usual question, but first, nutilisant quune one hand, I havent been able to get out at once because it wasnt right.
The programs Multicooker:
They are 12 in number, for various recipes, different cooking modes.
I havent tested yet but all the ViaMichelin programs used functions have given very good results. So I will mexprimer than what i experienced:
Steam cooking: potatoes and carrots then, firings of both vegetables was perfect. Only one thing, do not forget to put water in the tank!
Fry: Effective to return, and thoroughly cooking any food and especially cleanly with minimal fat. No pans, casseroles, etc. washing, no plates or cooker submitted projections.
Simmer: A program that bears his name and where one can have confidence. None of the dishes simmered jai na attached. The dishes can simmer in your absence without any risk, and when the time you programmed has elapsed, the unit automatically switches to maintenance mode to warm; simmered after the time required, your dish is kept at the right temperature to BE served and tasted when you feel like it. However, you can if you wish, make Quà the end of programs, there is no ny keep warm by disabling this automatic operation.
Boil: A vegetable soup made entirely with the device, until the mix with my immersion into another container. After mixed vegetables, donated in the tank for keeping warm until lheure meal. A success.
Yoghurt: The Multicooker is also a yogurt maker. Either you put the pots in the steam basket, so over the bowl, or you put directly into the tank. For my part, I put my 8-pots at the bottom of the tank with water halfway up and have set cooking 9am. They were perfect, stood well and were creamy as we love them. To make the steam basket, it must not exceed 6.5 cm pots high, my classical pots are highest, that's why I put them directly into the tank.
I've used these programs for the achievement of dishes, and I found that the Multicooker replaces my cook and my pots and frying pans, saucepans, casseroles, etc. In addition, when the food is cooked, there isnt any battery Washing kitchen, stove and plates included.
As I think I mentioned above washing, the device can work in your absence. You can program a delayed start 24 hours and allow the Multicooker soccuper of cooking your preparations with confidence.
Less than two weeks after the discovery of Philips Multicooker, I conquered by its performances. I hope to be as satisfied with the types of cooking that I have not yet tested, such as the oven function.
I am seduced by this very compact and space-saving device that with its 12 programs makes my life easier, allowing me to cook a variety of dishes, from the simplest to the most sophisticated, simple and fast, with results consistent with dishes that jattendais.
Japprécie easy maintenance, the tank washes effortlessly and sessuie appliance with a damp cloth if necessary to the outside and jOperation a rag to wipe the inside of the lid and its seal, wipe the water from cooking steam in the channel planned.
Just ten days with this Philips Multicooker and became an irreplaceable companion. I know I can count on him, that he will perform exactly what I ask him; it deserves to this day all my trust and gratitude. More reasons not to enjoy delicious homemade dishes!
Thank you for Philips MAView revealed another way to cook, combining pleasure and simplicity for various recipes, healthy and balanced.
