A chef in every home: TOP 5 inexpensive multicookers under 100 USD

Scarlett is a relatively young manufacturer of affordable household appliances. The quality of its products is growing every year, which indicates the development of the brand and the desire to win consumer recognition. Multivarka SC-MC410S14 is a high—quality functional product at a very affordable price.

The appearance of the device is pleasant. Oval shapes and soft colour design of white plastic in combination with stainless steel cladding delight the eye and create a sense of reliability of the assembly. The dimensions of the model are quite compact (270x335x350 mm), so that it will not be difficult to place it even in a small kitchen.

Inside there is a Teflon bowl with a 3-layer non-stick coating, to which are attached: a plastic basket for steaming, a measuring cup for bulk products and a spoon for mixing. The volume of the bowl is perhaps the most important disadvantage of this model, since it is only 4 liters, and considering that it needs to be filled less than 3/5, it will be problematic to cook something at a time in SC-MC410S14 for a large company.

Despite the low-cost, the slow cooker not only does not look like it, but is also endowed with good software functionality. The manufacturer claims to have 10 programs (9 + steamer). No frills, of course, but everything you need is there.

The control is push-button, intuitive, everything is signed in Russian, the display shows the selected programme and the cooking time, which ranges from 15 (frying), up to 90 minutes (stewing) and 8 hours (yogurt).

At the same time, the device is distinguished by low power consumption — 700 W / h, so that it will be possible to eat with the SC-MC410S14 not only tasty, but also economically.

Scarlett SC-MC410S14 is an excellent low-cost solution for a small family.

The Vitek trademark, which is actively developing in the expanses of Eastern Europe, offers a wide range of household appliances, among which multivarki occupy a leading place. The VT-4273 model will please the consumer with a cylindrical design familiar to this brand, a wealth of functionality and a pleasant price.

Despite the volume of the bowl of 5 liters, the model has a fairly compact dimensions of 270x280x280 mm, thanks to its cylindrical shape. The plastic case is sheathed with stainless steel. Everything looks harmonious and reliable. The lid is designed in such a way that it has an observation window, it is difficult to see the details of the cooking process in which, however, it is difficult, but it is quite realistic to see whether the water has boiled.

The model boasts an abundance of automatic cooking programs. There are as many as 19 of them, plus a "multi-cooker" that allows you to adjust the time and temperature manually. Among the additional programs, you can highlight the preparation of fondue, infant formula, sauces and mulled wine. The processes are controlled using touch buttons, and quite simple.

In terms of equipment, the multivark is provided with everything necessary: there is a bowl for a steamer, a measuring cup, a ladle, a spatula, so as not to damage the non-stick coating of the bowl, in general, a complete set. There is also a book for 33 recipes.

Vitek VT-4273 is a convenient solution for families with children and, in general, for lovers of delicious food.

The multicooker from the Redmond company of the RMC-4510 model received several innovative solutions, so we could not pass it by in any way.

The model is made in a classic semi-oval form factor. The stainless steel case, the cover made of black (white or grey) plastic and the recessed push-button control panel with an electronic scoreboard emphasize the "hi-tech" orientation of the device. Despite the not-quite-kitchen coloring, this magic saucepan cooks perfectly, and the food exudes excellent flavors.

The 5-liter bowl is treated with Daikin non-stick coating, which makes it more durable compared to competitors, and the lid and steam valve are conveniently removed and cleaned.

RMC-4510 can cook in 13 automatic modes and 7 additional ones. In addition to the usual stewing, frying, cooking soups, porridges, baking and cooking pilaf, it is possible to bake bread, make cottage cheese or cheese, fondue, baby food, as well as sterilize dishes and pasteurize liquids. But that's not all. 2 unique innovative software modes — "Masterchef Lite" and "Multi-cooker" make the culinary possibilities of the device simply limitless. The first involves a fully manually controlled cooking process and temperature control, and the second involves cooking using "vacuum" technology; dishes are cooked for 2-3 hours without air intake, thereby preserving the natural consistency of vegetables, fish, meat, and up to 99% of nutrients.

The equipment is also impressive, which includes all the necessary items: from a measuring cup and a spoon to a porridge tongs and a book with 120 recipes designed specifically for this slow cooker.

According to numerous customer reviews, the Redmond RMC-4510 is one of the best multivars in the low-cost class, and we cannot disagree with them.

Moulinex has been manufacturing electrical appliances for cooking for more than 80 years. The quality, reliability and stylish design of its products have long proven themselves at a high level. The MK 7051 multicooker is a vivid example of this.

Those who love this brand know that its products are not cheap, so when choosing a Moulinex slow cooker worth up to $ 100, you need to be prepared that its functionality, unlike its spectacular design, will be modest.

On board we have 9 automatic programs plus a steamer mode and ... everything. In general, the device is positioned as a multi-cooker-rice cooker, so the emphasis in it is on the preparation of cereals, cereals and, of course, rice. In order to somehow sweeten the pill, the manufacturer provided the device with such a mythical innovation as the "Fuzzy Logic" intelligent cooking system, or, in other words, an auto-cooking mode that chooses the time and temperature for cooking itself. We did not understand how this differs from the standard set of automatic programs, but we appreciated the marketing move.

What really pleased me was the ceramic bowl with a five-layer non-stick coating, a worthy alternative to Teflon, which, in fact, is a kind of plastic. Ceramics, on the other hand, washes better, burns less, and does not emit harmful substances into the air when heated for lack of them.

I didn't like the recipe book. The cooking time for many dishes is indicated incorrectly in it, which is why the food turns out to be undercooked, or on the contrary, overcooked, so it's better to use either your own skills or other sources of recipes.

Otherwise, the Moulinex MK 7051 fully justifies its reputation as a high-quality low-cost multivark. In addition, it is also relatively economical, since it consumes only 0.75 kW / hour, which means that it cooks not only tasty, but also inexpensive.

The Polaris company cannot yet surprise with many years of experience in the production of household appliances, it is only 18 years old, but it can already boast of getting into the top ten of the most popular brands of kitchen appliances in the country. A great merit in this, in particular, is the multivarki PMC 0517AD.

The electric samovar has an oval, slightly flattened form factor and compact dimensions of 240x280x370 mm. It is made of glossy plastic, finished with imitation stainless steel at the bottom and on the lid, which makes it look slightly toylike, which, however, does not prevent it from cooking quite well.

A 5-liter ceramic bowl with handles that do not heat up during cooking is placed inside the case, which makes it convenient to take it out, but the presence of a non-stick coating is not stated. Probably for this reason, some user reviews complain about the fragility of the ceramic saucepan and the burning of food.

The slow cooker has 16 automatic cooking programs and the "Multi-cooker" function. The claimed 3D heating technology is designed to evenly heat food from all sides, thereby making it tastier and expanding the capabilities of the slow cooker itself. It is worth noting that the model has a programme for cooking pizza, desserts and even beans. And there are 6 plastic containers for yogurt, which all together fit comfortably in the bowl.

Unfortunately, the excess of plastic in the slow cooker has affected, and the first few preparations its smell is clearly noticeable, although it does not stick to food, and after 2-3 steaming it disappears.

The control panel has also been almost finalized, the touch buttons do not always work the first time, and each press is accompanied by a thin squeak, which can be annoying.

Whatever it was, the PMC 0517AD is breaking popularity records, thanks to its compactness with a large volume of the bowl, ease of operation and a well-balanced set of automatic programs that will cook everything themselves while you go about your business. And this, you will agree, is worth a lot.
