TOP 5: which multicooker to choose

Delfa DMC-50

If you are looking for a model from the low-cost category, but do not want to save on functionality, take a closer look at the Delfa DMC-50. The device has a standard set of modes: frying, boiling, stewing, as well as several useful additional features. In addition, in it, for example, you can cook yogurt or steamed dishes. In total, 10 programs have been implemented, but this is quite enough to perform all the functions necessary for a multicooker.

Among the advantages is maintaining the temperature of the dish for up to 24 hours after cooking. Not all multicookers can boast of such an indicator. The control panel is equipped with a user-friendly display. The non-stick coating on the work bowl makes both cooking and cleaning easier. High power (900 W) provides faster cooking, but at the same time, electricity consumption also increases.

At the cost of the device, many may doubt the quality of the device. Some users in the reviews claim that sometimes they have problems with making a cake due to a malfunction in the corresponding programme. On the other hand, if such a problem occurs, it can always be easily fixed by contacting an authorized service centre. Speaking in general, the impressions of the Delfa DMC-50 owners are rather positive. The slow cooker cooks a lot and well, while being really inexpensive.

Bottom line: one of the most balanced low-cost options.

DEX DMC65

Another low-cost hit. The manufacturer has implemented a set of 10 basic modes: stewing, rice / buckwheat, porridge / soup, steaming, frying / deep-frying, baking and yogurt. Users of this model first of all note that the device does an excellent job with pastries and milk porridges. As for other dishes, they are not very different from those cooked in any other high-quality slow cooker. But yogurt, according to reviews, does not always work out. Anyway, the device can cook many other dairy products: cottage cheese, sour cream, kefir.

Equipped with a 4 liter bowl. The body is made of stainless steel. That's just right there lies another minus of the multicooker — excessive heating of the case during the cooking process. Also, the disadvantages include the not entirely successful valve design for steam release. Condensation forms during operation, which is desirable to be wiped off periodically, and a jet of steam can damage furniture over time, so you need to carefully choose a place for the multicooker.

Another distinctive feature is the special 3D heating technology. Thanks to this, the manufacturer managed to achieve uniform heating from all sides, so that dishes are cooked faster and better. By the way, it is in this technology that one of the “secrets” of good baking lies. The user can independently regulate the cooking temperature in the range from +30° to +180°, thanks to the "Manual" programme.

Some users of this model do not like the sound that it makes when the dish is ready, they find it quite sharp and monotonous.

As a result: the best combination of price / quality, excellent pastries, convenient operation.

Redmond RMC-M90

One of Redmond's top models, notable for its futuristic design and many useful features. The first thing that catches your eye is the control panel. Here it is touch sensitive.

The bowl has a ceramic non-stick coating that is quite scratch resistant. The total useful volume is 5 liters. The package initially comes with a deep-frying basket and a steamer container. The case itself may emit a plastic smell immediately after purchase, but this is temporary, you should not be afraid of this.

The manufacturer has implemented numerous programs — 45. Among them: desserts, bread, languishing, pastries, milk porridge, steamed , frying, stewing and much more. The device can also prepare yogurt, but for some reason the cups for it are not provided in the kit. A special function allows you to manually adjust the cooking time (in 5 minute increments) and the temperature from 35° to 170° (in 5° increments), allowing you to make your own adjustments to all programs. The kit includes a recipe book for 200 dishes.

The design features of the multicooker have both pluses and minuses. For example, the presence of a container for collecting condensate makes the cooking process more accurate and convenient. But the lack of a menu lock may not appeal to those who have small children. The power is 860 W, but the cooking speed is not impressive. Some users report that certain dishes take even longer to cook than indicated in the recipe book. But anyway, both the function of delaying the start and maintaining the temperature of the dish are provided.

As a result: high functionality, excellent quality, high cost.

Panasonic SR-TML510

Might be a good solution for a large family. The volume of the bowl is 5 liters, so everyone can enjoy borscht or pilaf. 18 programs have been implemented, including some really interesting ones. For example, the device can prepare such a complex dish as jelly, as well as yogurt, dumplings and homemade jam. Like any modern model, it will also cook traditional cereals, soups, pastries, etc.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the presence of a double boiler, which, first of all, should be appreciated by parents of small children and connoisseurs of a healthy diet. The height of the container-steamer is conveniently adjustable.

A self-cleaning system and a non-stick coating are provided, which makes it easier to care for the equipment. The device can independently maintain the optimal temperature of the dish for 12 hours after the end of cooking. The possibility of a delayed start has been implemented — for up to 24 hours.

If we talk about the design, it is made in the best traditions of Panasonic: black + metal. The multicooker will perfectly fit both in the kitchen with modern design and in the classical one.

As a result: a good purchase for a large family, high price, high quality, 18 programs.

Moulinex Cookeo CE701132

The model is one of the flagships in the multicooker family of the French manufacturer Moulinex. It boasts both an original design and an excellent set of functionalities.

It can work under high and normal pressure, so it combines a slow cooker and a pressure cooker. The bowl with a special proprietary non-stick coating Moulinex has a volume of 6 liters. By the way, according to the manufacturer and a number of user reviews, this coating is many times better than its counterparts. The bowl itself is equipped with very comfortable handles, which allows you to get ready-made dishes without fear of getting burned. Another convenient design solution is a small container at the back of the multicooker, designed to collect condensate. And, of course, housewives will appreciate such an important nuance as a detachable power cord.

Now about the preparation itself. It offers the user as many as 50 programs that are very easy to switch, thanks to convenient and understandable control. You can store 2 of your own recipes in the memory of the device, as well as use the manual mode.

The multicooker has a high power of 1200 watts. On the one hand, this increases energy consumption, but on the other hand, even very heat-intensive dishes can be cooked as quickly as possible. For example, it will take about 10 minutes to cook borscht, pilaf will be ready in 20 minutes.

The disadvantages include the size, since the device is quite large. The possibility of cooking yogurt is not provided at all. Otherwise, the model has practically no drawbacks.

As a result: multifunctional, convenient, high-quality, reliable, voluminous, expensive.
