Does the number of functions affect the quality of the multicooker?
The multicooker has relatively recently become a familiar kitchen unit in the kitchen, pushing back the position of the microwave. With the help of a multicooker, or even better, a multicooker-pressure cooker, the cooking process has been reduced and has become an order of magnitude better.
But the multicooker is not the same. The pricing policy, like the functionality, differs significantly in different models. This is clearly visible on the spb.aport.ru website. Here you can explore different models, their characteristics and prices. But many buyers have a question: does the number of functions affect the quality of technology?
What functions are endowed with modern multicooker
Often, a multicooker has 6 main functions: cooking, stewing, soup, porridge mode, frying, and a double boiler. This is a standard functionality that is found in budget and mid-price models and allows you to cook first courses, crumbly cereals, vegetable stews, bake meat / poultry / fish, pies, as well as any steamed products (using a special container).
In addition to the basic ones, many models have additional functions. For example, the delay start function will allow you to put food in the evening and get a hot breakfast in the morning at the exact time you set, and the auto heating will automatically turn on after the end of cooking and you can enjoy a hot breakfast even if you overslept. For those who like to cook more on their own, there is a function with a choice of temperature, which will allow you to independently set the desired cooking temperature.
The additional features listed above (delayed start, auto-heating, independent temperature selection) make the equipment more expensive. A number of other programs (yogurt, jellied meat, canning, bread maker) have an even greater impact on the price.
How the number of functions affects the quality of the multicooker
Often, the number of functions affects the power of the technique. Multicooker with advanced functionality and a large number of programs (24 and more) have a power of 1200 W and more.
Additional functions such as detachable start valve, humidity control, overheating protection, childproof protection can extend the life of the multicooker.
The number of functions determines the price, but this does not always mean an improvement in the quality of technology: it is not always more expensive that is endowed with a large number of programs.
What other factors affect the quality of the multicooker
The quality of the multicooker is influenced by other factors:
Bowl lining. In high-quality models, it is Teflon or ceramic, sometimes marble spraying is found.
- Housing. Made of metal, not plastic. Plastic, of course, does not heat up, does not allow you to burn your hands, but metal is more durable.
- Steam release. It is necessary to stabilize the voltage inside the equipment, which allows to extend its service life.
- Power. Affects the speed of cooking and ranges from 300 to 1400 W. The best option is from 800 to 1200 watts. Power below 800 W will affect the cooking time, while power above 1200 W will affect energy consumption.
- Equipment. The set of the multicooker includes a wide selection of accessories and additional features. The standard set includes a spatula, steamer tray, recipe book. A higher quality model will be complemented by a measuring cup, a grid for cooking several dishes at the same time, a ladle for the first courses. Additional features include heat-resistant handles to make it easier to remove the bowl, cord compartment, touchscreen display.
To choose a high-quality multicooker, you need to decide what functionality is important so as not to overpay for unnecessary buttons, and also take into account the volume of the bowl (so that it is enough for the whole seven), the material of the bowl and the manufacturer (so that the equipment lasts as long as possible). For example, Panasonic and Philips are two popular manufacturers that have always been distinguished by the quality of warranty service.
A good multicooker cannot be cheap, so be prepared for a low price tag.
