What is a multicooker?
A multicooker is a functional electrical appliance that allows you to cook food in all popular ways, often automatically. A progressive multicooker is a direct descendant of a conventional electronic rice cooker, which came to us from the East, where absolutely everything has been written about rice. The prefix “Multi” indicates that there is a precedent, in fact, that the device is produced, for example, for a large number of functions or is in some other way connected with food production.

Tips for choosing a multicooker
Productivity
The power supply is one of the leading characteristics that you need to pay attention to when choosing an electrical appliance. Only the power of the slow cooker affects the heating speed and cooking time. Power is also responsible for how much electricity the multicooker consumes. Remember the main rule – the greater the power of the multicooker, the less food it cooks. As a rule, the power of multicookers ranges from 450 to 1400 watts. For the average family, a power of 600 to 800 watts is sufficient.
Bowl size
Before you choose the size of the bowl to hold your slow cooker food items, try to remember how gigantic your family is. Common sizes range from 2 to 6 liters. For a family of 3-5 people, a 4-liter bowl is enough.
Cooking modes
In most multicookers, regular cookware is fixed; there can be from 3 to 7 of them. Before buying a slow cooker, think about what characteristics you want to use it for and what modes are needed in it. The following modes have every chance of being fascinating: “Baking”, when you can cook bread, muffins, including cakes in a slow cooker; “Yogurt maker”, “Steaming”.
Inner bowl coating
One of the key elements of a slow cooker is the chara, which cooks food according to its internal coating when nothing else will do. Try to choose a non-stick or ceramic coating for the multicooker bowl. Of course, over time you will pass by, but every time you can change the bowl for a fresh one.
Minor functions
Multicookers are quite inexpensive, but the necessary functions are often optional, so it is important to find out their availability:
- – a timer that allows you to program the start of cooking at any desired time
- – probability of heating ready meals
- – the ability to independently set the time and temperature. Yes, we often choose automatic multicooker modes, but when you try to cook food according to personal recipes, these functions become indispensable
Design
In addition to all the necessary functions listed above, the multicooker should have a design and ergonomics that are pleasant to you.
Multicooker or double boiler – what to choose
If you don’t have a slow cooker or water bath, then you need to choose, for example, a slow cooker, as it can be used as a water bath, meaning its range of uses is much wider, and steaming is just one of countless functions. The multicooker is more compact and convenient. Some experts are even convinced that a slow cooker is safer than a water bath.
