The principle of operation of the multicooker

Multifunctional household appliance that allows you to reduce the time for cooking a variety of dishes, because everything happens in automatic mode, experts called a slow cooker. These products are of two types: working from the pressure of steam and without it, they are very similar in appearance, but have a number of design differences. So, how does the multicooker work?

Main elements

Almost all of these household appliances have a standard set of devices, with the help of which the preparation of various dishes is carried out. We will consider Multicooker Redmond - the brainchild of domestic producers, although it is believed that a company from the United States. There, the company was only registered, and all production facilities are located in Russia and belong to Technopoisk LLC. The main details of the device are shown in the picture:

The functionality of these household appliances affect the assembly of these or other components: for different purposes grilles, various supports, containers where you can cook yogurt, special tongs for taking out a hot bowl, and the like. Unique recipes are collected in a separate book and go along with the instruction manual.

The cover is manufactured removable design or not, but always equipped with bleed valve excess internal pressure (steam). The inner cover of the bowl is made of high-quality Teflon, so there is a scoop and a flat spoon for mixing and dredging the products - they are made of a special material.

How the device works

The basis of everything is microprocessorwhich is responsible for maintaining a constant pressure and a predetermined temperature inside the product and has special control over the evaporation of the liquid. An intelligent device, depending on the inside of the product, calculates the time required for their preparation.

The whole principle of operation of these products is calculated on what is inside special valvewhich alternates the pressure, good tightness does not let the outside air in, and the processor selects the optimum temperature for cooking products.

Most multicookers are equipped removable cable - This is done for convenience during long transportation. When you connect it to your home network, the buttons on the panel light up, some products at the same time give a beep of readiness for operation.

There are only two types of products that have differences in the principles of heating:

• heating with TEN;
• induction heating.

Let us dwell on each of them in more detail.

Heating elements

For multi-cookers, the main heater is a tubular heater - due to it, the bowl is heated and food is cooked in it, therefore it is structurally located in the lower part of the body. To heat is evenly distributed throughout the bowl, the second heating element is installed in the lid of the product, which is constantly in contact with the temperature sensor.

TEN - heating element multicooker

The user on the scoreboard sets the mode using the buttons, and the intelligent system decides for itself how much each ofheating elements, in which mode, based only on the characteristics and indications temperature sensor.

To save electrical energy, the tenes are switched on and work alternately.

Induction or gentle mode

This type of bowl heating is more progressive and is considered know-how for this class of household appliances. The bowl itself is used as the original PETN, its temperature increases due to the passage electromagnetic wavestherefore it has thicker walls and a good mass to keep the acquired heat well.

Everything else works similarly to the first option. This type of heating is also called gentle mode: All products are heated by electromagnetic waves passing through them. At the same time, there is never an excess of temperature, the products do not lose their taste characteristics and the incorporated vitamins, the liquid is not brought to a boil, because there is a constant tightness inside.

Multivarka on the principle of pressure cooker

Pledged functions of some multivarks allow preparing separate dishes with the active help of steam - products are prepared without adding fat and water. In this way, you can cook the original taste of pilaf or warm up previously cooked food.

The intelligent system, according to the mode you have chosen, opens or closes a special valve, thereby regulating the internal pressure at various stages of cooking - after a certain time after the completion of the whole process, it drops the steam itself so that you can open the lid without fear.

Multivarki, working on this principle, prepare faster, dishes are useful for people with various diseases who can not eat fatty, fried, but there is also a minus - after the end of cooking there is no possibility to open the lid before pressure equalization, because the automation just will not allow it.

Steamed products have more than rugged case, since the pressure inside reaches decent values.

Dishes are obtained ecologically clean, without any additives of animal fats or sunflower oil, in their own juice.

Many users do not want to use steaming, because they have to wait some time after the process is over, others are afraid of scalding because of the high pressure inside the case, and in vain - devices of this type are equipped protection systemtherefore recognized to be completely safe for use.

Popular multicooker operation modes

In multicookers you can prepare a lot of tasty and healthy dishes, which differ in cooking time, temperature or pressure.

1. Stews with an average cooking temperature of up to 100⁰C. Prepare such dishes of a very complex composition, like stews, porridges with various fillers from meat to mushrooms.
2. Rapid heating to boiling, followed by maintaining this temperature until the end of cooking.
3. Frying with the lid open. Heating in this case is quite intense, the temperature is maintained constant all the time until full cooking.
4. Cooking yogurt at a temperature not exceeding 40⁰C.
5. Heat support - this feature is not available in every device, but is necessarily present in popular products.After the end of the cooking process, the product maintains a certain temperature so that the dish is in constant readiness for consumption.
6. Warming up mode - very convenient function. The heating is carried out at a temperature of no more than 60 degrees, so there is no fear that the dish will burn.

Redmond multicookers from the company Redmond are now considered the most popular among Russian users - they allow you to quickly cook various dishes, fry, cook for a couple, bake bread. And all this happens without the direct participation of the hostess: it is enough to put all the ingredients in the bowl, close the lid and dial the cooking mode on the display.

Consumers point out the advantages of such devices - versatility, cost-effectiveness, very high functionality and aesthetics.

Multivarki pretty unpretentious products, if you treat them carefully and do not violate the rules of proper operation. The main thing is to follow the purity, follow the manufacturer's safety recommendations, and the product will delight you with delicious dishes and original recipes of really high-quality food.
