12 best multi-cooker pressure cookers

Multivarki-pressure cookers help housewives to spend less time on cooking - just load the food into the bowl of the device, set the cooking program and go about their business. The delayed start technique will prepare breakfast in the morning while you are sleeping, make porridge for the baby - the young mother can spend more time with the child, and in the festive bustle she can cope with cooking or boiling meat and vegetables without human intervention.

How to choose a multicooker

The prefix "multi" indicates the wide possibilities of the multicooker: it is able to prepare a variety of dishes, the recipes of which are often set forth in books attached to the purchase package. Nevertheless, there are many modifications of these "smart" devices. So, what you need to pay attention when choosing a multicooker:

1. Functional. There are ordinary units in which heating elements raise the temperature to the desired level, heating or induction heat treatment of products occurs. There are multicookers-pressure cookers in which high pressure is connected to ordinary heating - dishes at the same temperature reach the desired state in a shorter time. The problem is that not all products are suitable for such express preparation.
2. Power. The higher its value, the faster the walls are heated, and the wider is the variation in temperature setting and the choice of dishes, respectively.
3. Bowl size directly comparable with the capacity of the multi-cooker pressure cooker. So for a large bowl of 5-6 liters, a capacity not lower than 1000 W is needed, for a capacity of 3-5 liters - about 800 W, and for 2-3 liters - from 700 W. The volume of the bowl is also important in determining the number of family members, on average, calculations are 1.5-2 liters per person. For cooking meals for 2 persons, a crock-pot with a capacity of 3-4 liters should be chosen, for 4 - 6-8 liters.
4. Convenience of a design of the device. The first thing you should pay attention to is a tight-fitting lid, which should not have any play. The sealing rim is especially important for pressure cookers. The lid can be closed with a button or more reliable and secure locking elements, be folding or completely removable. The inner part in contact with food should be removed for washing - not all budget models can do this. The lid should fold back not less than 90⁰ for safe removal of a hot bowl, which should also be chosen with passion - it is convenient when there are heat-resistant handles on its sides, like a pan.
5. Bowl Coating. The metal container is coated with either Teflon or ceramics with non-stick properties. Both require careful handling, but Teflon surrenders positions and exfoliates much faster, respectively, the cup soon becomes useless. There are bowls made entirely of ceramics, their weakness is instability to shocks. The best option is a stainless steel bowl. Some multicookers are equipped with several interchangeable containers.
6. Number of programs often overestimates the cost of the device, and not always justified - some modes can be replaced with classic or manual settings.In a good slow cooker there should be several programs: cooking porridge, cooking cereals, stewing, frying, baking, multi-cook (user mode with manual settings for temperature and cooking time).
7. Body material. Plastic models are more affordable, but less susceptible to mechanical damage (scratches, shocks), the metal is a more solid and durable material, but it makes the machine heavier and increases its cost. Neither plastic nor steel influence the multivariate functionality.
8. Design features and software. Rubberized legs prevent the device from sliding on the tabletop, the presence of a display makes it possible to control the process of cooking. It is also nice if you can not only manually adjust the time and heat, but also disable automatic temperature maintenance. Some multicookers have a 3D heating function, that is, the bottom and walls maintain the same temperature, which favorably affects the cooking time (typical for induction machines). For families where there are children, we recommend to purchase the device with protection against switching on when the bowl is empty. Delay launch, control via Wi-Fi - you can choose a pressure cooker, taking into account any customer needs.

What better steamer, multi-cooker or pressure cooker

Along with classic steamers, there are pressure cookers and steamers in the device family. Compare them in the main parameters.

The best cheap multi-cooker pressure cookers

The most popular segment of any technology - budget models, pressure cookers are no exception. However, in the majority of models the models are not the most reliable, but we still found noteworthy multicookers-pressure cookers.

REDMOND RMC-PM503

Rating: 4.8

The first inexpensive multi-cooker-pressure cooker REDMOND RMC-PM503 is a real polyglot of kitchen language, because the software contains 12 modes: porridge with milk, cereal on water, steamer, frying, stewing, baking, rice, deep-fried, as well as yogurt, pasta and dough , user manual program. The bowl keeps the heat warm after the cooking cycle is over, dishes can be “brought” or kept hot for the right time. Start of the program can be postponed for the required time up to 24 hours.

The power of a five-liter multi-cooker-pressure cooker 900 W - the optimal value for the volume, designed for a family of 3-4 people.

The device is controlled by touch buttons of precise recoil, and the display will show how much time is left until the end of the cycle, in what mode the pressure cooker works, and what is the temperature inside the bowl. The inner lid is removable for washing, and the Teflon non-stick coated aluminum bowl is simply washed by hand without using abrasives. By the way, if necessary, the capacity can be purchased separately at an affordable price.

A container for steam cooking, a glass-measure, a scoop and a flat spoon, as well as a book for 120 recipes that allow you to extend the family menu are attached to the factory set of the multicooker-double boiler.

The average price of the REDMOND RMC-PM503 multi-cooker pressure cooker is 6,900 rubles.

Marta MT-4309

Rating: 4.7

In the second position of the rating is the popular multi-cooker-pressure cooker with the function of the pressure cooker Marta MT-4309. It is as powerful as its predecessor - 900 W with a similar bowl volume of 5 liters, so it cooks quickly without wasting energy and time. The first difference from the leader is only 9 modes of operation, but there are enough of them for cooking any dishes from frying, stewing and boiling to fermenting yogurt, but there are 24 user-defined modes with manual adjustment! That is, those that are missing in the base of the deep-fryers and the rise of the dough can be programmed by yourself, by setting the temperature and time, which will be displayed on the screen and allow you to stay abreast of what is happening inside the pressure cooker. A bowl with a ceramic inner coating keeps the heat warm for several hours - the multi-cooker-pressure cooker keeps food hot on demand. And so that the porridge, rice or pie were ready for breakfast or a certain time, you can download all the products and delay the start of their preparation until 24 hours. By the way, the temperature can be adjusted in the basic and manual programs.

The pressure cooker housing is metal, non-marking, easy to care for, as is the inside bowl and removable lid. Users note that the device is not the most convenient to use because of the complex design of the lid; getting a bowl without handles is also problematic, and immediately after the purchase it will throw a little informative instruction. But in the future, the owners get their attention and problems with operation no longer arise.

The average price of the Marta MT-4309 multi-cooker pressure cooker is 5,300 rubles.

Vitesse VS-3003

Rating: 4.6

In terms of capacity and volume of the bowl, the Vitesse VS-3003 pressure cooker is no different from its predecessors - 900 W and 5 liters, respectively. Its software contains only 6 cooking modes, but manually changeable programs 24. The chips of a multicooker-pressure cooker include the ability to voice accompaniment, which for various reasons does not like all users, but the function can be turned off.

In a slow cooker, you cannot cook soup, and this is a drawback.Also there is no possibility of temperature control. Maintaining the temperature of the bowl at a good level, which cannot be said about the inner coating: it must be protected from abrasives and scratches - finding a removable container is problematic. The case of the multicooker-pressure cooker is metallic and presentable, decorated with smooth colors on the matte texture of the wall.

There are no complaints about the construction of the Vitesse VS-3003, which cannot be said about the recipe book, translated, apparently, illiterately and illogically.

The average price of the Vitesse VS-3003 multicooker-pressure cooker is the lowest in the category - 3,399 rubles.

The best multi-cooker pressure cookers in terms of price-quality ratio

The more expensive multi-cooker pressure cookers for cooking improved the design, expanded functionality, they are more convenient to use.

REDMOND RMC-M140

Rating: 4.9

Redmond represents the best multi-cooker pressure cooker in the middle price segment of the RMC-M140. It is as multifunctional as the representatives of the REDMOND family of devices — it prepares in 10 basic modes, one of which is a multi-cook, which can be programmed in as many variations of temperature, time, and the nature of the thermal effect, with a total of 24 manual settings. Such a variety is possible due to the power increased to 1100-1300 W with a standard bowl volume of 5 liters, capable of retaining heat for a long time.

Unlike the budgetary multi-pressure cookers, the REDMOND RMC-M140 has a convenient bowl - it has handles for comfortable grip. Non-stick coating is maintained for a long time, but if necessary, the container can be replaced with a new one. The possibility of delaying the start of the standard - 24 hours.

In the multi-cooker-pressure cooker, the top cover is flip-open, it also has a display with control buttons. For convenient carrying of the multicooker-pressure cooker, a handle on the case is provided, however, the metallic finish affects the increase in the weight of the product. It is also necessary to take into account the relatively slow set of pressure, as well as the noisy discharge of steam. In the presence of the mode "Preparation of yogurt" there are no molds for the product in the set - their lack is noted by many owners of equipment.

The average price of the REDMOND RMC-M140 multicooker-pressure cooker is at the mark of 16,000 rubles.

REDMOND RMC-P350

Rating: 4.8

Slightly inferior to the predecessor of the multi-cooker-pressure cooker of the same brand REDMOND RMC-P350 series. Differences are observed in several parameters: less power - only 900 W, there is no possibility of temperature control, but there are also 10 cooking modes. However, the “mutipovar” function is absent, which somewhat limits the possibilities in cooking special dishes.

You will not surprise anyone with keeping pace and delayed until 24 o'clock, and with a unique design - perhaps: a multicooker with a large touchscreen display and a lid lock on a black-and-white case looks cosmically. Pumped up a recipe book, but this is a common flaw in REDMOND.

The price of the multicooker-pressure cooker REDMOND RMC-P350 is one of the most affordable in the segment - 8900 rubles.

Moulinex CE 501132

Rating: 4.8

In the third place in the ranking is the multi-cooker-pressure cooker Moulinex CE 501132 with a power of 1000 watts.Unlike its predecessors, it can work only in 8 preset modes without special user programs, but with the possibility of adjusting the cooking temperature. By the way, the pressure inside rises a little faster than in Redmond devices, on the other hand, users note a slight burning of food to the bottom of the bowl. Also, at first, the smell of rubber is noticeable, eventually fading away, and there are no problems with the absorption of odors by silicone.

The five-liter bowl has no handles, which complicates its use. But the inner cover is removed, it is convenient to wash.

Fans of the classic Moulinex CE 501132 Multivarka-Double Steamer are definitely to your taste: its exterior is unusual in a plastic case of white-brown gamut with a vegetative ornament along the walls. The average price of a multi-cooker pressure cooker Moulinex CE 501132– 4 500 rubles.

Oursson MP5015PSD

Rating: 4.7

For lovers of extravagant technology, we represent Oursson MP5015PSD multi-cooker pressure cooker in a bright red (green, white or orange) unusual steel case. It steams, in its own juice or by frying under high pressure, using a minimum of energy at a power of 1,200 watts. On the other hand, why such a performance device, which has only 7 modes of operation without a separate user program? Fortunately, you can adjust the temperature of cooking.

Another advantage of the kitchen unit - a bowl with handles, which is convenient to use during cooking. On the side of the case there is a display with a clock that displays the temperature and cooking time.

Evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of the Oursson MP5015PSD multicooker-pressure cooker, experts and users come to the conclusion: the cost of the multicooker-pressure cooker is too high, averaging 8,900 rubles.

The best multi-cookers, pressure cookers for a large family

In large multi-cooker pressure cookers, the volume of the bowl is increased, respectively, the power of the devices should be greater. This can not affect the cost of appliances for the kitchen.

REDMOND RMC-PM380

Rating: 4.9

The best pressure cooker for a family of 3-5 is the REDMOND RMC-PM380. She has a Teflon non-stick coating, increased to 6 liters, only the manufacturer did not provide it with handles, and this is a shortcoming. But in other aspects the device is decent: 1000 W power, 14 ready-made programs, 6 pressure modes and 8 - without pressure, it is possible to maintain the heat of the bowl (it is turned off manually) and the pasteurization function. At the same time there is the possibility of manual adjustment of cooking parameters through electronic control. For convenience of the user on the case the informative display is provided.

The design of the multicooker is convenient: there are practically no significant comments from cooks: the lid is removable, but firmly fixed during cooking, its inner part is removed for washing. The outer case is metal with a graphic ornament, kitchen dirt does not stick to it, but the material significantly increases the weight of the device.

The multi-cooker pressure cooker REDMOND RMC-PM380 has a nozzle for the double boiler - a multifunctional and versatile device. The manufacturer also took care of a varied customer menu and added a recipe book along with the documentation to the kit.

The average price of the REDMOND RMC-PM380 multicooker-pressure cooker with all the advantages of the unit is only 5,500 rubles.

UNIT USP-1210S

Rating: 4.7

In the second place is the rating of the pressure cooker with the function of the smokehouse UNIT USP-1210S, what is its difference from its predecessors. It can boil, fry, steam and grill - for the latter there is a special grill and a container for wood chips, which is installed on the bottom. Injection pressure accelerates all processes, and the dish is prepared much faster than in a conventional multi-cooker. The power of the device is increased to 1100 W, which is more compared to the leader in the category. At the same time, the volume of the bowl is similar - 6 liters, its internal coating is non-stick ceramic, wear-resistant. By the way, there are 2 bowls in the set, as well as a grill for a double boiler and a grill with accommodation in 4 levels.

Programs in the multi-cooker-pressure cooker 13 (less than the leader) have the ability to control the heat treatment temperature. Multicooker touch control, a small blue LCD display is responsible for the indication. At the end of the program, the multi-cooker-pressure cooker goes into energy-saving mode and maintains the temperature of the dish.

The experts didn’t find any significant flaws in the functionality and design of UNIT USP-1210S - the device receives advisory reviews. There are misunderstandings between the apparatus and the hostesses, but only in the first time, during the development of technology after purchase.

The average price is 7,000 rubles.

The best induction multicookers of the premium segment

The multicookers of the budget and middle segments considered earlier are tenovye - in them heating is carried out by metal elements. In the absence of a 3D function, the temperature distribution is uneven. Premium devices are equipped with induction technology: heating is performed by the bowl itself, made of special safe alloys, under the action of electro-magnetic waves of adjustable intensity.

Cuckoo CMC-HE1055F

Rating: 4.9

The leading position in the premium multi-cooker rating category goes to the Cuckoo CMC-HE1055F model with a power of 1400 W with a standard bowl volume of 5 liters. It is not presented as a pressure cooker in the classical sense, that is, the pressure in it is not injected, but the cooking speed is still increased due to a more powerful heating of the products and a decrease in the duration of its work cycle.

The device works in 7 pre-set modes: porridge with milk, a double boiler, cereals on water or broth, stewing, baking and rice, and yogurt starter. In this case, in each case, you can adjust the temperature to obtain dishes of the desired condition. Heating inside the bowl is uniform 3D thanks to induction. Another advantage of the model is a cup with handles and a non-stick coating. There is also voice guidance, which can be turned off.

The weakness of the induction multicooker Cuckoo is a temperature sensor that fails after 1-1.5 years of active use. The problem is solved repair.

The average price of a Cuckoo CMC-HE1055F is 43,000 rubles.

Tefal RK805E32

Rating: 4.8

In comparison with the category leader, the Tefal RK805E32 multicooker has less power - 1200 W, otherwise it is almost as good as its predecessor: it prepares 10 ready modes with the ability to manually expand the settings to 69 modes! The dishes are placed in a spherical seven-layer bowl of Tefal's patented design, imitating the heating of dishes in a Russian stove, thanks to which the distribution of heat is obtained as evenly as possible from all sides. The languor, boiling, frying, stewing - induction allows you to perform any action for cooking, keeping their taste.The necessary condition of the products is always under control - there are a lot of sensors inside the multicooker: the temperature, the amount of water, the weight of the food bookmark are taken into account, the device regulates the heating and operating time of the mode taking into account these indicators. Information about him can always be seen on the display.

The only drawback of the device is a noisy inductor, from which comes a slight buzz. Users get used to it after a few days of using the multicooker.

The average price of Tefal RK805E32 is 12,800 rubles.

Bosch MUC48W68

Rating: 4.7

In the third place of the rating is an induction multicooker with a capacity of 1200 W with the widest range of ready-made programs - there are 12 of them; you can manually get a lot more combinations by changing the temperature and cooking time. At the same time, the device will remember several author settings, and in the future you will be able to use them again.

The stainless steel bowl has no handles, but it is durable and practical: the dishes do not stick, the surface is easily cleaned, as is the plastic and metal body of the multicooker itself. The control settings are push-button, it is possible to block from switching, if there are small children in the house. We note a rich complete set of Bosch MUC48W68: a container of two levels for a double boiler, a deep-fat basket with a handle, a spatula and a measuring cup, as well as documentation.

The characteristics of the Bosch MUC48W68 multicooker are similar to the less expensive models, so the experts and users considered the price to be overpriced - 16,500 rubles, it is partially offset by a good bundle.
