Double boiler and other household appliances Redmond

The fashion for a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition makes us think about buying new gadgets for the kitchen. In particular, we are talking about devices that allow you to cook without adding fat. Steamer and other household appliances Redmond is very popular in Russian kitchens. Let's try to understand its pros and cons.

The brand focuses on new technologies, promising the buyer the introduction of the latest scientific developments in their products. One of the new products is the Smart Home line, which allows you to manage your home helpers using your smartphone from anywhere. For example, you can grind coffee and turn on the coffee maker, without getting out of bed. Or turn off and lock the iron, if at work you suddenly thought that you forgot to turn it off. Smart scales can transfer all the results of your weighings to a smartphone and analyze how weight loss is going.

The brand is known, above all, the line of multicookers that are widely advertised in the media. The manufacturer has about 20 models of multicookers with different functionality. In addition, recently Redmond switched to "multi-kitchen", where the traditional multicooker is supplemented with a frying pan, or a place where you can put a kettle.

Appliances of this brand are sold in many appliance stores. Price category - medium. There is also its own online store and a network of mono-brand stores Redmond Smart Home, where you can buy both appliances and accessories and pick up spare parts.

First you need to figure out whether to buy a double boiler as a separate device. In theory, steaming can be done using the old grandmother’s method (pan with water + colander). In addition, in any multicooker there is a function of steaming - a special plastic bowl is attached.However, both of these methods are suitable only for a small volume of dishes. They are good if the diet is prepared for a couple (for a short period of time), food for the sick or for a small child.

Redmond produces 5 models of steam boilers with different functions and capabilities.

The budget model is RST M-1103. Includes 3 baskets - i.e. at the same time it is possible to prepare 3 types of products. The water tank holds 1.25 liters of water - enough to cook even the most "resistant" products.

Of nice bonuses - the possibility of topping up the water in the tank. The set includes a bowl for cooking rice for garnish.

Buyers consider this model a worthy combination of price and quality.The bowls are large enough to cook at once a meal for the whole day. Among the drawbacks are the holes in the bowls that are difficult to wash off the leftover food. Also, the bowl can not be swapped. If the product, which is below, prepared faster, it can not be moved to the top.

The RST-M1104 is “enhanced” by digital controls and a backlit LCD display. Possible cooking time increased to 1.5 hours. You can put the steamer on the timer so that fresh food is prepared, for example, for breakfast or for returning from a walk. The heating function keeps the dish hot as long as needed.

According to reviews, the device copes with its main tasks. Buyers' claims are around the display with buttons, which in some cases fall from the first days or fail.

The RST-M1105 has larger bowls. Steam delivery time reduced to 15 seconds. Manual control. This device has a bonus - aromadiffuser. This is a special compartment where spices are poured, and steam, passing through them, enriches the taste of dishes.

However, the manufacturer from such criticism was not upset, and then released a model RST-M1106, which has the same functionality, but with a timer and a touch screen.

The most "advanced" model RST-M1101. Three capacious baskets have a metal base and large comfortable handles on the edges. Thanks to them, the compartment from the double boiler can be removed very easily and without burning. The gadget has 5 automatic programs for cooking rice, meat, poultry, vegetables, fish and Chinese dim sum bread. All other nice features - topping up water, a timer, a delayed start - on the spot.

According to reviews, this model is very difficult to find on sale, because its very quickly snapping up. Steamer impresses with its design and capabilities at an affordable price. On the other hand, a number of buyers note that “5 automatic programs” are in fact a clever marketing move. Programs are nothing more than different timers, because in a double boiler for different dishes only their cooking time is different.

Many people note that the coating of the heating element is very quickly peeled off and scaling has formed. Fat and condensate from products enter the water compartment.

Redmond produces other kitchen assistants. Many women are interested in such a device as a pressure cooker. This gadget is fundamentally different from the slow cooker:

• The pressure cooker is designed for stewing or boiling. The slow cooker can bake, fry, sour yogurt and withstand dough.
• In a pressure cooker, dishes are cooked under pressure and at high temperature. Due to this - very quickly. In a slow cooker, dishes are cooked longer: due to languor at low temperature and in the absence of pressure.
• The pressure cooker can not be opened during cooking, and the slow cooker - easily.

Redmond produces several models of multivarks-skorvarok, in which there is a function of a pressure cooker with a bowl separately inserted into the inside. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of both devices at the same time. RMC-M110, RMC-RM330, RMC-RM503, etc., have such capabilities. Of course, the price of such a gadget is higher than the usual multicooker.

For lovers of fried there is a fryer, but not as a separate device (today it is consideredthat it’s not worth keeping a separate apparatus for preparing harmful food), but as a basket complementing the slow cooker. For example, the basket for deep-frying RAM-FB1 will suit any Redmond multicooker with a bowl capacity of more than 3 liters.

The brand actively advertises the technical novelty - the multi-baker. It is a kind of waffle iron with different shapes that will allow you to bake different types of waffles, cookies, pastry nuts, donuts, pretzels, etc. There is a separate panel for roasting on the grill. Usually, 3 or 6 interchangeable forms are supplied with a multi-boiler, and the rest will have to be purchased. This gadget will be appreciated by housewives, who very often prepare homemade cakes or, for example, make cookies or donuts to order.

Interestingly, in addition to technical support, on the “hot phone” of Redmond, you can get advice from the chef, who will tell you in what proportions to cook this or that dish or what cooking mode is best.
