Features of Redmond multicookers

Keep in mind! Pressure cookers differ from simple multicookers in their working mechanism.

A traditional slow cooker cooks food by cooking ingredients, while a pressure cooker generates internal pressure.

As a result, dishes cook twice as fast..

Redmond pressure cookers
have a temperature sensor, a heating element and a pressure sensor.
However, many models are not equipped with 3D heating, but steam takes over this function.

In addition, many devices are equipped with an induction heater and a steel case, which perfectly preserves and maintains the temperature.

Multi-pressure cookers, compared to their counterparts, have the following advantages:

• cooking speed (soup - 30 minutes, porridge - 8 minutes);
• vitamins and nutrients are preserved in full;
• food almost never burns ;

It is worth noting! Today, there are many models of Redmond multicookers on the market, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.

What to look for when choosing?

Before purchasing a smart device, you need to study all the models and select the one that suits you.

First of all, you should pay attention to :

1. Functional. Some devices use PETN or induction processing of products. More expensive models have the ability to connect high pressure, thereby bringing food to a state of readiness in a matter of minutes.
2. Bowl size. The volume of the bowl largely depends on the power of the device. For a 4-6 liter bowl, a performance of more than 1000 W is required, for a capacity of 3-5 - 700 W.
3. Bowl cover. Most containers are made of aluminum and have either a Teflon or ceramic coating. The Teflon coating scratches quickly and can last no more than 3 years. Ceramic is scratch-resistant, but this bowl should not be washed in the dishwasher or dropped.
4. Power. The higher the power rating, the faster the food will cook. Budget models have a power of less than 1000 watts.
5. Number of programs. Many devices have from 8 to 16 programs. The more features a pressure cooker has, the higher its price. Therefore, before purchasing, you should think about which programs will be used constantly and which ones will be used rarely.
6. Case material. Plastic models are more affordable, unlike metal ones. However, neither plastic nor metal in any way affects the functionality of the device.

The last thing the buyer should pay attention to is the design feature of the device.

Important! Rubberized feet, a bright display, functions for manually setting the cooking time, as well as protection against turning on when the bowl is empty, control via Wi-Fi - the buyer will be able to choose the device to suit his taste.

The Redmond company provided us with an interesting product for testing.
This is the Redmond RMC-011 model with the included car inverter. On the manufacturer’s website, the multicooker is positioned as follows: “this is a compact and functional model that was created specifically for preparing tasty and healthy food while traveling. Forget about unhealthy sandwiches and snacks. Now you can prepare a rich soup, milk porridge, homemade stew, without making a stop along the way.” Our authors vied with each other to share ideas about how you can now drive in the car, while the multicooker itself cooks stew or porridge. Taking a closer look, we discovered that this is not entirely true. The RIA-5012 car inverter included with the device is a device designed to convert a 12 V DC input voltage into an 220 V AC voltage with an output frequency of 50 Hz. The rated power consumption of the multicooker is 350 watts. The internal electrics of the car are unlikely to cope with such requests, and a visual inspection of the inverter showed that at one of its ends there are “crocodiles” for connecting to the battery. A car usually doesn’t drive with the hood up, so it’s logical to assume that the Redmond RMC-011 multicooker should be used while parked. This is logical: no one would want to cut and load food on the go, and then no one would want to use whatever to hold the hot multicooker in the cabin.

We figured out its purpose: a magic pot can cook us some food both at home and in the country or in the parking lot during a road trip.

We tested all these options and unexpectedly discovered that the device turned out to be very useful in a number of situations. We invite you to get acquainted with the device, to which during testing the nickname “baby” was attached, with us.

Based on numerous requests from readers, we continue the experiment with non-studio spontaneous food photography. The article contains a number of photographs of prepared products; this material should be taken as illustrative and do not be upset about the quality of the photo and composition.

Specifications

Equipment

The box is very compact, almost regular cubic in shape, traditionally for this manufacturer, full of various information. On a black background, the logo is repeatedly depicted and the key features of the multicooker are mentioned; there is also an image of an unshaven gentleman in sunglasses sitting behind the wheel, a test description of the product and a lot of pictures on the theme of “country holidays”. In general, this is an informative box that you can look at and even read for a long time.

There is a carrying handle on top: although the device is lightweight, it is very convenient, because it is assumed that the multicooker will constantly travel, and a box with a handle, forgive the banality, is simply better than a box without a handle, even if it is not heavy. In addition, the device will most likely be stored in its own box: it can be removed and put back into it without any difficulty. He took it and carried it, much like in the advertisement.

Redmond RMC-011 has all the features of a convenient multicooker: a carrying handle, simple and intuitive controls, and a pleasant appearance. The only thing that catches your eye is its miniature size: when you first met it, you immediately wanted to take out and place dishes from the doll set around the device.

The package includes:

• the multicooker itself with a bowl installed in it;
• container for steaming;
• beaker;
• scoop;
• flat spoon;
• holder for scoop/spoon;
• power cord;
• manual;
• service book;
• book "120 recipes".

The 1 meter long power cord is inserted into the case from the back and side, which turned out to be very convenient given the light weight of the unit.

As we have already said, the device comes with an RIA-5012 automotive inverter.

Bowl and accessories

The bowl included is supplied in a single quantity, has no handles and holds 3/4 liter of liquid up to the maximum level. The divisions are also marked in measuring cups, and here the maximum mark is located higher and is approximately equal to 1 liter. The thickness of the bowl turned out to be enough to withstand the test of the “Baking” mode: our test charlotte was baked from the inside and did not burn on the bottom; None of the test dishes were burnt.

The bowl looks very small, and at first we even doubted whether such volumes of cooking could be seriously considered. However, when preparing test dishes, we found that the bowl can fit even more - up to 1.2 liters of food. The manufacturer positions the unit as allowing you to cook for 1-2 people, but we found out that everything is much better: with the maximum volume of soup or stew, both a modest family of two adults with two children, and two brutal hungry hunters who did not eat whole day.

The container for steaming has a completely ordinary appearance, only miniature; The scoop and plastic spatula are standard. But a special holder for a spatula and a ladle turned out to be a great idea: it is attached to the body, and the utensils are held in it confidently and do not fall. In this case, this is very important, because when cooking with the hood open, you cannot put the spatula on the saucer.

Control

The controls here can easily be defined as a classic multi-cooker: a “menu” button for selecting one of seven automatic programs, buttons for setting delayed start and time in hours and minutes, a “start/heat” button and a “heat/cancel” button, which turns on the warm-up function ready meals or cancels previously entered actions.

Operating the device is not difficult; you can figure it out without instructions, although if the user is not familiar with multicookers, then the instructions may be useful.

Instructions and recipe book

The instructions consist of several dozen pages and provide comprehensive information about the use of the device, management, care for it and its characteristics. In addition, here you can find information about baby food (as well as about heating and sterilizing dishes), special capabilities of the device (proofing dough, preparing fondue, baking bread), tips for preparing various types of products, listing possible culinary errors and ways to eliminate them.

The recipe book is a traditional Redmond colorful publication with good printing, contains more than a hundred recipes and is divided into two parts: “travel menu” and “dishes for the whole family.”

Exploitation

Preparation for use

The instructions did not require anything special from us, except to install the device on a flat surface, make sure that the steam from the valve does not damage the decorative coatings and electronic devices located around, and that there are no foreign objects between the bowl and the heating element.

Multicooker care

Only use a soft cloth and mild dishwashing detergent to clean the body, inner lid and steam valve. The bowl can be washed in the dishwasher, and in nature or while traveling, thanks to the presence of a non-stick coating, it is easy to wash it with your hands - the main thing is to make sure that your grateful fellow hikers do not clean it with sea or lake sand

Testing

At first we looked at what was happening skeptically: according to our understanding, inveterate travelers always have a gas burner or primus stove, as well as a pot. Tests have shown that even in this case, the Redmond RMC-011 will be very useful on a trip.

Quickly warm up food or baby food stored in advance in the parking lot, sterilize bottles and pacifiers, prepare yoghurt or fermented baked milk from fresh village milk for the morning, bake charlotte or organize a fondue in nature - things that even the seasoned riders from our editorial board would never even think of doing .

To answer the interesting question: “Won’t it drain my battery to hell?”, we measured the energy consumption of our multicooker during the most common process for both camping and multicooker food. The power ranged from 2.8 to 311 W, which at the maximum did not exceed the figure declared by the manufacturer. In total, cooking the stew required 0.214 kWh

electricity.

If a fully charged battery, say, of a VAZ “classic” (if it is not “dead” in itself, but rather new, which we wish for all readers, then as a result of our trip it will be fully charged) has a capacity of 55 A h, it turns out that a full-fledged meat dish will consume approximately a third to half of the charge. That is, our RMC-011 does not imply gourmet outings with a five-course meal in nature, but one intricate meal or a couple of simple ones can be prepared without fear of having to start the next part of the journey by solving battery issues.

We prepared the following test dishes:

1. Lamb in spicy sauce with steamed potatoes (indoors)
2. Charlotte with apples and strawberries (indoors)
3. Cottage cheese (indoors)
4. Green cabbage soup (on the street)
5. Warming up (outdoors)

Lamb in spicy sauce with steamed potatoes

Half a kilo of lamb with a sauce of tomato paste, honey, mustard, vegetable oil, soy sauce, adjika, thyme and rosemary was placed in a bowl.

A steamer container with chopped potatoes was placed on top and cooked for an hour and a half on the “soup/stew” mode.

Looking at the small bowl and miniature steamer, it seemed that the portions would be childish, but there was enough food for a hearty dinner for three people. Everything was boiled/stewed; the sauce cannot be called a culinary masterpiece, but everything was eaten with pleasure. Tasters' verdict: very good .

Charlotte with apples, cinnamon and strawberries

We mixed all the ingredients according to the recipe, adding strawberries to the filling, poured it into the bowl and set the “baking” mode for 1 hour 20 minutes. The result was a normal, tasty charlotte of a pleasant cinnamon color, which was well baked throughout.

Tasters' verdict: excellent.

Cottage cheese

The recipe advises “curdling” kefir, but we did it even simpler: we put a mixture of yogurt and fermented baked milk on the recommended “milk porridge” mode (whatever came to hand, we put it in). We weighed it on a sieve and got excellent cottage cheese, tasty and juicy.

Tasters' verdict: excellent.

Warming up

For our first experiments, we decided to heat up food taken from home in containers in advance. After all, after a long journey, you want to eat something hot immediately. We heated up two dishes: pre-baked homemade belyashi and creamed spinach soup. In both cases, we achieved the desired result: neither one nor the other heated dish burned. The lower whites were a little hotter than the upper ones, but the tasters quickly dealt with both of them; the difference in the warmness of the soup layers could not be felt at all. Having traveled 500 kilometers from the office, our employees are hungry enough to appreciate something as simple as quickly heating up food.

Green cabbage soup

This time we prepared the products in advance. While chopping vegetables, we giggled at the fact that a very small amount of raw materials was needed, sometimes even half of a vegetable. The soup was set to soup/stew mode and was ready to be enjoyed after 1 hour and 10 minutes. A great soup that can feed two lumberjacks, mountain bikers, or just three adults. Or a couple of adults and a couple of children. In general, no matter how much we doubted the adequacy of the bowl size, there was enough test soup for everyone.

conclusions

As a result of testing, we found out that the Redmond RMC-011, complete with a car inverter, can be considered not as a marketing fantasy, but as a truly useful device for those who travel frequently. The multicooker easily coped with all the test dishes, turned out to be light and compact, and did not take up much space in the trunk.

The device is suitable for anyone who loves gadgets; it is easy to operate and maintain and will significantly expand the range of culinary capabilities of the traveler. In addition to adult motor tourists, it can significantly make life easier for families with small children, allowing you to quickly provide the child with food both at home and in the parking lot, as well as sterilize dishes.

During long layovers where multiple cooking cycles are required, care must be taken not to drain the battery.

As the main and only multicooker for the family, the Redmond RMC-011 seemed too small to us, and we would advise choosing a larger device. However, if you have a small child, the tested device is perfect as a second home multicooker.

• Delay start and preheat up to 24 hours.
