How to choose multivarku?
Multivarka - a lifesaver for any hostess! It saves time, energy and nerves and, at the same time, it can help to eat right and tasty. I love this kitchen "gadget", and I hope will be useful to you my tips for choosing the "right" Multivarki.
Volume Multivarki cup ranges from 2 liters to 10 liters.
Multivarka saucepan with 2-3.5 liters fit more for the lonely bachelor who rarely eat at home or for a small family, which prefer to cook a little and often.
In my opinion, this volume is not the most practical.
4-5 liters - the most popular option among producers and among consumers. This amount would be enough for a family of 3-4 people, will also supplement.
Multivarka of more than 6 liters you need if you have a large family and / or a steady stream of visitors, who must be fed otherwise, this amount shall only unnecessary waste of money and space in the kitchen.
Everything is simple, Multivarki body may be either a metal or plastic.
The metal case is considered to be more durable, but also more expensive. In addition, the metal body may be heated, it must be considered, especially if the family has children.
Plastic housing - more budget option, only if the plastic is light, it may darken over time. For me, this is not very critical, I chose not multivarku white plastic housing.
The bowl has an internal non-stick coating Teflon or ceramic.
Teflon - has some good non-stick properties, but requires careful handling, because Easily scratched.
Ceramics - considered safe for health, easy to clean, is more resistant to damage.
I think with these coatings every woman encountered in other dishes (such as pans) and has already decided what coverage is best for her. For myself, I chose multivarku ceramic bowl.

Programs in multivarka can be from 1 to infinity, the maximum number of programs that I have seen - it is 55. But are they all necessary?
In my opinion, a great number of automatic programs - it is rather a marketing move producers. For the preparation of common household dishes is enough 7 major programs, the names of programs from different manufacturers may differ slightly:
1. Buckwheat / cereal / rice - for the preparation of all cereals (cooking time 30-45 minutes)
2. Pilaf - for the preparation of cereals with meat (cooking time 1 hour)
3. Cereal / milk porridge - with this mode does not need to stand at the stove and make sure that the milk does not run away.

4. Steaming - is not so much a mode as a special grade container, which will transform your multivarku in steamer: pour water and installing container products.
5. Extinguishing / longing - quenching effect on the "simmer".
6. Soup - you can not only cook soups, and fruit drinks.
7. Baking / cake - you can bake pies and cakes for the cake.
In my multivarka just such a set of programs and these modes are more than enough. Some multivarka a separate "frying" mode, if you do not get into conversations that fried in principle harmful, I can say that the fry can be, for example, on the "baking" mode. And if you are willing to pay, and whether the use of programs such as "yoghurt", "game", "Jam", "popcorn", "spaghetti" and so on, up to you.
A very nice feature of it is better not to give up. Just imagine: you wake up in the morning, while you are waiting for a tasty porridge for breakfast. To do this, just need a night to put all the necessary ingredients and include delayed start. You do not need to worry, the products will not deteriorate - with the lid closed in multivarka the same effect as in a thermos.

Another useful, in my opinion, the function. After cooking multivarka not disabled, and enters the food heating mode. This is very useful if, for example, a man stuck in a traffic jam, returning from work.
These are the main points when choosing Multivarki. The rest is more dependent on your personal preferences and opportunities: Are you willing to pay for a brand manufacturer to see if you need the display backlight, and maybe you want multivarku with voice prompts
Most importantly - do not forget that it is better to spend time with their loved ones, not the plate!
