BORK shares an attentive approach to home cooking. Representatives of the company offered to take any of their equipment and evaluate how useful it is for a person who monitors WHAT and HOW to cook. I liked the idea and agreed. And now a real testing ground unfolded in my kitchen. The company sent a whole list of household appliances to choose from. At first I behaved modestly, but then I went wild: “Let’s do this, this and this! And this too! Is this possible? Is it possible? Really? Let’s do it!” A total of 10 different devices were delivered.
My kitchen has been transformed. All the brand's "household items" are made in a single luxurious metal design and begin to please immediately after unpacking. A superficial study of the instructions showed the presence of all sorts of fine cooking settings. You can even brew a dozen tea different ways depending on its type and desired strength. All equipment is equipped with timers and smart modes: if you choose the right one, options with “undercooking” or “overcooking” are excluded. Your products travel from the counter to the plate as carefully as possible.
Let's now put words into action and prepare a delicious healthy dinner! I decided to do fish cutlets and asparagus for my wife, beef on the bone for myself, and ice cream for dessert...
There are so many brand new boxes that it makes your eyes wide open. Where to start, everything is so delicious:

First, I decided to assemble and connect all the devices, and only then test each device sequentially:

In terms of assembly, the juice press turned out to be the most intricate. There are three containers that need to be inserted into each other correctly, and it’s not easy to figure out on the spot:

The meat grinder works the same way as a MacBook fan during photo processing. That is, it is very quiet. You can twist the meat even in the middle of the night:

Samsung Microwave - with air fryer
There is a misconception that microwave food is harmful. This is wrong. Moreover, due to the absence, for example, of contact with boiling water (as during cooking), significantly more vitamins and useful substances. In 2017, the Koreans supplemented an already generally “healthy” device - a microwave oven - with an air fryer, which immediately brought it into the healthy lifestyle equipment segment, and also allowed it to get into our TOP.
Samsung MW3500K ( MG23K3575AS). Cost - 11,000 rubles
In the microwave Samsung MW3500K, in addition to the airgyl function, which allows you to cook without any oil or with a minimum of it, there is an interesting mode that briefly prolongs the cooking of dishes and “organizes” an appetizing crust (the grill is turned on).

Hotpoint set for sous vide - at home, like in a restaurant
Have you ever tried a dish prepared using the sous vide method - in vacuum packaging, at a low temperature (up to 90 degrees)? They are now fashionable in good restaurants. If you haven't yet, be sure to try it. The dishes are not only healthy (gentle heat treatment- nutrients are better preserved), but also very tasty - because vacuum packaging retains all juices and aromas.
Hotpoint SV GHX0 VS GHB0. Cost - 15,000 rubles
Hotpoint SV GHX0 VS GHB0 is a set that allows you to pamper yourself and your family more often with sous vide dishes. It includes a high-precision immersion heater-thermostat (heats water) with a power of 1300 W, a vacuum sealer and a book with 50 recipes for healthy eating. Electronic heater control allows you to control cooking time and temperature. It will signal when the dish is ready and turn off if it “feels” that there is not enough water.
The price for such a generally simple device (even if there are two of them) is, of course, not very humane. But it’s a fashionable thing, so for now it’s like this. Most likely, during 2018 we should expect the appearance of similar sets from competitors (the Chinese have been making them for a long time, they just haven’t really been seen in our market), which may well lead to a reduction in price.
Key Features of Hotpoint SV GHX0 VS GHB0:
− power: 1300 W
− universal fastening to dishes
− automatic shutdown without water
− timer
− thermostat
− sound signal preparations
Everyone knows that a kitchen needs a stove and a refrigerator. What about the small ones? household appliances? There are so many varieties of it that you can get confused. And we get along just fine without some devices - are they really necessary?
All small kitchen appliances can be divided into the following categories:
- for cooking food
- for grinding and mixing
- for preparing drinks
- other equipment
In this article and in its continuation, we will look at what functions it performs. small equipment for cooking, and you will read about other appliances in the Kvartblog in the very near future. Stay tuned!
Microwave
What is he doing? It's hard to imagine a modern kitchen without microwave oven. It can be used to heat and defrost food, cook semi-finished products and simple dishes, and with expanded functionality, bake complex dishes and grill.
Is that really necessary? A microwave makes life a lot easier: heating food is more convenient than in a frying pan or pan, and defrosting is much faster. If you don't have room for a microwave, you can buy an oven that has a microwave function.
Roaster (mini-oven, electric oven)
What is he doing? This device is a compact substitute for an oven, microwave and toaster. The capabilities of each mini-oven depend on its size and functionality: some can only cope with heating and quick baking, while others are almost as good as full-fledged ovens.
Is that really necessary? If you have big kitchen and you already have an oven, a microwave, and a toaster (or you don’t need one), then the roaster is useless for you. Otherwise, it's great option save both space and money.
Multicooker and steamer
What is he doing? The classic multicooker combines the functions of a pressure cooker, rice cooker, kettle cooker, steamer and bread maker. Not to mention that with the help of a multicooker you can prepare stew, soup or compote without even turning on the stove. Some models have expanded functionality: you can fry, deep-fry and make homemade yoghurt. If, of all the above, you only need to steam dishes, then choose a regular steamer - it will cost less.
Is that really necessary? A slow cooker or double boiler is a huge time and effort saver. Since the device itself monitors all processes, you don’t have to know how to cook and don’t have to worry about something burning or boiling over. These devices are compact, but you still have to find a place for them, and multicookers with good functionality are not cheap (but still cheaper than an average oven), so it’s up to you to entrust the cooking to a multicooker or to stand at the stove yourself.
Who is the multicooker especially useful for:
- for amateurs healthy food;
- those who are on a diet;
- young parents;
- those who have little free time;
- for those who don’t like or don’t know how to cook.
Air fryer
What is he doing? The air grill performs the functions of a mini-oven, microwave and part of the functions of a multicooker: in addition to grilling, it can fry, stew, steam, cook, smoke, bake, heat, dry, and so on. Full list functions depend on the specific model. An air fryer looks like a glass bowl with a lid, and cooking occurs according to the same principle as in a convection oven - due to hot air.
Is that really necessary? If you need the above cooking methods, then you won’t be able to get by with an oven or mini-oven. Usually the choice is between a multicooker and an air fryer, but this is a separate big topic. If you have a convection oven at home, you can skip the oven, that is, save space in kitchen set and win money.
Electric grill
What is he doing? This device operates more like a grill pan than a classic grill on a grate. The device's textured bottom and lid press and heat food on both sides, ensuring fast, even cooking and attractive stripes. In addition to meat and vegetables, you can make toast and hot sandwiches using an electric grill.
Is that really necessary? An electric grill allows you to cook quickly and without problems tasty breakfast or the second, but is replaced by using an oven or grill pan.
Kebab maker
What is he doing? Real barbecue at home without a grill is real. Kebabs usually have a vertical shape: skewers are installed around central source heat and rotate constantly so that the kebab cooks evenly.
Is that really necessary? Can’t imagine how to wait until good weather to go to the barbecue? Do you want to surprise your guests? In this case, you need a kebab maker. But it’s definitely not on the list of must-have kitchen appliances.
Toaster
What is he doing? Allows you to get several delicious pieces of toasted bread for breakfast in a minute. A nice bonus is that the degree of frying is easily adjusted, and the switch off occurs automatically, that is, the bread will not burn.
Is that really necessary? If toast is regularly included in your menu, the device will be very useful. The bread will turn out nicer than from a frying pan, and faster than from the oven. A toaster can only compete with a mini-oven (roaster).
Sandwich maker and waffle iron
What is he doing? Often the same device with replaceable inserts copes with the preparation of hot sandwiches, sandwiches and waffles, but separate devices are also sold. Mechanically, a sandwich maker or waffle iron is similar to an electric grill and can even replace it if it has an insert with ribs.
Is that really necessary? If you have an electric grill, it will do a good job as a sandwich maker, although it is larger in size. But if you also like to cook waffles, puff pastries or curly pancakes, look for a model with replaceable inserts for these tasks.
Bread maker
What is he doing? Fresh homemade bread fresh from the oven - if this is a pleasure that you value, a bread machine will help you: you just need to load it with the ingredients according to the recipe, and it will do the rest, including kneading the dough.
Is that really necessary? It all depends on your love for bread. Most multicookers also have a bread machine function, not to mention the oven, but you will have to knead the dough by hand. Maybe look for a good bakery close to home?
deep fryer
What is he doing? Convenient device for preparing French fries, donuts and various crispy breaded dishes. It consists of a container into which oil is poured and a mesh basket for lowering products. Some deep fryers can also be used for fondue.
Is that really necessary? Unless, of course, you only eat deep-fried food (which is unlikely), you can cook it in a simple deep frying pan/saucepan or slow cooker. Yes, cooking in a special deep fryer is faster and easier, but you can do without it.
Pancake maker
What is he doing? A small round tile with a non-stick surface and uniform heating: you pour the dough onto it and spread it, or even dip it into the dough itself (called an immersion pancake maker) and - voila! - ready the thinnest pancakes for breakfast.
Is that really necessary? Pancakes turn out thinner and cook faster, so on the eve of Maslenitsa or for big family the device will be useful. But if you don’t want to look for a place for a pancake maker, a frying pan and some skill can easily replace it.
Egg boiler
What is he doing? Boils eggs. It just does it with steam, so the protein turns out more tender. Special settings will help you get an egg desired consistency: hard-boiled, “in a bag” or soft-boiled. Silicone egg cookers are specially designed to easily cook poached eggs.
Is that really necessary? Many housewives believe that this device is completely unnecessary in the kitchen, because boiling eggs in a saucepan using a timer to obtain the desired result is not so difficult.
Yogurt maker
What is he doing? Allows you to prepare homemade yogurt, fermented baked milk, kefir and even cottage cheese from milk and sourdough.
Is that really necessary? If dairy products are an important part your diet, and you want to control the raw ingredients, a yogurt maker will take root in your kitchen.
Freezer
What is he doing? Allows you to prepare smooth ice cream at home without ice crystals.
Is that really necessary? If you love this delicacy and want to experiment with flavors, this device will be a pleasant addition to your kitchen appliances. But, of course, it is not at all mandatory.

There are a lot of kitchen appliances being produced these days. A modern kitchen is simply a container for various appliances that make it easier to prepare food, store it, make the kitchen air cleaner, “responsible” for the cleanliness of dishes, etc. However, there is a special category among kitchen appliances - devices for preparing not only tasty, but also healthy food. Our story will be about them.
In this review, “Culinary Eden” will present to your attention models from well-known and well-established manufacturers of household appliances. Their devices often cost several more expensive than technology others, less famous manufacturers. However, the likelihood of encountering low-quality goods when purchasing models famous brands still less than when purchasing cheaper equipment. However, we will not say that all “unknown” brands are bad. The choice is always yours.
Steamers
Let's start with steamers familiar to many. Some people actively use a steamer, some have it gathering dust in the closet, and some are just planning to purchase it (read what you need to know in the “Kitchen Appliances” section). But everyone understands that steamed food is healthy and tasty (although the latter, of course, is a subjective factor). To make steaming easier, man came up with a special device - a double boiler. Nowadays you can see a lot of steamers in stores. Speech in in this case will talk about “regular”, free-standing steamers, although some manufacturers also offer built-in models.
Braun FS 20 is the only steam cooker that the famous German manufacturer represents in Russia. Braun’s “colleagues” in the “household appliances workshop” have a wider range of such devices. But this does not mean that the Braun FS 20 is not worth attention.
Power heating element steamers Braun FS 20 – 850 W. The design includes a specially developed Braun steam generator. Thanks to this, the food begins to heat up within a couple of seconds after turning on the device.
The Braun FS 20 comes with two plastic (opaque) food containers. That is, a steamer 
allows you to cook two dishes at the same time. The capacity of each container is 3.1 liters. There are two water trays to collect condensation and prevent different flavors from mixing. In addition, the manufacturer put an additional black container in the box with Braun FS 20 - for “stainable” products (carrots, beets, etc.), which can stain the white plastic. There is also a container for cooking rice.
The control of the Braun FS 20 steamer is simple and intuitive - electromechanical. There is a timer on the front panel, by setting it for a certain time, you don’t have to worry about the dish being “overcooked.” In addition to this, on the control panel there are also icons of various products indicating their cooking time. True, many users claim that food needs to be cooked more than what is written - you will have to adapt. This is a simple and understandable device from Braun. Only the most necessary functions. In Braun FS 20 stores you can find it for 2.5 thousand rubles.
Jacket potatoes with cottage cheese, carrots and dill (recipe for steamer FS 20 from a special Braun cookbook)
Ingredients (for 4 servings):
800 g new potatoes medium size;
600 g of mokrov;
½ medium bunch of dill;
500 g cottage cheese;
salt pepper.
Preparation:
Wash the potatoes without peeling them and place them in the lower steamer. Chop half of the dill there. Wash, peel and cut the carrots into strips and place them in a black tab (container for coloring products). Crumble the remaining dill there. Place the black tab in the upper steam container. Steam for 40 minutes. Beat the cottage cheese with a mixer until creamy, mix with spices. When ready, peel the potatoes and serve with cottage cheese and carrots.
Philips HD9140 costs more, but not much - about 3 thousand rubles. This steamer is a “three-story” one, it has three transparent plastic container(3.5/2.6/2.5 l) for heating, and they are designed to be collapsible, so that you can steam, for example, a whole and fairly large chicken. The package also includes a rice bowl (1.2 liters) and an egg rack.
Power Philips HD9140 – 900 W. It has a special external device for adding water during operation - convenient. There is also an indication of the water level in the tank. The control system is electronic, there is a display. There are even auto-cooking programs. You just need to press the button with the image of the corresponding product - the preset cooking time will appear on the display (changes can be made). After this, you can start the cooking process. After the cooking time has expired, the device will sound a beep and... automatically switch to Keep-warm mode. The steamer can keep the dish warm for up to 20 minutes, then, if the heating mode is not extended by the user, it will automatically turn off.
The highlight of the Philips HD9140 is the Flavor Booster device. It allows you to fill your prepared dishes with the aroma of your favorite herbs and spices. Simply place the seasonings in the container intended for them and when cooking is complete, you will get a fragrant result. We also note the light indication of the need to descale the steamer, provided by the design of the Philips HD9140.
Multicookers
An electric multicooker is a device that combines the ability to cook, stew, bake and steam. Externally, a multicooker looks like a bread machine or a saucepan, if you like. However, let's take a closer look at the multicooker using the example of a specific model.
The SUPRA brand has long been known in our country for its wide range of video and audio equipment. But the company also represents a large range of household appliances in Russia, including kitchen appliances. Among this equipment there is also a multicooker – SUPRA MCS-4511.
SUPRA MCS-4511 costs about 3 thousand rubles (in online stores, in “regular” stores it may be a little more expensive). Multicooker power – 650 W. The design of the model includes a five-liter removable inner bowl with non-stick coating. The SUPRA MCS-4511 multicooker has an electronic control system and a liquid crystal display. There are 8 automatic cooking programs for various dishes. Among them are three modes for rice: “normal” (for cooking various things, including large quantity rice, lasting up to 50 minutes), “quick” (for medium or small amounts of rice, 30-40 minutes), “brown” (for cooking brown rice, including with vegetables). There are also modes for baking a pie, cooking soup, porridge, for steaming dishes, as well as a heating (warming) mode. There is also a “Keep warm” function (up to 24 hours).
Note that the “Normal”, “Quick”, “Soup”, “Porridge” modes in the SUPRA MCS-4511 multicooker can be used not only for rice, but also for other products, including stewing them.
Fish with vegetables (recipe for a slow cooker)
Ingredients:
1 kg of river fish;
2 large onions;
1 medium carrot;
1 medium beet;
1.5 tsp. salt;
1 tsp Sahara;
0.5 measuring cup (usually included in the package)
multicookers) sunflower oil;
black ground;
2-3 bay leaves;
any seasoning for fish.
Preparation
Clean the fish, gut it and cut into small pieces. Cut onions, carrots, beets into rings. Place half of the grated vegetables on the bottom of the multicooker bowl, fish, seasoning, and pepper on top. Next, lay out the remaining vegetables. Place salt and sugar in a measuring cup, add a little water, and pour the solution into the multicooker bowl. Pour on top sunflower oil. Then turn it on desired mode cooking (in SUPRA MCS-4511 can be used “Regular”, “Soup”, “Porridge”, there are multicookers with the “Stew” mode). After two hours the fish is ready.
In addition to SUPRA, several other manufacturers of household appliances also produce multicookers. For example, Panasonic has a couple of models. They are similar in functionality to SUPRA MCS-4511, but are less spacious and more expensive. In this case, it is not entirely clear - why pay more? Unless you are a fan of Panasonic technology. But that's a completely different story.
Slow Cooker
There are also such devices - slow cookers. What are they needed for? As the name suggests - to cook food slowly (unlike pressure cookers). Why slow cook? Firstly, a dish cooked slowly at a low temperature retains much more nutrients and vitamins. Secondly, the products obtained using this cooking method are very tender. This is especially true for meat. In a slow cooker, you can, for example, cook deliciously the meat that you need to cook. in the usual way unusable (will be tough). Thirdly, you can cook in a slow cooker without oil - important for those who strive for a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle in general.
But that's not all the benefits of a slow cooker. Oddly enough, it can also save the hostess time. So, for example, you can cook porridge in a slow cooker in the evening, and in the morning, without wasting time on cooking, have breakfast. Before leaving for work, you can spend a few minutes and put the ingredients you need to prepare a dish into the slow cooker - dinner will be ready by evening. Moreover, if it is ready by 5 pm, and you have dinner at 7, the slow cooker will keep the dish hot (at modern models There is a function to keep warm).
In stores you can find slow cookers from various manufacturers. For example, Kenwood CP707. This model costs about 3 thousand rubles. Its power is 350 W. The capacity of the ceramic pan for food is 4.5 liters. The lid of the pan is made of transparent, impact-resistant glass. The pan in any slow cooker is usually removable. It (including Kenwood CP707) can be washed in dishwasher. The maximum cooking time in this model is 10 hours. The body of the slow cooker is made of of stainless steel. The handles don't get hot. The Kenwood CP707 slow cooker control system is electronic and has a display.
Slow cooker Morphy Richards 48730 (English brand, production – Southeast Asia) costs a little less - about 
2.5 thousand rubles. Power – 350 W. It also has a metal body. The volume of the ceramic pan (removable, dishwasher safe) is 6.5 liters. The lid, like the previous model, is transparent, made of high-strength glass. The controls are electronic and have a backlit display. There are several cooking modes (low-intensity, medium, high-intensity), food can be cooked (essentially stewed) at temperatures from 76°C to 140°C. The maximum cooking time is 12 hours. There is a “Keep Warm” function. The slow cooker (the manufacturer calls it a “self-cooker” on the official website) Morphy Richards 48730 has non-heating handles. For complete set The only thing missing is the rubberized feet. However, why is it not enough? They are.
Roast goose with potatoes and quince (slow cooker recipe)
Ingredients:
1.5 kg of potatoes;
1 quince;
goose meat on the bone;
100 g raisins;
2 tbsp. spoons of tomato paste;
250 ml water;
salt, pepper, spices to taste
Preparation:
Cut the quince, potatoes and goose into medium-sized pieces. Place everything in a slow cooker, add raisins, water with diluted tomato paste, salt, pepper, spices. Mix everything. In the high-intensity mode, the cooking process will take about 4 hours. When using the “Heating” mode (if available) or in the lowest power mode – about 10 hours. You can turn on the slow cooker in the morning and go to work. By evening, a warm dinner will be waiting for you.
In addition to the designated kitchen appliances, there are other appliances that promote healthy eating. This is, for example, a rice cooker. But purchasing it makes sense only if you are a true fan of rice (like, for example, Chinese cuisine). Otherwise, a steamer or multicooker can handle cooking rice. One cannot help but remember the yogurt maker, because yogurt is a very healthy product. And made at home, without preservatives, only from natural ingredients - it can be said to be doubly healthier. Well-known manufacturers of yogurt makers include Tefal and Moulinex (both are part of the international SEB group, which includes other manufacturers of kitchen appliances). Not long ago Culinary Eden talked about decent juicers – another device from the “healthy” cohort – in a separate article. In general, a healthy lifestyle and healthy eating as its integral element are not such a difficult matter. Especially if you stock up on the appropriate equipment. Be healthy!
