Teflon or ceramic coating of a multicooker - which is better?

How to use the interchangeability list?

It's quite simple:

1. Take a bowl and measure the diameter (D) and height (H) of the bowl. Be sure to do this, because the characteristics of the bowls may already be out of date!
2. Find your bowl according to the specified parameters, or according to the multicooker model
3. Click on the multicooker model that fits your bowl if it is highlighted with a link
4. If it is not on this list, then select any other appropriate multicooker from the list below.
5. Please remember that these are only approximate parameters. When purchasing, be prepared for the fact that the bowl may not fit from another multicooker (due to the design features of the multicooker of a particular manufacturer)

Finding a multicooker bowl

There is no desire to wait for a bowl from an official dealer by mail or courier, the question arises where to get the goods. First, visit Yandex Market and type “multi-cooker bowl” in the query bar. The item is not in the options menu, but there will be a lot of offers, sort by dealer. Once you find what you need, contact the dealer and clarify the conditions.

Not all stores are represented on Yandex Market; from the offers you will learn useful information for correctly forming a request. A living example: on the bowl of the Redmond multicooker they forgot to write which model is suitable, it is not in the product passport. By searching for “RB-C400,” readers will find what they need faster than by entering “multi-cooker bowl RMC-M4524,” although both phrases formally refer to the same item.

Features of multicookers

You see, even at first glance, a proposal that is inappropriate for geographical reasons will provide information for further search. This also applies to materials. Try to find a bowl with a marble finish in the store. By entering “Landlife replacement bowl”, you can quickly find what you are looking for. Of course, the first question is logical to ask the dealer, the official manufacturer. No one is forcing you to take the multicooker bowl there; acquiring useful information will help.

On the official website you can buy accessories for the Redmond multicooker and see what nature has produced. Not everyone has heard of a lid for a bowl, but it’s an extremely convenient thing, I’ll tell you, comrades. When preparing two or more dishes, you need to protect the food so that it does not get windy and cockroaches do not get it.

What is convenient on Yandex Market. If you set out to buy a bowl for the Polaris multicooker, you now have the opportunity to check the appropriate box. Leave brand models on the screen. It is not possible to set the bowl covering material or volume. The state of affairs is not encouraging. We firmly decided to buy a ceramic bowl for the multicooker, not to mess with Teflon - we’ll have to get lost through the pages, they don’t always load right away.

And if the wish is contained in an unimaginable jumble of words like “bowl for buying a Scarlet multicooker,” we risk not finding the object on Yandex Market. Use the model correspondence table, the address is indicated above. It will be difficult to buy a saucepan for a multicooker... Some people call it a bowl. It's hard to find an item if you spell the name wrong.

How to choose the right bowl for a multicooker

Each bowl has characteristics that make it an ideal utensil for preparing certain dishes. When choosing a device, you should consider:

• bowl size;
• outer covering;
• is there a measuring scale inside?
• manufacturer;
• presence of handles.

Bowl with handles Redmond

The first difference between all containers that is worth paying attention to is their volume. On sale you can find a device or individual containers with a capacity of 2-7 liters. The most common volume used by manufacturers in their devices corresponds to average figures of 3.5 - 5 liters. This multicooker is suitable for a family of several people or those who want to cook food for several days in advance.

For those who need small amounts of food, small bowls with a capacity of 2 to 3 liters are suitable for one or maximum two meals. Miniature models are compact and have low energy consumption, so for a small family or people with a small child, they will be the best option.

The handles are a nice feature, making it easy to carry and fill the bowl. But not all appliance models support this shape, so when purchasing a separate container you need to take this feature into account.

A measuring scale is usually present in most of the models presented. If you have to choose a container with or without measuring division, it is better to go with the first option. The scale will help you avoid making mistakes with the volume of ingredients and will greatly simplify the cooking process.

It is also worth paying attention to the brand of the bowl you are purchasing. Some manufacturers, such as Redmond, Polaris, Panasonic or Philips, have been specializing in the production of multicookers for many years and try to use the best materials and new technologies in their products. A container purchased from an experienced brand can guarantee a longer service life and its comfort.

The last, most important criterion relates to the type of coating of the bowl. Each multicooker comes with a standard container with a top layer, which is determined by the manufacturer. Depending on it, the bowl will be better suited for baking, frying or some other food processing. There are separate containers on sale that are suitable for various models of multicookers.

Each multicooker model has different functionality; different types of containers are used to perform them.

They differ in the following parameters:

• Volume;
• Diameter and height;
• Availability of dimensional divisions;
• Internal coating material;
• Handles and clamps.

The most important difference between different brands is capacity. Usually a bowl with a volume of up to 5 liters is used. But there are options with a capacity from 2 to 7 liters. The size of the prepared dishes and the amount of power consumed depend on this parameter. For a small family or one person, smaller volume models will be convenient, but for preparing larger quantities of food, it is more convenient to use a multicooker with a larger capacity.

The presence of a scale with marks is very convenient because you can immediately calculate the amount of ingredients for cereals and soups. The brand of the bowl also matters. The better the brand, the better the quality of the materials from which the multicooker parts are made. A reliable manufacturer guarantees a long service life and ease of use.

The material of the inner layer depends on the purpose of the multicooker and the functions it performs. The manufacturer calculates in advance what the device will be used for - cooking, stewing, frying, baking, or all at once. The material of the container in which the dishes are prepared also depends on this.

Sometimes the multicooker may come with replacement bowls for different operating modes. Manufacturers have also made universal bowls that can fit different models of multicookers. Agree that this is very convenient; if necessary, you can replace the old or damaged bowl of the device with a new universal one.

Multicooker bowls are made of aluminum and are distinguished by an additional internal coating.

Depending on the type of material, there are the following bowls:

1. No additional processing. These containers are made of aluminum or stainless steel. Very scratch-resistant, durable and resistant to spoons and metal spatulas. But food in such containers can burn.
2. With non-stick coating. The most common material for the internal coating of multicookers is Teflon. It does not interact with food, food does not burn and the temperature is evenly distributed during cooking. Its main drawback is that it wears out quickly, especially with frequent contact with spoons and forks. Therefore, there are special silicone accessories for them. Another disadvantage of Teflon is the sudden temperature change.
3. Ceramic. Ceramic products can withstand high temperatures and do not emit harmful substances. The downside is its high cost and fragility if not handled with care.

Each type has its advantages: the most stable bowls are metal, and the most versatile and convenient are Teflon. Both are of high quality and convenient, because manufacturers try to take into account all our needs and are constantly improving manufacturing technologies.

The need to replace the old bowl arises when it wears out or when you want to have a spare bowl for easier cooking. You need to choose the right interchangeable containers that are compatible with the device model in height, volume and diameter.

It happens that it is impossible to buy a bowl of the same model, but it is worth trying to find compatible devices from the same brand or find a universal bowl from another manufacturer. In order for the container to fit the multicooker, it must have the same size and properties as in the basic configuration.

You can also measure the parameters of the original bowl and buy exactly the same one from those available for sale. In the device passport you will find information about the dimensions of the internal tank, or measure it yourself with a ruler.

To purchase a new multicooker bowl, you will need the following indicators:

1. Diameter. The size of the upper part is measured with a ruler (or the maximum width if there are protruding parts). The upper size may differ from the diameter of the lower part, because the bottom may be narrowed due to rounding.
2. Height. The measurement is taken from the lowest outer edge to the top opening of the container. In this case, the height of the lid can also be taken into account.
3. Form. Be sure to pay attention to the shape of the outer edge. It can affect the tightness of the container and the quality of cooking.

How to choose a bowl for a multicooker

4 liter bowl

When selecting a bowl, you should first read the instructions for the equipment, which indicate the parameters of the bowl and the device. Based on the specified characteristics, find an offer on the market or contact the supplier of the model you are using.

If you buy accessories for multicookers in a regular store, you must follow the instructions:

1. Measure the height and diameter of the bowl.
2. Pay attention to design features (fastening, bottom, presence of handles).

When searching, you can use the manufacturer’s official website, where the parameters of the accessories for each model are described in detail.

The volume, material, and type of coating are available to the user. It is possible to offer similar elements from other models.

Compatibility table for bowls of different brands

When choosing a compatible bowl, look at its dimensions (height and diameter) so that the new container fits into the multicooker and seals the device hermetically during operation. If the new container is smaller than the old one, it will not receive enough heat from the heating element and this will affect the cooking time. A bowl that is too large will not fit into the appliance or will interfere with the closing of the top lid.

To find the right container, look for a compatible model from the same brand as your multicooker.

If you have selected a suitable bowl, first check that it is compatible with the multicooker. Carefully insert it into the device, make sure that it is sealed and fits tightly to the heating surface. If everything is fine, wash the new container and dry it before use.

The multicooker container itself is cast from aluminum or steel. The second option is typical for pressure cookers that cook using pressure. The outer layer, depending on the manufacturer, will differ for different models. There are 3 options for covering the multicooker bowl:

• without outer layer. This container belongs to the category of eco-ware. The bowl itself is made of stainless steel or aluminum, suitable for the food industry. This type of coating is very resistant to various types of scratches and mechanical stress.

Compatibility table for bowls of different brands

It happens that the surface of the bowl in the purchased appliance model does not meet your needs, it is broken, worn out, or you simply want to have an additional set of dishes. In this case, you need to consider bowl options based on the principle of interchangeability. When considering analogues, it is worth considering the diameter of the container and its height.

Every thing tends to break or become unusable. The slow cooker is no exception to the rule. The bowl of the device is subjected to temperature loads, the oxidation process, friction and other loads that affect its shelf life. Depending on the brand, model and characteristics of the container for loading products, you can select a replacement container for any multicooker; the main thing is to take into account all the initial parameters.

Differences in multicooker bowls

Each bowl has characteristics that make it an ideal utensil for preparing certain dishes. When choosing a device, you should consider:

• bowl size;
• outer covering;
• is there a measuring scale inside?
• manufacturer;
• presence of handles.

The handles are a nice feature, making it easy to carry and fill the bowl. But not all appliance models support this shape, so when purchasing a separate container you need to take this feature into account.

Depending on it, the bowl will be better suited for baking, frying or some other food processing. There are separate containers on sale that are suitable for various models of multicookers.

Important! Before purchasing a device, each buyer needs to decide whether a standard container is suitable for him, which coating for the multicooker bowl is better, and whether he should immediately purchase an additional one.

What are the differences between multicooker bowls?

Each multicooker model has its own functionality, for the implementation of which different types of containers are used.

They may differ in the following parameters:

• volume;
• diameter and height;
• presence of dimensional divisions;
• internal coating material;
• handles and clamps.

The main noticeable difference between different brands is capacity. Usually a volume of up to 5 liters is used. The variety of options includes capacities from 2 to 7 liters. The maximum size of prepared dishes and the amount of power consumed depend on this parameter. Small-volume models are convenient for a small family or one person, but for cooking for a large number of servings it is more convenient to use an appliance with a large capacity.

The presence of a scale with marks is convenient because you can immediately calculate the amount of ingredients - for soup, cereals, etc. The brand of the bowl also matters. The better the brand, the better the quality of the materials from which the multicooker parts are made. The reliability of the manufacturer guarantees a long service life and ease of use.

The material of the inner layer depends on the purpose of the multicooker and the functions performed. The manufacturer calculates in advance what the device will be used for - cooking, frying, stewing, baking, or all at once. The material of the container in which the dishes are prepared also depends on this.

At the same time, there are multicookers that can use several replaceable bowls for different operating modes. Manufacturers have also developed special universal bowls that can be matched to different models. This allows you, if necessary, to replace the old or damaged bowl of the device with a new container.

IMPORTANT! If there is a need for an additional bowl for preparing dishes, it is better to purchase it immediately with the purchase of the device, so as not to look for compatible options later.

Multicooker bowls are made of aluminum and have an additional internal coating.

Based on the type of material, there are the following types of bowls:

It does not interact with food, does not burn and allows you to evenly distribute the temperature during cooking. But the main disadvantage is its rapid wear, especially when in contact with knives and forks. Therefore, they require additional silicone accessories. It is also worth noting that such material is afraid of sudden temperature changes.

1. Ceramic. Ceramic products can withstand very high temperatures and do not emit harmful substances. But such material is very expensive and easily breaks if handled carelessly.

Ceramic coating of the multicooker bowl

This material looks very similar to enamel, it is just as smooth. The ceramic version includes the smallest particles of sand, as well as various additives that increase its quality characteristics. Compared to the previous version, the ceramics have a thicker layer.

During operation, certain factors must be taken into account. Firstly, the material can be damaged by aggressive cleaning agents. Secondly, shocks and other strong impacts should be avoided. In addition, it is recommended to wash products only under the tap. Experienced users also note that the material is afraid of sudden temperature changes. Therefore, after preparing food, do not rush to start washing; let the dishes cool.
