5 in 1 cooker - disaster!

[maddy]

Is that NewWave pc made by the same people who made the disastrous Bellini?

No Judy, New wave make the thermochef and the pizza makers.

Wonder....I too find the browning hot.  I noticed this when I placed the onions in...browned very quickly.
If browning meat, I don't leave it in too long.
Other than that, haven't any problems yet.

Thanks maddy, don't know what made me think they did the pc too

Thanks maddy, don't know what made me think they did the pc too  

There's that many appliances out there...it is confusing Judy.
I've read recently the maxi chef is having the same issues as the belini....wow...what a surprise that was  
The new "revised" belini is on the shelves now....will watch with interest.

Well disaster struck this morning, went to the market to picket up ingredients for the weeks meals, defrosted the meat and as soon as I turned the cooker on to start the chicken stock it started heating up before I even turned it on, the controls aren't working and it just keeps getting hotter. I've turned it off and tried restarting but still no luck, non of the buttons are working. I've now rushed out and bought a silit stove top one. I'll ring Newave tomorrow and assume they will replace it but I needed one to get our weeks meals cooked today before starting back at work.  I'm hoping the silit are a good brand and I'll be able to keep it forever.

I saw a Bellini brand 5 in 1 cooker at target yesterday Judy - maybe that's why?

[judydawn]

Thanks deedub, I thought there was a connection somewhere with Bellini and a PC.

wonder let us know how u get along with the silit one. will u ask for a refund ?

I sed the silit a lot yesterday and it seemed great. I really like the ability to control the heat when browning and the bigger heavier pot makes it easy to stir large quantities, but I do love the convience of the automatic pressure and timer of the electric one. I think I will probably just ask for a replacement and keep both as I'm loving PC cooking even more than my TMX at the moment.  I was worried buying the silit as there are no reviews that I could find online but I was limited for choice on such short notice, they are German made so figure they must be ok.

Oh dear....it's starting to seem like the N.W. is the "bellini" of pressure cookers  
I can't fault their pizza maker at all, it's wonderful.....maybe the pc has too many elements than it can cope with!

[Wonder]

I've spoken with Newwave this morning and I need to send it back via a reply paid number so just the cost of packaging for me. The women said it's most likely that it will need to be replaced.

[maddy]

That's great you wont be charged return post....I hate it when companies charge you!....so that's good service.
Wait and see what happens with the next one...fingers crossed.

[courton]

Wonder, I had to do the same thing...ii wonder what the rate of returns are...

Seems to e a few problems with this machine.

Glad I bought the stand alone pc.

Hoping to use it tonight, have chicken out the freezer, not well so hope to throw some things in quickly.

Can you put cream in?

Just stir it in once finished cooking.
