5 in 1 multicooker

[mummywesty]

Thanks wonder, I redeemed myself last night with a brilliant risotto, first time ever I have cooked one with success.  I am thinking maybe next time I will coat meat with flour for casserole type meals as my other recipes do, will put it down to a bad recipe rather than a bad cook ha ha

They're $99.95 at home Depot now ! Not happy Jan !

[Wonder]

I think we will see them cheaper in most places now they have released a 6 in 1.

I actually bought one before I saw the post about home depot....luckily that is where I got it from!  I'm having to replace my Cuisinart pressure cooker which is going to go through the window if I use it one more time.  It refuses to stay on pressure unless it is a VERY VERY watery soup or something like a chicken with water sitting underneath.  It is taking a trip to St Vinnies this weekend....hopefully someone will get some use out of it and I will have reduced stress levels.  Nothing quite like trying to cook dinner late and a piece of kitchen equipment not cooperating to give you high blood pressure (when you have people whinging that they are hungry....argh!)

Wonder, what functions are on a 6 in 1?

[stacelee]

I managed to find this link http://www.ledomaine.com.au/newwave-newwave-6-in-1-multicooker-silver-6l . don't know if it helps at all.  It's not on newwave's website yet.

I just looked it up- apparently its a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, soup pot, deep fryer and electric frypan.

[astarra]

I'm still deciding on this, is there a site anyone could point me in the direction of that has recipes for meals cooked in these machines or something where i can see what it can do??? Please? I always am a 'need to know what it can do before I part with money for something' sort of shopper! 

[DizzyGirl]

astarra, I am the same as you. I am resourcing the thermal cooker and just wondering if it is worth it as I have a slow cooker.

[obbie]

 I just Google pressure cooking recipes, for the nu wave 5 in 1.
thermalcookware.com for heaps of recipes too.

Have any of you tried making sweets or a cake in the pressure cooker?
I love to make a fruit cake in the slow cooker and wonder if the result is the same in the PC?

still waiting for mine to arrive 
The womens weekly pressure cooker book arrived today....and I'm busting to make the hoisin pork with salted crackling, caramelised pepper pork, and Julies ribs!

Desserts would be interesting mcmich.

[JulieO]

The caramelised pepper pork is on my list for next week Maddy, lots of lovely recipes in that book, and once you are familiar with the process, it's really easy to convert your own recipes that would have taken hours in the oven.  Would not like to be without it now.

I'm loving the pressure cooker function and am absolutely loving it. We've mostly just made recipes that we are familiar with and converting for the pressure cooker, but have made a few from the Suzanne Gibbs book (still waiting for the WW one). I've made a great Cree caramel from the Suzanne Gibbs book and it hasn't lasted the overnight setting time. The custard has cooked fantastically in 35 mins. I'm hoping to make another one this weekend and hide it in the back of the fridge before anyone notices it and I'll then be able to see how it turns out once set.

Sounds good wonder.  I ordered that book from recommendation...but I ordered it through bookfari, which seems to take a lot longer to arrive than book depository or fishpond.
