5 in 1 multicooker

[Wonder]

I have no idea what the flat disk with holes in it s but the other one is a stand for when you want to cook things up of the bottom like a roast or creme caramel.

[obbie]

My 5 in one came with the stand, and a steamer basket....

[Brumington]

Would one of those handles be to lift the frier basket out of the oil with?

Thanks JD, found out what the disk is its a steaming plate, so you could cook rice in the bottom put the plate in and steam something while its cooking.

I cooked corn beef yesterday , using the slow cooker mode it came to heat much quicker than my old slow cooker, then pressure cooked my veg, done in ten minutes. White sauce in thermi.

Question....
I bought the Nuwave 6-in-1 about a month ago. When it arrived, I took it out of the box and put it on the bench. Since then, I've had heaps of things going on and haven't had the chance to 'learn' a new appliance. Now that I have the time I've taken all the bits and bobs out of the cooker and had a better look. At the top on the outside, there is a dial type thing which is related to how the pressure is released...

This dial type thing is not in securely...is it supposed to be a bit loose feeling???

Any ideas would be appreciated!

I could have written this word for word. I used mine for the first time in the week and discovered what the dial was for!  So, it's meant to be wobbly when not under pressure. So, when you pressure cook make sure the dial is closed and the pressure will quickly buildup and make it fit tight. When you've finished pressure cooking you release the pressure by turning the dial. Steam will come out very quickly so I recommend doing it with a tea towel. Thisis what I presume is referred to as the quick release method.

[Jamberie]

Ah! Thank you so much!  But that leads me to another question...how do I tighten the dial?

[obbie]

the dial is meant to be wobbly, so the steam can come out.

you don't tighten it.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just wanted to check before I start

[Brumington]

Like obbie says its meant to be wobbly to let steam out but you must have it in the closed middle position to pressure cook cause you obviously don't want the steam to escape or else it'll never build up any pressure!

I use my PC and TM all the time, they each have there special place in my kitchen, and I also have 2 slow cookers, (which I would never get rid of), but store away for times when we entertain, and have hot food, esp in winter. I find the old slow cooker (monier crock pots) are great at this time for keeping meals warm, or I even use one of them to  keep bread rolls warm in, (put some paper towel in to absorb the moisture). There are just some things you need to keep.

I agree PP. I have 2 slow cookers and use them for entertaining. They really come into their own when we have dinner parties or as a combined family we are rather large, so really good when we are all together. 

[obbie]

I have the slow cooker, and the 5 in 1, and the HMP, and the thermomix, and the kitchenaid, and I found a breville grill never used.

and more.....   never throw out the slow cookers.

[astarra]

I love my slow coker too.
