What is better to buy: a bread machine or a slow cooker

What is the difference between the multicooker and the

bread machine? Both of these devices are universal, however, the technical parameters of each are more provided for a specific purpose. Bread maker is primarily designed for cooking bread and other pastries, although it can also be used to successfully make, for example, soup. The slow cooker is a universal device, although its main functions are frying and cooking food, cooking milk porridges and yogurts. Some models have a mode of baking bread, but not everyone will get the same delicious bread as in the bread maker. This factor is most importantly affected by the fact that most multicookers heat products only from the bottom and sides, but in more expensive models there is a 3D heating function that can compensate for this disadvantage. And also, a very small number of models has the ability to knead the dough, which is inconvenient if the primary purpose of buying a device is cooking baking. As for the bread machine, any model has a dough kneader in its device.

Before choosing between these devices, you need to decide which goal is higher priority. If the future user does not intend to pamper himself with freshly baked bread every day, then it will not be difficult to interfere with the ingredients for the dough and it is worth considering a slow cooker for your kitchen. If the buyer is interested in frequent bread baking, and prefers to cook food traditionally on the stove, then the breadmaker will be the best solution.

Possibilities of the

bread machine. Different models of bread machines may have various functions, depending on the price and manufacturer, but each has standard:

• preparation of different types of dough;
• baking bread and other pastries;
• cooking jam;
• most models are equipped with yogurt maker.

The principle of operation of a bread machine is like an oven, which means that the dough does not interact directly with the heating elements. This gives baking to cook evenly, and the bread is obtained with a delicious crust on top. And also, the bread machine has a mechanical dough mixer, that is, you just need to put all the necessary ingredients in the right proportions in the device's bowl, and the device will make the dough kneading and further baking itself. Some models of bread makers are additionally equipped with a delayed start function.

. Multicooker capabilities.

. In the multicooker, you can cook anything, manufacturers constantly come up with different cooking modes for new models. The most popular dishes in multivarok:

• soups;
• milk cereals;
• yogurts;
• fried foods;
• stewed products;
• steamed food;
• baking.

Multivarki also have the function of a delayed start, like bread makers. Multicookers also have a useful heating mode, which can be turned on immediately after cooking, so that it stays warm longer.

As for baking bread, the main drawback of the multicooker is that you need to knead the dough by hand. Due to the uneven heating in most of the multi-cooker models, the bread is not fully baked and will be more roasted from the bottom, because unlike a bread machine, in a slow cooker, the products directly interact with the heating element.
