Surely almost every self-respecting housewife already has in her kitchen a device such as a multicooker, which greatly facilitates the process of preparing dishes. Thanks to modern technologies and their achievements, the presented devices are equipped with many different functions. And one of them will be discussed in this article.
What is the temperature in the multicooker in baking mode? The mode guarantees the device a temperature from 116 degrees to 125. Of course, the scale will vary depending on the model of the unit. The minimum possible indicator for the device can be one hundred degrees. In this case, the food will cook in approximately 50 – 60 minutes.
Using this mode, you can prepare a lot of variations of products, from pizza, cakes to pies, biscuits, muffins and charlottes.
As for individual brands of sellers and manufacturers, these are:
Unfortunately, regulation of this aspect of the device in question is not provided by the manufacturers. Only if you press the “cancel” button to complete the unit operation process. This is explained by the fact that the program is set by the mode itself, which cannot be changed in any way during the cooking process.
Therefore, the following situation arises: the owner of the multicooker is not able to indicate the desired level of heat flow. Naturally, you can change the time yourself. The default setting is usually one hour for cooking. However, with an interval of 5 minutes, you can change the time period from 30 minutes to four hours, which compensates for the inconvenience of adjusting the temperature.
This function is necessary for making many types of baked goods or casseroles. Can also be baked meat products and even potatoes. In addition, there is an opportunity to “tinker” with the product from yeast dough, but it takes much more effort.
If you are planning to bake bread, it is worth remembering that you need to hold it on both one side and the other so that the product bakes evenly. Moreover, it is permissible to prepare frying for borscht and make juicy chops. And also fry the ingredients together, as a result of which they will be suitable for further stewing.
The next morning it is very convenient to prepare an omelet for breakfast, which will be done in a matter of minutes. You can also bake vegetables, so they will not lose the optimal amount of vitamins and are great for lunch or dinner.
The usual indicator in a multicooker is quite consistent with the standard indicator of the stove, equal to 180 degrees. However, it happens that the housewife is used to working with the oven. In this case, for complete readiness in such an apparatus, the time should be set several times longer than it would be in the oven, since the temperature is not so high.
If you use a multicooker for a non-standard purpose, then you have the opportunity to experiment: replace the “baking” mode with the built-in “frying” program, and you will end up with a wonderful dish.
ATTENTION! Since the above mode has the possibility of a sharp change in temperature parameters, cooking can be carried out either too quickly or too slowly.
In any case, when purchasing a device, instructions and a book are included, where you will find many recipes for various dishes that can be prepared in the purchased model.
You need to know what temperature to choose for cooking. Redmond provides a temperature table for the multicooker in the instructions for its multicookers. You can use it as a guide when you use a multicooker in other multicookers. See the table at the bottom of the article.
General recommendations are as follows
Redmond also suggests making vinegar at 35 degrees. This is the right temperature for making vinegar, but it's not very clear how you can actually use a slow cooker to make vinegar, since it takes several days to prepare. It is difficult to imagine a housewife who would use a multicooker for vinegar for several days, however, such a theoretical possibility of preparing vinegar in a multicooker exists.
At temperatures above 50 degrees it is convenient to cook all sorts of confectionery- melt chocolate, make fudge
Temperatures of 70 - 80 degrees are good for preparing wine drinks - such as punch, mulled wine
Redmond also suggests brewing tea at these temperatures. Of course, under normal conditions, when you have an electric kettle, it makes more sense to use it to heat water. However, a multicooker for making tea can be used in semi-camping conditions - for example, in the country.
These same temperatures are suitable for pasteurization. We remind you that pasteurization is a method of destroying harmful microbes by heating liquids (wine, beer, milk, marinades, sour compotes for canning) to temperatures below 100 degrees, which allows you to preserve beneficial substances.
At temperatures of 85-95 degrees, products are prepared according to the principle of slow simmering, that is, the temperature is high, but below the boiling point of water. Temperatures of almost 100 degrees are good for milk porridges. But, as a rule, in modern multicookers, porridge is prepared using special milk porridge programs, and not using a multicooker. See the list of programs for multicookers
Jam is prepared at 100 degrees - that is, at a constant boil, and for baking, a temperature of 100-110 degrees is good for making meringue.
Temperatures above 100 degrees are baking and frying temperatures. That is, the preparation of solid foods. If you want to cook soups, stew vegetables or meat at temperatures above 100 degrees, then your multicooker should be a multicooker pressure cooker. That is, working under pressure. It is pressure that can ensure liquid boils at temperatures above 100 degrees, and thus speed up cooking. And this cooking takes place with the lid locked.
If you do not have a pressure cooker function in your multicooker, then use temperatures above 100 degrees only for baking and frying.
At a temperature of 130 degrees - it’s good to fry foods - for example, frying soup
Steaks and poultry are fried at a temperature of about 160 degrees. The pies are baked at the same temperature.
A temperature of 170-180 degrees is used for deep frying, when it is necessary for vegetable oil to boil.

Multicookers are versatile devices that have many different functions. They know how to boil, fry and stew food, as well as steam. Each process has a specific program, and each of these programs has a specific temperature. More on this below...
Baking mode. When this mode is activated, the system sets the temperature in the range of 118-122 degrees (this value may differ slightly in different models). In this case, the user will not be able to set his own temperature parameter. In this mode, it is set by the program, and it can no longer be changed during the cooking process. This mode with this temperature is perfect for cooking pies, pizza and various sponge cakes. Do you want to do delicious charlotte with apples? Choose the baking mode – that’s what it’s designed for.
Steam cooking is the second program. Don't confuse it with a steamer. There are many differences between a multicooker and a double boiler, and it makes no sense to compare these devices. The steam mode operates at a temperature of 115-120 degrees. Depending on the type of dish, the cooking process lasts from 10 to 60 minutes. This mode is suitable for preparing dietary food, steamed cutlets, for example.
Frying. In this mode, the heating temperature is 100-160 degrees. Unlike other modes, this one works when the lid is open. This program is powerful, so you need to handle it carefully. It is better to start frying with low temperatures and add more as it cooks. Otherwise, the dish may simply burn.
Pasta – The program operates at a temperature of 116-120 degrees and can last 8-20 minutes. Suitable for making sauces and gravies.
Special mode for cereals – 110 degrees. It does not allow you to adjust any parameters, but the program itself is correct. With its help you can make the perfect crumbly porridge.
Milk porridge - program with heating up to 95 degrees. Usually the mode works for 30 minutes, but for some porridges this is not enough. You can simply reactivate the mode or add minutes if the functionality supports it.
Braising – 95 degrees. This function assumes operation from 2 to 8 hours. Judging by the reviews, this program is not the best, because... works for a long time. Its excellent analogue is “multi-cook” - this is a similar mode that copes with the carcass much faster.
Soup – a program for cooking soup, which assumes a temperature of 95 degrees. It works for 8 hours. You should already be convinced that a multicooker is not for quick cooking.
Yogurt – works at a low temperature of 38-40 degrees. In fact, the device only maintains this parameter and activates or deactivates heating every 20-30 minutes. Preparation of yogurt is described in the recipe book included with the multicooker.
“Multi-cook” mode at a temperature of 40-160 degrees with the ability to adjust. This is a universal program that allows you to cook anything: baked goods, soups, stews etc.
Dessert– for making caramel, sweets and other sweets. Temperature can be adjusted according to recipe.
The Pilaf mode is intended for cooking rice and any variants of pilaf: with meat, with vegetables, with seafood, with dried fruits. The principle of its operation is the same as that of the Grechka mode. However, there is one caveat: in the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, the intensive frying function is activated.
First, the program boils, evaporates the moisture, and then lightly fries the bottom layer (zirvak), for example, meat and onions. Using this mode, you can prepare not only pilaf from rice and its substitutes (wheat, noodles, buckwheat), but also baked potatoes, and navy pasta, and fried dumplings. In a word, a wide variety of dishes, the preparation of which combines boiling and baking (frying). Pilaf cooked in a slow cooker is especially tasty. It even provides a special mode - Pilaf.
Manual modes in multicookers appeared as a response to ever-increasing user requests to move away from standard modes and recipes. The Redmond brand became a pioneer in satisfying the wishes of “multi-devices”, and then manual modes appeared in models from other manufacturers.
Setting the parameters manually makes it possible to arbitrarily set the cooking time and temperature. This mode is called differently by different manufacturers: Manual, Your choice, Your own recipe, Multicook. They all have different temperature ranges and time steps.
First of all, differences in manual modes appear in the temperature range. Its lower limit for such programs is almost the same - 25-40°C. This temperature may be needed for preparing yoghurts and proofing yeast dough.
But the upper limit varies greatly among different brands. It can be either 100 or 180°C. The latter temperature allows deep frying and high-quality baking of dough products. It should be remembered that the ideal temperature for cooking varies from 35 to 160°C, so you should not set the temperature above 160°C for a long time, as this may pose a danger to the multicooker body. In addition, different models of multicookers have their own characteristics in this mode. So, there are devices with steps of 5, and others with steps of 20°C.
The smaller the step and the larger the temperature range, the more possibilities.
Changes in cooking time settings for different models of multicookers are also different.
The most commonly used range is from 5 minutes to 16 hours with changing steps: in the range from 5 minutes to 1 hour - 1 minute; in the range from 1 hour to 16 hours - 5 minutes.
It turns out that the manual mode allows you to cook all dishes as on the stove. Are you used to cooking a portion of porridge in 20 minutes on the stove? The same method and recipe can be used in a slow cooker, setting the optimal temperature so that the milk does not “run away” to 70°C, for example. Also, the main modes of the multicooker include six built-in programs: Pilaf, Buckwheat, Baking, Steaming, Stewing and Milk porridge. The most commonly used ones are Baking and Stewing. How do the modes work?
Extinguishing
The Extinguishing mode, by its nature, resembles normal preparation food in the oven at low temperature. It is great for preparing jellied meats, broths and any cereals that need to be “simmered”. In this mode, all dishes turn out whole and incredibly aromatic, which is achieved precisely due to the low temperature. The stewing time of the dish can be set from one to twelve hours. Although the manufacturers clearly overdid it with time: it would be much more convenient if the stewing time started from ten minutes. Expensive models of multicookers have more flexible time settings.
Pilaf, Milk porridge and Buckwheat
These are automatic cooking modes that prepare a dish using special technology. That is, during the cooking process, the multicooker itself changes the operating temperature, following a certain technology. For example, if you decide to cook buckwheat or rice separately on the stove, then you first need to bring the water to a boil, and then reduce the heat, leaving the porridge to simmer. For a multicooker, it is enough to set the Buckwheat or Cereal porridge program and it will bring the porridge to a boil, and then lower the temperature itself. What if the multicooker does not have a Pilaf mode? The Pilaf, Milk porridge and Buckwheat modes can be replaced by the Stew mode, but then the possibility of using the timer to delay the start of cooking is eliminated. Cooking a dish in the Pilaf and Milk porridge modes takes one hour, and in the Buckwheat mode - forty minutes.
“Steam” mode.
As a rule, in this mode they cook low calorie foods steamed (important for those who are watching their diet): vegetables, meat, fish, steamed dumplings, manti, eggs in a steam basket, various side dishes. Also convenient for heating food. “Steaming” is also preferred by those who have small children. Children under 3 years of age are not recommended to eat fried foods. There is no alternative to this mode; it can only be partially replaced by the “Cooking” mode.
"Multi-cook" mode.
This is a rather rare mode, but it contains very wide cooking possibilities. Using Multicook you can make dishes that need to be cooked at high temperatures and for a very long time. It works at temperatures from 40 to 160 degrees, and the operating time of the mode is from 5 to 12 hours. Includes 18 different modes.
Paste mode.
Using this multicooker mode, you can cook dough dishes: pasta, spaghetti, macaroni, dumplings, dumplings. “Pasta” can be replaced with the “Cooking”, “Buckwheat”, “Porridge” or “Rice” modes.
