He will do the rest himself. By the way, these products can be not only meat and poultry, but also fish, sausages, vegetables. It does not require a single gram of vegetable oil! Which greatly increases the usefulness of your dish. And the non-stick coating of corrugated plates made of cast aluminium will not allow food to burn. …

The grill itself will determine the thickness of the piece and select the temperature necessary to fry it to the desired level (Rare, Medium or Well Done). With any roasting, the dish will be juicy and tasty. In total, the device has 6 automatic programs, but it is also possible to manually control the temperature from 110 to 555 degrees. And the degree of roasting in the course of cooking will show a light indicator. There is a special tray for draining liquid, which is easy to remove and wash in the dishwasher.

The power of the device is 2000 W. The grill opens 180 degrees and “adjusts” to the height of the product, which is very convenient. There is a nuance in care: since the surface of the plates is corrugated, it is not very convenient to wash it. But the removable tray is easy to clean in the dishwasher.

A premium coffee machine will look equally elegant both in the office and in the kitchen of a coffee lover who cannot imagine a morning without this aromatic drink. Stylish and compact. It is not cheap, but it boasts many functions. On top of the case of the Philips Saeco PicoBaristo HD 8928 coffee machine is equipped with a display (Russian is also available on it), following the prompts on which you can prepare any drink to your liking from espresso and cappuccino with lush foam and macchiato to exquisite ristretto, Flat White and others (only about 9 drinks, there is an instruction with a detailed description of them).

And if you dig into the settings, you can literally adjust everything to the smallest detail to your liking: the desired water level in the cup (the machine will remember your favorite option), the strength and temperature of the finished drink, the intensity of the aroma, the grind size, etc. You can also just ask the machine for boiling water or a cup of warm milk. By the way, the milk tank is already 1.8 liters. The device filters the water (the filter must be changed every three months). Coffee is ground in ceramic millstones (capacity 250 g), so the grains are devoid of a burnt smell and exude a pleasant aroma.

The case is made of metal, which gives the device reliability. In addition, it is able to self-clean after preparing drinks, so it is unpretentious and convenient to clean (the milk jug and cappuccinatore can be trusted with a dishwasher). "Spout" is adjusted to the height of the cups.

This meat grinder, in addition to the ability to grind meat, has a number of other very useful functions in the household. In addition, the eye is attracted by the ergonomics, compactness and elegance of the design of the device.

It is also very convenient to use in terms of practicality: non-slip rubberized feet provide stability, a cord storage compartment and a place inside the device for storing attachments solve the problem of saving space and convenience. The model is powerful (2000 W), made of durable plastic (case) and metal (details). Its productivity is 2.6 kg / min.

In addition to the usual attachment for twisting meat and vegetables (2 discs for minced meat, 3 attachments for cutting and chopping), the set also includes a dicing attachment, which significantly expands the culinary possibilities. Special attention deserves a nozzle for homemade sausages and a nozzle "kebbe" for cooking stuffed cutlets (tubes of meat or chicken) and other gourmet dishes based on them. The "Reverse" function will help prevent winding of the cores on the nozzles. Also, the work with the device is facilitated by a special pallet for products, which is attached from above.

This machine will really become a real kitchen assistant: it will facilitate both the baking process, kneading the dough, and the preparation of everyday dishes, eliminating the need to manually chop vegetables, chop, grate.

As for baking: up to 1 kg of flour and ingredients is ready to be processed at a time — thanks to a capacious 3.9 L bowl and 1000 W power. This is approximately 2.7 kg of light dough and up to 1.9 kg of yeast. Dough nozzles rotate according to the principle of planetary mixing — that is, in three planes at the same time, and not just around its axis, which ensures uniform mixing of ingredients.

The manufacturer took care of how to store such a number of attachments: in order not to look for them all over the kitchen, the set includes a special bag with compartments for whisks and disks. Other nice touches that make it easy to use include the fact that the removable parts can be washed in the dishwasher, and the arm lifts automatically thanks to the EasyArmLift system, so changing attachments is a breeze. The cable automatically rolls up inside the device, and the nozzles automatically stop in the position in which they are most convenient to remove.

The kit includes 2 nozzles for kneading dough (hook for dense and T-shaped for liquid), a whisk for whipping proteins. Also a chopper with three double-sided discs for shredding, rubbing and slicing. A nice addition to this model is a blender with a volume of 1.25 liters, a meat grinder and a citrus press. You will not find such a set in every food processor. In addition, it is possible to purchase and install any other optional Bosch attachments (for example, for making pasta, french fries, juices, ice cream, etc.).

User protection is provided in different situations: if something is set incorrectly, the device will stop its work. Suction cups on legs provide stability. The body material is a completely safe plastic that does not contain BPA (Bisphenol A), and the bowl is metal. There is a motor overload protection function.

The operation of the device also provides a pulsed mode. There are 7 speeds in it, they are switched mechanically by a rotary switch, the descent is very smooth.

It looks streamlined and futuristic and takes up very little space in the kitchen. There are only two buttons on the case: the speed control and pulse mode knob and the bracket button.

Among all the "smart pots" this model stands out for its futuristic design and functionality. As well as a variety of programs: with its help, you will not only cook soups, cereals (including dairy), you can stew, fry, bake and simmer food, as in a real stove, but also get the opportunity to cook diet meals for a couple, deep-fry, pamper yourself and loved ones with confectionery and home-made yogurt, bread, pizza, pilaf and other goodies. Therefore, the appliance is equipped with accessories, including an additional deep-frying and steaming basket. There are 16 automatic programs, and there is also a “multi-cook” that gives room for culinary creativity and allows you to choose the time and temperature yourself (in the range from 35 to 170 degrees).

Thanks to the non-stick ceramic coating of the bowl, nothing sticks to the walls and the dish does not burn, although you still need very little water or oil. By the way, the device saves not only water and oil: users note that it consumes much less electricity than an electric stove. The 3D heating of the bowl allows you to distribute the heat evenly so that the food is cooked well, and the power of 860 W allows you to do it quickly.

The 5 liter bowl is large enough to feed a large family at one time. Most importantly, in order for the process to begin, you only need to download the necessary products, select a programme and wait. And for greater convenience, there is a delayed start programme (you can programme it so that dinner is ready just in time for your arrival from work), automatic shutdown and a temperature maintenance mode (for heating the dish). The only thing that is not very convenient is a rather short power cord (less than a metre).

LCD display (touch control). The inscriptions are all in Russian, so it is easy to navigate the programs. Comes with a large recipe book with colorful photos and detailed descriptions.

Despite the fact that the product is Chinese, it pleases with its functionality and capabilities and will pleasantly surprise you with its cost. With such a device, you will not need an additional bread machine and yogurt maker, double boiler and deep fryer — it has everything.
