So, a multivark is a cross between a steamer, a pressure cooker, an electric frying pan and an oven. With its help you can cook, stew, cook deep-fried or steamed. As for aerogrill, it is more suitable for frying, smoking and baking, besides it is impossible to cook dishes that require the alternate pawning of ingredients.

How to choose a good multivark?
The central point in choosing this or that model is volume. What volume of multivarkers to choose, to solve to you, but consider, that to one person the minimum indicator of 1,6 l is sufficient, two will suffice 2,5 l, and for the big family this parameter should be not less than 4-7 l. But power, on the contrary, is not of decisive importance. On average, this figure for most models of multivarches is 500-800 watts, more powerful devices can boast a range of 800 to 1400 watts. Deviation in one direction or another will affect the intensity of roasting, allowing only a slight decrease in cooking time and save 5-6 minutes.
Different multivarkers and the type of control differ - it can be mechanical, electronic or touch. Choose the one that is more convenient for you.
Pay attention to the number of programs. The simplest thing you can cook in a multivarquet is porridge from buckwheat, rice or any other cereal. Also there are such programs as baking, stewing, languishing, cooking pilaf , milk porridge, reheating, steaming, etc. By the way, the last regime assumes that the multivark container is also equipped with a steamer container.
Undoubtedly, you are unlikely to use absolutely all programs. The choice in favor of this or that model should be carried out depending on what you buy a multivark for and what programs are more important for you than others.
A very practical mode is the so-called delay of the start. It allows you to get this or that dish by a certain time and actually without your participation. This is convenient if you want, say, to have fresh pilaf on the table after coming home from work or a delicious biscuit for breakfast. However, keep in mind: in multivarks with a mechanical type of control, there is no such function.
Non-stick coating of the multiquark bowl can be Teflon or ceramic. Practice shows that Teflon is more reliable and durable, but it does not suffer any scratches. Therefore, for fans who use forks and knives during cooking, it is recommended to choose a ceramic coating option.
