General characteristics of the Panasonic SR TMH18 multicooker

Despite the rather modest size and small number of functions, the multicooker Panasonic SR-TMH18 is distinguished by impressive potential. At the time of its release several years ago, this model was one of the most advanced, but over time, the championship lost to later versions. Nevertheless, many modern housewives prefer it precisely because of the simplicity of use and a small number of the most necessary programs.

The Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker was so popular and in demand that on culinary sites you can find a lot of recipes that are adapted specifically for this model. You will also find useful recommendations and recipes in the book attached in the configuration. The Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker copes with cereals, allowing each grain to swell evenly, maintain a natural shape and beneficial properties. The microprocessor with high accuracy calculates the time of cooking and the temperature regime for each program, as a result of which you enjoy an excellent taste and get the maximum benefit from the meal.

Features of the multicooker Panasonic SR-TMH18:

• small size;
• a capacious bowl with a volume of 4.5 l (working volume 3.5-4 l);
• the ability to install prolonged extinguishing up to 12 hours;
• preparation of children's and diet food;
• the patented design of the steam valve for the release of steam - food does not cross and does not “run away”;
• simple management;
• easy to keep clean.

The Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker is simple and reliable, therefore it is suitable for daily use for a long time. That is why it has gained such popularity in the Russian market, where most of users are housewives who are looking for stably working and simple equipment. The device perfectly copes with any task, without bothering a difficult choice - all control elements are concentrated on the front side of the case and are located vertically. There are few buttons, and they all have inscriptions in Russian. Therefore, even an inexperienced user can easily master the slow cooker without instructions.

The slow cooker has a massive cover, on the inside of which a rubber seal is installed for a tight fit of the lid. The control buttons are covered with a protective layer of soft plastic, so they are easy to keep clean, even if they were accidentally pressed with dirty fingers. A display of quite small sizes, but with well -readable symbols. On the monochrome liquid crystal panel, the cooking time and current settings are displayed.

I would also like to pay attention to the appearance of the multicooker. The case has the shape of a pan, it is covered with white and stylized with durable plastic. The condensate collection container is located on the side. The handles for transportation are not provided, as well as pens in the bowl or special forceps for its extraction. Therefore, it is immediately recommended to purchase silicone tacks.

The Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker equipment includes:

• a spacious bowl with an anti-stick Teflon coating with a working volume of 3.5-4 liters (enough to prepare lunch for a family of 3-4 people). The anti -stick coating is quite thin, so it is better to mix the contents of the bowl with a wooden or silicone spatula, and not the spoon attached;
  
• steamed container for cooking;
• plastic blade;
• measured cup;
• instructions;
• book with recipes;
• removable network cord.

It can be seen that the equipment is minimal, especially when compared with more modern models, where there are silicone cooks and containers for yogurt. But do not forget that the models are already several years old, and the number of programs imposes its restrictions.

Review of Panasonic SR TMH18 multicooker programs

In the memory of the Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker, 6 automatic cooking programs are installed: 3 touch and 3 fully automatic (time and temperature cannot be changed manually). The additional function “Starting Start” is available only for automatic programs “Milk porridge”, “buckwheat” and “pilaf” and set up to 13 hours (interval 30 minutes).

Consider all the programs of the Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker in more detail:

1. Pilaf is an automatic program with a clearly set temperature regime. Creates ideal conditions for the preparation of any kind of pilaf, imitating cooking in a cast -iron cauldron. Working hours 60 minutes.
2. Dairy porridge is an automatic program for cooking pasteurized milk of low fat content. Perfect for the preparation of useful breakfast and baby food.
3. Buckwheat is an automatic program for cooking crumbly aromatic buckwheat and side dishes from other types of cereals. It can also be used to prepare legumes. The operating time (30-40 minutes) is laid down by a microprocessor and cannot change.
4. Baking is a program that replaces the oven. With its help, you can bake bread, pies, desserts, make casseroles, pizza, meat in French and even bake the chicken. It can also be used for proofing yeast or puff pastry. Cooking time can be varied from 25 minutes. up to 60 min.
5. Turning - a program for making stew, stewed potatoes with meat, goulash, sills and other dishes that require prolonged delicate heat treatment. A large temporary range of work from 60 minutes. Up to 12 hours allows you to prepare any kind of jerky.
6. Steam cooking is a touch program for the preparation of low -calorie dishes and baby food. Natural replacement of a mant cooker. It can be used to sterilize children's dummy, bottles and plastic rattles. Preparation time can be adjusted manually in the range from 1 min. Up to 1 hour. The countdown begins only after boiling water in the bowl. Steam is automatically available from a special valve at the top of the device.
   

After the end of any of the programs, the heating function automatically starts and works 12 hours if it is not shut off manually. This is not always convenient, since some dishes, for example, pilaf or buckwheat, can deteriorate and dry out. Autopodic heating cannot be used to warm up cooled food, it is suitable only to maintain a hot dish in hot form. It is best to warm up food from the refrigerator in the “extinguishing” mode.

Features of the work of programs:

1. If you work with the Baking program and your dish has not been baked until the end after the end of the program, then installing the extra cooking time, say, 5 or 10 minutes, it will not work. In this case, you will have to re -run the program and turn it off manually after the necessary time.
2. The “Extinguishing” program is also impossible to “extend” for a short period of time - the minimum segment is 60 minutes.
3. In the Buckwheat program, the cooking time counting timer appears on the display only 8 minutes before the end of the program, which is quite inconvenient, because I would like to know how much time is before automatic heating turns on.
4. At the end of the working cycle, the Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker makes a loud sound signal.

Features of Panasonic SR TMH18 multicooker care

Taking care of the Panasonic SR-TMH18 multicooker is quite simple. The discomfort is only caused by the fact that the designers did not take care of making the lid removable or at least collapsible. The device can not be washed in a dishwasher or in running water, so you will have to wipe the lid separately. It is better to do this immediately after the end of cooking, especially if a lot of spices and seasonings were added to it (pilaf, goulash, kharcho).

The steam valve is easily removed, as well as the condensate container. To completely clean the slow cooker after the cooking session, it takes no more than 5 minutes.

Advantages and disadvantages of the Panasonic SR TMH18 multicooker

Since the model came out several years ago, and during this time Panasonic and other leading manufacturers have already come up with a huge number of more advanced innovations, it must be evaluated taking into account this fact.

Unfortunately, in this case, the disadvantages of the device turned out a little more:

• very thin anti -stick covering of the bowl;
• a spoon attached to the kit has sharp edges and scratches the bowl;
• there are very few recipes in the attached book;
• the cover is not removed and does not understand;

The device consumes quite a bit of electricity compared to new powerful models, so you will be able to save not only time, but also funds. Most disadvantages only applies to the software part, but this does not interfere with the multicooker Panasonic SR-TMH18 to remain one of the most popular even a few years after the release.
