Review on Philips AVENT SCF883/01 4-in-1 steamer blender by Barbara Krasowicz ᠌

It is sad that the problems with the double boiler began after a month. As long as it functions. I bought a new one for 8000, I planned to use it carefully, and then sell it. But now I don't know how long it will take. With its pros: - Cooks quickly, efficiently - Minimum dirty dishes. - You can cook even a very small portion. - Excluded digestion of food, even if you forget about it - You can adjust the degree of grinding (though I haven’t used this function yet) - Recipe book included (which I never used) - Pretty compact for a kitchen. Some cons: - Somewhere in a month, problems began with closing the lid: it began to fit loosely, now you have to press it manually. Because of this, in the steamer mode, steam comes from under the glass, and not from above. You have to put something heavy on top to press it. And in blender mode, it does not work at all until you press the lid. - Price. Some write that it pays for the cost of canned food, did not consider it. Still buy raw materials. - Unfortunately, this unit is difficult to use for anything other than baby food: the container is small, for a maximum of one adult serving. Raw materials need to be cut into small pieces up to 1 cm (according to the instructions), not all adults will like such boiled small pieces. It is impossible to steam, for example, meatballs or manti, because. the raw material is placed on the knife from the blender, and then turned over and all the contents fly upside down onto the lid. - For me, the defrost and heating functions were useless. I defrost either in advance or under a stream of warm water, this unit defrosts for 30 minutes. To warm up, you need to transfer the food to a special container, then to a plate, the heating process is at least 20 minutes. The microwave does it in 30 seconds. - Timer without countdown.
