Done by leaving it alone! An honest review of Recolte's Auto Cooking Pot
*This article contains advertisements.
Hello, I'm Ako (@llattehome).
You can make delicious potage just by adding ingredients and pressing start.
You don't have to chop ingredients finely or watch over the heating process.
Did you know that such a convenient product is sold by Recolte?
So, this is the product I'm introducing today,
Recolte's automatic cooking pot, the "Auto Cooking Pot".
It's a kitchen appliance that automatically handles everything from heating to stirring just by adding ingredients and pressing a button.
In this post, I will write about this product that I use regularly, including how I actually use it, as well as its convenient points and the parts I found difficult to use.
The convenience of leaving it alone and a design that blends into your interior
Even if you love cooking, there are moments when you wish you could make something delicious with less effort, right?
I love cooking too, but sometimes I want to minimize the amount of dishes to wash.
This Auto Cooking Pot can make potage, smoothies, and even soy milk and okara from soybeans, all by leaving it alone.
Many kitchen appliances have a strong presence, but this one looks cute and can be placed in the kitchen in calm colors.
It comes in these three colors.
Cream White
Natural Black
Mocha Brown
All of them have a simple, matte design that doesn't stand out too much.
I liked that it would blend into my kitchen.
It really made potage just by leaving it alone
In our home, the Auto Cooking Pot gets a lot of use when making corn potage.
My children love it and often request to make it.
But since you really just have to put the ingredients in, it's easy enough for children to help make it.
Just follow the instructions in the recipe book and add the necessary ingredients in order.
For the corn potage introduced here,
milk → corn → butter → salt
just add the ingredients in this order and select the [POTAGE&PASTE] mode!
First, pour in 200ml of milk,
In our house, we use one can of corn (200g).
Next, add a small piece of butter (10g)
Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the preparation is done.
This part is up to your preference, but in our house, we add about a teaspoon of consommé and sugar to make it easier for the children to drink.
All that's left is to choose the mode and press the switch.
After that, leave it to the pot.
It will be finished in about 25 to 30 minutes.
In the meantime, you can make other dishes or finish your chores, so it really is hands-off.
Before you know it, the potage is ready.
The finish is smooth, just as if you had used a separate blender.
It's a big help that I don't have to keep an eye on it while it's working.
The capacity of this Auto Cooking Pot is 600ml.
The amount you can make at once is roughly 2 to 4 servings.
The included recipe book introduces 30 recipes, including pumpkin potage.
And the best part is that the children eat it while saying how delicious it is.
They ask for seconds, so it disappears in an instant.
A large size is recommended if you want to make a lot
For families with many members or those who want to make a lot, the large size (800ml) is also recommended.
The large size can handle cooking for 4 to 5 people.
Furthermore, the large size has additional features not found in the standard size, so it might be good to compare the performance before choosing.
Here are the additional features of the large size that are not in the standard size.
Enhanced stirring blade
Cooking modes increased to 7
Reservation function added
Display shows remaining time
Waterproof design makes it easy to wash
As an automatic cooking pot, the standard size is already excellent enough, so I think you will be satisfied whichever one you choose based on your preference.
Points of concern are the difficulty in washing and the operating noise
I will also honestly write down two points that concern me.
The first is that it cannot be fully washed in water.
For the standard size, the outside of the main unit must not get wet, so you have to be a little careful when washing it.
The blade inside also cannot be removed, so it is hard to tell if it is being washed thoroughly even when using the included brush.
There is a cleaning mode, so you can also wash the blade by putting water and neutral detergent inside.
The second is that the operating noise is quite loud.
Especially when the blade is rotating and stirring, it makes about as much noise as using a mixer.
Therefore, it might be best to use it when the noise won't bother you, such as during breaks in housework or when children are playing.
Conclusion | Who I want to try this
This time, I have introduced how I usually use the Recolte Auto Cooking Pot.
Put in the ingredients, press the switch, and then you can just leave it alone.
It is hard to imagine that you can really make smooth potage just by doing that until you try it.
But I am sure you will be satisfied once you try it.
In particular, I want these kinds of people to use it.
