Bork U800 Multivark: review, software description, reviews

In the search for quality equipment of high class for the kitchen, it is worthwhile to understand that the price will be much higher than in budgetary options. The Bork U800 is a clear proof of this. Is its high cost justified? What can upset this multivark? What are the advantages of choosing the right one? What is this brand? In this review you can find answers not only to these questions.

Manufacturer

First of all, it is worth noting that the trade mark "Bork" is not known all over the world. And, despite the fact that their products are produced in most cases for CIS countries, the company can rightfully be called successful.

According to official data, the company "Bork" appeared in 2001 in Germany and immediately positioned itself as a producer of small kitchen appliances. She was also the first company that was able to open her own network of boutiques that offer their customers home appliances for the premium segment. All products are produced in countries such as Hungary, Poland, China, Germany, as well as Korea.

Multivark Design

The exterior of the Bork U800 Bronze, whose characteristics we will discuss below, is somewhat futuristic, yet stylish enough. The model received an oval plastic case, stylized for polished aluminum or bronze with black elements. It is quite beautiful and will fit the kitchen, made in a variety of styles.

The front panel has a control panel with touch keys and a rotary knob. The voice guide, which is equipped with the Bork U800 multivarker, will help to properly manage it.

Speaking about the features of the front panel, the display has a very nice blue backlight. They highlight not only buttons, but also indicators of important work processors. A multifunction regulator in the center will help to change the temperature and time in both directions, which greatly simplifies the use of the device. Pressing it will launch the selected program. In total, in the multivark seven control buttons and 15 programs for cooking various dishes.

On the cover or on top of the housing is a removable steam adjustment valve, a pen stylized with a precious stone, and a chrome cover opening button. Turning the knob automatically initiates the opening of the steam release valve.

Characteristics

Before you disassemble all the advantages and disadvantages, you should basically know what the Bork U800 multivarker offers. If we talk about the main characteristics, then the power of this device is 1400 watts. These are quite high indicators.

Induction multivark combined in itself such devices as:

• double boiler;
• oven;
• Slow-welding;
• The cook;
• Pressure cooker.

A bright representative of the premium line of multivorak brand "Bork" has all the necessary characteristics for quick and high-quality cooking of both simple cereals and restaurant delights.

Self-cleaning valve

On top of the cover is a removable steam release valve. Next to it is a fairly large "crystal" handle, the turn of which automatically opens the valve. It's nice that its location protects your hands from hot steam, and you can use the handle safely.

On the main panel there is a self-cleaning valve button. In order to conduct this operation, it is necessary to pour in a bowl of clean water to the lowest mark - 500 ml. Then press the key on the touch panel and wait for the sound signal to end. After waiting a few more minutes, open the lid. Once the bowl has cooled, it can be washed, and the valve is already clean.

Nevertheless, from time to time it is recommended to wash the valve, lid and some more parts manually. On how to disassemble the multibook Bork U800 correctly, we'll talk later.

Induction heating

The fact that the Bork U800 Bronze multivarker deserved real popularity is its four- zone induction heating. How does it differ from those in budget machines? Induction heating is the work directly with the metal of the bowl, namely its uniform heating from all sides. By the way, the temperature regime is not only smoothly regulated, but also accurate up to one degree. It grows very gently to the desired level and quickly cools down, which is not to say about the budget models.

Equipment

With the box in which the buyer receives the product, often there were incidents. The Bork U800 Silver, whose reviews are mostly positive, gets its drawback precisely because the bottom of the colored and bright box suddenly opens. The consequence of this discovery may be a broken machine, which definitely will not bring pleasure to anyone. On the very box, which looks pretty stylish, marked the main characteristics of this multiushef.

From the complete set, in addition to the multivark itself, you can find:

• Two measuring glasses.
• Four ceramic cups with lids.
• Blade for stirring.
• A basket for steaming (which is remarkable - two-level).
• The main multilayer bowl with non-stick coating, the handles of which do not heat up.
• Two books of recipes (one small and with simple recipes, the second - a whole book from the Italian chef).
• Power cord.
• Quite detailed instructions.

Separately I want to mention a basket for cooking useful dishes for a couple. It looks perfect - the plastic is translucent, and the drawing is quite artistically executed. And the ability to cook on two levels significantly reduces the cooking time. True, based on the responses, a multivark worth about 40,000 Russian rubles could be put and forceps. But this is not catastrophic.

Bowl

This is what will delight everyone. Why? It completely corresponds to the declared characteristics and something is similar to a cast-iron tank. Than? It is made of an eight-layer material and is coated with a special substance that includes activated carbon. Its real volume (and it always differs from the maximum specified by the manufacturer) is 3 liters. is that enough? On a small family, taking into account what experts are now preparing to recommend daily - quite.

Thermally insulated handles, in addition to their direct function and full compliance with their name, are also encouraged by the fact that they do not interfere with preparing meals in a hermetically sealed multivark.

Sounds

As mentioned earlier, the Bork U800 Silver is equipped with a voice assistant, which can be turned off if necessary. Although in fact, he very much helps those who have only purchased such a kitchen monster or just scattered.

About the other sounds of the phone, the reviews are negative, since it's impossible to turn them off, but the machine squeaks quite often - when you select and configure programs, start and end their work, 5 minutes before the end of work, because to notify everyone that pairs will be released right away Required! This soundtrack should be to show the user how smoothly everything passes and whether it works in principle. But if there are small children in the house, then during their sleep it is not possible to use the multishef. The same story, if you set off a delayed start for the morning to eat fresh, say, soup - the whole house will be notified that it is already beginning to be cooked.

Delayed start and heating

By the way, if we talk about the internal timer, then it works without censures. If you specify that you need to start cooking in 21 minutes, it is exactly after such a long time that an audible warning will sound and the corresponding "chugging" from the valve with steam.

As soon as the cooking program time is over, Smart Warm mode or heating is activated. It can work up to 36 hours, which can also be adjusted and controlled due to the special color of the backlight. The only drawback of this function can be considered the impossibility of disabling it. Why?

Some dishes, for example, pies or yogurt, do not need such heating, especially taking into account the lowest temperature mark in 60 degrees Celsius. So sometimes to watch the end of the work is still worth it.

Energy saving

This aspect is especially relevant in the light of the aspiration of modern society to take care of the resources of the planet as carefully as possible. In the multifunction "Bork" power saving mode is turned on very quickly - just a minute of inactivity. In order to get out of it, you need to touch any button or open / close the lid.

Security

The Bork U800, whose recipes impress with its variety, operates at fairly high temperatures. In the instructions, nothing is said about safety, but if the cup does not stand in the multivariate, no program will start. The manufacturer claims that there are 20 built-in security degrees, but what exactly it is about, is not specified.

The multivar has its "reverse side of the coin" in the concern for safety. For example, before you cook a pilaf in the Bork U800 multivark, you need to remind yourself that once the lid of the unit is closed, in order to get inside, you need to stop the program. This is not always convenient. Especially when it comes to dishes in which there is a phased addition of ingredients.

Programs

The most favorite program for those who have a multi-bar induction multichek Bork U800 has become a "multi-cook". It allows you to adjust the cooking time and temperature independently. Although there is no desire to complain about any of the programs in this device.

"Rice" and "Pilaf" are two fundamentally different programs that prepare this cereal in its own way. In the first rice it turns out more adherent and does not attract attention to itself. To him, bright both in terms of colors and taste of the dish - salads, cutlets and so on. In the program "Pilaf" the result itself is quite bright, so that additional dishes and salads are not so important to it.

"Cottage cheese" is a program that seems to have captured the world, because most people buy a multivarquet only for the opportunity to cook their own cottage cheese. And, to be honest, the Bork U800 of such people will not disappoint. It's a pity that the Yogurt program can not be found.

"Bouillon" in the multivark turns transparent, tasty and rich. And all this is due to the fact that meat is processed very gently and in the right temperature regime.

The name of the other programs speaks for itself - "Zharka", "Quenching", "Steamer", "Oven", "Slowwovarka". How good are they? Consider several examples.

Dishes

If you are talking about pilaf, then the multivark Bork U800 recipes in the kit is from the very Carlo Greek - the Italian chef of the restaurant "House of Carlo", known throughout the world.

• Pilaf.

For a truly luxurious plov in a multivark rice should be held in water for two hours. Half an hour before the end of this period, you need to put into the bowl chopped beef slices and fry it for 20 minutes. Then add onions and carrots. Waiting for the golden color on the bow, and the program "Hot" will cope with this mission with a bang, pour water, add salt and seasonings, finishing all the rice. For 50 minutes in the "Plov" mode we will get a fragrant and tasty dish. Is more than necessary? By the way, the specified time in the mode of the machine will calculate itself taking into account moisture and its aspects.

• Pie.

The very dish that makes those who have an oven get rid of it. Why? The cake, cooked according to the recipe, turned out to be gentle as a souffle, but rather wet. It seems to melt in your mouth, confirming that the multicore-induction multicheork Bork U800 is really what lovers of sweet and baking need.

• Stew.

This recipe shows how well the "Quenching" mode works in the multivark. Each vegetable has its own taste due to pressure, and the dish turns out juicy, satisfying, and most importantly - useful.

Care of the multicore

As mentioned above, self-cleaning is fine, but manual cleaning is still necessary. This event has a number of features, although most of them are told by the Bork U800. How to disassemble the lid? You need to click on the corresponding button all on the same cover - Push. What is the result? The shield that closes the inside of the cover will automatically go away and open the space that needs to be cleaned with a soft sponge. The very same element is easy to clean under running water with the same sponge with detergent. Seal from the lid is strictly prohibited!

The container, into which the condensate is drained, must be emptied after each time, as was used the Bork U800 Bronze multivark. Feedback about this process is negative, because pulling out this box of liquid without breaking it and splashing the contents is an extremely difficult task.

The valve on the outside of the cover is easily twisted. After that, the lid is easily removed, and the space beneath it is easy to clean with a soft washcloth. The valve itself can be easily rinsed under water and dried for re-installation.

Do not wash the appliance in the dishwasher. Yes, and there is no sense, because all the details are washed easily and without the use of force.

Repairs

All equipment is imperfect and the Bork U800 multivarker has not become an exception. Repair by yourself for such expensive equipment is not worth it. The task of the device's owner is to monitor the cleanliness of the device and observe everything that is said in the manual. If there are any problems - take the device to a service center. It's much cheaper than trying to fix it yourself and kill the multivark completely.

disadvantages

In fact, the review of the Bork U800 and U803 is very similar and different at the same time. Both models have approximately the same value, but different design, due to which practicality grows. Of course, we did not consider U803, but it is more practical due to the finished dishes stitched into it. That's a bit short of the U800.

The reason for the second drawback may be the desire to modernize the device. The Bork U800 can not be repaired by hand, so anything that is not permitted in the operating instructions should not be used.

It is impossible to turn off the preheating in advance, which could damage the dish. This, of course, is not the greatest catastrophe, but it is unpleasant. Like the absence of the Yogurt program, which has become so popular recently.

A small temperature interval is also a little frustrating. In the realities of the modern world, this framework can be expanded somewhat.

And the last thing the Bork U800 is criticized for is the price. Although, having considered all the advantages of this multishef, everything immediately falls into place.

Advantages

The Bork U800 multivark-induction multitrack works stably and without interruption. This is the very advantage that most devices can not boast of. And this accuracy is due to the induction heating element, which ensures the accuracy of the temperature regime up to 1 degree.

Of the obvious merits - design. Everything is done very discreetly and stylishly. Not to notice this beauty is impossible. And are these compact sizes? You can buy such a multivark even owners of very small kitchens.

Various modes and programs open even to the unskillful chefs of the door into the world of both simple dishes and culinary delights. A wide palette of dishes, available through a book of recipes, from any will make a chef at the highest level.

A bowl that has no equal among competing models. It really does not burn anything. Even a small volume, which is different from the one declared by the manufacturer, can not send the cup to the list of minuses, since it is performed quite qualitatively, however, like the whole unit.

Sufficiently long power cable can also be attributed to the advantages, because the device can be put as close to the outlet, and away.

conclusions

And here he is the main question - is the multifunctional Bork U800 worth 550 dollars? This question will remain unanswered. Why? If a person knows the cost of induction, this device seems to him quite cheap. And if the buyer believes that the ceramic bowl is better than the thick metal, which is evenly heated from all sides, then does it make sense for him to explain something?

In any device, you can find many advantages and disadvantages. And each person will see something of his own. Whether it is worth buying such a product is already an individual decision.
