U are looking for electric or the stove one?
If electric just buy any cheap 1 will do.
Last time I bought a fancy Philips with all the mumbo jumbo function ngam2 2 years warranty end the fucker rosak. Tried to repair the just say spare part no longer produce. Pak yew.
So I just recently bought a cheap midea 2++ pressure cooker to cook rendang last raya. Works fine with much more simpler operation. Just turn the dial to how long u want to cook. No need fancy shits

nice drilzz

/k is a pressure cooker of rapey 40 year olds

Looking for electric pressure cooker.

Midea quality ok?

Build quality not bad quite good. Fair for the price. Come with 2 pot. Pot is not as thick as the Philips one but the non stick is good. Cant say much as only used foe 2 months only.

But for that price worth my money la. If rosak also not that sakit hati.

It's better to buy stovetop pressure cooker, maintenance is much easier,
we been using Tefal for 10++ years now
only had to replace the silicone gasket 2-3 years ago
We bought it back in Europe though, dunno here got or not

Ikea has a cheap and good one
https://www.ikea.com/my/en/p/vaerdesaetta-p...steel-10286747/

I would stay clear off no-names, high pressure = high risk
any defect in manufacturing can cause boom-boom

If you are after an affordable one get an Elba or Midea. A better one would be a Philips or Tefal.

I started using an Elba and it lasted 5 years mainly used it to cook soups and stews. Recently bought a Tefal and very happy with it.

I would like to avoid stovetop pressure cooker if possible. Reason, i can keep my stew n soup warm the whole day.


which Tefal model u buy? Easy to clean?

How often do you use it

That's a reasonable reason, but still, haven't seen an electric one last that long
Especially with how electronics now are

The electronics should be ok. Problem is the materials used for the pressure cooker, either can withstand the pressure and heat or not. Especially the exterior part.

Nahh man, sometimes they cut corners, using lead-free solder is one of it
The constant cycle between heat and cooling added with the vibration during steam release sometimes play with the soldered joints. Easy repair for me, but to some, the garbage bin will be the final destination

Nowadays the requirement is lead free, else cannot sell into market, especially Europe. Lead free has higher melting point than the leaded solder. So, it is more robust. It is poor soldering that cause the failure you mentioned.

However, I agree with you the normal stove top pressure cooker is less troublesome. You would not know if the electric one goes haywire and explode when you leave it at home on simmer.

Heating food is easy with microwave nowadays

as someone that repair electronics in free time (all the time now), lead-free has been annoying to work with

It is more annoying since without good soldering iron, it is hard to get good wetability when soldering. Melting temperature is higher than leaded solder. Me, coming from old school, yes it feels annoying unless you have right tool.

Bumpz for more inputs

Philips.

Which model?

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/mid-year...KnJS2X&search=1

This model.. On sale atm too. Get it, won't regret. My wife uses it to cook soup.. 15mins gau tim.

I am using Philips. Quite ok

This one lari budget

I'm currently using the all-in-one cooker. Model HD2137 I think.

just buy philips any 6 liter
reason:

1. 2 year warranty
2. easy spare parts

primada brand, goshop selling at RM399, free 2 su304 stainless steel pot with cover, 6 liter pressure cooker.

I would stay clear of these rebranded one

ok, Phillips or tefal.

philips have the option to buy stainless steel pot too.

Yes it is a high pressure pot. please stick to branded.
the silicone ring will need to be replaced after 2 years. buying odd brand means difficult to get spare part.

Really out of budget i would love to get this is possible

noted

take up instalment plan if can't afford it, one shot. hahaha.


imo, worth every penny. firstly, saves u plenty of time.. awesome quality.

and also, i hardly use the gas stove anymore, so i save money on gas usage.

i just bought 3l joyoung yesterday, should be good.

Give review after use

i bought Philips HD2137 (6L).

been using for 2 years. no issues so far.

Using everyday? Noisy or not?

Not everyday. 2/3 times a week.

When cooking not noisy. Only when you let out the pressure.

I bought this particular one.

https://shopee.com.my/-READY-STOCK-Tefal-Ho...7238.4432312649

Yes it is very easy to clean and I chose this particular model because it is guaranteed to be reparable for 10 years and it is ceramic coated instead of the teflon non stick.

Since moving to a 400sqft studio I use it at least twice per week for stews and soups.

Nice. Putting this into my list

Ayam using Philips HD2178, quite good... using it everyday for soup and barley+pumpkin drink

What type of pot used for that model? Ceramic or stainless steel or teflon non-stick?

I'm definitely feeling the pressure down there =D

Mohon name of both drilz for research purposes!!

what if branded also produced by same chapalang tiongkok factory

what good soldering iron do you recommend? ts100 good deal or not?

If they had impose strict qc why not? + proper channel for warranty
just because same factory doesn't mean same quality

harver norman got

all 3 tefal pressure cookers.

the cheapest 399

That one is good, just need to buy a power supply for it though

Takde bang. I google image je. U try reverse search c c

Thats probably OEM edy.

But still, authentic > OEM cuz of strict production method and QC. Includes warranty too

oh, how much does a "good enough" power supply will cost to power this up?

If you have an extra laptop charger, that would be good enough
if not get a used one
19v 4.5a is the one I have, replace the jack with common barrel jack

Just check back properly, the power depends on the power supply voltage used

I think there an updated one using a usb c

I don't know about this iron. It is probably adequate for occasional hobbyist use, but if you are in repairing business that involves PCBA, then it probably not suitable.

It has temperature control but at what point the temperature is measured. The most important is the tip temperature and how fast the iron can recover the temp at the tip once in contact with component's lead during soldering.

I was reading the review and it looks like the power is more voltage driven than being constant current source device.

Looks like it is about average iron. The most important thing is that the availability of iron tip for different soldering purpose. You also need a good power supply for this. Here is the review I read about. Looks like the guy was comparing with Weller which is for pro use in general

https://hackaday.com/2017/07/24/review-ts100-soldering-iron/

Note: I use normal iron only but with power boost for quick heat or soldering big metal surface that would be impossible with 30W iron. I'm just using Hakko

cool, thanks. the usb-c ones looks good.

yah, more hobbyist - just to change a couple caps at home. already have a cheap china soldering iron that does the job though. what do you usually repair with you iron?

As for the USB-C, the current is defined as 5A max at 5V. This means only 25W. I think this is not adequate.

I don't use solder iron very often. Just to fix anything broken at home only. If nothing broken it will stay in storage for years

Soldering capacitor or whatever can be tricky even if the component is small. If the PCB is paper base class like FR1 or FR2, the copper trace can easily be de-laminated. Too hot iron can damage it. Probably more common one is FR4 (Epoxy base). However, if the lead of component you are soldering goes to grounding on the PCB, the low wattage iron can't heat fast enough. Thus you tent to heat it longer. By doing so, even the FR4 PCB can be damaged (lifted pad). Furthermore, heating component lead too long (recommended like 3s) can damage the component especially the semi-conductor).

Nahh mang, USB C got Power Delivery/PD can sustain 20v @5a

I see. Look like the USB4 has been defined. Anyone produce adapter at 100W yet?

Lots actually, many laptop psu tops at 130w now

I see. I've never seen laptop powered using USB-C

The world has change mang
Apple Macbooks all use USB C

Alot of windows laptop now use usb C as well

Heck, there's several phone that charges using usb C @ 65w

It comes with 2 pots, a stainless steel which I only use and nonstick one, never tried though

went to harvey norman, i end up with Philips HD2145, which is not in my shortlist

My list:-
1) Tefal CY638D
2) Tefal CY625D
3) Philips HD2137

My concern with (2) - the inner pot got riveted joints, which i will avoid at all cost.

For (3) - old tech but still very reliable. Manual release for pressure, which turn me off because i normally will have my food cook in the morning and go to work.

For (1) - Overbudget, but have all the function i needed. If compared to Philips HD2145, price is slightly higher, pot 5ltr only vs 6ltr. Functions is almost similar, but big difference is in the heating technology. CY638D using induction heating tech, while HD2145 using micro computer.

I end up choosing HD2145 cuz cheaper. The heating tech wont concern me much. And 6ltrs pot which is just nice for me.

Anyone has any experience with Tefal CY601D?
It’s on my shortlist with Philips HD2137. Can’t seem to decide between the two. Your thoughts are most welcome.

Regarding your bolded feedback, what will happen we didnt manual release the pressure? Impossible it will explode right, as i dun think philips will design something to dangerous.

For hd2145 that u bought, hows the review so far? Reliable? And easy to wash?

if not releasing pressure on time, then u can expect your food to be overcooked

HD2145, so far so good. very easy to wash. but need install the inner lid properly after u take it off to wash, or else the pressure will leaked out.

Oh man, then the manual release is really a turn off. There will be an indicator on the cooker if manual release need to be done? Or we need to agak2 the timing?

should have some sort of timer to remind you that it's done.

Now comes with pressure cooker and air fryer in 1 machine

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/imbacoap...2hNQkT&search=1

Ok, thanks. Still deciding between the 2137 and the 2145. So headache. I was actually leaning more towards 2137 as it is much easier to clean, but the manual release really turns off.

Do u consider tefal also initially? Hows the brand reliability compare to philips?

Philips is old, but definitely a reliable brand. I did consider tefal before, but specification n price wise is a letdown.

Tefal CY638D 5L pot.

Philips HD2145 6L pot.

Tefal > Philips in price.


I owned a tefal non stick pan, no matter how much care taken, the non stick material still wear off after one year. So...

Haha, thanks for the feedback. Guess i am going with philips too. Let me think which model to take

just curious, any issue with rivetted pot?

Rivetted pot? Harder to clean. And at high pressure, i dont know if the joints will be able to withstand in longer term.

i am actually considering this two models also.

previously using the CY601 the cheapest model. look wise it is not as good as the two for sure. but bigger capacity and comes with manual release of pressure.

(2) how u know the inner pot got riveted joints? what is the prob with this?

(1) considering to get the CY638D.

I have stove pressure cooker, deep fryer, juicer, all collecting dust...I think already deteriorated. One hot water for shower also never install!

seems like u urself is also collecting dust.

Cant remember hw i check. Few yrs ago afaik if riveted joints hardly will last long.

ic. so in the end which model u bought? i find tefal this brand ok. always use their cookware or cook appliance.

ever since i started to use the pressure cooker, i do not use cookware to cook food.

it is so convenient.

Philips HD2145

Me too. But mostly for making soup and steaming fish.

How now after 1 year?
I’m itching to buy the 8l HD2238 and upgrade from the 2137.

I bought Cornell Red pressure cooker and it lasts till now, but the secret is to open the bottom cover and put a cheap silicone pad between the bottom of the pot and the plastic box which holds the circuits. With my super high usage my unit is still ok because the circuit doesn't overheat. You can do the same with Phillips or whatever model.

But if I'm buying now, I would buy a model with Induction Heating (IH). There is a good one on Taobao for 400 Yuan. Or buy the Korea brands like Cuchen but over 1000 ringgit. Induction doesn't make kitchen hot and save a bit of power.

By the way buying a induction soldering iron on taobao really open my eyes to the incredible technology it is. Instant red hot. Unfortunately they don't sell anymore....

Anyone ever fried chicken in a pressure cooker?

What kind of silicone pad? Those cooling pads that people use for extra cooling hack for thr M1 MacBook Air?

midea

https://shp.ee/ismhex6

This one, RM 1.80. Stick to the bottom of the plastic box with the circuit with UHU Glue. Cut to size. Basically those electric pressure cooker never has problems except circuit overheat. This video shows the box. Basically glue the mat between the white box & the pot bottom.

Tqvm
Itchy hands has made me consider buying a Tefal Turbo Maxi Cuisine cooker

Still good. The only problem is to install the silicone rubber inside properly after cleaning up. Or else the next round you use, the water vapour will start escaping from the sides. I got a burn & dried up soup a few weeks ago

Yeah, my silicone gasket is about 6 years old, when it flops out, it makes it difficult to close the lid. So I think it is a flaw./ design feature haha.
Haven’t had any mishaps with failed dishes.
Just wished it was wider to get things in and out easier.
Tefal version, the gasket is inside the lid and no separate floating metal piece. Excited to getting it later.

This cooker nice?

Safety is important

Instant pot > all

Definitely can use
I still one pot cook curries or soups or tomyam my either my Phillips 6 litre and or my Tefal 8 litre.
Can even use to cook rice faster than rice cooker.
Tefal rice cooker is like a snail
Haha

how fast the philips pressure cooker cook rice?

Save many time?

Using pressure cooking time if 7 minutes for rice, plus the about 10 minutes to reach pressure. 17 minutes for 2 cups of rice.
A lot faster than 45 minutes with my Tefal rice cooker.

I havent used normal rice cooker for so long now but 40 mins is crazy lol. Your tefal one always like that or just old?

Always like that. A bit kesal buy it
Haha

Normal brand rice cooker how long cook rice?
