Overview of the Morphy Richards Saute & Soup

The model comes in a small glossy box. On the front part is a soup cooker, basic information about it, including the warranty period - 2 years. Inside is a coupon, instructions and recipes. The network cable is removable. Dimensions are 22.4 x 17 x 31 cm, so you don’t have to sacrifice much space.

The model is equipped reliably, in fact, there is nothing to break.

The main thing is to carefully remove the lid with a blender so as not to damage the non-stick coating. It is worth noting that most blades become dull during operation. The manufacturer decided to fix this problem by using Serrator with nicks. According to the developer, the blades remain sharp 12 times longer, and tests according to ISO 8442.5 standard confirm this. Actually, it has not yet been possible to verify the wear resistance and durability of the blender, since not a week has passed since the first operation of the device.

Before starting operation, it is necessary to remove all cardboard liners, packaging. The inside of the packaging must be washed with warm, running water. Now you need to plug the device into a power outlet.

To do this, insert the plug into the bottom of the device, plug the plug into a power outlet. The red indicator should light up, indicating that the device is ready for operation.

In any mode, mix the ingredients with a wooden spatula. Unfortunately, it is not included - you have to buy it, if not.

The working volume of the bowl is 1.6 liters, which is enough for cooking for 4-5 people. Quality coating. For this reason, there is no need to spend a lot of time cleaning the ingredients. However, the jug must not be washed in the dishwasher! It is enough to wash the container in warm water, and then wipe it with a sponge. Similarly with a blender blade. There are anti-slip legs at the bottom so that the device does not “run” on the table. The lid is removed without much effort, but you should not lose vigilance, because it is easy to cause mechanical damage to the coating.

The main controls are on top. By default, 4 automatic programs are installed:

1. “Smooch” - the mode is designed for making mashed soup. In this mode, use the blender automatically. Cooking time is 21 minutes;
2. "Chunky" - This mode is suitable for making thick soups. In particular, for the French, Pistou and the like. In this mode, the soup cooker runs for 28 minutes. In this case, the blender is not used;
3. “Juice” - this mode is intended for making cocktails and smoothies. When it is turned on, the device works for 2 minutes;
4. “Blend” is the blender mode. Must be included if you need to grind the ingredients. The time controls the user.

The model supports three functions, including grinding, heating and others. The inclusion of each of them is accompanied by the appearance of the corresponding symbol on the display. If you turned on the wrong mode, you must hold down the on / off button for 2 seconds.

After that, use the “Mode” button to select the appropriate mode, and turn it on again. In addition, the screen displays the countdown timer value. From time to time, the soup cooker may take a “pause”, but time will continue to count down, and this is normal.

For frying vegetables, the Soute function is used. It is suitable for frying onions, garlic, minced meat and bacon. It can be used for 5-10 minutes.

If you forgot to add seasoning or other ingredients, you need to use the "Pause" function, then remove the lid, add food, cover with a lid. Further, the device will continue its work.

The Saute & Soup 501014 brewer was tested on the basis of recipes from the book that comes with the kit. We decided to make tomato soup and a banana smoothie. We started from the first. Ingredients:

• onions - 1 pc.;
• garlic - 2 cloves;
• olive oil - 2 tablespoons;
• tomatoes - 1 kg;
• chicken broth - 200 ml;
• red pepper - 1 pinch;
• basil - 5 leaves;
• grated parmesan - 50 g;
• sugar - 1 teaspoon.

Prepared as follows. We switched on the saute mode for 1 minute. The soup cooker warmed up, added olive oil, as well as onions and garlic. So 2 minutes. Next, they made cruciform incisions in the tomatoes and poured boiling water. In this way it was possible to get rid of the skin. In the next step, all the ingredients were placed in the bowl. After 21 minutes, sprinkled with cheese. The result: convenient, fast and tasty.

Next, we decided to try the smoothie. The following ingredients were used for preparation:

• almond milk - 200 ml;
• peanut butter - 2 tbsp. l .;
• honey - 2 tsp;
• cinnamon - 1 tsp;
• banana - 2 pcs.

For cooking, finely chopped bananas. Next, turn on the juice mode. It took 2 minutes to implement the recipe, as written in the instructions.

I liked the clear instructions. Clearly and accurately spelled out the requirements for cleaning, operation, etc. Neither a lid nor a jug should be immersed in water, since there are electrical elements there. I found no defects in the design. The model is built perfectly. As for my opinion, it is not easy for ordinary customers to find an application for the device. This is a good solution for families with children. With the help of a cooker, simply cook mashed soups. It makes sense to buy if there is no blender and there is little space in the kitchen, since the device performs 2 functions at once. Unfortunately, you can’t fry meat - you can cook only vegetable frying. But for soups and cocktails - the normal option. In addition, there is a recipe book where you can find something delicious.

Summing up the review of Saute and Soup, I can say that the device is focused on a specific target audience. This is a good solution for young mothers, because it saves time. An excellent solution if there is no blender, since the device performs two tasks at once. It's great that in the kit there is a book of 20 recipes, with which it is easy to cook various snacks, cocktails and soups. The company’s blog has even more. Actually, you can experiment, not forgetting that the soup cook fries only vegetables, minced meat, but not pieces of meat. In general, the design is reliable, I did not find any defects and there is no doubt in the manufacturer's reliability. Buy or not - you decide!
