The number of recipes for various varieties of bread, cakes, cakes, cogs can reach several dozen. It is desirable that the bread maker knew how to bake exactly those varieties of bread that you are used to eating. So, let's say, not all models can bake with rye or Borodinsky. It is recommended that the shape of the bowl corresponds to the bread variety (best of all, of course, when there are two bowls of different shape in the bread maker, as in the Bork x780 model). A good additive to the bread recipes in the country conditions will be recipes for cooking jam and jam.

Electronic control models are more expensive, but allow you to more accurately set the work parameters, in particular, to start the deferred mode (up to 24 hours) of the start. Standing yogurters on average from 1 to 5 thousand rubles.

Freezer

Ice cream can also be prepared on your own, the benefit on sale there are electric ice cream products that will make the cooking process automated and fairly fast (for example, the cooking time of 350 g of ice cream in the SC-IM22255 Scarlett ice cream is only 20 minutes).

Choose a model on the volume of the bowl (from 500 ml in the VITEK VT-8600 model to 1350 ml in the Bork E801 model), the number of recipe modes, the maximum cooling temperature (up to -30 ° C - the lower, the better) and additional functions.

Machinery for cooking

Juicer

With a good yield for the operational processing of the rapid flow of fruits and berries, you will need appropriate devices. First, of course, the juicer.

Juicer for seasonal blanks should be good performance. Here are not very suitable, for example, models in which cake pressed fruits accumulate inside the juicer housing. Such models are better used for daily preparation of small juice volumes. They work pure and silently, but many fruits will not be replaced at once, the juicer will have to open and clean. For the cottage it is desirable to choose a model with a maximum diameter of the loading hole (usually up to 80-85 mm) so that you do not need to waste time on the cutting of large fruits. As for the type of juicer, here is the advantage of auger models compared to conventional centrifugal models. They are good first of all with their ability to press juice from any berries, including those on which centrifugal juicers are not designed - from berries with a large number of small bones: raspberries, currants, gooseberries. The only disadvantage of screw juicers is their higher price: such equipment can be purchased for the amount of 4-5 thousand rubles. (There are, of course, and much more expensive "designer" models), and centrifugal can be found at a price of 1-2 thousand rubles.

Blender

In the country conditions, blenders with the bowl have proven well. With their help, you can prepare various vegetable and fruit mixes with the pulp, which are considered more useful than just pressed juice. In terms of performance, blenders, of course, will not compare with the juicers, but will be quite by the way to organize daily healthy nutrition. In addition, the blenders are convenient for the preparation of portions of dishes, which can be immediately taken on the picnic. This is a model, which includes bottles and containers for cooking and carrying mixtures, such as the Philips on the Go, Electrolux Sports, Bosch VitaStyle Mixx2Go and similar.

Dryer

Another very useful device for seasonal cottage blanks is a dryer of products. It can be dried in vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, and the drying process passes several times faster than in the fresh air. In some models, for example, Scarlett SC-FD421005, you can also prepare a graze and jerk meat. In household models, a convective drying mechanism is used with a heated air, but there are models (usually more expensive) with infrared (IR) drying mechanism. IK-drying is considered more efficient, it is less overheated in it and their taste and beneficial properties are preserved better.

Dryers differ in power (from 250 to 1000 W), capacity (the volume of the working chamber - from ten to several tens of liters, in some models, the maximum load weight is also indicated - up to 4-5 kg), control system design (mechanical or electronic), Case designs. Pay special attention to the body, the convenience of its design depends on the number of pallets, which can be installed in it, from how easily the pallets are inserted and removed, whether they can be cleaned easily, you can easily be washed in the dishwasher. In most electric equipment, the working chamber is made of colorless transparent plastic - this option is more convenient, as it is easier to visually monitor the state of the processed fruits.

Most often, the dryers have a cylindrical, round in the plan shape, are less likely there are models that have a rectangular shape. It is believed that on a rectangular pallet can be placed more processed fruits, but there are consumers with which the round form of the pallet seems more convenient. The cost of electrical dryers for vegetables and fruits is from 1 to 10 thousand rubles., IK-drying "Dachnik" can be purchased for 7-8 thousand rubles, and IR Drying L'Equip IR-D5 - for 35 thousand rubles .

If you are going to make blanks for the winter, choose a refrigerator with a roomy (100-120 liter) camera, and with large volumes of blanks it is better to purchase a separate freezer

Storage technique

At the cottage it will take a spacious refrigerator. And if there are interruptions in the supply of electricity, it is desirable to choose a model for a long time holding cold. See the "Autonomous Cold Save" parameter, it is desirable that the refrigerator has withstands at least 10-15 hours. And even better 25-30 hours, such models have Liebherr, Gorenje, Miele, Siemens and some other manufacturers.
