The multicooker is undoubtedly a technological thing, very convenient for household use. But it has a number of disadvantages that can make your purchase unprofitable.
The cost
Multicooker starts at about three thousand rubles. If she just stands, you shouldn't give extra money for her. And it can be idle for several reasons.
Simple dishes
Omelets, scrambled eggs, fried toast and other simple quick breakfasts require almost no effort. And turning on the multicooker will be much more troublesome than cooking these dishes the old fashioned way, in a frying pan. In addition, multicooker does not fry and bake very well. Often, the bottom is baked, but the top remains pale. To eliminate these problems, you will have to spend a much larger amount to purchase this device.

Slicing
The function of cutting products in a multicooker is simply not there and cannot be. If you love salads, then it will not help you much in their preparation.

Sophistication
The multicooker has no ability to add food in a timely manner. It follows that it is not so great to cook soups in it. Since if you throw in all the products at once, and they will be cooked at the same temperature regime, and they have different densities, then some will be cooked, and some will be vice versa. That is, if you are not indifferent to the quality of the soup, then the multicooker is not for you.
Volumes
The multicooker has a limited amount of food. This means that if you needed to cook more, due to the arrival of guests, you will have to run it several times in a row, or then a multicooker is not suitable for you. Also, you will not be able to cook several dishes at the same time. In this case, the multicooker is not capable of replacing the four-burner stove. Also in many dishes, you will have to cook the frying separately.

Difficulties of choice
The choice of a multicooker should be approached very anxiously. Many of them have some kind of frank jambs. For example, a flying valve or a non-stick coating of the bowl, which will certainly ruin your cooking experience. Most of these problems are found in budget models, which means that the choice of an inexpensive multicooker is undesirable.

Electricity
The disadvantages include the inability to cook in the absence of electricity. Our electricity is often cut off, and it was still not enough for our power to depend on these changes in work. The gas stove, in this respect, is much more stable.
In addition, after turning off the electricity, multicooker, basically, throw off the program. And if, at the moment of turning off, food was being prepared in it, it will start cooking it again after turning on the network.
