I tried using the automatic cooker ``CHEFDRUM (Chef Drum)'' that makes perfect stir-fried food and deep-fried food while rotating around.



There are several cooking appliances that automatically cook food just by putting ingredients in and pressing a button. In the automatic cooker ' CHEFDRUM (Chef Drum) ' that appeared from Iris Ohyama, it is possible to cook stir-fried dishes such as green pepper meat by rotating the inner pot. Such a chef drum came to the editorial department, so after

checking the appearance , I actually tried automatic cooking of green pepper meat, pasta, and fried chicken.

◆1: I tried to make green pepper meat string
The recipe book that comes with the Chef Drum contains the ingredients required for automatic cooking, the automatic cooking number, and how to process the ingredients. For example, the page of green pepper meat silk looks like this.



I prepared the ingredients according to the recipe book to make green pepper meat silk. The prepared ingredients are pork, boiled bamboo shoots, green peppers, oyster sauce, sake, soy sauce, mirin, potato starch, sesame oil, sugar, salt and pepper.



First, mix oyster sauce and sake ......



Pour into the inner pot.



Cut the green pepper into strips ......



Pour into the inner pot.



Shred the pork as well.



After cutting, put it in the inner pot.



Boiled bamboo shoots are also put into the inner pot.



This is what the inside of the inner pot looks like. The ingredients were not stirred, just put in order as above.



After putting the ingredients in the inner pan, set the inner pan on the chef drum body ......



Close the lid and set the steam vent to 'open'.



Finally, adjust the tilt of the chef drum as instructed in the recipe book and you're good to go.



After that, you can start cooking by pressing the start button according to the menu number written in the recipe book.



In the movie below, you can see how the chef drum cooks the pepper meat. When you play the movie, you can see that the inner pan rotates and the ingredients inside are stirred.

The results of measuring the temperature of the chef drum during cooking with infrared thermography are as follows. The area around the steam port has risen to 94.2 degrees.



The sides are 33.9 degrees. The sides are not hot, but the area around the steam vent is hot, so be careful not to touch it while cooking.



As the heating progresses, the good smell of meat and sauce drifts. All you have to do is wait while the food is being cooked, and the aroma of the food will waft through the air as you wait, giving you the feeling of being at home waiting for someone to cook for you.



Green pepper meat is completed in about 7 minutes after pressing the start button.



However, when I checked the grilling, the pork was raw and it was not yet complete.



If the heating is not enough, extended heating is possible. To extend, close the lid, press the 'time' button, set the extension time and press the start button OK.



As a result of extended heating for 5 minutes, the undercooked part is gone. The chef drum rotates the inner pan and stirs the ingredients, but this time it seems that the pork was not stirred enough and it was raw. For this reason, when putting ingredients into the chef drum, be careful not to lump them as much as possible, and after completion, it is recommended to check the doneness before eating.



It looks like this when the finished green pepper meat is served on a plate. If you try to make green pepper meat string yourself, you need to keep shaking the frying pan or wok while paying attention to the heat, but if you use the chef drum, you can cut the ingredients, put them in the inner pot and press the button to complete cooking. To do. You can wash the cutting board and knives and clean up the desk while you wait for the cooking to be completed, so you can make good use of your time.



When I ate the green pepper meat string cooked with a chef drum, the bamboo shoots were crispy and the green peppers were tender. There were no burnt parts. Although it wasn't completed at the push of a button, in the end it turned out perfectly.



◆2: I tried to make cream pasta
In general, when making pasta, it is necessary to boil the pasta in a large amount of hot water, then discard the hot water and mix it with the sauce and ingredients. You can make cream pasta by simply adding ingredients and pressing a button.


To make cream pasta, I prepared milk, salt and pepper, pasta, consommé, bacon, butter, onion, and shimeji mushrooms.



First, cut the onion, bacon, and shimeji mushrooms into appropriate sizes and put them in the inner pot.



Next, fold the pasta in half and add it.



Then add milk, water and butter.



Below is how all the ingredients are put in. In this state, the pasta is not soaked in liquid, but the recipe book does not describe the stirring process, so let's cook it as it is.



When the inner pot is set in the chef drum body and automatic cooking is started, the pasta softens as it is heated while rotating and becomes immersed in liquid.



The finished cream pasta looks like this. There is no boiled pasta left and it is completely soft.



I served it on a plate. The water has a moderate viscosity, and there is no feeling of shabushaba.



When I try to eat it, the pasta has no core left, but it is not too soft and it is finished in an appropriate boiled condition as a cream pasta.



I thought, ``If you make it with the same recipe, you can make the same cream pasta with a normal pot and gas stove?'' While it is necessary to keep stirring, it is quite troublesome. In addition, there is also the problem that it is difficult to grasp the timing of the completion of cooking, and the result is that the merit of automatic cooking of Chef Drum is well understood.



◆3: I made fried chicken
Fried foods are also included in Chef Drum's automatic cooking menu. This time I decided to try making fried chicken.



First, prepare cooking sake, soy sauce, chicken thighs ... ...



Place in a sealable bag and soak.



This time, I put it in the refrigerator and marinated it for 24 hours.



Dust the marinated chicken with potato starch and you're good to go.



After that, put 300 ml of oil in the inner pan ......



Start automatic cooking and preheat the oil.



When preheating is completed, quietly add chicken thighs ......



Press the start button again.



Then, it will rotate and cooking will start.



After completion, the fried food looks like this. Since you can make fried food with the lid closed, there was no oil splashing in the room.



When I cut it in half, the fire was well through the center. Fried chicken with a moist texture. If you devise the type of batter, you can make fried chicken with a variety of textures.



◆ 4: Cleaning up after chef drums
The inner pot of the chef drum is shaped like a dented pot of a rice cooker. For this reason, when washing, it can be washed as easily as washing the kettle of a rice cooker.



As for the lid, I felt that the packing and handle were a little difficult to wash.



◆ 5: Summary
Before actually using Chef Drum, I thought, ``Even if only the heating part is automatic, it won't be so easy because the time and effort to cut the ingredients will not change.'' It is a considerable advantage that you do not have to stand in front of the stove all the time, and you can prepare such as washing the kitchen knife and cutting board and cleaning up the desk before the heating is completed, so the time from starting cooking to actually eating was able to be significantly reduced. In addition, fried chicken and pasta became the appropriate heating condition in one shot, so it can be highly recommended for those who say 'I'm not good at cooking heat'.



In addition, Chef Drum is sold at Amazon.co.jp at 54,780 yen including tax at the time of article creation.
