Let's not argue: both types of cookware, if you can call them that, have both advantages and disadvantages.
However, due to the multicooker’s ability to save time and actually cook without the participation of a cook, many “users” find this option more attractive.
If you are just looking at such equipment, you will probably find the advice on choosing it useful.
The first point to decide on is the bowl volume. It depends on the portion size you are going to cook. If the family is large, choose a multicooker with a bowl that holds 4-5 liters, otherwise 2-3 liters will be enough.
In addition, check out the functions and choose those that are important to you, such as steam cooking or a yogurt maker.
It is important to note the presence of timer, delayed start and keep warm functions. The delayed start allows you to cook food at a time convenient for you, and the keep warm function ensures even heating of food after cooking.
Another important parameter is power, which determines the speed of cooking. The minimum value should probably be 500 W.
It is also worth evaluating criteria such as ergonomics and control, although they are admittedly quite subjective. Try to understand whether a particular model is suitable for your kitchen and whether it is convenient to use.
Finally, take a closer look at the multicooker's accessories, which may include additional accessories such as a measuring cup, ladle, steamer container, spoon, etc.
