Many housewives around the world have already appreciated all the advantages of the main assistant in the kitchen - multicookers. This indefatigable miracle pan seemed to have come to our table from a famous children's fairy tale. One has only to say: “Pot - cook!” And you will get a lot of delicious and, most importantly, healthy dishes. What can I cook in a slow cooker?
Anything! Absolutely every model can easily cope with soups and borsch, stew and a variety of cereals, including dairy. And if your slow cooker has the function of frying and baking, then you can cook french fries, ruddy meatballs, and a sweet cake for dessert!
What can I cook in a crock-pot in a hurry? In fact, an ordinary multicooker does not speed up the cooking process, it just makes it easier, freeing up time for other things. Indeed, this device allows you to load all the products for a particular dish into the bowl at once, set the desired program ... and forget it! When the multicooker finishes the cycle and turns off (emits a signal), you can open the lid and set the table. Most models have a delayed start function, which allows you to get a hot meal when you get home from work or a boiled milk porridge for breakfast.
Put all the ingredients, set the program and the delay time - that's all, you can go to work, walk, go to bed or do other things. Some models have a heating function. When the dish is ready, the cooking program is turned off, but the slow cooker continues to maintain a temperature of about 65-70 degrees for 12 hours. What can you cook in a slow cooker for the arrival of guests? Pie or roast depends only on the hostess’s imagination.
What is the principle of operation of the multicooker? It is a plastic case with buttons and a panel display; a bowl with a Teflon or ceramic coating is inserted inside. After the products are loaded, the bowl is closed by a lid, a program is set, the heating element located under the bowl starts to work, the dish is prepared. There is a valve on top of the lid through which steam escapes, and on the side of the body there is a container for collecting condensate.
Often a slow cooker is compared to a Russian stove, because dishes from it are so similar to those that were languishing in the oven. And steamed dishes in the multicooker, cooked in a special plastic insert, retain their vitamins and are great for diet food.
