Semolina porridge in a slow cooker. Recipes with milk, meat, pumpkin and delicacies

The very baby porridge can be incredibly tasty! Thanks to the multicooker, semolina is obtained without lumps, cooks quickly, the consistency becomes homogeneous, boiled. The advantage of using a pressure cooker is that there is no need to mix the product. It will not burn and retain a delicate texture.

The subtleties of cooking

It is known that in the Middle Ages in Russia semolina was not boiled, but languished. They did this in furnaces where the temperature did not reach 100 degrees. Thanks to this heat treatment, the grains swelled, protein and starch were not destroyed. The porridge was viscous, but with clearly defined grains. And on its surface a film was not formed, which is not so loved today by children and adults.

The special delicate taste of wheat, which serves as the basis for semolina, made it possible to use it for the preparation of festive dishes. Ordinary people such croup was not available at all. And those who had the opportunity to eat it, ate it and sweet, and with onion frying, and with meat, and with vegetables.

A modern slow cooker allows you to reproduce the classic recipes of a dish that was called "manna from heaven" in Russia. It maintains a similar temperature regime, eliminating the boiling of the mass. A double boiler simmers the product in the same way as they languish it in antique stoves. That is why the taste of grains is fully revealed, and their nutritional value is preserved.

It is only important to know a few subtleties of the dish.

• Manka is extremely boisterous. To get a thick consistency, you can use a glass of cereal with 6 glasses of liquid. At the same time, you should eat the dish immediately after cooking, otherwise it will become too thick. For a liquid consistency that is optimal for baby food, add up to 8 glasses of milk per glass of cereal.
• Milk porridge can "run away". Usually this happens if a large volume is being prepared in the multicooker. To prevent "escape", it is enough to grease the bowl with a piece of butter. Make it a “rim” above the mass level by 5 cm.
• Mix the ingredients thoroughly. It is important that no lumps appear in the mass. Use a plastic spatula to maintain bowl coverage.
• Cook porridge with milkif you plan to give it to children over two years of age and adults. For babies from one year to two, it is advisable to breed milk with water in equal proportions. For babies up to a year, semolina is not used in the diet.
• As a side dish for meat, cook porridge on the water. You can add salt, pepper to it.
• Use the Milk Porridge Mode. If there is none, the “Pilaf”, “Rice”, “Porridge” modes will do. They have a cooking temperature of 90 °.
• Cooking time is 20 minutes.. If multicooker modes offer a longer period, simply open the lid after 20 minutes and mix the mass. Porridge will be ready. It is not necessary to overexpose it, since useful substances will begin to break down in it, and protein and gluten form the very unloved film on the surface.
• Use pasteurized or boiled milk, especially if you cook milk porridge in a slow cooker for a child. These modes do not increase the boiling point, so the "raw" milk in the porridge will remain that way.
