2. Press the “start” button and wait for the signal that the saucepan has already warmed up. After the signal, we send the onions and carrots at the same time.

Mix well together. The result was a pillow of vegetables for fish. Turn off the frying mode. We spread the pieces of mackerel on top of the vegetable pillow.
