How to cook at home like in a slow cooker. Multicooker Recipes
A slow cooker is a salvation for a tired mother who has just come home from work, and then there is dinner, and the next morning - breakfast. But almost no one knows what to do with it. We asked culinary expert Olesya Buryan-Tseytlin to choose several recipes that you can cook in a slow cooker for the whole family every day.
Breakfast
The simplest and most obvious thing is to cook porridge in a slow cooker. Toss everything in the evening and place it on plates in the morning. But many people worry about milk spoiling overnight. There are several ways out of this situation:
Boil the porridge in water, and in the morning add a little cream, stir and place on plates.
Throw a couple of ice cubes into the bowl along with milk, cereal and spices. They will gradually melt, keeping the milk cool until the cooking process begins.
Use plant-based milk that will not sour without refrigeration.
Rice porridge with coconut milk
For two servings:
1 measuring cup short grain rice
3 measuring cups coconut milk
1 tbsp. sugar (optional)
¼ tsp. salt.
Pour washed rice into the bowl, pour in coconut milk, add sugar, salt, turn on the “milk porridge” program, set the timer to delay cooking.
In the morning, stir the porridge, add a little milk if you like it thinner, and place on plates. You can sprinkle coconut flakes, nuts, berries on top, pour honey or silane on top.
Omelette
It turns out airy, fluffy, evenly fried, and most importantly, there is no need to guard it, and you can calmly take a shower at this time.
The omelet can be anything. From the simplest - from eggs, milk and salt - to the complex - from everything that was found in the refrigerator. But, for example, an omelette with peas and cheese:
50 ml milk
30 g frozen green peas
30 g grated cheese
Salt to taste
Olive oil for frying
Turn on the multicooker to the “Frying” mode for 15 minutes or “Baking” mode for 20 minutes.
While the bowl is heating, beat the eggs with the milk and salt with a fork.
Pour some oil into the multicooker bowl. Remove peas from freezer.
Pour the milk-egg mixture into a bowl, sprinkle the peas evenly, sprinkle cheese on top, close the lid and feel free to go to the shower or do other things. The multicooker will notify you when the omelet is ready.
If you don’t keep grated cheese in the refrigerator, you can put a few slices on top - this will also melt perfectly.
You can add something left over from dinner to this omelet. Roasted vegetables, pieces of chicken or fish, or even roast beef.
Dinner
If you have never cooked broth in a slow cooker, then I strongly recommend correcting this misunderstanding. Here the process is no different from the usual. Place all the ingredients for the broth in a bowl, add salt and select the desired mode. If your unit does not have a “broth” or “soup” function, then “stewing” is perfect.
Borsch
It’s different, of course, but we like it so much that I don’t cook it the traditional way anymore.
For 2 liters:
¼ small head of cabbage
1 carrot
1 medium potato
300 g beef
2 small or 1 medium beets
100g tomato paste
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt and spices to taste.
Place the meat, cut into pieces, into the multicooker bowl.
Shred the cabbage, cut the potatoes, grate the carrots and also put them in the slow cooker.
Peel the beets and add WHOLELY to the rest of the vegetables.
Pour water over the meat and vegetables, add a little salt and set to cook on the “Soup” setting. If your multicooker offers to set the cooking time, then set it to 40 minutes.
Cooking time will greatly depend on the size of the beets, how you cut the meat, and the model of your slow cooker. Therefore, the first couple of times you will have to look closely to find the best option.
After cooking is complete, open the lid, check the readiness of the meat and pierce the beets. If everything is ready, proceed to the next step; if not, then let the soup cook for another 10-20 minutes.
Remove the finished beets from the soup and let cool to a temperature at which you can grate them on a coarse grater. It is better to keep the multicooker lid closed at this time.
Return the grated beets to the soup and add lemon juice to fix the color.
Season the soup with tomato paste and salt to taste. And set the timer for another 10 minutes in the “cooking”, “soup” or “stewing” mode.
This is my family's basic recipe and can always be adapted to suit your tastes. Add onion, pepper, and at the end season with hot pepper, garlic and herbs. Instead of lemon juice, use vinegar or omit beets altogether and cook cabbage soup.
The main secret of any soup in a slow cooker is that at the end you need to season it well with spices to taste. Then it will be bright and rich. As much as you want.
Vegetable soup
1 small onion (you can use a leek)
1 carrot
1 potato
½ bell pepper
½ small zucchini
1 large tomato
1 clove of garlic
1 stalk of celery
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and spices to taste
In general, all the vegetables that are in the refrigerator go into this soup. You can add mushrooms, eggplant, cauliflower.
Cut all the vegetables into small cubes, crush the garlic clove with the flat side of the knife blade.
Heat olive oil in the multicooker bowl on the “frying” mode (timer 15 minutes).
Fry the carrots for 2 minutes, add the bell pepper and celery, after another 2 minutes add the onion and garlic clove. Fry, stirring until the onion is soft.
Add tomato, salt and fry a little more.
Pour boiling water or hot broth over the “frying”, add potatoes, zucchini, cauliflower, mushrooms, or replace all this with lentils.
Turn on the “soup” mode and set the timer for 20 minutes.
Season the finished soup with salt and spices to taste. Remove the garlic clove.
For adults, I usually season this soup with a mixture of herbs, garlic, chili, salt, oil and a small amount of wine vinegar, ground in a blender.
Dinner
I could write about slow cooker dinners forever. But I won't. I’ll just show you what I cook most often, when I have to run in the morning, and in the evening I definitely and immediately feed everyone.
Stewed chicken
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 onion
1 carrot
1 clove of garlic
1 can of peeled tomatoes, sliced in their own juice
1 tsp Sahara
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. oregano or thyme
800 g chicken drumsticks without skin.
Heat olive oil in a slow cooker. (“frying” 10 minutes)
Cut the carrots into half rings and add to the bowl.
Cut the onion into small cubes and add to the carrots. Mix.
Crush the garlic clove and fry with everything else.
Add salt, oregano, pour in tomatoes. Add sugar and stir.
Place the drumsticks in the tomato sauce and put on the “stew” mode for 40 minutes.
You can cook fish this way, but it will take 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the piece, and it is better to simmer beef or lamb for about an hour. It will be very tasty with eggplants instead of meat. As usual, the spices and composition of vegetables can be changed to suit your own taste.
If your children prefer more neutral meat, then you can prepare something like “stew”.
1 kg beef
300 g onion
4 tbsp. olive oil
Allspice, bay leaf or other spices to taste.
½ tsp. salt
Heat the oil on the “frying” mode (timer 10 minutes).
Cut the onion into half rings and fry until soft
Add large pieces of meat, salt, spices and fry a little.
Close the lid of the multicooker and set it to “stew” mode. Depending on the power of your unit, the process will take from 1 to 2 hours.
In a version for adults, before stewing, you can pour half a glass of red wine into this dish, throw in a couple of cloves of garlic, thyme or rosemary and even a little smoked bacon. Delicious with a mixture of brown and wild rice.
Dessert
Casseroles in a slow cooker turn out great. Be sure to try your favorite oven option, adjusting the time a little, and I'm sure you'll be pleased.
Brownies are also great in the slow cooker. Especially often now I make coconut
100 g butter
100 g dark chocolate
50 g coconut flakes
180 g sugar
Melt the chocolate and butter in a water bath or in the microwave.
Mix eggs with sugar until smooth. Add coconut flakes.
Pour the butter-chocolate mixture into the dough and stir.
Add flour, stir until smooth.
Pour the dough into the multicooker bowl and set the “baking” mode for 40 minutes.
Cool the finished brownie, if, of course, you have time :) It’s easier to remove it from the mold cold, but it’s very difficult to resist the temptation to try it immediately.
This recipe is designed for a 2 liter multicooker bowl. If you have a larger model, it is better to make a double portion of the dough and increase the cooking time to an hour.

They were bought for home, at the dacha, as a gift for a birthday, anniversary, wedding, birth of a baby, housewarming, etc. But time passed, and the excitement began to subside. Of course, many have appreciated multicookers and now cannot imagine life without it. But there were also those who did not like the “miracle pot” or did not like it. Someone “played enough”, someone was unlucky with the model, and the owner was disappointed in the multicooker as a concept, and someone simply did not understand it, considering this device too complicated. And in vain. Because a good multicooker is very easy to use and indispensable in the household. So, if you recently bought a multicooker or haven’t figured out how to use it, or are simply planning to buy this kitchen assistant, let’s figure out why a multicooker is good and how to cook in it.
1. Where to start?
2. Will she do everything herself?
3. What dishes to cook?
4. Which program should I choose?
5. What if you need to prepare it in advance?
6. How to wash and care?
7. Where can I get recipes?
1 Where to begin?
Ideally, before using it for the first time, you should read its instructions. This way you will understand what functions your multicooker has (and I’m not just talking about programs), what each of them is for, and how to use this device correctly.
Some multicookers have a short user manual right in the recipe book, which is very convenient. And there you can also find detailed step-by-step instructions for using a multicooker using the example of each specific program - in this case, there is no need to keep both a recipe book and instructions on hand.
It is better to install the multicooker in such a way that there is at least 20 cm of free space around it. And it is better not to install the multicooker under wall cabinets, otherwise steam from the valve may damage the kitchen furniture.
Before using it for the first time, be sure to remove all stickers and films from the multicooker, wash the inner bowl and boil water in it. After this, drain the water, wipe the inner lid, and you can start cooking.
2 Will she do everything herself?
The multicooker has become so popular precisely because you can put the necessary products in it, select the desired program, and it will cook breakfast, lunch or dinner itself. There is no need to constantly stir and control - you can go about your business.
But if you wish, you can always open the lid and intervene in the cooking process - add some ingredient, mix the ingredients, or just taste the dish.
For example, if you decide to cook soup, you can put meat and vegetables in the multicooker bowl, pour in water and, having set the desired program and cooking time, completely entrust the cooking to the multicooker.
Or you can first cook the broth in a slow cooker, then add some vegetables to it, then others (different vegetables may have different cooking times), then spices, etc. At the same time, you will still free up your time, since you will not have to constantly stand over the pan, making sure that your soup does not boil over.
When monitoring the process of cooking in a multicooker, be very careful - first open the lid, and then carefully look into the bowl if necessary. If your multicooker bowl does not have handles, use oven mitts to remove it.
3 What dishes to cook?
The multicooker got its name not by chance - “multi” means that the device is multifunctional, i.e. prepares a wide variety of dishes. Indeed, it can easily cook porridge, soup, broth, boil rice, buckwheat or other cereals, dumplings, vegetables, make stew, roast or any other stew, omelet, casserole, bake a pie or cupcake, prepare yogurt, healthy steamed dishes, pizza , jellied meat, compote, fry meat, fish, cutlets... in general, all its possibilities cannot be listed!
Therefore, I recommend that all housewives have a multicooker at home. Yes, you may not cook every dish in it, but cooking porridge or making a fluffy omelette in the morning, rice and buckwheat as a side dish, or, for example, stewing meat, is certainly best with the help of this gadget.
4 Which program should I choose?
The names of the multicooker programs speak for themselves. Each model has its own number of programs, and there is no point in considering absolutely all variations in this article. The main thing is to remember that the program is named either by the type of dish (“porridge”, “soup”, “baked goods”, “jellied meat”, “drinks”, etc.) or by the method of preparation (“fry”, “bake” , “stew”, “cook”, “steam”, etc.).
If your multicooker has a “reheat” program, use it to reheat a previously prepared dish.
Each multicooker program has its own time and temperature settings, and it is extremely important that these programs are well adjusted. A multicooker with temperature and time settings that are optimal for a specific type of dish or a specific cooking method is the guarantee that your porridge, roast or soup will not burn or boil over and will turn out the way you like it.
How can I find out the time and temperature settings for each program? This information can be read in the instructions. And some models also have this information in the recipe book, which is certainly very convenient. In addition, the recipe book may also contain a brief description of each program - what dishes it allows you to cook (if you are just thinking about purchasing, pay attention to models with such books).
Do you want to set the cooking time and temperature yourself? Use the “multi-cook” program - almost all multi-cookers of the latest generation have it.
If you usually cook dishes in several stages, for example, fry pieces of meat before stewing, then you should choose a multicooker with the function of setting up programs in stages. In this case, you do not have to first turn on the “fry” program and then “simmer” - you immediately set up the stages with the required temperature and time (for example, 15 minutes at 160°C and 2 hours at 90°C), and the multicooker will switch to at the right stage, which is very convenient.
Some multicookers have a function that allows you to remember your favorite settings in addition to the programmed ones. For example, if you liked meat cooked in a slow cooker at a temperature of 120°C for 2 hours, you simply press the desired button, and the device will remember this program.
5 What if you need to prepare it in advance?
A multicooker is also convenient because it allows you to prepare dishes at a specific time - in this case, use the delay start timer. You just need to put all the ingredients in the multicooker bowl, select the desired program, set the time and temperature (if required and the program allows), set the delay start time, and the multicooker will cook everything again by itself.
Have you prepared a dish in advance, but your family is in no hurry to come to the table? Use the heating function (not to be confused with the “warm up” program! The heating button is usually located separately, outside the display with programs) - after the end of the program, the multicooker will keep the dish hot for as long as you need.
In modern models, the “heating” function can be turned off before cooking begins - in this case, after the end of the program, the multicooker will simply go into standby mode.
6 How to wash and care?
When dealing with a multicooker, look in the instructions or recipe book to see if the bowl can be washed in the dishwasher - this will make it easier to use.
After using the multicooker, always wipe the inner lid with a damp cloth. If the inner lid is removable or the entire lid is removed completely, even better. In this case, simply wash it under the tap.
Make sure that no ingredients fall/spill into the space between the multicooker bowl and its body - they can get on the heating element and cause an unpleasant odor.
Wipe the multicooker body with a damp cloth after each use.
Handle the multicooker bowl with care - for example, if it falls or gets hit hard, it may be damaged (the likelihood of damage is less if you have a high-quality multicooker from a well-known brand).
Avoid using metal spoons or spatulas to stir food as they may damage the finish of the bowl. Of course, the coating of the bowl can also be different - for example, models with an ultra-durable nanoceramic coating have a much lower risk of deep scratches and damage than models with a conventional coating.
7 Where can I get recipes?
Each multicooker comes with a recipe book, which allows you to understand what dishes can be prepared and how. Recipe books for multicookers from different manufacturers certainly differ - in some the cooking process is described in detail, in others more briefly. The books of some models contain culinary tips, tricks and tips, which, among other things, will help diversify your usual dishes. You can also find quite a few recipes on the Internet, but you can adapt your favorite family recipes for the slow cooker, as well as experiment.
