Cooking features

The technique for preparing corn porridge in a multicooker is different from cooking in a saucepan. The main principle of the process is simplicity. No need to stir and worry that the porridge will burn. This won't happen in a smart Panasonic pressure cooker or Philips! You do not need to simmer it for a long time before evaporating or crush it finely to boil it down faster. Intelligent modes of the unit will do the responsible work for you.

Here are a few subtleties of cooking.

• Use the "Porridge" mode. Each unit has its own. For example, the Vitek multicooker cooks cereals in 50 minutes, and Redmond in an hour. There are models with a cooking time of up to 2 hours. We recommend that you adhere to this time. The fact is that the period for cooking porridge in them is clearly regulated. Initially, the unit heats up the contents to 100 degrees, then lowers the temperature and simmers the gruel at 90 degrees. At the end of cooking, he can completely turn off the ten (for example, this is what the Polaris multicooker does), wait a little until the contents evaporate, and only then give a signal. During the time thought out by the manufacturer, the cereal goes through several stages of processing, and the porridge turns out to be ideal.
• "Multipovar" will allow you to reduce the time. If your machine has this function, you can reduce the cooking time. Corn porridge in a multicooker will turn out crumbly if you initially steam it in the "Groats" mode for 25 minutes. And then in the "Multipovar" mode with high temperature at 150 ° 10 minutes. This technique will provide the groats with softness and the porridge with a loose consistency.
• Add liquid according to the required consistency. For a side dish, you need a loose, crumbly porridge. To get it, you need to use 3 glasses of water. For milk dish for breakfast, especially for a child, more liquid consistency, a messy gruel. This allows you to get 4 glasses of liquid.
• Do not leave the dish heated. If the manufacturer does not indicate this for a specific model of the multicooker, leave ready-made porridge after the signal does not follow. The peculiarity of corn grits is that it thickens quickly. Even if you add enough liquid after only standing for an hour, the porridge can turn into a thick lump. So put it on the plates as soon as it's ready.

A number of models of multicooker offer the "Milk porridge" mode. He prepares the dish quickly - in 30 minutes. In a double boiler, this time is enough for medium boiling of corn grits, that is, the grains will remain tough. This consistency is not suitable for babies, so for them it is advisable to grind the cereal in a coffee grinder to flour. You can also stand the milk porridge in a slow cooker for 15 minutes on heating.

If you grew up in countryside or visited your grandmother in the village for the summer, you probably remember the charming smell of freshly boiled corn. Simpler dishes not to find, but how delicious! It's just a pity, it is almost impossible to find fresh corn, with the exception of the summer period. But do not be upset about this, because you can also cook a lot of delicious and healthy dishes... In general, if you remember history, corn is considered one of the most ancient plants cultivated by man. They began to cultivate it, according to various sources, from 7 to 12 thousand years ago in the territory where modern Mexico is now located. It was corn that served as the impetus for the development of the Mayan and Aztec civilizations, and in our time it is also of great importance.

Well, okay, let's leave the story to the scientists, and get back to cooking ourselves. As I said, there are a great variety of corn dishes, and in many cuisines of the world. ... Despite the simplicity of preparation, milky corn porridge in a multicooker is different pleasant aroma, great taste and, besides, it is quite useful.

If you are thinking about how to diversify baby food or watch your own figure, the best way difficult to imagine, because along with the fact that corn porridge is rich in vitamins and microelements, it is also easily digestible, in particular, due to the fact that it is cooked on. And owners of multicooker can now cook this healthy porridge, without worrying that it will burn, because, unlike cooking on the stove, you do not need to stand over it, control the process and at the same time constantly stir. Personally, I am also captivated by the fact that freshly boiled corn porridge with milk in a multicooker turns out to be tender and sunny, and in taste and consistency is somewhat reminiscent of semolina porridge.

However, there are some nuances in the preparation of corn porridge, even if you cook it in a slow cooker, and this should be taken into account. Corn grits quite quickly begins to absorb liquid during cooking, and requires a lot of it, therefore the most optimal ratio of cereal and liquid is 1 to 5 or 1 to 6. Just observing such proportions will help to avoid burning, the appearance of lumps and eliminate the need to interfere with the contents of the bowl while cooking. Another recommendation is that the cereal should be poured with liquid, and not vice versa, moreover, it (the liquid) should be cold, then stir and then set to cook. And now let's move on from words to deeds.

Cooking method

1. 
   Of course, the first step is to prepare everything. necessary products, namely, cereals, milk, sugar, salt and butter.
2. 
   I pour the corn grits into the multicooker bowl.

   I don’t grease the bottom and walls of the bowl of my multicooker, but if, despite all my arguments that nothing will burn, you still doubt, then you can play it safe and grease the surface of the bowl with butter. If for cooking porridge you chose not finely ground cereals, like me, then rinse it first.

3. 
   The time has come to add salt and sugar to the cereals.
4. 
   Now I pour everything with cold milk and mix well.

   If you cook porridge on homemade milk, that is, it makes sense to dilute it with water, but today I have store milk and the percentage of fat in it is small, so I leave everything as it is. The model of the multicooker that I have at my disposal (PHILIPS HD3077 / 40) is equipped with the "porridge" program - I will use it to cook milk corn porridge in the multicooker. The program starts on its own with a set time of 2 hours, but after 30 minutes I put the multicooker in the “heating” mode (keeping warm), in which the porridge reaches for another half an hour (here you can stir the contents of the bowl).

5. 
   If suddenly the consistency of the porridge seems to you liquid, then leave it for another 20-30 minutes in this mode - during this time it will thicken. Everything, healthy and tasty milk corn porridge in a slow cooker is ready.

   Before serving, I season it with butter and put it on plates.

Notes: if you decide to grease the walls of the multicooker with butter, then it is better to combine the cereals with milk in separate dishes, and only then pour into the bowl and start the program. If you carefully monitor your figure, then you can reduce the calorie content of porridge by diluting milk with water, excluding or reducing the amount of sugar and butter. So that the porridge does not seem bland, add honey to it.
