Cooking features
How to make an air-cottage cheese casserole cooked in a multicooker very tasty? To do this, you must follow certain tricks.

The created mass must be mixed in the cottage cheese and other components as accurately as possible, preferably with a spatula.
In order to make cottage cheese casserole cooked in a slow cooker airy, you can add a small amount of soda, slaked with vinegar, to the total mass.
Some recipes of this dessert include the use of berries in the cooking process. In the event that they are taken frozen, it is advisable to thaw them in advance and dry them thoroughly, allowing the water to completely drain. The resulting juice can then be used to make other desserts.
When preparing this type of dessert in a slow cooker, you need to bake the mass in the "Baking" mode, setting the time indicated in the recipe (usually about 60-80 minutes). During the preparation of dessert, the lid of the device cannot be opened, since in this case the mass will settle, as a result of which the product will not be so magnificent.
