Having bought a slow cooker, everyone is in anticipation of something special. So many reviews and tips have been received and studied, it seems that you have been able to use it for a long time, but ... Is it that simple as they say? Let's use the
Pilau mode, which is standard for some models
(Panasonic SR TMH18 or 10
multicooker ) and prepare an old Asian dish.
In principle, using the capabilities of these units, it is easy to cook. But not everything is so simple, there are pitfalls here. They are concluded as products. You must admit that it is not possible to cook pilaf with chicken and beef according to the same program, due to the fact that the cooking time for these types of meat is different, as a result, there are those who are disappointed. Also, there are those who did not think about which type of rice to take, but this nuance is also important, it should be taken into account. Based on the foregoing and starting from the experience of buyers, we can conclude that, using the right program, you can cook the perfect pilaf in a Panasonic multicooker only if you take chicken, pork (neck or kidney), and some types of fish. Rice is better to take steamed in combination with water 1: 3. In other options, you are unable to use the embedded program. Have to cook, combining several modes, or "enjoy" overcooked rice and undercooked meat.
We offer several recipes for dishes that can be cooked precisely in the "Pilaf" mode in the Panasonic multicooker.
At the bottom of the saucepan, pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil, spread the chopped onion and large carrots cut into small cubes. Put the head of garlic, previously washed, but not peeled. Finish the process by laying out 500 grams of chicken (not breast!), Two measured glasses of rice ("Basmati", for example). Fill everything with three glasses of cold water. To complete, you need to salt and add spices. You can take the finished mixture, or you can just pour a teaspoon of turmeric, a little cumin and barberry, coriander and black pepper. Close and turn on.
