Some useful tips
To prevent your vegetables from burning at the bottom of the multicooker, add exactly as much water, oil, or mayonnaise as your prescription requires. For the same reason, do not overdo the dish in the slow cooker. Otherwise, the vegetables will turn out dry, sometimes overcooked and not juicy.
To give the fish a peculiar piquant taste, shortly before cooking (in about a couple of hours) soak it in 500 ml of white wine or lemon juice. Remember that no one likes to eat fish with scales, so even the most beautiful and visually smooth fillet should be pre-processed with a knife. To make your fish covered with a beautiful golden crust, it is recommended to roll the pieces in flour before frying. If you intend to make a dish with sauce, for example, instead of mayonnaise, then after pouring it to the rest of the ingredients, cover the dish tightly. Such a small secret will give the fillet a special taste and will make it much juicier. But in the process of frying vegetables and fish, the lid can not be closed. It is believed that in contact with air, the crust on products forms faster. In addition, it is distinguished by a beautiful color and crunches more.
As you can see, cooking fish dishes is not only very simple, but also very useful. And surely they will be appreciated by all family members, including you. Now you know how to cook fish in a slow cooker!
