The prototype of all crock-pots was cookers, more precisely, rice cookers, more known in Asia. By the way, many people still use these devices wonderfully. In our country, it was precisely the “miracle pots” that were able to not only cook the porridge, but also bake the cake, and the “boil” soup — crock-pots — were widely used. We can safely say that the engineers realized the dream that was formed in the heads of mankind hundreds of years ago, described more than once in fairy tales about a magic pot that cooks porridge by itself.
All this is lyrics, and in life any rice, millet or the simplest milk buckwheat porridge in a slow cooker will always turn out to be ideal. The unit of each brand is equipped with special cooking programs. Some have units that divide menus into dairy and plain, into rice or buckwheat. A given program is able to adjust the cooking process exclusively for the characteristics of the products in the bowl. But believe me, there will be no difference whether it is cooked buckwheat porridge in the Redmond, Panasonic multicooker, or, say, Mulinex, since absolutely every manufacturer has tried to equip their unit with a regime that perfectly prepares cereals.
So, consider the simplest recipe - buckwheat milk porridge in a slow cooker. The washed cereal is placed in the container in a ratio of 2: 1 (for one part of the cereal, two parts of milk). Add salt and sugar to your taste. Then turn on the necessary mode that matches the type of your manufacturer and that's it, wait a few minutes, and enjoy the zetas.
Standard proportions can be easily changed. For example, buckwheat milk porridge in a slow cooker will turn out to be more boiled and soft if you add more liquid. This option is suitable in cases where friability of porridge is not a plus.
If you make changes in the quality of the liquid, you will get the opportunity to cook two dishes at once. So, buckwheat milk porridge in a slow cooker will turn out no worse if you boil the cereal initially in water and then add heavy cream (in extreme cases, condensed milk will do, but then sugar is not needed). Be sure to do this while the cereal is hot, it absorbs creamy aroma well. Divide the cooked cereal into two parts: in one with the addition of cream you will have sweet porridge, and in the other side dish to the cutlet or to the meat stew.
Buckwheat porridge in a slow cooker, the recipe of which we will tell you later, is based on a military field cuisine menu. Tasty and satisfying, and cooked instantly. So, in the “frying” or “baking” mode (depending on the model), fry finely chopped onions until soft, then add one part of the washed cereal and pour in three parts of hot water. Add high-quality stewed pork (stew), salt, bay leaf and a slice of butter. It is worth noting that all recipes with buckwheat are simply delicious with butter. You definitely will not ruin this porridge. Switch the unit to the "quenching" mode for an hour. And enjoy your meal.
Enjoy this product systematically, because buckwheat is rich in vitamins and divinely tasty. Is this a reason to cook it more often?
