Multicooker has appeared relatively recently, but for many housewives they have already become indispensable helpers in the kitchen. A wonderful pot that he cooks himself can replace a double boiler, a duck, and a saucepan, and in some cases even a pressure cooker.
Instructions
Step 1
The multicooker is universal. You can cook, stew, fry, steam in it. A number of models have a multi-cook function that allows you to manually set the cooking time and temperature. In most cases, housewives use built-in programs, the number of which depends on the cost of the device. Another undoubted advantage is its compactness. In the kitchen, the multicooker does not take up much space, but it successfully replaces the stove. You can take the multicooker with you if you are going to relax, for example, in the country. With its help, you can prepare tasty and healthy meals wherever there is an outlet.
Step 2
Dishes in a slow cooker are prepared quickly enough. It is also important that in most cases the ingredients can be simply put in a bowl, set a certain program, close the lid and go about your business. The multicooker will prepare food itself, and will notify you of the end of work with a sound signal. Many devices have a delayed start function. Milk and cereals can be put into a bowl in the evening, set a timer, and enjoy freshly prepared porridge in the morning.
Step 3
Food from a multicooker is healthier and tastier than one cooked in a saucepan or skillet. Since the bowls of the multicooker have a special coating, the food does not burn. If that happens, you're out of luck. You may have purchased a device with a low-quality bowl. When cooking, almost no oil is required, which means that the content of carcinogens in food is minimal. Since most of the cooking process takes place under a closed lid, the aroma of the food is retained in the dish.
Step 4
Multicooker is safe. Manufacturers claim that even children can use them. If you use the multicooker correctly, then the probability of getting burned is very small (compared to the stove).
Step 5
Good quality multicooker is quite expensive. Manufacturers often overstate the price by adding unnecessary programs that are practically unused by the hostesses. But not only the number of functions affects the cost of the device. This parameter is determined by the volume of the bowl, the material from which it is made, the applied coating. Cheap slow cookers often break down and the dishes cooked in them are disappointing. If you decide to purchase this kitchen assistant, choose the appropriate model, familiarize yourself with its characteristics, read reviews on the Internet, consult with friends.
Step 6
It is believed that Teflon coating is harmful to human health. Experts have long established that this is not entirely true. Teflon pans and baking trays, as well as multicooker bowls become dangerous only in one case: if the integrity of the coating is broken. In order for the multicooker to serve you for a long time and not become a threat to your health, take proper care of it: use wooden or silicone spatulas to stir the cooking dish, wash the bowl with a soft sponge without using abrasive agents.
