Let's crack it while the saucepan is cooking ?!

in principle, I was very satisfied with my version,

Thank you so much !
You should try this. I'm not a porridge fan. But from the slow I eat with pleasure

You should try this. I'm not a porridge fan.

Ol, if not a lover of cereals, then you just need to decide on the proportions. Read information about pearl barley. As with rice, buckwheat .. the ratio of water and cereals. Then there will be a smudge, and "grain to grain".

So I was not an amateur until slow. And now, on the contrary, she began to love porridge and it was smears.

This is what the life-giving forum does ..

[gawala]

gawala, Yeah

[Galina]

Galina, Galya! Tell me about barley porridge
Ahh, you already told. Sorri and merci!

pearl barley

I thought there was a photo, but it turned out not. Then she remembered what she had done and got sick. There was no time for the photo ..

[Galina]

Galina, Gal, but in my opinion there was a photo.
I wanted to cook and forgot. eh
It was about a month ago, I think ...

but in my opinion there was a photo.

Not .. it was rice from Mirra ..

I wanted to cook and forgot.

Let's crack it while the saucepan is cooking ?! # 1494

[Lelka]

Lelka, Here I am). An ambush with porridges). The first course was a beef stew à la goulash.



Galina, I also have a 3.5 kitty idle. He's straight forward. Sooooo slow. Need to get used to it.

Not .. it was rice from Mirra ..

What kind of rice are we talking about?)

Dear slow-brewers! Merry Christmas to all of you!
We are visiting, everything is on the stove, there is nothing to boast about
But I brought baked beets here, ate salad

Beetroot salad with brie cheese (Arka)

Highly recommend!

What kind of rice are we talking about?)

About the one who has half a cup of water and half a cup of rice and frozen vegetables ..
By the way, about this recipe, not a recipe, but very good .. Today I decided to make such rice, with only some frozen vegetables .. But I took mixed rice. There are remains of a round, some kind of long one. Well, in general, I loaded everything, everything like Miirra you taught, half a cup of rice, half a cup of water, a cup of frozen vegetables .. And suddenly the command “Get the horses!” An hour passed, as I put it on HAY. I open it, the round one is almost ready, long raw, half-raw vegetables. In general, I throw in more vegetables, add a little water, transfer for 4 hours to Low and "on horses" ... We returned in about 2.5 hours. I open the lid, and there ... and then there is risotto ..
It turned out so real .. Joy knew no bounds. I had a great dinner with boiled red fish.
Later I read from Mirra that Bastami is boiled into trash .. so I have it mixed with a round one, which is boiled for the risotto ..
Mirra, thank you for the way of cooking rice and for information about it. Very useful information.

[Galina]

Galina, Gal, did you add minced meat? Only vegetables and rice?
I want to try this recipe one more time after a failure! And I don’t know which side to approach it.
The question is for everyone, if all the products, namely meat, onions, mushrooms and potatoes, are lightly fried and put in a slow sauce, in this case some kind of liquid should be added or not necessary?

and did not add minced meat? Only vegetables and rice?

And I didn't have minced meat. Yeah, only rice and vegetables, the mixture is called French, it is with mushrooms.

The question is for everyone, if all the products, namely meat, onions, mushrooms and potatoes, are lightly fried and put in a slow sauce, in this case some kind of liquid should be added or not necessary?

Vic, I think that if you put on Lowe, then the liquid will not be needed.And I would not fry the potatoes, they will be so tasty and even slightly brown in the edges. If you are afraid that it will burn, then throw a couple of tablespoons of water and it will be fine.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, I add. If such a set. Still, the pot is not airtight, not a multicooker-pressure cooker. Now, if there is no sauce (sour cream, tomato, etc.) or vegetables are more juicy (tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, apples ...), then I either do not add at all (if there is a more or less significant amount of vegetables) or a couple three tablespoons of broth / water.
My pots are not fried, somehow they are not very baked, and when cooking for a long time they dry them on top, so I try to simmer in sauce. It tastes better to me.

[Galina]

Galina, and show?)



Galina, Oh really). Embarrassed). It's all Jim and his rice ideas). I'm only a liaison here).
You should try with a round one. Mine love risotto! Just think that there is nothing to bungle in the slow. And here again the challenge). Risotto!
I have a cheese soup with vegetables in my crayon today. (Mine eat baked belly. Marinated and cooked the marinade and everything in a baking bag and in the oven). Attaching photo.



There is also a sauce for them. Lord, I'm ashamed to say, but I added cheese to the soup (Three large tablespoons), I don't know what to call it. An appetizer like that. A lot of cheese of different sorts, a couple of boiled eggs and mayonnaise (quite a bit. I planned to make balls. But I was so tired that I forgot about them, and now I'm sorry to throw them away. I'm thinking of adding them to double-baked potatoes). Everything was crushed in the processor. Not on a grater. More cheese mass.
Before curd and blender.


After curd and blender.


In the soup: white cabbage, mushrooms (oyster mushrooms), cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, carrots, onions, and cheesy garlic wonders. + paprika and salt. I didn't purée too much. I wanted to feel what to eat.
Someone will say, but why interrupt ?! This is the kind of soup I love.

and show?)

Eaten .. long ago .. And there was no time. I didn't have time to do it, we left. We did not have time to arrive, we left. I overkulled on the way and ran on.

[Galina]

Galina, nope. New slow motion!

nope. New slow motion!

Ah .. well, who about what ..
I'll take a picture now .. wait ..

I'll take a picture now

beautiful

[Galina]

Galinawhat a glossy unit). Krasunya! ❤️

what a glossy aggregate

This is stainless steel. Inside aluminum.

[Galina]

Galina, aluminum bowl?

aluminum bowl?

Yes, of course, aluminum, but outside it is stainless steel.

Departing from the topic. We bought a kärcher SC 5 EasyFix Premium yesterday. Who is thinking about buying, then I can say with confidence, take it! I don't know who writes negative reviews. We washed the seams of the porcelain stoneware! Kitchen facades. The fat goes off with a bang.

kärcher

The price was impressive. But it's worth it.
We have a semi-industrial Karcher. But the thing of course .. When we carried out heating, I do not know what they would do without it. Everything was covered in dust and brick chips ..

take a photo

Glittering beauty!

Yeah, beautiful, polished, the bowl is good,
Why we have Breville only kettles, and toasters if we want slow cookers.

aluminum bowl?

Mirra, BASE inside is aluminum, outside is polished stainless steel.
The bowl is ceramic, like our slow-moving ones.

[Galina]

Galina, and what is yours? I am delighted with ours. Yes. Price(.



Oksana, aaaaa, then bombay!

[Oksana]

Oksana, but they are not better than yours! I also have Breville, only 4.5 liters. In general, not bad, but sometimes too fast.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel,
Vika, I want to go to the store and choose a slow cooker from several different models from different manufacturers.




PS Fast cooks tastier, tested on personal experience.

What is yours?

Breville,

Girls and boys
Tell me who has the most voluminous slows? K-211 the most budgetary and affordable? Is there really 8L? Are there real users?
Thanks in advance!!!

[Natalia]

Natalia, like u Olga 61 there is.

Good morning! I have 211, maybe there are 8 liters, but it is still not recommended to pour a full one. Today, during the day, I will try to measure and report. He's busy right now, hot from the night until he gets cold and unloads.

Who has the most voluminous slows?

I have a kenwood 6.5 l. It has been working for a long time, it seems, since 2010, but if it were 8 liters, it would not be superfluous at all.
I often load the entire volume, to the top, cooks and extinguishes, mmm, the mode switch knob is a little loose. But since I only use HI - Kenwood standard slow cookers - now I just unplug to disconnect.

Tell me who has the most voluminous slows?

Electrolux ESC7400 6.8 liters. I bought it recently, use it periodically, but I'm not very used to it yet. The spouse cooks out of habit on the gas stove or in the cartoon. It does not touch the slow (it suits me 100%, the bowl will be more whole)

I often load the entire volume,

The main thing is WHAT to load to the top. I am telling a story that happened to me. I had accumulated butter, not in condition, something I didn't like to taste, something by smell, it lay in the freezer. I decided to melt it and make ghee. And a "smart" thought came to me, so as not to drive the slow twice, I'll fill it all at once, up to the grooves on which the lid lies. It melted, everything is fine, but at the moment of boiling, I, as luck would have it, left the kitchen. All the slow came, the table under it, and the floor next to it was covered in foam. Straight on Zadornov "planning error"

[sara fan]

sara fan,
In a big topic there was a post about a hololitsa in Kenwood 6.5 l
The hostess loaded up a lot of food, filled it with water, turned on Hai more than 2/3 of the bowl and went to bed. At night I woke up from the smell, oily foam rose, hit the base, around the table ...
shorter than washing by half a night

Yes, Oksana, I read and remembered, but "my own rake is the pinkest" ...

I'll fill it all in one go, up to the grooves on which the lid lies.

not necessary to grooves))
When I write "to the top" it doesn’t mean yes most the edges of the bowl, "cuffs" around the edges of the bowl - are not included in the usable volume, as in any pot.
Maximum 2-3 cm not vertically reaching the edge of the bowl wall. And if slowcooking does not keep the temperature 100 *, then, of course, you need to give a place for boiling.
This is to look at your unit.

I'm not trying to persuade anyone to cook a full bowl, I just write about how I cook. And I do not scoff at those who cook in an incomplete bowl.
I don't think everyone's kenwoods are hotter than standard.
this is not correct kenwood I have never had this, mmm. The pea broth almost does not foam, no, it should not be in the kenwoods, boiling for uplifting foam so high.
..........
Now many have hotter Kitforth - and the topics about them are separate, and not general.

but it seemed to me that we were discussing everything here

In a big topic there was a post about a hololitsa in Kenwood 6.5 l
The hostess loaded a lot of food, filled it with water, turned on Hai higher than 2/3 of the bowl

It seems that everyone has their own experience of stepping on a rake ...)) I did not see this message, but I was also sure that

kenwoods standard slow cookers

Before the new year I cooked jellied meat in a large 6.5 L Kena, the water turned out about 1 cm below the edge, I closed the lid. I ran away to High! (((But not much, I was nearby, I managed to turn it off. I went to Lowe with the lid off.

He ran away to High! (((

This is to look at your unit.

there is apparently no single solid standard in any line of units.
And the voltage in the network in different cities and towns, it turns out, is also not stable.
And so, of course, making 5 liters in a 6.5 liter bowl is more than 3 liters in a 4.5 liter bowl

For the New Year, I gave my slow cookers a surge protector, because neighbors began to complain that the lights were flashing at night,

[about surge protectors]

about surge protectors

as the men write in the comments under the rollers - the best protection is not to overload one outlet with several devices, especially our ubiquitous "Soviet" electrical wiring

Measured Kitfort 211, empty bowl weight 4 kg 200 gr. I put the bowl on the scale and poured water, 7 kg of water came in. 300g., This is to the very grooves (not to the top of the bowl)

I was looking for I was looking for ... Somewhere they wrote about cooking rice for a side dish. It is possible with vegetables. It even seems to be a recipe of some famous chef, and even with meat ...
Tell me, pliiiz! Every time I tell myself why I don't save it, if I liked it. Forever no time

It is possible with vegetables. It even seems to be a recipe of some famous chef, and even with meat ...
Tell me, pliiiz! Every time I tell myself why I don't save it, if I liked it. Forever no time

Mirra wrote. For a post-glass of rice, half a glass of water. can be with vegetables, can be with meat. I did. I liked it very much. only need to soak rice for an hour or two. So Mirra advised.



Today, field tests of a new slow-cooker were carried out, which is 3.5 .. Even I have the impression that it cooks at the level of the oven. after I pulled out the cake, measured the temperature, and it was in one place 209grd. in another 180 .. Why did I buy an oven?
In general, a chocolate cupcake in the Breville slow cooker.

The cupcake was still cutting hot. it turned out very tasty. Though fat, but the cupcakes probably all differ in fat .. Unsweetened, which made me happy. Chocolate. Not dry. It looks unbaked, but everything is baked perfectly. In general, it worked out very well for a start.

[gawala]

gawala,
Gal, I'm in awe, give me the recipe,
And what is the capacity of your 3.5 liters?
