Cook cereals in a slow cooker. Questions and answers. (Panasonic SR-TMH 18)

[Tashunya]

Tashunya, the proportion of buckwheat: water - 1: 1.5, the proportion of rice: water - 1: 2. Nothing burns. So I always cook in a simple saucepan and in a cartoon.

No, nevertheless, I understand that Tashuni's cartoon could have broken, because I think that it was not the first time she cooked in it, and apparently everything was in order earlier - both with the proportions, and with the cooking time and only now malfunctions began to occur and food burned.

Well, yes, everything was in order before, I also pour more water on purpose, so that later in a blender I grind it for the child. And yesterday and today she cooks and cooks everything, yesterday we walked, and today the child was asleep, I closed the door (the signal is really loud, and even 6 times, for the deaf, probably) and sit quietly for myself, then I go to the kitchen to feed the child, and she cooks everything, and did not think to go into heating mode, but after all 2 hours have passed and of course everything burned out.

Wait, is that like 1 in 1.5? 1 their measuring cup of buckwheat and only 1.5 water? I pour about 500 ml of water into half of their measuring cup of buckwheat, and if I want liquid water for a child, then one and a half liter jars of water. And for all cereals, it's true, though I always cook a half-size cup, otherwise the two of us and I won't eat again, we are still small

Tashunya, program Buckwheat programmed cook until THOSE while there is liquid. Maybe you turned off manually before, but now you have gone for a walk, so it was boiled as programmed?
And you probably cooked another liquid porridge (not buckwheat) on Milk porridge? Anyway, she cooks no more than an hour (or so), at least pour three liters.

No, she always left for a walk, came, and the cartoon stood in the heating mode and the time was counted 1H or it happened 2H

Countdown in heating mode? So this is not a Heating mode, but a different one. And in buckwheat, the countdown turns on only for the last 9 minutes, in my opinion ..

1H and 2H is the heating mode countdown. One hour has passed on heating, shows 1H, 2 hours have passed - 2H.

Girls, I apologize for the confusion. Since the morning I don't see anything on the display)

And for all cereals, it’s true, I always cook a half-size cup, otherwise the two of us together will not eat more, we are still small

Have you read the instructions for the Buckwheat program? In this program the water is evaporated and after all the water has evaporated, the program is deactivated.
You are cooking something like a soup, buckwheat. And on stewing, they did not try to cook this way, with the setting of the time - try, maybe the cartoon is working. He simply cannot understand you.

Yes, Tashunya, you understood everything correctly. If you cook buckwheat for a side dish (buckwheat program), then take 1.5 glasses of water for 1 stack of buckwheat. If you need boiled water, then 2 glasses of water.Do you have a big cartoon or 2.5 liters? It's just that if it's large, then less than 2 cups of buckwheat is not recommended to cook, I really cooked from 1 cup, everything is fine, but 1/2 cup is clearly not enough. For example, my granddaughter loves buckwheat porridge cooked in water (as written above), and then diluted with boiled milk and a little sugar there.

For example, my granddaughter loves buckwheat porridge cooked in water (as written above), and then diluted with boiled milk and a little sugar there.

And my children (and I too) love it so much - I always cook ordinary crumbly buckwheat in water without salt, and then whoever wants to eat it like "salty" porridge, adding soy sauce to their plate, and who wants sweet and liquid porridge - heat milk (with sugar) and dilute buckwheat right on the plate. Very simple and delicious. Moreover, porridge can be cooked in the morning and it is great all day long, and to heat milk for 1-2 portions is a matter of minutes. And everything turns out fresh, and quickly.

Today I again cooked buckwheat (1 measuring cup for 1.5 half-liter cans of water), everything is fine, the cartoon went into heating mode (when, I don’t know, they were walking), although the buckwheat was still burnt. I can't understand, if I pour more water than according to the instructions and the cartoon is programmed to cook until the water runs out, then why does it burn ??? I have a 4 liter saucepan, but I can’t cook more than half a maximum of 1 measuring cup, not throw it away later. And I also put the eggplant oven in the Plov program, after 15 minutes the program ended, turned it on again - the same way. Then she poured a little water and pressed the timer, which showed 1.5 N and then cooked like that. Who has a roof - me or multi?

For myself, for example, I can find a logical explanation for the behavior of your cartoon.
From improper use of the multicooker, the program gets lost. She does the right thing when she turns off with eggplants on Plov after 15 minutes - the Plov program is not intended for baking eggplants. Naturally, it turns off as soon as moisture runs out in the aubergines. Bake them in the Bake program. And in the case of a large amount of water and sticking to it for another reason, the roof is moving - the program is designed for a certain time, during this time it MUST evaporate all the water according to the program, but does not have time to evaporate your amount of water - and begins to evaporate it very hard to meet the deadline, which apparently leads to overheating, program failure and sticking. If you use a large amount of water for a small amount of cereals, then you need to set the Milk porridge program - there the program is not configured to evaporate liquid and the multi program will not go astray. The multicooker is certainly a very smart saucepan, but you still want more from it than is included in the programs.

So I read that the girls baked potatoes in the PLOV mode and it turned out well, or potatoes are allowed, but eggplants are not allowed? Today I will try to cook buckwheat exactly according to the instructions, we will eat for a week, what can you do :-)

I don’t understand in any way why you don’t want to cook porridge-spread on the Milk porridge mode, which is just intended for cooking such cereals (there, according to the recipes, there is a similar ratio of cereals and liquid).
And the Buckwheat mode is for cooking crumbly porridge, and not necessarily only buckwheat, and for rice it is good, and for barley.By the way, according to the instructions for the multicooker, the minimum portion of porridge in the Buckwheat mode is 2 cups (multicooker) cereals. This is for a large multicooker. I, until the second small one, cooked for 1 cup, but then it is better to turn it off early (I personally like it more).

Today I again cooked buckwheat (1 measuring cup for 1.5 half-liter cans of water), everything is fine, the cartoon went into heating mode (when, I don’t know, they were walking), although the buckwheat was still burnt. I can't understand, if I pour more water than according to the instructions and the cartoon is programmed to cook until the water runs out, then why does it burn ???

Tashunya,
IMHO, the multicooker still requires certain rules to be followed, since the device, let's say, is not quite simple.
You ignore at least two of them.
On the "Buckwheat" mode you
1.take 1 cup of cereal (in the instructions, page 7, the minimum of buckwheat is 2 glasses for a large cartoon)
2. you take water several times more than recommended in the instructions.
That is, you are breaking 2 important points and at the same time asking what is wrong? There is also electronics, and I think it just blows away from your amateur performances.

and most importantly, why torture a valuable device with the risk of breaking it, if there are 2 suitable modes for the author's tasks - Milk Porridge and Stewing ?!

Yesterday I cooked buckwheat according to the given proportion. 53 minutes and everything is OK. Thank you girls !!! How nice to hear that the roof went on for me, and not for the multi, I would not have survived if it was covered. Without her, as without hands. And I am beginning to be tormented by vague doubts that I used to cook buckwheat and rice on the milk porridge program, everything was fine

Hey everyone!
I cook in the cartoon since Thursday, everything is very tasty, less time-consuming. But yesterday (or rather, already this morning) an incident happened - I put corn porridge in the evening so that it would be ready by morning, and when we got up - the whole table was filled with milk, there was a complete "explosion" in the pot. grains Before that, milk porridge turned out fine, every morning they pampered themselves. What happened this time, is there any suggestion? Even now, it's a bit dumb to put it on cooking overnight ...

What happened this time, are there any suggestions? Even now, it's a bit dumb to put it on cooking overnight ...

Couldn't you have turned on the wrong program? Milk does not run away on "milk porridge", I have never seen such examples. It can curl up, but it is

No, I didn't mix it up, it was on milk porridge and I put it ... She herself is at a loss why this happened, because she cooked for a couple of servings. When I opened it, there was a feeling that the milk was boiling very much, as a result, it rose to the lid, clogged the valve with porridge and as a result, the milk began to run out further, as when cooking on the stove.

There have been reports of oatmeal foaming, but not always. We found out that it depends on the cereal itself (it may be processed with something). I think the same thing happened with corn grits.

[milka80]

milka80, and you take the plug out of the network every time? Maybe her brains were hanging and something went wrong?

Yes, I always take it out. Plus, it's brand new ...

There have been reports of oatmeal foaming, but not always.We found out that it depends on the cereal itself (it may be processed with something). I think the same thing happened with corn grits.

I am inclined to your version, probably it's the cereal - I can't find other explanations ... I used to cook it in a double boiler, but there was free access to the steam outlet, so I didn't foam much. And here ... I wonder if it is possible to control the preparation of porridge? Well, like, somewhere in the middle of cooking, open and stir?

And here ... I wonder if it is possible to control the preparation of porridge? Well, like, somewhere in the middle of cooking, open and stir?

According to the instructions on the three automatic programs that are located on the left of the scoreboard, it is impossible. From experience of use, it is possible, but not desirable! On other programs you can.

I wonder if it is possible to control the preparation of porridge? Well, like, somewhere in the middle of cooking, open and stir?

For porridge, it is better to use long-boiled oatmeal, it does not creep.

While cooking porridge, I open the lid for a short time once to prevent it. Nothing terrible happens with this. I just don't like the fact that it burns down a little.

In order to see how much time remains until the end of the automatic program, in this case MILK PORSE, after selecting the program, press the TIMER button once. The display will show 1H and the time will count down immediately after pressing START. There is no delay in this case. You will understand this, because immediately after starting the program the TIMER button will go out and the START button will light up. T. about. the duration of the program, as written in the instructions, is 1 hour.

I still adore my cartoon, it is not idle for me, but I stopped cooking rice in it. It tastes better on the stove. Although I follow your discussion with great interest, I do not believe that anything can be achieved here. But still success!

When I need to cook loose rice on the stove, I rinse it very well so that the water is absolutely transparent, pour it with boiling water 2 to 1, and when the water boils, I turn it off, cover it tightly and wrap it with a towel. The rice comes by itself, the water is absorbed and it is always crumbly.
Maybe on this principle and try in the cartoon? Pour boiling water over, boil for just a couple of minutes in steaming or baking mode, transfer to heating and wait.

The salt in this recipe is added to the finished rice.
And if the rice is for a side dish, you can lightly fry it in a multitool before cooking, you can side it with onions (to taste + carrots). Then you can add salt and sprinkle with spices before pouring boiling water. Frying even the most nutritious rice in oil helps to make it more plump.

I put porridge on the timer. In the morning, the entire valve and lid are in porridge. You have to carry the whole pot to the sink to wash the lid. Has anyone encountered this? What could be wrong?

After all the torment with cooking rice, I returned to write in this topic that rice is the best according to the recipe, where you have to turn it off after 20 minutes.
My final version: 300 ml. round rice (not Krasnodar, ordinary), 450 ml. water, buckwheat mode 20 minutes, turn off, stir, eat immediately.

For half a year now, I’m probably happy with the multicooker. Immediately went to cheer milk porridge for breakfast (with a delayed start). Then, one day, when I woke up in the morning, I discovered that the rice was NOT cooked AT ALL. Well, I gave up on this business, although I periodically use the "milk porridge" mode and everything works. But now I missed porridge and decided to cook it again for breakfast. So what? Uncooked rice again. What's the problem? Who faced this? What could be the reason?

If, after setting the time on the timer, you definitely do not forget to press the START button, then we can assume that the cartoon could and simply break. While the item is under warranty, maybe it is worth checking it in the workshop?

Is the rice not cooked at all, or just a little undercooked?

The cartoon works, cooks other cereals normally.

Is the rice not cooked at all, or just a little undercooked?

He was half-baked. My husband makes assumptions that all the same because of the rice, such as another variety you need to buy and try. Although I used to prepare normally. In pilaf, too, it turns out, and in the "Buckwheat porridge" mode everything is OK. I'll try round rice one of these days, then unsubscribe

[milka80]

milka80 , and what portion of milk porridge do you cook?

[milka80]

milka80Round varieties are well suited for rice porridge. I usually cook Japonika or Arborio from Mistral.

+1 I take Krasnodar round, no problem at all!

but I do not like round, only long and steamed - they are perfectly boiled, even digested, it happens

Really round rice boils well and that is why it is recommended for milk porridge. If you still have to cook long-grain rice, then you can cheat a little, provided that you put the porridge on the timer. If you are going to eat porridge at 8 o'clock, then you need to set the timer so that it is ready at 7 and stood on the heating for another hour. Even the most harmful rice has time to finish.

I agree with Mams, I also find milk porridge tastier with round rice. And you don't have golden rice by any chance, that one, too, no matter how much you cook it, it’s still not cooked.

Tell me please - what will happen if you put pearl barley porridge not on the Buckwheat mode, but on Stewing, how long to expose and what taste will it turn out?
And the same question - if you put milk porridge for stewing?
Share your experience

Because I made barley - in a small cartoon, half a cartoon glass of 80 grams of porridge poured 300 grams of water, and everyone fell asleep, after 4 or 5 hours they opened it, the taste was very cool, the barley turned out like fried and baked, I liked it, but the methods of how to get more are interesting wet porridge.

In a large cartoon I made twice as much - 160 g of pearl barley + 600 g of water
it turned out a little wetter

7. Pearl barley and buckwheat porridge (side dish) by Admin
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=983.0

Yes, I also cooked rice in a slow cooker, according to the instructions ("milk porridge"). cooked perfectly, but why did it take so long? something around an hour ... on the stove in 20 minutes the same, only it burns a little, and you need to watch it until it boils ...

And I usually soak rice, that is, I wash it first in hot water (until transparent), then in warm water, then in cold water (as long as time allows, well, not more than an hour or two if I forget)
Usually I do it in a deep frying pan (boiled rice or "pilaf" type), but in the cartoon I think in the "pilaf" mode it will be faster than on "milk porridge" and the main thing is not to open immediately after the peak and not interfere, I usually open the lid of rice 15-30 minutes after turning off any heating. Then any rice is usually crumbly.

so crumbly! and I cook round, as for sushi.

so crumbly! and I cook round, as for sushi.

but I always get crumbly from a round! , this is for sushi just contriving to make a mess
I don't like long Indian taste only if the sea of ​​spices and smack are interrupted by them

Hello everyone.
My invention is rice porridge (pilaf) with zucchini.
At the bottom of the multicooker grows a little. butter, diced onion, grated carrots, baking mode, so that it grabs. Mix the washed rice with oil and vegetables and put frozen zucchini, diced into cubes, on top. Extinguishing mode. When the zucchini is thawed, mix everything, add spices (bay leaf, salt, etc.) and leave on the "Pilaf" mode.
In the summer, so many zucchini have grown - we simply cannot eat so much, and in winter we want to - but no way. I just cleaned them, cut them and froze them, now I add them wherever possible. They are very juicy and stew them - there will be soup. And rice absorbs liquid well. So I came up with such a dietary symbiosis.

Porridge made from rice and zucchini can be made sweet and in milk. Zucchini in this sense is a very plastic product.
