I tried to cook again today
milk porridge, and failed again.
I bought 10-minute flakes.
I fell asleep 1.5 m / st. flakes, plus 6 m / glasses of liquid (4 milk, 2 water). On the "Milk porridge" mode I cooked for 10 minutes.
The pressure got up normally, the regime ended, the pressure was released.
I lift the lid - the same trouble as with quick-cooked cereals: porridge below, milk on top. I mixed it - I understand that the porridge is undercooked. I put it on for another 5 minutes. The pressure builds up quickly and the cooking is over. The pressure relief went. It dropped to 20. I waited, waited ...
But ... It was high time to feed the child, and I decided that I could help a little by forcibly opening the valve. I pressed the button, steam began to come out. 5 seconds, the flight is normal. I was already delighted, and then milk foam came out of the valve ...
The valve clogged, and almost stopped releasing the pressure on its own ...
In general, I have done myself a job. Today washing the lid gave me a special, incomparable pleasure ...
Repeatedly recalled the kind words of the designers who made the cover removable. I can imagine how I would have had to sweat to wash it on the bracket ...
If there are kettles like me: DO NOT RELEASE THE PRESSURE WHEN BREWING MILK AND FOAMING DISHES !!! By waiting 5-10 minutes for the pressure cooker to release the pressure on its own, save yourself an hour at least washing and cleaning the lid with all its holes ...
In general, even after the repeated "additional cooking" the porridge turned out to be undercooked, the cereal felt damp.
Please teach me what I'm doing wrong?
The Operation Manual says about this on page 10.
Advice:
You can gradually stabilize the pressure. That is, press the "reset
pressure "gradually. The escaping steam will be less intense.
If, at the end of the cooking process, you deactivate the "Preheat" function and
wait a few minutes, the contents of the multicooker-pressure cooker will start
cool down, while the pressure will gradually decrease. And when you press
pressure release button, the steam will be much less.
We recommend in this way to reduce the pressure when cooking vegetables, milk cereals,
various cereals and foaming products.
I let it down, only slightly pressing the button, but, apparently, 20 kPa is still too much pressure, and the milk foam went through the valves.
Or gradually - is it intermittently: pressed and released?
In general, in any case, in my life I will not relieve pressure in any way when cooking porridge. Just wait until the cover is unlocked.
By the way, manufacturers generally do not recommend cooking in the Milk porridge mode oatmeal milk porridge (page 11 instructions).
I read about this before buying it by downloading the instructions. But I asked the experts - they told me that everything is boiled, and everything is fine.
So the main thing is this

That is, do not press the pressure release button IMMEDIATELY. And wait a little, the porridge will begin to cool down and the pressure will drop. And then there will be no fountain when the remaining pressure is released.
Well, I waited ... The pressure dropped from 40 to 20 ...
In general, now I'd rather wait ... The quieter you go, the further you will be ...
What mode did you cook on? Milk porridge is 30 kPa. Did you increase the pressure yourself?
No, I left the pressure by default, 30. I was wrong here, I apologize.
The first thing that confused me. these are proportions. We recommend that for cooking milk porridge using cereals, take a ratio of 1: 5, but when cooking flakes - 1: 6.
According to your message, I did not understand what kind of porridge you still cooked, either from flakes (indicated in the ingredients), or from cereals (you write "the cereal felt damp")? You need to figure it out in order to understand why there was not enough cooking time and the porridge was not cooked.
Yes, your milk "started running" due to the forced release of pressure. But, there are cases, especially in multicooker, that after replacing milk (from another manufacturer), cooking takes place without unpleasant surprises.
I found such proportions in I-net recipes for some kind of pressure cooker-multicooker, it seems, to Redmond.
I cooked flakes. Forgive me what she called cereal. In fact, cereal - there is, of course, flattened cereal, but, definitely, I agree that there is a huge difference. In general - flakes.
It turns out that there is not enough liquid: my proportions were 1: 4?
But, on the other hand, after the first 10 minutes of cooking, and after the additional 5 liquids, there was, on the contrary, a lot: that is, the flakes did not absorb all of it, they just lay in a dense lump on the bottom, and there was milk on top.
Mode - milk porridge.
Lisizina, you need to use Hercules for a long time from 15 minutes (according to the instructions). It is a yellowish crimped grain. That oatmeal that white flakes are not good. Maybe that's why he was crushed at the bottom. Semolina also cakes.
Here I cooked https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=279455.0 Hercules.
Oh, Elena, thank you, I took your proportions !!! ))
Here are just the longest-lasting flakes that I found in our "Crossroads" (supermarket, they say) were 10 minutes ...
Do you think there is no chance of cooking like that?
If you just try to experiment in Manual mode. As Chuchelka advised at 95 degrees. The time may take 30-40 minutes. Long enough for quick flakes, but you can try.
I cooked oatmeal porridge on the Milk porridge program, proportions 1: 5 (only milk in half with water), I blew off the pressure at the end myself, nothing escaped, the porridge is wonderful
I also did not get oatmeal twice (long-term cooking, as Elena Bo advised) in a pressure cooker, cooked on the stove, for my family a very big disappointment is a minus
But the meat, always excellent and quickly comes out, in the stewing mode - and this is a plus
