[brendabaker]

brendabaker, I'll go put the compote, since I have everything ..

[gawala]

gawala,
Gal, just don't put so much sugar, it seems to me that there is a lot of it in the recipe



The author advises to put first 1 glass of sugar on washed fruits, pour cold water up to the maximum mark on the cups, cook for 1.5 hours on the STEWING program, and then leave on HEAT for 4-6 hours.
I would start cooking on HI until it boils, and then I would cook at a falling temperature, switching to HEATING

just don't put so much sugar, it seems to me that there is a lot of it in the recipe

2 tbsp. I put spoons, taking into account the fact that apricots, cherries and plums are frozen, everything is no different in sweetness ..
I put it on low at 8 o'clock. Well, conditionally at 8. Let him puff, and then in the course of the play I will see what happens there.

No, that's in vain I erected vain on my compote.
A good compote turned out, rich. Such a compote came out that, one might say, a spoon is worth it. All the berries lay down on the bottom and it drained out so easily.
The husband drank it instead of tea for breakfast.

Oksanchik, in my compote goes everything that is at hand from berries and fruits. This time, my son-in-law brought such sour grapes from his dacha that my hands combed it right back to compose.

[gawala]

gawala,
Yeah, let him puff, and I'll write off your words later

and I'll write off your words later

I will sing it for sure ..

[Rituslya]

Rituslya,
It's good that the compote is infused.
My grandmother cooked either from a renklode plum, or from apricots (I still love to break apricot pits from compote and eat the kernel).
And I like from dried fruits, as in public catering

In the summer, compote is still nothing, and the rest of the year no one will drink it, outside of tradition we have compote. The latter is in a bottle on the fridge and is not a compote, and not a chatter. But the plums in the jar wander well, probably it's time to buy a moonshine after the slow drink

[brendabaker]

Water up to the maximum mark on the bowl

brendabaker, Oksana, cold or boiling water?

The latter is in a bottle on the fridge and is not a compote, and not a chatter.

oh, and we have any cold liquid in high esteem. Navar and immediately in the refrigerator. Why drink plain water ?! Therefore, I put all fruits and berries in compote. Usually I do it in a 5-liter multicooker, but yesterday I loaded it in a slow cooker and in a multicooker. In slow motion, of course, it is richer, but more in the cartoon.
But in my Kit, at a minimum, the gurgles are not at all quiet. I put it to the eyeballs, but no, it still did not boil away and did not splash.

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,
Light, cold water



Rituslya,
Rita, the gurgles are not quiet, but the temperature is 96 ℃, we have already broken our heads over solving this phenomenon.

There is a compote on a low for 4.5 hours, but already so rich .. I added a spoonful of sugar, otherwise it’s sour .. We must try to cook from dried fruits.

[Galina]

It is necessary to try to cook from dried fruits.

Galina, and you sell as in Russia? I had a straight break in dried fruit compote for the first time. There are no them here as a class such as for compote you need

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,
We also no longer have what was sold in the market, with pears and apricots.
While my grandmother's sister was alive, they received parcels from the Old Crimea with nuts and drying for compote every year. Import drying is not that, absolutely no familiar taste

I have a quince in a slow cooker on languor. Tough as a radish. So I think maybe it can be slowed down on a low or dirty his dishes? (It started with the fact that the steel bowl was burned on induction - the sugar was burnt, well, yes, it was necessary to think of heating on induction with a small bottom,
no gurgle on top, but it's already burnt).
Although the quince seems to remain so by nature, it should be soaked in syrup ...

[gawala]

from the Old Crimea

Well, yes, I grew up on this. Childhood memories

Right now gawala, Galina, will come and comb my hair that I need to buy a dryer and do everything for the compote myself. I feel like it will happen

Do you sell it like in Russia?

Sell. I constantly send my mom. The last time Turkish apricots were sent, very good. And dried pears are sold and prunes and a mixture of dried fruits .. Well, it is clear that something else, not Central Asia, but everything is very good.

Right now gawala, Galina, will come and brush my hair that I need to buy a dryer and do everything for the compote myself. I feel like it will happen

Disguise .. I'm already here!



Compote is ready. 5 hours at the LOU. Three tablespoons of sugar, but our sugar is not sweet. Delicious. Saturated.

[gawala]

it is clear that something else, not Central Asia,

I would not be from Asia, I would, from the Crimea, or Ukraine, they know how to select mixtures there ... what color, what aroma, what taste. To get the abrikosku, split the bone, and then the nucleolus .. and devour it yourself



gawala,
Gal, how much fruit did you put on 1.5 liters? A beautiful compote came out, bright, and the infusion will be even brighter

How much fruit did you put on 1.5 liters?

But how much she swims, she put so much. Not 1.5 liters of water, less, it seems to me a liter with a little.

[Galina]

Galina, cool compote turned out! You just feel that it's great!

I, too, with compote. In the first I charged 1 apple, 1 lemon, a bit of frozen currants and a bunch of grapes. Everything to the eyeballs and to a minimum. Sugarless.
In the second pretzel frozen lamb, a few black peppercorns, onions, carrots. Also water to the eyeballs, but to the maximum. Ambassador later.

... First charged

In the second pretzel

And what about the third?

And what about the third?

And there is no third. Was, but left.

And there is no third

Omission. Need to buy..

Nooo, Galina, thanks.
I am wandering with these brothers too, and with a large number I am completely mistaken.
We must wait until the purchase of the third.

Nooo, Galina, thanks.

Yes, not at all, actually ..

A jar of apple butter from yesterday's cooking for my daughter

I loaded the ingredients for Auverne's lentil soup in China. I'll see how he handles potatoes, onions and lentils. In general, this is my favorite winter soup, I found the recipe for a long time on the website of the cook.
🔗
I took 1 liter of water, the rest, according to the recipe.
I cook at MAX, I think that 5 hours will be just right

Eh, and I have sadness, sadness, the cup in my Tonza cracked ... (((She spits like crazy, a whole chicken is baked in 2 hours, but juice leaks there, and everything is fine.
Today I decided to bake a whole head of cauliflower, not dry, a little water splashed to the bottom. And after about an hour I heard a crackling ... In general, a bowl for disposal ...
It's good that you can order a spare on Tao. Now we will have to make an order for sure.
Be careful with "hot" slows, do not leave it unattended for a long time!

cracked bowl

Oh how ..

And we got hooked on sauerkraut with duck or pork knuckle. Quarters of the duck are in my freezer and I put cabbage in a 3.5 liter slow lye on the bottom, a duck quarter on top and for 5-7 hours on a high. But the knuckle did not fit into this slow, I had to get 6 liters of Kenwood. So in it there was fried cabbage near the walls. And the cabbage with the shank turned out sour than with the duck. So now I will wash the cabbage lightly with the shank. And in the end it turns out very tasty.

And the cabbage with the shank turned out sour than with the duck.

Strange, like both are fat, what is it?
Your healthy tape measure does not fit every 3.5 times. Or is it because the bowl is round?

Strange, like both are fat, what is it?

Duck is sweeter than pork ..

[gawala]

gawala, I add so many spices to them (including sugar or honey) that this fact somehow passed by

I add so much spice to them

And I don't eat them at all. Bold.

Spices or duck? I throw away the fat, but the meat is certainly not a turkey either ...

Spices or duck

Ducks ..

And I love the duck. Today I bought 2 legs, I will also cook with sauerkraut



Anya, what spices are you adding. And honey - where?

[kirch]

kirch, honey in the marinade. Whether for a duck or a pig. Spices for mood, invariably only pepper. And so - thyme, rosemary, paprika, garam masala, ginger, garlic. In sauerkraut, of course, not all this bouquet, sometimes just pepper and lavrushka, sometimes a little thyme (I don't like it, but sometimes I want a strange exoticism).

Or is it because the bowl is round?

No, both bowls are oval. My husband just brought a knuckle 1.4 kg.
By the way, the only spice was pepper.

And there was not even a lavrushka? For what I avoid it, but in such cabbage and shank I will definitely put a little, but I will put it.

No, not even lavrushki. In the second courses, I rarely began to put it, only in broths and soups.
And I left the spices at the end of cooking, but after trying what happened, even the salt was superfluous. But sugar had to be added slightly to reduce the acid. Next time I will add, and I feel that this time will be soon. The cabbage is already souring.

All TRICKS !!!

husband brought a knuckle 1.4 kg

and where do people get such knuckles? For 100 years now I have not been able to find a cool shank anywhere ... some stumps entirely consisting of peel and bone ...

and where do people get such knuckles?

Come to us. Here is a good-shaft. Especially in neighboring Germany ..

and where do people get such knuckles?

On the market. In shops I take only in "Yes" when small knuckles are needed.

[LudMila]

LudMila,
Lyudmila, maybe it's better to buy another slow cooker HERE?
I got the impression that my OBEs from the Chinese purchase warmed more than they should. I am sure that this is due to some difference in the operation of the electrical network between us and theirs. They cheat on everyone who bought it, everyone complains that they have to turn it off without waiting for the end of the program.




And I have lentil puree soup

I am sure that this is due to some difference in the operation of the electrical network between us and theirs. They cheat on everyone who bought it, everyone complains that they have to turn it off without waiting for the end of the program.

My 1.5 liter slow-motion was bought on Ali and worked before the mode switch knob fell off very well, did not overheat for a hi. So this is not a network difference, but a lot of power for a little slow.

the mode switch knob fell off

That is, the product also turned out to be with a defect, but with a different one.

overheated on high.

How many degrees were there in yours? Keith goes up to 99.9 ℃ for a short time, and so 97 ℃ -99 ℃

I did not measure, as it was not necessary. And now she has one regime, better than those two. My husband changed something so that he could live without a mode switch, and now it is better than the old one.

[Stafa]

Stafa,
It's good that my husband connected and fixed everything
