Baked milk in a slow cooker

The content of the article:

Milk products were constantly needed due to their beneficial properties and taste. In childhood, for example, they made up about 50% of the baby’s total diet, being the main source of calcium for the body. As adults, people stop consuming milk in such quantities. It's hard to cut out lactose completely because it's found in so many foods.

Baked milk is a common drink in Slavic cuisine. The milk product earned its popularity in ancient years due to its long shelf life. Unlike whole or boiled milk, this milk is stored much longer, and in the old days there were no refrigerators.

Baked milk in a slow cooker is prepared by applying high temperatures to it. After prolonged heating, the product acquires a caramel-coffee taste and aftertaste. Its beige color and pleasant smell can return almost all adults to childhood. In its finished form, it is either used in cooking for the production of fermented baked milk, custards and varenets, or simply drunk. The peculiarities of the drink include its ability to quench both hunger and thirst forever.

Pros and cons of consuming baked milk

Like any product, baked milk has beneficial and harmful characteristics.

The advantages of baked milk in a slow cooker include the large amount of vitamins contained in the product:

phosphorus and vitamin (low-molecular organic compound of relatively simple structure, necessary for all living things) A - these 2 components stimulate the renewal of blood (the internal environment of the human and animal body) and nerve (an animal organ that serves to transmit important information for the body to the brain) cells, they also prevent vision deterioration;
calcium – the principle of consumption is the same as in childhood – strengthening bones;
vitamin (low molecular weight organic compound of relatively simple structure, essential for all living things) C – the substance is responsible for improving immunity and fighting certain viruses;
vitamin (a low-molecular organic compound of relatively simple structure, necessary for all living things) E - a component that helps normalize hormonal levels.

We must not forget about some disadvantages of baked milk:

high calorie content - a certain percentage of water evaporates when boiled, and then heated for a long time. Because of this, the size is miniaturized, the density of the drink increases;
allergies - milk products themselves are a powerful allergen; it is not recommended to consume baked milk for those who are intolerant to lactose and the special protein contained in the drink;
harmful bacteria and toxic substances - the product is kept at a warm temperature for a long time. Such an environment is favorable for the development of certain viruses.

Baked milk in a slow cooker

In Rus' and other Slavic countries, baked milk was prepared in an oven. The process took a long time. At first, milk was heated for a long time in clay pots, after which it was left in them for a day. The principle is boiling, then cooling.

Nowadays, there is an industrial production of baked milk.

The cooking method is unremarkable:

pasteurization of milk;
boiling at 100 degrees (for 3 hours);
stirring to avoid the formation of protein and fat accumulations;
cooling to 40 degrees and stirring simultaneously.

Afterwards the drink is poured into containers. This completes the industrial manufacturing process. The taste may differ from what it was before. Therefore, there is often a desire to create baked milk at home in a slow cooker. The development of technology makes it possible to create this without any problems and in the shortest amount of time. Baked milk in a slow cooker does not consume huge resources.

The list of ingredients includes one component:

cow's milk (1 or 2 liters).

Step-by-step manufacturing recipe:

First you need to pour the liquid into the multicooker saucepan. Milk may escape during cooking, so you need to cover the bowl with a steaming insert.
The saucepan is inserted into the device itself, and the stewing mode is selected. The time is set depending on the amount of milk. If the product is 1 liter, then 4 hours, if 2 liters, then 5 hours.
You need to watch the cooking for the initial 30 minutes to avoid boiling over. Afterwards, the milk again remains in the stewing mode for an hour.
As a result, after this time you can still see the drink boiling slightly.
After 4 or 5 hours, about 20% of the original size evaporates.
A compacted film is created on the water. Most often it is simply thrown away, but some people like it and eat it.
The milk is strained to remove any accumulations of protein and fat. A strong crust forms on the bottom of the pan. You should get rid of it right away.
The result should be the most authentic baked milk with the appropriate appearance and taste, which almost everyone loves so much.

Baked milk in a slow cooker

Mon, December 22, 2014

Baked milk, a breathtakingly necessary and tasty product, can now be purchased without any problems in almost any store. Previously, milk was constantly heated in villages - it languished in the oven for quite a long time, and in the end the resulting drink tasted divine.

I would like to offer you, lovers and connoisseurs of this delicious product, to prepare baked milk in a slow cooker at home. In reality, the process itself is straightforward and very simple, and the result will pleasantly surprise you. I have a Scarlett SC-411 multicooker, device power 700 W, bowl size 4 liters.

By the way, you can not only consume baked milk prepared in a slow cooker in its pure form, but also use it in recipes for porridges for children, fragrant homemade baked goods (for example, thin pancakes) and other savory dishes. You can also simply create fermented baked milk from baked milk in a slow cooker at home.

Ingredients:

Making a dish step by step:

So, the recipe for this delicious drink contains only 1 ingredient - cow's milk. It can rightfully be said that the higher the fat content of the initial product, the tastier and more aromatic the baked milk in a slow cooker will be. I usually buy store-bought milk, which has a fat content of 3.7%.

Pour milk into the multicooker bowl. Naturally, you can use 2 liters (I do this often), but it is better to prepare another portion of the freshest one.

Cover the saucepan with an insert for steaming food. This is necessary so that when boiling the milk does not escape. During heat treatment, the liquid with foam will rise specifically to this insert, and not higher. If you still want to protect yourself from milk boiling over, you can additionally grease the inside of the bowl with a strip of butter (just above the milk level).

We insert the saucepan with milk into the multicooker and select the Stewing mode. I set the time to 5 hours, but in reality, 4 hours is completely enough for 1 liter. If you cook 2 liters of baked milk in a slow cooker, set it for 5 hours.

For the first half hour, you need to watch the milk, opening the lid from time to time to avoid it boiling over. Then close the lid and cook the milk in the Stewing mode. Look how it behaves after an hour of simmering - you can see a not very powerful boil.

After 4 hours, from 1 liter of milk we got exactly 800 ml of baked milk. A thick film of creamy color has formed on top of the milk - it is removed and thrown away (by the way, some people love to eat it). We filter the baked milk itself - a compacted crust appears on the bottom of the bowl, which simply comes away from the saucepan.

Baked milk at home comes out unusually fragrant, tasty and healthy. Try it too!

A great taste can be achieved if at the beginning of heating you add 2 g of vanilla per 1 liter of water to the milk. Baked milk can be not only a ready-made independent dish, but also a starting base. If, after production, add 2 tbsp to the size purchased from this recipe. l. sour cream, after a few hours you can enjoy the most delicious kefir.

If in a multicooker designed for 3-4 liters you need to create a larger size of baked milk than suggested in the recipe, it is better to do this in two batches. The fact is that for the proper process of heating water, a free area is needed.

When heated, milk protein foams greatly, as a result of which the product greatly increases in volume. If there is no free space, milk may simply spill out of the multicooker. Naturally, this will not lead to it burning and the appearance of a nasty aroma, as happens when cooking on the stove, but you will still have to spend time and effort washing off the consequences.

In order to prevent anything from “escaping” during the manufacturing process, this baked milk recipe uses a steamer bowl, which is installed above the multicooker bowl. There is also another method to avoid this problem. You can add a little water to the milk - 20 g per 1 liter. But in this case, the drink may turn out to be somewhat liquid.

Like all other dairy products, despite long-term heat treatment, baked milk needs proper storage. Immediately after cooling, it must be put in the refrigerator and stored for no more than 5 days.

Depending on what goals are being pursued, you can choose full-fat or low-fat milk. So, if you want to get a great taste, or raw materials from which you later plan to make fermented baked milk, kefir, cocktail or cream, it is better to use the 3.2% option. If you want to enjoy baked milk and at the same time do less harm to your health or figure, milk with a fat content of 2.5% is more suitable.

How to cook baked milk in a slow cooker

A very common and necessary drink that can be prepared at home without much effort is baked milk. There are several methods for making it at home: in the oven, on the stove, in a thermos. But the most common and easiest of them is to cook it in a modern miracle of technology: a slow cooker. You will learn how to create baked milk in a multicooker from Polaris, Redmond and other brands from this article. But first, a little information about the necessary properties of this delicious drink.

Baked milk: benefits and harms

Everyone understands that baked milk is very healthy. The usefulness of the drink is justified by its composition. The fats it contains increase its nutritional characteristics, which is essential for children during the period of their active growth, and for women carrying a baby. The drink is also rich in antioxidants, organic acids, various vitamins, amino acids and microelements, including iron, calcium and others.

How to create baked milk in a slow cooker: a recipe at home

You can prepare baked milk at home using any multicooker (Polaris, Redmond, Delfa, Panasonic and others) that has a “stewing” mode.

If your multicooker does not have a “stew” mode, use the “multi-cook” mode.

To make this tasty and healthy drink at home, we need only one product - milk. It can be taken in any quantity. But it does not have to exceed half the size of the multicooker bowl.

For example: if a multicooker has a capacity of 5 liters, the permissible amount of milk that can be poured in first and cooked at one time is 2.5 liters, maximum 3.

Pour milk into the multicooker bowl.

2 fingers higher, run butter around the bowl in a circle. This is necessary so that during boiling the milk does not run out of the multicooker bowl.

But we won’t trust the oil line, and we’ll put a steaming grid in the multicooker bowl. If there is this mesh, then the milk will literally not escape from the container.

We put it in the “quenching” mode for 2.5-3 hours. And then leave it in heating mode for another 1 hour.

Usually the output of baked milk is 2 times less than the amount that you poured into the bowl at the beginning.

That's it, the drink of amazingly beautiful cream color is ready. You can serve it to the table! We are convinced that your efforts will be appreciated by both adults and children. After all, the prepared product is necessary and tasty, and most importantly, prepared at home with love.
