Semolina porridge in a slow cooker with milk

While doctors are debating the benefits or harms of semolina porridge, for almost all children and adults it is their favorite breakfast porridge. How to cook semolina porridge with milk using the usual method on the stove is no secret to anyone, let's talk about making it using a multicooker.

Semolina porridge in a slow cooker with milk

(do not use this manufacturing method for a pressure cooker or under pressure)

Honestly, I tried to cook semolina porridge in a slow cooker a couple of times and it didn’t work out. The result is a dense semolina pancake that is difficult to stir. It turns out that there is a little secret in making semolina porridge without lumps using this particular method. Semolina porridge in a multicooker (Panasonic, Polaris or Redmond without pressure) does not come out homogeneous if you cook it only with milk and if you cook it with the “Milk porridge” program. Apparently, this program is not for decoys.

Semolina porridge in milk with added water tastes no worse, and if your model has a delayed start in this mode, then the recipe is just a godsend for lovers of semolina porridge - malashka.

Ingredients:

Semolina – 0.5 multi cups,
Milk – 3 multi glasses,
Water – 1 multi glass,
Sugar - to taste (2-3 tablespoons),
Salt - to taste
Butter – 50 g.

Manufacturing process:

Pour semolina with sugar and salt into the multicooker bowl.

Pour milk and add water.
Use a piece of butter to create an oil rim along the walls of the multi-cooker saucepan; all that remains is to add to the semolina with milk in the bowl.

In the Panasonic multicooker, the time that can be set on the “quenching” program is 1 hour, so after 30 minutes it is necessary to turn it off forcibly. Another disadvantage of this model for us is that the timer (delayed start) can only be used for programs on the left side of the multicooker panel.

While stewing, you can open the lid a couple of times and stir the semolina porridge with a silicone spatula. Since this program works on the principle of a slow cooker, the semolina porridge did not show any signs of “escape” from the slow cooker.

Naturally, I completely forgot about “stir a couple of times,” but the photo shows that my semolina porridge is completely free of lumps. If you need the most watery semolina porridge, I recommend taking one tablespoon less of the cereal than in the recipe above, or increasing the amount of water by 1-2 multi-cups. Usually on weekdays I have milk porridge on a delayed start, and I have this semolina with milk as a weekend porridge. While everyone is waking up and washing, the multicooker will cook delicious semolina for you for breakfast.

And something special should be said about semolina porridge. This is exactly the dish that accompanies a person throughout his entire life, starting virtually from the moment of birth. Well, who among us did not eat such porridge as a child? And although at the moment almost all specialists say that it brings little usefulness, it still shouldn’t be discounted.

Children over 1 year old can prepare semolina porridge.

Let's look at the option of making milk semolina porridge in a slow cooker step by step. If your multicooker has a power of 860 W (like mine), then this recipe is suitable for you, regardless of the manufacturer’s brand.

How to cook semolina porridge in a slow cooker - recipe with photo:

1. Prepare everything for semolina porridge: semolina, sugar, butter, milk and water.

Semolina absorbs a lot of water, so the ratio of semolina to water is 1 to 7 (or even 1 to 8).

2. Add semolina and sweet sand. Using a spatula, mix the dry ingredients well until smooth. This will help avoid lumps during cooking.

3. Pour the required amount of milk into the multicooker and add a piece of butter. If your baby is still quite small, we recommend diluting the milk with water as in our recipe. Well, for older children and adult family members, you can cook porridge with whole milk.

4. In the Polaris 0517 multicooker (and in any other one that has a “multi-cook”), turn on the “Multi-cook” program. Temperature - 90 g, time - 20 minutes. Then we go about our business in a relaxed manner.

For other models of multicookers (Redmond, Polaris, Panasonic, Philips) where there is no multicooker, we set the “milk porridge” mode. We change the production time manually to 20 minutes. This will be enough for the head.

With the smallest amount of cereal, production time is further reduced.

5. After a certain time, the delicious milky semolina porridge in the slow cooker will be ready. Right after opening the lid it looks like this. It seems that there is a lot of water, but we do not rush to conclusions.

6. Stir the semolina porridge with a spoon and see the thickness suitable for baby food. And not a single lump!

7. Divide the porridge into bowls and enjoy breakfast with the whole family.

It's no secret that almost all kids are not very fond of semolina porridge. And often all this is projected into adulthood. Try to cook milk semolina porridge in a slow cooker, and you will see with what pleasure your family will gobble it up.

Porridge prepared using this method has a delicate taste and pleasant thickness. Your kids will literally love it!

And choosing a specific multicooker will free you from a huge number of hassles associated with its manufacture.

Salt must be added without fail. This spice perfectly emphasizes the taste of sweet dishes, making it more nuanced and captivating. Without salt, semolina will be very ordinary and slightly sweet.

It is worth using low-fat milk in this recipe so that you can add more butter later.

You can't spoil porridge with oil - this is just this option. The secret of semolina is that it is not the milk itself that gives the dish its beloved creamy taste, but specifically the butter. Specifically because, in order not to go overboard with calories, you should cook the porridge with low-fat milk, so that later you can add more butter.

How to store porridge

The highlight of semolina lies in its delicate texture and pleasant smell, which reveals itself when warm. Cooled porridge will no longer taste as great. Therefore, it is better to prepare this dish in portions, just before serving. If you still couldn’t eat the whole size, you can put the semolina in the refrigerator in a container with a tightly closed lid.

Individual selection of ingredients / Substitution of ingredients

In addition to the correct percentage of fat content in milk, it is worth paying attention to one more very important parameter. This is the presence of lactose in its composition. Some people cannot digest this component normally, as a result of which they have to give up consuming such a tasty dish as semolina. In order not to harm your health and feed your guests with fragrant porridge, you can use lactose-free milk. It costs slightly more, but this replacement does not affect the taste in any way.

It is worth giving preference to premium semolina with minimal flour inclusions. Semolina grains should be of a similar color and size. Before adding it to a dish, it is worth checking the bulk component visually for the absence of food aphids, which often like to settle in similar products. To prepare semolina porridge adequately, you need to use only high-quality raw materials.

This ordinary dish will acquire an unusual taste if, instead of butter, Italian mascarpone cheese is used as one of its components. The most delicate porridge will simply melt in your mouth, delivering true pleasure. In this case, it is important not to overdo it with sugar in order to achieve restraint and elegance in the combination of flavors.

Porridge will become a cool children's treat if you replace a piece of butter with a few cubes of milk chocolate. Children will literally be delighted with this treat!
