In the multi-cooker beloved by all Russian housewives, dumplings can be boiled, stewed, fried, baked and steamed. Any of the listed methods can be found in this section; recipes for dumplings in a slow cooker with step-by-step photos will help even beginners cope with cooking.

For any of the dishes you will need ready-made dumplings, either store-bought or homemade. And they can also have any filling: meat, vegetable, fish, mushroom.

The easiest way is cooking. Due to the convenient design of the multicooker, it happens much faster. Moreover, both on water and steamed, it doesn’t matter. Everything is the same as with the stove: the water must boil. Salt and spices must be added to it. The dumplings are added last and cooked with the lid closed for eight to twelve minutes.

Dumplings are fried in a slow cooker the same way as in a frying pan, there is no difference. The lid is usually not closed. Stewing and baking is a different story. In the first case, all products, including additional ones, are placed in the bowl at the same time. But in some recipes they can be used separately. Pour in the sauce and simmer in the appropriate mode for as long as indicated in the instructions.

Baking dumplings in a slow cooker is also crazy simple. The bowl can be greased with oil so that food does not stick to either the bottom or the walls. Place the dumplings in one row, close to each other. Pour in the filling, it can just be sour cream or cream mixed with water. The liquid should not be much higher than the dumplings, just cover them. Salt and pepper everything. Sprinkle generously with grated cheese. Close the lid and set to the “Baking” program for 20 minutes. The time is approximate, because it will be different for all types of multicookers.
