Oatmeal in a slow cooker - 7 cooking recipes

Oatmeal is one of the few grains that cooks very quickly. Some people prefer not to cook it at all, but to steam or soak it. This recipe for oatmeal cooked in a slow cooker will come in handy for all lovers of fast and healthy food.

Subtleties in the cooking process vary and depend on the specific recipe. The size of the flakes and their thickness also matter. This mainly affects the choice of volume of liquid, water, milk or cream. For thick and large flakes that absorb a lot of moisture, liquid is taken in a ratio of 1:3. For delicate, small and thin flakes, 1:2 is enough. It is also worth considering the thickness of the porridge: some people like it thicker, some like it thinner.

The standard “Porridge” program in any multicooker is designed for more serious grains like rice or pearl barley. This mode is not suitable for rolled oats - it takes too long. It only takes about ten minutes at most to make oatmeal in a slow cooker. When the cartoon turns off, you don’t need to open the lid right away - you should wait another ten minutes. During this time, the porridge will “calm down”, infuse, become tastier, and the foam will settle.

For the procedure described, it does not matter what liquid goes into the dish - it is suitable for milk, plain water, and mixed liquid.

Along with the cereal, you can add dried fruits or candied fruits to the porridge. Sometimes even instead of sugar. You can also use berries, fruits or any other toppings after cooking - add them to your plate to taste. You can also cook the porridge with pieces of pumpkin, carrots or other vegetables. You can add meat and chicken, but then the cooking time will increase.
