Cottage cheese made from kefir in a slow cooker is delicious. I cooked it using the “milk porridge” mode and periodically checked for doneness. In the bowl of the multicooker, I cut the resulting curd mass into squares, so that later it would be more convenient to remove it with a slotted spoon. The cottage cheese turned out tender, soft and moist!

Olchik, thank you for such a gorgeous recipe! I just have 3 liters of sour milk sitting idle, today I’ll try to warm up the curd according to your method, although I don’t have a multi-cooker function, so I’ll use heating)

An interesting method, but I’ve also seen another one, it will be needed by someone who doesn’t have a multicooker

Yes, the cottage cheese turns out very tasty and tender. I don’t have the “Multi-cook” function, so I keep the kefir on the “Warming” mode for 15 minutes and then don’t lift the lid for 15 minutes. I like to add jam to the cottage cheese, any kind of jam, but cherry and blackcurrant are best.
