Millet in a slow cooker with milk

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook millet porridge in a slow cooker with milk? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take milk with minimal fat content. 1-1.5% will be enough. If you use richer milk, then when preparing porridge in a slow cooker it runs the risk of running away. Full-fat milk can simply be diluted with water.

2. STEP 2

   

   Everyone knows that millet is usually a little bitter. To get rid of bitterness, pour boiling water over the prepared millet and leave to stand for 2-3 minutes. Why pour boiling water over it? The fact is that grains of millet are covered with a natural coating. It is this that gives the finished dish bitterness. And after hot water, this plaque dissolves and is washed off. Read more about the intricacies of choosing millet in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then drain the hot water and rinse the millet a couple of times in cold water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grease the sides and bottom of the multicooker bowl with a piece of butter. Why do this? This is necessary so that the boiling milk does not rush up and run away. Leave a little oil in the bowl.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the washed millet into the multicooker bowl.

6. STEP 6

   

   Then pour in the milk. Add sugar and a pinch of salt. If you like your porridge sweeter, you can add a little more sugar. Mix everything well and place the bowl in the multicooker. Close the lid.

7. STEP 7

   

   Turn on the “Milk porridge” mode for 40 minutes. After 12-13 minutes, the milk will boil and the porridge will actively cook for the rest of the time. The time is indicated approximately, since it will depend on the power and operating features of your multicooker. Read more about this in a separate article at the link at the end of the recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   As you can see, my boiling milk did not rise above the oiled level. But let me remind you that this only works on low-fat milk. If you start cooking with fatty homemade milk, this limit will not stop the milk.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the finished porridge on plates and help yourself. You can add a little butter or jam. Bon appetit!

Hooray! I finally got excellent millet in a slow cooker with milk! And even the milk didn’t escape, thanks to Yulia’s detailed explanations and advice) Everyone knows that millet is bitter, so I never liked it. But then I found out that the grain needs to be soaked in boiling water; this simple manipulation will relieve the bitterness of the millet. And the author advises the same. Therefore, I also soaked the millet, but I kept it longer, just to be sure)) I diluted the milk more, mine was 3.2%. I took it 300 ml. The rest is filtered water. I immediately added a little sugar to make the porridge sweetish. And that’s it, I forgot about her for 40 minutes. How convenient it is! After finishing the program, thick, steamed and incredibly tasty creamy millet was waiting for me! It really is like straight from the oven) The proportions are perfect, all the milk has been absorbed, but the porridge is not dry. I recommend everyone to try cooking millet in a slow cooker using this recipe.
