Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 45 min

Step 1:
To prepare barley porridge in a slow cooker with milk, prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take the milk with minimal fat content, otherwise it will run away from the slow cooker. If the milk is fatty, then it can be combined with water.
Step 2:
Lubricate the bowl of the slow cooker along the bottom and along the walls with a piece of butter. And leave some oil in the bowl itself. Why lubricate the bowl with oil? This is necessary so that the milk does not try to escape from the slow cooker.
Step 3:
Rinse the barley grits several times in cold water so that the water remains clean and almost transparent after washing. Garbage and husks will immediately float to the surface and they can be drained together with water. Drain the excess water from the cereal. If a little water remains in the bowl, it's okay.
Step 4:
Put the washed barley grits into the bowl of the slow cooker.
Step 5:
Fill the cereal with milk. Add a pinch of salt and sugar to the bowl. Mix everything together. I love sweet porridge and the specified amount of sugar is quite enough for me. But you can add or reduce its amount to your liking.
Step 6:
Put the bowl in the slow cooker, cover with a lid and turn on the "Milk porridge" mode for 40 minutes.
Step 7:
After the specified time, the slow cooker will sound a signal that the porridge is ready. The porridge turns out to be quite thick, since barley groats absorb the liquid well. If you like the porridge to be liquid, then you can add hot milk to the finished porridge and stir everything well. Fragrant, delicious and tender porridge is ready!
Step 8:
Put the finished porridge into prepared plates and serve it to the table hot. Add a small piece of butter or fresh berries to the porridge. Enjoy your meal!

Delicious, hearty and nutritious breakfast for the whole family. The finished porridge can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-3 days, but if necessary, reheat it in a microwave oven and pour a little milk or water, because after standing, the porridge will become even thicker.

Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode are indicated approximately in the recipe. All slow cookers work differently and even the same models of the same manufacturer may have their own characteristics. Before you start cooking a new dish for you in a slow cooker, carefully study the instructions for it, and then in practice try to cook dishes that are familiar to you first, and then new ones, choosing the mode and time individually for your own technique.

Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that is not afraid of heat treatment.
