Millet in a slow cooker with milk

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To prepare the porridge, prepare the necessary ingredients. Take milk with minimal fat content. 1- 1.5% will be enough. If you use more fatty milk, then when cooking porridge in a slow cooker, it risks running away. Fatty milk can simply be diluted with water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Everyone knows that millet is usually a little bitter. To get rid of this, pour the prepared millet with boiling water and leave to stand for 2-3 minutes. Why pour boiling water? The fact is that the grains of millet are covered with a natural coating. It is he who gives the finished dish bitterness. And after hot water, this plaque dissolves and is washed off.

3. Step 3:

   

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

4. Step 4:

   

   Lubricate the bowl of the slow cooker on the sides and on the bottom with a piece of butter. Why do this? This is necessary so that the boiling milk does not tend upwards and does not run away. Leave a little oil in the bowl.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the washed millet into the bowl of the slow cooker.

7. Step 6:

   

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

8. Step 7:

   

   Turn on the "Milk porridge" mode for 40 minutes. After 12-13 minutes, the milk will boil and the porridge will be actively cooked for the rest of the time.

9. Step 8:

   

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

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