- How do you make buckwheat milk porridge in a slow cooker? Making this porridge isn't hard — minimal effort, minimal time. It comes out tasty and filling, slow-cooked as if from a masonry oven. It's usually a hit with all porridge lovers, kids and adults alike. So, gather the ingredients. Measure out the right amount of buckwheat, pick it over to remove any debris, then rinse it well under running water. Transfer the rinsed buckwheat to the slow cooker bowl. Choose the "Multicook" or "Fry" mode (the name depends on your particular cooker). If your model lets you set the temperature, set it to 320°F (160°C). Toast the grain, stirring constantly, for 3–4 minutes. Next, measure out the milk and water and pour both into the cooker bowl. Stir everything together. Add the sugar and salt. You can use more or less sugar — go by your own preference. If you're making the porridge for kids, you can leave out the sugar entirely or add just a little. You can also add a bit of ground cinnamon if you like. Or experiment and add your favorite dried fruit — the porridge is good with raisins or dried apricots, for example. Now set the "Porridge" or "Grain" mode; in some cookers it's called "Rice" or "Buckwheat." Set the time for 25 minutes. And… off you go to do chores, get ready for work, or just relax, because the slow cooker handles the cooking on its own now. When the time is up and the signal sounds, the porridge is ready. Spoon the hot porridge onto serving plates and add butter. If you like, you can pour a little milk over the porridge or sprinkle it with nuts and dried fruit. Porridge dressed up this way is a recipe for a good mood all day! Enjoy!

- Keep in mind that the cooking time and mode given in the recipe are approximate. All slow cookers work differently, and even identical models from the same maker can have their quirks. Before making a dish that's new to you in a slow cooker, read its manual carefully, then practice by first cooking dishes you know well and later new ones, dialing in the mode and time for your own machine.
- Instead of sugar, you can use a sweetener that holds up to heat.
