Buckwheat in a slow cooker
Products
Buckwheat - 1 glass
Water - 2 glasses for crumbly buckwheat
Butter (optional) - 30-40 grams cube
Salt - half a teaspoon
How to cook
1. Before cooking, sort the buckwheat, rinse and for friability, ignite in a dry multicooker on the "frying" mode for 5 minutes.
2. Add cold water in a ratio of 1 cup of buckwheat: 2 cups of water, salt water.
3. Pour buckwheat into water, close the lid of the multicooker.
4. Set the multicooker to the "Buckwheat" mode (or, if there is no "Buckwheat" mode, to the "Milk porridge" or "Rice" mode).
5. Cook buckwheat in a slow cooker for 30 minutes... In 10 minutes water will boil and buckwheat will be cooked for 20 minutes. If you cook more buckwheat, then you need more cooking time. For 2 cups of buckwheat, the time should be set not 30, but 40 minutes.
6. Add a cube of butter and mix the buckwheat.
7. For tender buckwheat, close the multicooker with a lid and let it brew for 10 minutes.
Buckwheat in a slow cooker
It is good to cook buckwheat in a multicooker due to the heating effect from all sides and the greater retention of moisture, because in this case the water practically does not evaporate outside.The proportions of buckwheat and water in a multicooker are standard 1: 2, but for a thinner porridge, pour a little more water.
If the multicooker has a pressure cooker option, then you can cook buckwheat even faster: with the valve closed, only 8 minutes of cooking will be enough. Before opening the multicooker, open the air outlet valve.
By the way, buckwheat can be cooked and without cooking:
1. Sort buckwheat before cooking, rinse and heat. Boil a kettle of water, pour boiling water over the buckwheat so that it is completely covered with it, add salt.
2. Set the multicooker to keep warm or preheat.
3. Insist buckwheat on this mode for 1 hour.
4. Add oil to buckwheat and close the multicooker for another 10 minutes.
