Why does food burn in a slow cooker?

Multicookers have become the main assistant in the kitchen. Almost everyone uses them, even experienced housewives often allow themselves to take advantage of this miracle of technology. Thanks to the convenient and simple interface, anyone can handle the controls. The device comes with instructions for use and a basic set of recipes. With their help you can prepare your favorite dishes.

The multicooker allows you to do everyday chores without being distracted by cooking. The smart system does everything automatically. This saves a lot of time and effort after a long day at work.

But sometimes even a proven device disappoints. This happens when the housewife sees a burnt dish in the bowl. Let's figure out why this happens.

Meaning of non-stick cooking mode

One of the main advantages of using a multicooker is the use of a non-stick coating. It allows you to easily prepare various products, as well as quickly wash the structural elements of the equipment after cooking. However, for the correct implementation of this function, a number of requirements must be met.

The main one is operating mode. This is what determines the cooking time and temperature corresponding to the selected dish. When selecting a mode, the system automatically sets the following operating parameters.

• Temperature, at which the dish will be prepared.
• Cooking time. Each menu item has its own indicator.
• Features of heating the multicooker bowl. Some modes have their own characteristics.
  On the main panel there are buttons for heating and your own recipe, in which you can independently adjust all the parameters listed above.

You should be careful when choosing a program when preparing various dishes in order to get the desired result and delicious food. In the future, with sufficient work experience, you can combine various points.

IMPORTANT! To correctly select the required operating mode, you should pay attention to the recipe book. Typically, manufacturers indicate in it the appropriate main menu item for cooking.

If you don’t have the book, or you’ve lost it, you can find recipes for a slow cooker on the Internet. Carry out all actions according to the presented plan.

Volume matters!

Another important point that you should definitely pay attention to is the volume of products and all components. Read the recipe carefully, prepare in advance all the necessary products to put in the bowl. Follow the main points when putting vegetables, cereals, and meat into the bowl.

• Make sure to maintain the ratio of liquid and dry parts of the products. If there is not enough water, the food begins to dry out and burn to the walls.
• Follow the bookmark sequence carefully. There is a special book for this that describes the procedure and principle of action.
• Don't overfill the cup, all products must mix freely. If this cannot be done, there is a risk of burning.
• Add additional oil and waterif the dish dries out quickly.

Everything in the equipment is calculated down to the smallest detail, and the work is brought to the point of automation. Therefore, it is important to strictly observe the order and correctness of all actions.

IMPORTANT! If desired, you can double the portion if this is provided for by the volume of the multicooker. In this case, it is necessary to strictly observe all the proportions specified in the preparation instructions.

Baking is a delicate matter: the nuances of non-stick baking

There are no difficulties with ordinary dishes; it is much more difficult to work with baked goods.

IMPORTANT! Perform all actions in accordance with the instructions so that the dishes do not burn and delight you with their taste.

In this case, it is necessary to pay special attention to the following parameters and performance indicators.

• Monitor the condition of the bowl coating. If there is damage, it must be replaced.
• Before starting work grease the surface with oil, spread it evenly in a continuous layer.
• When kneading the dough try to add less sugar. Because carbohydrates begin to burn quickly when the temperature rises, forming a bitter crust.
• Despite the selected Baking program, you need to independently determine the exact time of product readiness. Check the baked goods with a toothpick and determine the time it takes for them to be completely baked. In the future, be guided by the resulting value.

Happy cooking!
