The multicooker is simple and convenient to use. With its help, you can cook soups, compote, jelly, fry poultry, meat, fish, bake a cake or pie, make yoghurts and various desserts. The taste of dishes cooked in a multicooker is in no way inferior to dishes cooked on the stove or in the oven.
The easiest way to start experiments with a multicooker is to cook chicken. Rub the poultry cut into pieces with salt, pepper and the necessary spices, let stand for about half an hour. Switch on the multicooker to the "baking" mode, set the timer for 40 minutes. Pour some vegetable oil into a bowl, put a couple of garlic cloves and let it heat. After that, put the chicken pieces into the bowl, cover with a lid and wait for the timer signal. At the end of the program, turn the chicken over and cook for another 40 minutes. Pepper curry can be used as a suitable seasoning. The finished dish will acquire an appetizing crust and a beautiful color.
Rice, mashed potatoes, stewed or grilled vegetables are perfect as a side dish for fried chicken in a slow cooker.
If you need to cook a whole chicken, then the washed and dried poultry carcass should be grated with a mixture of vegetable oil, salt, pepper, sugar, spices to taste, brandy and garlic squeezed through a press. In this form, the bird should be marinated for several hours, and even better - all night. Place the pickled chicken in the multicooker bowl. The cooking mode is the same - "baking". At the end of the program, the poultry should be turned over and cooked for another 40 minutes. Sprinkle generously with herbs before serving.
