A slow cooker is one of the most useful kitchen appliances in the modern kitchen, simplifying and reducing cooking time.
The slow cooker is one of the most useful kitchen appliances in the modern kitchen, simplifying and reducing cooking time. However, as it turned out, not all foods can be cooked in them.
Experts have told us that foods should never be cooked in a slow cooker.
Popcorn
As you know, the maximum temperature in most multicookers does not exceed 175 °C, and popcorn requires at least 200 °C. Therefore, it is better to cook popcorn in a frying pan or microwave.
Milk cereals
Milk porridge can be cooked in a slow cooker only with a special mode. Milk will certainly start to “run away” when boiling, and therefore the multicooker will have to be cleaned for a long time. Note that the cooking time increases significantly, up to about an hour.
Pancake
You won’t be able to fry pancakes in a slow cooker. That’s because they won’t even be able to “stick” in the deep bowl of the slow cooker and you won’t be able to turn them over.
Therefore, the best solution is to fry pancakes in a frying pan.
French fries
This dish is fried in boiling oil at 227 °C. Even a multicooker with the highest power of 1000 W is not able to provide the appropriate temperature.
However, you can still fry them, but they will not be as crispy as French fries.
Meringue
This French dessert will definitely not work in a slow cooker. In particular, it should be baked at a low temperature in a dry atmosphere.
Otherwise, the meringue will not be crispy like in a slow cooker.
