In fact, there are many multifunctional rice cookers on the market now. As long as you learn to use them, even a novice in the kitchen, a small rice cooker can become a magical food helper.
Step 1: Make soup
Let's take corn ribs soup as an example: 1. Wash the bones, add yellow wine and ginger slices to the pot and blanch the bones. 2. Wash away the floating foam on the surface with clear water and put it into the rice cooker for later use. 3. Filter the cooked soup with kitchen paper towels. 4. Wash the red dates, put them in the rice cooker and press the soup button for about 45 minutes, then press it again. 5. Add chopped corn and carrots, and then press the soup button. 6. Add a spoonful of salt ten minutes before cooking, and it is finished.
It should be noted that the rice cooker has no temperature choice. The only way to control the amount of firepower is to control the boiling degree of domestic soup by choosing to leave gaps with different sizes on the pot cover, thus changing the thermal cycle. Of course, the disadvantage of this is that the strong aroma becomes lower and even the water will evaporate. For people with poor soup quality, this function is more than enough.
2. Cook hot pot
For lazy people, this hot pot can be said to be the simplest and most convenient. Add half a pot of water to the chafing dish, and then pour all the chafing dish ingredients: potatoes, mutton rolls, Flammulina velutipes and vegetables.
But its shortcomings are also obvious, because they are all "one pot", and the cooking time of different ingredients is different. For example, chestnuts and potatoes take a long time, but beef and mutton rolls are quick. So basically it takes a long time to cook to ensure that everything is cooked. In this way, for ingredients that take less time, aging will occur. Cooking hot pot in an electric cooker is easy to turn into mud.
Three. toast
Can rice cookers be transformed into toasters? Of course. Rice cookers can bake cookies, bread, pizza and so on. However, due to the complexity of the program, you need to control the temperature very clearly. So the waiting time is longer, so you need to keep waiting for the button to jump up and press it again. again and again
Because the rice cooker can only heat at the bottom, you must keep turning the food upside down so that both sides are evenly heated. However, this shortcoming is that the noodles of the ingredients are definitely lacking and will lose the original pattern. This is also a good way for people who just want to fill their stomachs and don't pay attention to selling pictures.
Step 4: Stir fry
The cooking function of the rice cooker is very limited, and it can only be used for small dishes with little firepower. Because the rice cooker can't be compared with a wok with a fire at the bottom, for simple and easy-to-cook dishes, you only need to keep pressing the heating button to reach the maximum intensity of thermal cycle, and you can also make delicious dishes such as minced meat and eggplant.
A small rice cooker has so many functions, have you learned?
