Hello friends! Do you want to know how to cook crumbly millet porridge in a pressure cooker? I assure you that it is easy, fast, inexpensive, tasty and nutritious. In my version, crumbly millet porridge is cooked in water in a multi-pressure cooker. This crumbly millet is perfect as a side dish or an independent dish for lunch or dinner.
For crumbly porridge on water, the proportions are 1 to 1. Or in other words, take one part of water for one part of the cereal. Millet porridge, cooked in this ratio, is a side dish. If you take two parts of water for one part of millet and cook according to the same principle as I write in the recipe below, then you will get a viscous porridge. And in a ratio of 1 to 3 (one part of cereal is three parts of water) the result is liquid porridge. Viscous and liquid porridge is more suitable for breakfast and baby food.
Unfortunately, millet today has somehow become not as popular as in the old days in Rus'. Millet groats are far behind buckwheat. Meanwhile, it has no less nutritional value than buckwheat. Therefore, you should not neglect millet, and include it in your diet from time to time.
Ingredients
- Millet cereal - 1 multi-cup
- Water - 1 multi-glass
- Salt - to taste
How to cook crumbly millet porridge in a pressure cooker
1. Let's prepare the ingredients needed for the porridge. There are a minimum of them and they are all simple. Using the plastic cup that comes with the multicooker (usually multicookers call it a multiglass), pour out the required amount of cereal from the packaging. It would be good to pass the water that we add to the pan during cooking through a filter. Don't forget the salt.
2. Pour the millet into a bowl and fill with cold water. Wash it, rubbing it lightly with your hands. In addition to dirt, there will also be foam. We pour out the dirty water. At the same time, we try to drain it together with the foam and the husks that have floated to the surface (they sell pure millet now, but sometimes you can find a small amount of husks). Thus, we continue to wash the millet, changing the water several times. It’s difficult to say exactly how many times, since it all depends on the quality of the purchased cereal. But the last water should be completely free of foam and not cloudy. Leave the washed cereal in a bowl. Boil the kettle and pour boiling water over the millet. After 5 minutes, drain the boiling water and place the cereal in a fine-mesh sieve. 
3. Pour the millet into the multicooker bowl. Pour filtered water, add salt to your taste and stir. 
4. Close the multicooker-pressure cooker. On the display, select the “Rice/cereals” mode and time 15 minutes, turn on the device. 10 minutes after the readiness signal, turn off the multicooker-pressure cooker and open the lid. 
5. This step is my recommendation, and decide for yourself whether to follow it or not. To ensure that the millet porridge is really crumbly, we do not leave the hot millet to cool in the multi-bowl, but immediately after cooking we transfer it to another suitable container. Then you need to loosen it with a fork. Let me emphasize - do not mix, but loosen! In this case, you can add a piece of butter (if not during fasting) or a spoon or two of vegetable oil. 
6. Serve crumbly millet porridge, cooked in a multicooker-pressure cooker, as a side dish for meat dishes. And if there are fast days, then we serve it as an independent dish. Millet is well complemented with fresh or stewed vegetables. Very tasty with caramelized onions, or simply fried. For this porridge, I also like to simmer carrots with onions and tomato paste until soft. 
Not a single saucepan in the world will cook millet porridge with milk as tasty as a multicooker will. And no stove can cope with its preparation as quickly as a multicooker-pressure cooker. A simple and healthy breakfast - sweet millet porridge with milk, flavored with raisins, will delight you and your loved ones with its delicate stewed taste.
In a multicooker with a pressure cooker function, milk porridges are obtained with the famous “Russian stove effect” - the cereal is steamed to the maximum, absorbing almost all the liquid, but at the same time retaining its texture and shape.
When preparing millet porridge, you can experiment with the volume of milk in the recipe, because millet grains absorb it like a sponge.
Recipe for millet porridge with milk and raisins for a multi-pressure cooker
In this case, the dish was prepared in a Vitesse VS-525 multi-pressure cooker, where the “Porridge/Soup” function is provided in the program. There is also an alternative “Rice” program, which is also adapted for preparing similar porridges. Choose the one you like best.
Products:
Preparation. First, check the condition of the millet from which you are going to cook porridge. Nowadays, stores often sell cereals purified from impurities - all of its pre-processing can be reduced to washing in cold water.
If there are a lot of specks and foreign particles in the cereal, the millet, first of all, needs to be sorted out. Only after this is it washed, changing the water 2-3 times.
The raisins also just need to be washed. There is no need to steam it in boiling water, as is required for preparing some other dishes. In the slow cooker, it, together with the cereal, will reach the desired “standard” on its own.
Place the washed millet into the bowl of a multicooker-pressure cooker. Pour milk in there too. The pasteurized product can be poured cold, and it is advisable to boil homemade milk in advance. But its temperature at the time of combining with millet has absolutely no meaning: it can be either hot or cold, just taken out of the refrigerator.
Add salt, sugar and raisins to the milk with millet. Stir everything well with a plastic or wooden spoon. Close the lid and set the pressure cooker valve to the sealed position.
On the control panel, select the “Porridge/Soup” or “Rice” function. Set the cooking time to 15-20 minutes. It will be quite enough - after all, your porridge will be cooked under pressure. If you do not install the valve and do not seal the pan, then the porridge will cook as usual, without pressure. But then this process can take an hour or even more.
When the multicooker-pressure cooker completes the set program, it will emit a sound signal and automatically turn on the heating mode. In this mode, millet milk porridge can retain all its advantages for 6-7 hours. In other words, you can organize its preparation in the evening, and in the morning you will receive a ready-made dish at the optimal temperature. But you shouldn’t overcook the porridge in a running slow cooker either, otherwise it will simply turn sour.

Have you set a goal to learn a foreign language, but don’t know where to start? We'll tell you!
Nowadays, it is very important to know foreign languages, but no one likes cramming words and phrases. Therefore, first, define your goal - why do you need knowledge of the language? Motivation is very important.
It’s boring to study something if you just need it “for show” or for evaluation. In that case, you need to come up with an idea, goal, dream, Napoleonic plans... For example: “I’ll learn a foreign language and write scripts for Hollywood films!” After all, if you have a dream, then doing everything is much easier. To learn how to memorize words easily and fun, there are several tricks.
If you repeat the same thing many times, it will be remembered well. Especially if you perceive everything well by ear. Just write down a few words or phrases with translation into a voice recorder on your phone, or download audio lectures for yourself and listen to them constantly - on the way to school or while doing household chores. For those who remember information better visually, it is better to write words and phrases. You can print or write them with a translation on cards and place them in a visible place: hang them on the refrigerator, the door, next to the bed. Every time you pass by, read and pronounce them. It is best to memorize words by topic: professions, fruits, clothes, colors, irregular verbs, etc. You should not memorize a large number of words or phrases at one time, it is better not more than 10 or 20.
There are many different apps and websites on the Internet that can help you learn a language. But their only drawback is that you have to constantly sit at the computer.
A positive attitude should be in everything, in learning – first of all. If you find something funny in every word or phrase, you will remember it right away! You can try to speak a foreign language with family and friends. You can find associations for the word. For example: look (look, appearance, appearance) - “onion”, can be remembered as: “I look at the onion.”
If you have favorite movie or book(which have been translated into Russian), watch or read in the original language, without translation or only with subtitles. You roughly know the content and it will be easy for you to understand the meaning. This way you will understand how and in what situation it is better to use words.
A foreign language requires constant communication, otherwise everything is quickly forgotten. Therefore, new words must be alternated with already learned ones. And repeat, repeat, repeat... On social networks it’s easy to find native speakers who will be happy to communicate with you. You can not only improve your language skills, but also find friends around the world. Turn on the positive and let it help you learn languages! Everything will be all right!
Millet porridge in a slow cooker and awareness of one’s own worthlessness October 29th, 2012
It turns out that it is very easy to deprive a person of peace, just give him a self-assembling saucepan for use, and that’s it, screw it.
Now in my kitchen, as in a real factory laboratory, all day long something is hissing, spitting, steam is billowing, the windows are fogged up, something is being cooked and nothing comes of it. I’m just very unfamiliar with the process of cooking in the absence of my beloved.
I always want to look inside, take an active part, intervene, give valuable guidance, advice. But the saucepan doesn’t like it when people start teaching it, so it snorts and spits at me.
It would seem that it would be difficult to cook porridge. I washed it, poured it in, salted it, added sugar, stirred it and let it puff slightly over a quiet fire. I tried it - it was not salty, I added it. Then I stirred it and tried it again to cook it a little more. Turned off the light, let it sit for a while longer. Butter added and EVERYTHING! Everything is clear and understandable.
And here, at the beginning of the journey, you need to foresee everything in advance, how much of what you need, how long to cook, how long to puff, how long to wait then...
No, while it’s difficult for me to cook like this, I can’t foresee everything in advance.
For example, I started cooking millet porridge on the pressure cooker porridge.
We cook it as usual. Take 1 glass of millet.
We rinse it with clean water.
You can add a handful of dried fruits.
But what to do next?
Usually we fill the cereal with water in a ratio of 1 to 2 (for 1 cup of millet 2 cups of water) and bring it to a boil over high heat, and then evaporate all the water. Then pour in the same amount of milk and cook over low heat, stirring continuously, for about 30 minutes until cooked (not to be confused with potatoes in the oven1). Well, maybe 40. What do you want to do here if this smart machine has pressure cooker-porridge program, designed for 13 minutes, and you can’t get inside without her special permission?
I decided to try first boiling 1 glass with 2.5 glasses of water, and then, at the end of the program, pour in 1 glass of milk.
I poured in 1 cup of millet, poured in 2.5 cups of water, added dried fruits, 1 tsp. salt and 2 tbsp. Sahara.
Closed the valve and turned it on pressure cooker-porridge program and began to observe the process. It warmed up for about 5 minutes, then it pumped up pressure for another 10 minutes, then the countdown timer started - 13 minutes, 12 minutes, etc.
The bell has rung, but the lid is not yet possible to open! You have to sit and wait until the saucepan cools down and releases the pressure itself and opens the valve. Attempts to forcibly release the pressure and open it end in a huge hiss and a fountain of splashes. Yes, and you can’t do this according to the instructions. We have to wait. If it’s necessary, then it’s necessary, we’re waiting. 10 minutes pass, but it has not opened yet. I don't have enough patience, so I slowly and carefully peel away. Oops, the valve has opened. Now you can open the lid.
The porridge is clearly not ready yet, but it is already well steamed.
Pour in 1 glass of milk and stir.
Since the saucepan is very hot, I decide to turn on the heat for another 10 minutes.
The porridge is almost ready, but it turned out too thick and damp in some places.
In general, it was just a hassle, no pleasure, like - he fell asleep and left. We need to do everything differently.
Well, saucepan, since you say that you are so smart, good! I'll fall asleep and leave for 40 minutes. If you don't cook, I'll give you back!
I add 1 glass of washed millet and a handful of dried fruits
pour in 2 glasses of water
and 2 glasses of milk
add 1 tsp. salt and 2 tbsp. Sahara
I throw in a piece of 30 g butter.
I turn it on pressure cooker-porridge program, I force the time to 40 minutes, close the lid and walk out of sight.
After 40 minutes, the bell rings, I vent the steam, and carefully, so as not to get burned, open the lid.
And here is my porridge.
You know, as a homosapien, I am terribly offended when some little pot turns out to be smarter than me. And it cooks even better than me.
I just don’t know how to live on!
P.S. And yes, if you don’t touch this saucepan, then it behaves quite decently. Doesn't hiss, doesn't release steam, doesn't spit. It’s just obedience itself, and not a saucepan, it’s expensive to look at it.
Having a pressure cooker makes your daily cooking easier. A pressure cooker is a pan in which food is cooked under pressure. Of course, it wins over conventional pans. Steam, creating high pressure, speeds up the cooking time, and significantly. After all, a very high temperature is created inside such a pan. This is simply impossible to achieve on a regular stove.
Cooking porridge in such a device takes only a few minutes. And without the fear that it will burn.
The taste of the dishes is more intense. After all, more beneficial nutrients are retained in the products.
- You can cook in it only if there is liquid. Therefore, porridge can be cooked in milk or water. The amount of liquid must be calculated in advance. Otherwise, you will need to release the pressure and open the lid. In turn, this increases the cooking time.
- It is necessary to fill the volume of the pan, taking into account the fact that during cooking any cereal increases in volume. Otherwise, the pressure gain/relief valve may become clogged.
- The rubber seal on the lid should provide a tight seal.
- The oil can be added immediately or added to the prepared porridge.
