Useful properties of a multicooker
This device is remarkable because it is multifunctional (multi-many).
He has as many as 6 programs:
- Buckwheat. Program for cooking various cereals. You don’t need to bother with calculating the amount of cereal and liquid, just pour in the cereal, pour in the liquid, add salt, oil, spices (optional) - the microprocessor will do the rest for you: cook the crumbly porridge, make sure it doesn’t burn, so that it doesn’t “run away” "so that it doesn't get cold. Don't be afraid - he won't eat your porridge for you.
- Pilaf. Prepare real pilaf, just like in a restaurant. Or regular rice porridge with vegetables. Any whim at your request.
- Milk porridge. Well, this is clear without words. He cooks small porridges - either for the baby or for the mother.
- Bakery. Bakes casseroles, pies, muffins, biscuits, can bake meat, poultry, fish - either with butter or in its own juice.
- Extinguishing. No, not a fire! As for the rest, everything is extinguished. And he even makes vegetable preparations for the winter.
- Steaming. For this function alone, the multicooker is a “must buy” for those who plan to “make friends with the diet” - the food turns out to be as healthy and harmless as possible: vitamins are not destroyed, calories are not added, and dishes do not become boring. You can also cook pasta and noodles and even boil milk without having to chase it.

Ingredients
- Beef – 600 g
- Cabbage – 350 g
- Potatoes – 3 pcs.
- Beets – 1 pc.
- Carrots – 1 pc.

Preparation
Wash the meat, trim off all the fat and cut into small pieces. Fry in a small amount of vegetable oil in a multicooker (20 minutes, “Baking” mode). Finely chop the cabbage. Grate the beets and carrots on a coarse grater. Finely chop the onion. Cut potatoes and fresh tomatoes into cubes. If you don’t have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned ones, but you can’t use tomato or ketchup - these are not dietary products at all.
Yes, borscht can also be dietary!
Place all the vegetables in a slow cooker in layers on top of the meat: onions, potatoes, beets, carrots, cabbage. Fill with water to the very top mark in the multicooker bowl. Add salt, pepper (ground and peppercorns), bay leaf and lemon juice. If you don’t have fresh lemon juice, you can dilute a couple of grains of citric acid in water. It is unacceptable to use vinegar - it is not a dietary product.
In the “Baking” mode, bring the borscht to a boil, but do not let it boil, but immediately switch to the “Stewing” mode and leave it for 1.5 hours. After the readiness signal, the borscht should steep (25-30 minutes), and then it can be poured into plates. It is recommended to sprinkle the borscht with finely chopped green onions on the plate. For those who are not on a strict diet, you can add a spoonful of sour cream, but this will increase the calorie content of the portions.

PP baking in a multicooker - corn flour biscuit
Even on a diet, you can afford to bake; PP baking in a slow cooker turns out no worse than in the oven. Let's prepare a biscuit with corn flour sweetener.
- 3 eggs;
- 0.5 cups corn flour;
- 1 tbsp. l. corn starch;
- 0.25 cups of erythritol (sweetener);
- 0.5 tsp. baking powder.
Beat the eggs with the addition of sweetener. With this product, eggs are beaten worse than with sugar, so you will have to work longer with the mixer. When the mass becomes fluffy, add corn flour, baking powder and starch. The dough will be a little more liquid than a regular sponge cake. Pour the dough into a greased bowl and bake for 65 minutes on the “Baking” program.

Cheesecake made from cottage cheese and cookies in a slow cooker
I'll start with this recipe. What's good about it? Because it requires the most ordinary products - no cream cheese or any other exotic ingredients. Everything is accessible and simple. However, like cooking, this cheesecake does not require dancing with tambourines. The result is excellent!
Ingredients for curd mass:
- 500 g (preferably fatty)
- 200 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 200 g sour cream
- 3 tbsp. l. starch
- 2/3 tsp. baking powder
- 1/3 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. vanillin
Base ingredients:
- 200 g shortbread cookies;
- 80 g butter.
Step-by-step preparation:
The first thing we need to do is grease the multicooker bowl with oil. I advise you not to ignore this, even if you have a non-stick bowl. Butter will add flavor!
Now put the cookies into the processor. You can break it into pieces first. Don't have a combine? Grate the cookies. Our goal is to grind the cookies into crumbs.
Add melted butter and mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into the multicooker bowl. We form the bottom and make a small side.
Now let's get to the filling. Separate the whites from the yolks and set aside for now. But put the yolks and all other ingredients for the filling into a blender and beat until smooth.
Pour the resulting mass into a bowl.
Using a mixer, turn the whites into a fluffy foam (up to stable peaks). Add the curd mass in portions, stirring, to the protein foam.
Pour the filling into the base and level it out.
Cook on the “Baking” program for 50 minutes, closing the lid.
After the signal about the end of the program, wait another 10 minutes and open the lid. Now you need to wait for the cheesecake to cool completely. It's not fast. To speed up cooling, remove the bowl from the multi, but not immediately, but after an hour or two.
When everything has cooled completely, remove the cheesecake using a steamer rack. The photo shows how to do this.
Place the dessert in the refrigerator, after 3-4 hours you can cut it!
Dietary recipes in a slow cooker. Steamed cheesecakes
Steaming in a slow cooker is convenient for cooking not only cutlets, but also other dishes, and at least the same cheesecakes that you probably only fried before. Now try “boiled” cheesecakes - they will have noticeably fewer calories than fried ones.
Preparation:
- In 400 g of cottage cheese, break one egg, pour 3 teaspoons of sugar, a third of a teaspoon of salt, three tablespoons of flour and vanilla on the tip of a knife. Grind with a fork, and then beat a little with a blender until a thick, homogeneous mass. With wet hands, form the cheesecakes and place them on a mesh tray.
- Pour less than half of the water into the multicooker cup, place a tray with cheesecakes on the cup, and set the “Steam” mode for 20 minutes. When ready, cool the cheesecakes, transfer them to a plate, pour them with what you like - jam, honey, sour cream, yogurt, condensed milk. And you can enjoy it.

Now, thanks to the capabilities of the Internet, there is no need to organize a hunt - choose a proven option and cook. I’ll tell you not only how to bake the legendary cheesecake cartoon, but also how to make your own cookies for its base!
Cookie base ingredients:
- 200 g whole grain wheat flour
- 50 g butter
- 100 g sugar
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 60 ml milk
- 1 tsp without baking powder top
- vanillin and salt - a pinch
Cheesecake ingredients
for the base:
- 100 g butter
- 300 g cookies
For filling:
- 800 g curd cheese
- 300 g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 yolks
- 50 ml milk
- 90 ml heavy cream
- 1 tbsp. corn starch
- zest of half a lemon
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- salt, vanillin - a couple of pinches each
Preparation step by step:
- Let's start with cookies. Mix all the products (the oil should be at room temperature), put it in a bag and put it in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Then roll out thinly (0.5 cm thick), cut into cookies and bake in the oven on parchment. Temperature - 170 degrees, time - 20 minutes.
- Once the cookies have cooled, you can prepare the cheesecake itself.
- Grind the cookies into crumbs and mix with soft butter. The result is a crumb that will hold its shape well. We lay out a base with sides from this crumb. We compact everything well.
- We make the curd filling in a blender. You just need to mix all the ingredients until smooth. Just make sure you don’t allow it to be whipped so that air doesn’t get bubbles into the mass, just mix. It is most convenient to do this in a blender at low speeds.
- Pour the filling into the multi bowl to the base and set to bake. “Baking” mode for 1 hour, but after the end of the program, do not open the lid for another 10 minutes. Next, open the multicooker and let the dessert cool for another 40 minutes. Let's put our bowl in the refrigerator for 10-12 hours. More convenient for the night.

Yeast pie with mushrooms
Lenten yeast baked goods can be both sweet and salty. Open and closed pies, pies, buns, bagels - all this can be made from such a tasty and airy dough.
Products
For the test:
- Warm boiled water – 0.5 l.
- Pressed live yeast – 50 gr.
- Sugar – 2-4 tbsp. l.
- Salt – 1 tsp.
- Flour - as needed
- Unscented vegetable oil – 50-70 gr.
For filling:
- Mushrooms – 500 gr.
- Carrot – 1 pc. (large)
- White onion – 1 pc. (large)
- Salt, seasonings - to taste.
If it is a sweet, lean pastry, increase the amount of sugar in the dough. For lean yeast dough, it is better to use live yeast, they will rise the mass better and the pie will turn out fluffy.
Preparation
The dough can be prepared in two ways: sponged and straight, or direct kneading. Let's look at both.
Sponge method:
- Dissolve sugar and salt in warm water. Add the yeast and stir until it dissolves in the liquid. Give 10-15 minutes. stand until small bubbles appear. This is the yeast that begins to “make friends” with sugar.
- Sift about 2 tbsp. flour. Add them to the yeast liquid and stir so that there are no lumps. Cover with a cotton towel and place in a warm place, protected from drafts, for 30-40 minutes. During this time, the dough should approximately double in size.
- Pour vegetable oil into the dough and begin adding sifted flour, kneading a soft but elastic dough. Cover again with a towel and place in the same place for 1.5-2 hours. The dough will increase in size. It needs to be squashed once and allowed to rise again.
- After this, you can begin to form the pie.
Direct kneading method (no steam):
- Add sugar, salt, yeast to warm water and stir until smooth. Add oil.
- Sift the flour and gradually add it to the liquid, kneading the soft dough.
- Cover with a towel and place in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours to rise. Process with two kneads. After that, let's move on to the pie.
The pie itself:
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Chop the mushrooms and fry in vegetable oil, adding diced onions and finely grated carrots. Season with salt and seasonings. The mushroom filling can be prepared in a slow cooker, or in a frying pan - whichever is more convenient.
- Divide the dough into two unequal parts. Knead the larger one on a board with a small amount of flour and shape it with your hands!!! pancake, about 1-15 cm thick. Calculate the size so as to cover the bottom and sides of the bowl in the multicooker.
- Grease the bowl with oil, sprinkle with flour and place the prepared dough. Spread the filling and smooth it out with a spoon.
- We also knead the second half of the dough and make a “lid” for the pie. Cover the filling and make punctures with a fork or thin stick so that air escapes during baking and the dough does not “tear”. Grease the top with vegetable oil to create a shiny crust on the finished pie.
- Set the “Baking” mode for 1-1.2 hours, close the lid and bake until the sound signal.
- Leave the finished pie for 10-15 minutes. in the bowl with the lid open. Let the baked goods sit and rest.
Remove using a steamer rack and place on a plate. Sprinkle with chopped dill and green onions. The pie will be delicious both warm and cold.
