Some people start their day with sandwiches, while others start their day with milk porridge. Both of these affect health. It just affects differently. Milk porridge - in a favorable way, but sandwiches, unfortunately, not. Doctors and nutritionists often talk a lot about the benefits of cereals. One of them is oat, or oatmeal (after all, oatmeal is specially processed oat grains). Why is oatmeal so useful? Firstly, a rich composition of vitamins and microelements, important both individually and in combination. Secondly, by the fact that it normalizes the work of such systems as the digestive, cardiovascular and nervous (thanks to the B vitamins, it improves memory and increases brain performance); improves liver and kidney function; cleanses the body, removes toxins and toxins; increases the overall tone. Thirdly, oatmeal is a natural antidepressant. Therefore, cereals from it have a positive effect not only on well-being, but also on mood.

So, friends, do not say “Fi”, but include oatmeal porridge in your diet. A multicooker will help you. While you take your morning shower and exercise (or maybe, like me, walk the dogs), she will prepare a healthy breakfast for you. Let's cook herculean porridge with milk in a slow cooker.

Ingredients for herculean porridge

1. Oat flakes "Hercules" - one glass (volume 250 ml)
2. Milk (fat content not higher than 3.5%) - 1 liter
3. Butter - 25 grams
4. Salt - to taste
5. Sugar - to taste

1. Such a not tricky and affordable set of ingredients will be for our future porridge. Hercules should, of course, not be instant. That is, not the one that is simply poured with boiling water. Milk diluted with water, I personally do not see the need. But, if for some reason you always cook cereals with diluted milk, then do it the way you are usually used to.

2. Put the butter in the bowl, dividing into small pieces. (This is for taste, and not a safety net against milk escaping or porridge sticking to the bowl.) Now we put hercules in the slow cooker.

3. Pour milk (or, if desired, milk with water). Salt and sweeten to your taste and taste, mix gently. Then close the lid and turn the handle to lock it. Through the menu, select "Extinguishing" (the program without pressure, works in the mode of a conventional multicooker) and the time is 1 hour. Further, as always, "Start". Let the hercules cook, I will make a small digression and explain why we set this particular mode. Oursson MP 5010 does not have a special Milk Porridge program. Representatives of the Oursson company recommend choosing the “Extinguishing” mode for cereals with milk, since this program is guaranteed not to run off milk. I believe the representatives, however, I like to find out everything thoroughly by experience. Having tried (and more than once!) to cook porridge from different cereals in milk on the “Porridge” (under pressure) and “Extinguishment” (without pressure) programs, now I confirm - yes! We cook all dairy products on the "Extinguishing". The program works very delicately, despite the high power of the multicooker. The time that I set for oatmeal porridge is 1 hour - this is the minimum time, the factory setting. Initially, it seemed to me that 1 hour was too long for Hercules. But, believe me, it’s very normal, and the porridge turns out just amazing.

4. While I was making a brief excursion, an hour passed imperceptibly and signals were heard. We're going to open the lid of the MV. Let's see if milk porridge is ready? Oh yeah! How ready!

We serve plates, spoons on the table and lay out the hercules. Optionally, add fresh berries or fruits. After all, they perfectly complement the dish.

Hercules porridge is as easy to cook in a slow cooker as all other cereals. This simple, tasty and very healthy dish is a wonderful breakfast. Hercules porridge can be cooked in milk. If the milk is very fatty homemade, and the porridge is prepared for children, then it is advisable to dilute the milk with water. The main thing is to keep the proportions. For 1 cup of hercules should account for 2 cups of liquid. If you want to get porridge more liquid than in the photo, then you can slightly increase the amount of liquid.

Prepare the necessary products.

Pour oatmeal into the bowl of the multicooker and fill it with milk and water.

Add sugar. The amount of sugar depends on what you will serve the porridge with, and also depends on your taste.

Set the multicooker to the “Porridge” mode and cook porridge with the lid closed.

Since in this mode cooking takes place at a temperature of 90 ° C, I use already boiled or pasteurized milk and boiled water. If your milk and water are not boiled, then you can first boil the water and milk, and then pour in the oatmeal. In order to boil milk and water, pour milk and water into the multicooker bowl and turn on any mode in the multicooker at which the cooking temperature is more than 100 ° C. For example, it can be the "Rice / Pilaf" mode, which maintains a temperature of 105 ° C. When milk and water boils, add oatmeal. Continue cooking in the "Porridge" mode.

By default, the "Porridge" mode in the slow cooker cooks porridge for 1 hour. If you have a time control in the slow cooker, you can reduce the time to 30-40 minutes. This is quite enough to get a delicious oatmeal porridge.

Serve porridge with honey, berries, raisins or dried fruits.

In kindergartens, hercules is included in the mandatory menu of kids. And they do it right! After all, it is difficult to find a more tasty and healthy cereal. Properly cooked, it gets the viscous consistency necessary for feeding the baby. The amount of "usefulness" in it just rolls over! Here are the B vitamins, calcium and phosphorus, useful for bones, and potassium and magnesium necessary for the heart. In general, all the best for children!

Subtleties of choice and preparation

And not only for children. Nutritionists confidently include hercules in a healthy diet for losing weight. Coarse fiber in its composition perfectly cleanses the intestines, and long carbohydrates maintain a feeling of satiety for up to 4 hours. There is no hunger, no desire to suddenly have a bite of "cookies". Good for maintaining normal weight.

Hercules porridge is a type of oatmeal, the coarsest grinding. This suggests that it has undergone minimal processing and retained a maximum of useful substances. When cooking in a saucepan, this is reflected in the cooking time (up to 20 minutes). But herculean milk porridge in a slow cooker is cooked much faster! And it turns out amazingly delicious.

• Use Classic Hercules. Choose plastic transparent packages in which you can clearly see the cereal. Light, without dark inclusions, large size - suits you. In polyethylene, the flakes are protected from moisture during storage, so they retain their beneficial properties throughout the year. And they do not go rancid, which happens when stored improperly in cardboard packs.
• Keep Proportions. During the cooking period, the liquid evaporates in the pan, therefore, to obtain a more viscous consistency of porridge, it is recommended to take 3 cups of liquid per glass of cereal. This does not happen in a slow cooker, so the proportion is clear - 2: 1. Pour in more liquid, the porridge will turn out to be too liquid.
• Use boiled or pasteurized milk and filtered water. Herculean milk porridge in a slow cooker is prepared in the “Milk porridge” or simply “Porridge” mode. They do not provide for boiling, heating at 90 °. If you are not sure about the quality of milk or water, pre-prepare them, and only then pour them into a saucepan. By the way, you can boil them here by turning on the "Rice / Pilaf" or "Quick heating" mode. Their heating temperature is more than 100 °.
• Do not open the lid during cooking. This rule applies to all dishes in the slow cooker. Violating the temperature regime, you increase the period of bringing them to readiness.
• Grease a saucepan with oil. Oatmeal actively foams and sprinkles. To prevent her from "running away", you can smear a piece of butter in the middle of the saucepan.
• The cooking time depends on the type of your multicooker.. On average, it is 20 minutes, but may vary in different models. So in the Redmont, Panasonic, Philips models, the cooking period is 15 minutes in the "Porridge" mode. Multicooker Polaris, mulinex will cook hercules in 10 minutes in the "Multi-Cook" mode.

It is convenient to cook porridge in a slow cooker from Hercules in the delayed start mode. Lay all the ingredients in the evening, set the hour by which the porridge should be ready. In the morning you do not have to spend time on this, and for breakfast you can offer your family a tender and nutritious dish.

Simple and quick recipe

We offer you the easiest recipe for making hercules in a slow cooker. Set the time according to the device model. In order not to be mistaken, you can use the standard "Porridge" mode.

Mix with sugar, salt, cinnamon, butter. And leave to cook in porridge mode for the entire period. Flakes will literally dissolve in milk, turning into a delicate creamy mass.

Instead of honey, any homemade jam is also suitable. Children love oatmeal with strawberry jam, apple and peach jam.

Do not add honey to the bowl during the boiling period, as its beneficial substances are destroyed in hot water. The normal temperature for this product is not more than 40°. To saturate the dish with both taste and benefits, cool the porridge slightly by spreading it on plates. And only then pour it with a valuable and sweet ingredient on top.

It's so easy to prepare Hercules porridge in a slow cooker: the recipe for each dish, of course, can be adjusted by adding fresh fruits and berries to it. In winter, you can use frozen, as well as candied fruits (pieces of dates, pineapples).
