Delicious food attracts with its appetizing appearance and amazing aroma.

And in every country they know a lot about delicious stewed vegetables. And over the centuries they have come up with many recipes. The taste of a dish stewed in a slow cooker is somewhat different from when cooked in a saucepan. Thanks to the special technology of cooking in airtight containers, it is brighter, richer, and at the same time more tender.

How to deliciously stew cabbage in a slow cooker

Before you press the treasured button on your gadget, find out a few nuances, without which the food will not turn out the way you expect it.

All types of pressure cookers are suitable for stewing: Panasonic, Redmond, Panasonic, Polaris and other representatives of kitchen appliances. The names of the modes may vary, but you will always find a suitable option for different cooking methods.
You can stew both fresh and sour cabbage. Or you can mix both types - it will also be very tasty. Or maybe you'll like stewed cauliflower?
There is also a wide field of activity for choosing meat. Add beef, pork, chicken or turkey. Add cold cuts, sausages, and smoked ribs.
Do not give up other vegetables: carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, green peas, bell peppers. All of them go well with the main vegetable and complement its taste.
Do not limit yourself in adding spices and seasonings.
To make the food tastier, I advise you to first fry the meat products directly in the bowl - the multicooker has this function. But if you quickly fry it in a frying pan, a beautiful crust will appear on the pieces, and the juices will be sealed inside. This cannot but have a positive effect on the taste of the dish. The same goes for frying carrots and onions.
Set the cabbage stewing time based on its variety. The young vegetable cooks much faster, in about 25 minutes, then it turns into porridge. Late winter cabbage will require simmering for 40 minutes to an hour.

My regular readers and I have already cooked cabbage in a slow cooker. Made with meat , stewed with potatoes . Check out the other pages, there are a lot of great recipes there. I will be very pleased.

Temperature sensor in a multicooker

Any multicooker, regardless of the manufacturer, Redmond, Polaris or Mulinex, is equipped with two temperature sensors. One is located at the bottom and is in contact with the bottom of the bowl, and the second is in the lid. The temperature inside the multicooker is regulated using sensors. The first sensor reacts to the heating of the bowl itself, and the second is triggered when exposed to steam.

After cooking in a slow cooker, the ingredients do not mix, they turn out aromatic and whole. STEWING is one of the most multifunctional modes. It helps in preparing soups, borscht, cabbage soup, and jellied meat. The dishes come out no worse than grandma's oven. It is used in cases where you need to leave home and there is no one to control the process.

In this mode you can cook:

baked milk;
stew tender fish with vegetables;
stewed meat or liver;
porridge from various cereals;
cabbage rolls

In the STEW mode you can prepare baked milk

Some users claim that this mode is useless, because the dishes take a very long time to prepare. And others, on the contrary, claim that they cannot imagine life without him. You can throw all the ingredients into the bowl and calmly go for a walk with the children, go shopping, or solve any tasks. And the multicooker will make sure that no one is left hungry when they arrive.

To understand which camp you belong to (satisfied or dissatisfied), you should try preparing several dishes. To begin with, you can try stewing meat with vegetables. To do this, you need to fry the meat, a little onion, add the rest of the vegetables and a glass of water. The dish is prepared for an hour or two, thanks to which it will turn out aromatic, juicy and incredibly tasty.

Carrots - a couple.
Tomato paste – 2 large spoons.

How to properly stew cabbage in a saucepan

Some housewives do not know how to stew cabbage in a frying pan or saucepan so that it turns out soft and tasty. Here are some tips to use:

before stewing cabbage, you need to wash the forks, remove the hard leaves, then cut them, cut out the hard core and rinse again;
young cabbage should be stewed for 15 minutes, and more mature cabbage for at least half an hour and it is better to chop it as finely as possible;
so that the cabbage does not fry, but rather stews, you need to add a little water;
Spices play an important role in preparing cabbage, so anise, cumin and dill will not only add taste and aroma to the dish, but will also reduce the risk of gas formation in the intestines after eating the stewed vegetable. Apple cider vinegar will give the dish a sharp-sweet taste, but sauteed onions will add appetite;
cabbage is a self-sufficient vegetable, but not everyone can get enough of stewed cabbage alone, so it’s better to cook it with meat or other ingredients.

Cooking temperature in a slow cooker

Products are cooked at 90-95 degrees Celsius. They don't overcook or dry out. These are optimal conditions for the meat or vegetables that are being cooked to release more juice. If the food is not very juicy, you can add a little water.

You can add a little water

Under the influence of these temperatures, all products melt, so the taste, aroma and most vitamins remain in them. Dishes stewed in a kitchen unit are very healthy, even children can be fed with them.

There are some models of multicookers in which the temperature during stewing is 105-140 degrees. This way you can prepare the dish much faster, but the taste will be slightly different. Each multicooker owner can set the temperature and time based on experience and culinary preferences.

Some compare this mode to cooking in a double boiler, but this is not the same at all. In the first case, the vegetables are simmered, and in the second, they are doused with hot steam. Therefore, the products are whole, healthy, but lack the same taste and aroma as when stewing.
