Pilaf in a slow cooker is prepared quite simply, and the taste is not inferior to the traditional version in a cauldron. Almost every multicooker has a Pilaf program, the temperature regime of which, as a rule, changes specifically for high-quality rice preparation: first, strong heating, then the average cooking temperature and final simmering. The result is a fluffy, rich and soft pilaf. At the same time, it is very important to observe the proportions of cereals and liquid, so as not to get porridge, namely the necessary friability.
Ingredients
Cooking process
It is important to rinse the rice well in cool water before cooking pilaf. We do this either under running water, or by placing the cereal in a bowl and changing the water. In any case, it is necessary to ensure that the water that flows down after rinsing is transparent. This will mean that most of the starch has been washed off the rice - and this is exactly what allows you to achieve the desired friability.
Depending on the type of rice, the proportions of water and cereals are as follows: parboiled rice does not need soaking, it is enough to rinse it well. For 500 grams of such rice, 750 milliliters of water is required. We pre-soak Krasnodar rice for an hour, after which we rinse and observe the proportions with water in a one-to-one ratio. Long grain rice can also be pre-soaked to speed up cooking. After soaking, take one and a half glasses of water for one glass of rice. If long-grain rice has not been soaked, then we take two glasses of water for one glass of rice.
In general, it is important to understand the principle: the softer and more starchy rice, the less water it needs to cook. The minimum proportion with liquid is one to one. If we are talking about tougher long-grain types of cereals, then more water should be taken - two measures of water to one measure of rice. If any rice has been previously soaked, then the measure of water is reduced by a quarter.
Bon Appetit!
