How to cook dumplings in a multivark: three ways

With the advent of the multicooker, other unitsfor cooking (frying pans, saucepans, steamers) began to gather dust in kitchen bins. Of course, this miracle helper is so versatile that some manufacturers of household appliances seriously think that soon humanity will stop using kitchen stoves. In a multicooker, it is easy to bake pies, and make a second course, and make porridge for the baby, you can even cook dumplings in it in several ways.

How to cook dumplings in steam mode

Each device comes with a speciala plastic basket that is designed for cooking all kinds of dishes using steam. It is especially popular with those who prefer healthy and proper nutrition, because food cooked this way has a great taste and does not lose its nutritional value. Dumplings are cooked in this mode as follows:

A multivark and a cooking basket are prepared.

Water is poured into the unit, about 1.5 liters is needed.

Salt and spices are added to the water.

A plastic basket is placed in the multivark.

To dumplings do not stick to the basket, it is lubricated with oil.

The semi-finished product is neatly placed in the basket with a layer.

It's being solicited.

The multivar is closed, the mode "On Steam" is put.

Some multicookers have programs forcooking various products with steam, if your unit is not among them (it does not have a program - cooking semi-finished products), then set the time yourself (30 minutes will be enough). When the bell rings about the end of the process, carefully remove your dish; it is best to do this with a special spatula, by the way, it is also often included in the kit.

Soup Mode in the Multivariate

In this case, the products will be cooked in water. To cook food in the "Soup" mode, you need to:

Pour the water. The formula is simple: the more products, the more it is.

Add salt and spices.

Then the device needs to be closed, and then set the desired mode.

After seven minutes, water will boil, open the multivark and pour the pelmeni (mix them, close the unit).

During cooking, stir again the semi-finished products so that they do not stick together.

Cook should be before the timer signal (an average of thirty minutes).

Baking Mode in the Multivariate

You can also cook semi-finished products in a multicooker using this mode. The method is, of course, unusual, but the dumplings turn out excellent: the product is first “golden”, and then boiled:

Put one tablespoon of creamy (although suitable and vegetable) oil on the bottom.

Fill the frozen dumplings.

Close the appliance.

Set the "Baking" mode.

Specify the cooking time (this time the optimal value is 40 minutes).

After about 10 minutes mix the dumplings, pepper and salt.

Pour in two glasses of water.

Close the appliance.

Cook the product in the multivark for another half an hour.

By the way, if you don’t add water, the dumplingswill be completely crispy and golden. I would also like to note that it is strictly forbidden to stir the product with metal spoons, spatulas and forks. It is better to use a wooden utensil for this. The finished dish can be served with broth and finely chopped onions, or you can generously season it all with sour cream. Now you know how to cook dumplings in a multicooker. Now I would like to remind you how to make them. For the dish you will need:

Meat of different kinds.

Onion.

One egg.

Salt.

Three glasses of flour.

Butter.

Ground black pepper.

Water.

Pour the previously prepared mixture into a glass of floura mixture of a broken egg and water, knead the dough, by the way, you can do the procedure using a bread maker. While your dough is "resting", start preparing the minced meat. Grind the meat and onion through a meat grinder, add pepper, salt, 2 tablespoons of cold water; mix the resulting mixture well. You can mold the dumplings manually or use molds.
