Multivar and baking
By the way, not all multicookers are suitable forin order to bake in them. The "baking" function must be present. Pots with four modes are of little use, the "frying" or "roasting" mode does not replace baking. In such pots you can warm up pies or fry potatoes, nothing more. Before you think about baking pies, you need to get to know the multicooker better:
- Check whether it is possible to remove the valve. If it is not removed, then it will be difficult to get high-quality pastries, since the moisture from the dough will evaporate for a long time.
- Learn about the time at which the mode is set"Baking", and the possibility of its recurrence without disconnecting the pan. For example, in the multi-bar "Panasonic", it's difficult to repeat the mode at once: the pan needs to be turned off for five minutes. But this does not affect the quality of the pie, since this multivarker is remarkably warm.
- Think about how best to isolate from the futurepie the bottom of the pan pan. The surface of the bowl is very delicate, and if the cake burns, and this happens, it is required to wash the bowl with minimal losses. In the case of sugar, this is almost impossible to do.
It is very good to buy a smooth one for bakingsilicone mat. It is easy to wash, does not spoil the coating of the multicooker, does not smell when heated, and can be used multiple times. If there is no mat, it is enough to put parchment on the bottom of the bowl. Yeast dough cannot be baked in a multicooker. In order for yeast products to be of high quality, they must be placed in a hot oven. But yeast-free baked goods come out wonderful, moderately dried. The probability of burning in a multicooker is reduced to zero. The recipes are given for a saucepan with a capacity of 5 liters.
Sponge cake with apples
The list of recipes starts with apple biscuitpie. If the housewife managed to lose the measuring cup from the multicooker, it is enough to observe the proportions, and the dough will turn out. The recipes are given for a 5-liter multicooker. For 1 pie you will need:
- 4 eggs;
- 2 measuring cups of sugar or 1 normal;
- as much flour;
- a tablespoon of baking powder;
- 2 medium apples;
- a third of a teaspoon of cinnamon;
- salt on the tip of the knife;
- any oil to lubricate the bottom and walls.
Cooking time is one and a half hours.Separate the eggs into whites and yolks. Beat the whites with salt to make them rise better. When you get a thick foam, gradually add sugar. If you use a mixer, you don’t need to set it to maximum speed: the mixture of eggs and sugar should rise in a mound; at high speed it “beats” and begins to spread again. To achieve the desired consistency, beat with a mixer for 10 minutes. Then add one yolk at a time to the whipped whites with sugar, without stopping beating, since the consistency should not change, and then add baking powder, flour and cinnamon. You will have to put the mixer aside: the dough is quite thick, so it is better to mix it with a spoon. After a uniform structure is achieved, put the resulting dough in the refrigerator for a short time and start working on the apples. If you start with the apples, they may darken. Peel the apples and cut into pieces. Many people think that green sour apples are more suitable for an apple pie made from sponge dough, but the variety is not so important in this recipe. The main thing is that they are not very juicy. At the same time as preparing the apples, start working on the multicooker. Place a mat or parchment on the bottom of the pan, grease it with oil and then, setting the "baking" mode, turn on the device. Before pouring the dough into the pan, it needs to be at least slightly heated. While the multicooker is heating up, mix the dough with the apples. Transfer everything into the pan bowl. This operation must be carried out very carefully so that the sponge dough does not settle. Then set the "baking" mode for the time required for cooking the product, 1.5 hours, turn on and close. You can check how the pie is rising no earlier than 50 minutes later, otherwise the dough will fall. The readiness of the pie is determined as usual: pierce it with a match or a toothpick. If the "tester" is dry and comes out easily, the pie is ready. After the product has baked enough, turn off the multicooker and take the bowl out, letting it cool. Then turn it over and put the culinary masterpiece on a plate. You can sprinkle the finished product with powdered sugar. But this already depends on the taste of the consumers.

Beat the eggs with sugar without separating the yolks and whites. Then gradually add melted butter or margarine, kefir or yogurt, cinnamon, baking powder, and flour to the mixture. The butter should be melted naturally. No heating or water bath, so that the butter does not separate. It should be at room temperature when added to the dough.
