Milk porridge mode in a multicooker, how many degrees. Temperature conditions in the Polaris multicooker

Updated 09/21/2017

Multicookers are versatile devices that have many different functions. They know how to boil, fry and stew food, as well as steam. Each process has a specific program, and each of these programs has a specific temperature. More on this below...

Baking mode. When this mode is activated, the system sets the temperature in the range of 118-122 degrees (this value may differ slightly in different models). In this case, the user will not be able to set his own temperature parameter. In this mode, it is set by the program, and it can no longer be changed during the cooking process. This mode with this temperature is perfect for cooking pies, pizza and various sponge cakes. Do you want to make a delicious charlotte with apples? Choose the baking mode – that’s what it’s designed for.

Steam cooking is the second program. Don't confuse it with a steamer. There are many differences between a multicooker and a double boiler, and it makes no sense to compare these devices. The steam mode operates at a temperature of 115-120 degrees. Depending on the type of dish, the cooking process lasts from 10 to 60 minutes. This mode is suitable for preparing dietary food, steamed cutlets, for example.

Frying. In this mode, the heating temperature is 100-160 degrees. Unlike other modes, this one works when the lid is open. This program is powerful, so you need to handle it carefully. It is better to start frying at low temperatures and increase it as it cooks. Otherwise, the dish may simply burn.

Pasta – The program operates at a temperature of 116-120 degrees and can last 8-20 minutes. Suitable for making sauces and gravies.

Special mode for cereals – 110 degrees. It does not allow you to adjust any parameters, but the program itself is correct. With its help you can make the perfect crumbly porridge.

Milk porridge – program with heating up to 95 degrees. Usually the mode works for 30 minutes, but for some porridges this is not enough. You can simply reactivate the mode or add minutes if the functionality supports it.

Braising – 95 degrees. This function assumes operation from 2 to 8 hours. Judging by the reviews, this program is not the best, because... works for a long time. Its excellent analogue is “multi-cook” - this is a similar mode that copes with the carcass much faster.

Soup – a program for cooking soup, which assumes a temperature of 95 degrees. It works for 8 hours. You should already be convinced that a multicooker is not for quick cooking.

Yogurt – works at a low temperature of 38-40 degrees. In fact, the device only maintains this parameter and activates or deactivates heating every 20-30 minutes. Preparation of yogurt is described in the recipe book included with the multicooker.

“Multi-cook” mode at a temperature of 40-160 degrees with the ability to adjust. This is a universal program that allows you to cook anything: baked goods, soups, stews, etc.

Dessert– for making caramel, sweets and other sweets. Temperature can be adjusted according to recipe.

A lot has already been said about the multicooker as a progressive kitchen appliance. More, perhaps, was said only about recipes for it - after all, at the moment, the number of dishes regularly prepared using this device confidently exceeds a couple of thousand (according to special sites).


However, the ability to create and develop various new recipes for a multicooker is directly related to only one of its main properties - versatility. Or rather, multi-mode.


It is this that allows you to approach the issue of such “technological” cooking creatively, generating the nuances of a particular recipe depending on the task assigned to the device - temperature, time and, in fact, the mode.




At the moment, even budget multicookers, presented, for example, on the website - http://ek.ua/m746.htm, are “full” of a wide variety of automatic and manual modes. And, to be honest, not everyone manages to deal with them. As a rule, housewives adapt to 1-2 modes and cook their favorite dishes exclusively “on them”, thereby actually limiting themselves in the freedom of culinary imagination.


Of course, only the most ardent fans of the device use 100% of the capabilities of the multicooker, but we will try to at least slightly expand your “regime horizons” and tell you what characterizes certain settings of this amazing device.

1. Multicook

Typically, “multi-cook” is the only manual control mode for a multi-cooker. With its help, uniform heating of the bowl is set (without any “conditional” shutdowns), and the temperature and time are controlled directly by you. This is very convenient, since only the chef himself can judge the properties of the products placed in the device.


It often turns out that, for example, a meat stew that is stewed turns out raw - in such a situation, the “multi-cook” will help you quickly bring it to readiness (you can raise the temperature and set a short time, 5-10 minutes).

2. Heating

One of the basic modes, which, as a rule, turns on already in standby mode. The bowl heats up to approximately 60-75 degrees, and the device maintains it until another mode is turned on or until you turn off the multicooker itself.


The main purpose of this mode is to maintain the temperature of an already prepared dish, however, some use heating even for emergency defrosting or melting (heating) butter.

3. Baking

Another “gentle” mode. The temperature set is not very high (within 140-170 degrees), however, with prolonged exposure to the space of the multicooker bowl, this works as a plus - the baked goods are baked very evenly and under no circumstances burns.


The only problem is moisture removal. Therefore, experienced cooks recommend periodically checking your sponge cake (or anything else) during the cooking process by opening the lid.

4. Braising

This mode is often used for preparing broths, soups, stews, hams and other dishes that require maintaining the temperature “just above the boiling point” for a long time.


This is the longest mode of the multicooker. Sometimes it allows you to set the cooking time yourself, but otherwise it “sets” at least 90-100 minutes.

5. Frying



In this mode, the multicooker turns into a deep frying pan, located as if on an electric stove.


The device actively heats the walls of the bowl to maximum temperatures (above 200 degrees), so that the product immediately begins to “set” on one side.


By the way, this mode is often used when the lid of the device is open - this way the frying effect is manifested even better, without the feeling of “cooked food”.

6. Steam

Often this mode is divided into two fundamentally different modes.


The first is an ordinary double boiler: you install a special grate in the bowl, on which you place food, and pour water into the bottom. The water boils and pours hot steam over everything, which then comes out through a special valve.


It is suitable, for example, for fish fillets or vegetables.


The second is a “pressure cooker”. In this mode, the valve does not release all the steam, and an area of ​​excess pressure is created inside - thereby cooking food faster, but less “gently”. It is used for dishes that require more active thermal effects. For example, for meat or manti, dumplings.

7. Side dish

Sometimes it is called differently - “buckwheat”. But this mode is specifically for side dishes from various cereals (rice, pearl barley) or legumes.


Its trick is that it aims to gradually evaporate moisture (part of which, of course, is absorbed into the product). When there is no liquid left in the multicooker bowl, the device automatically turns on the heating mode.




By the way, for some reason many people use the “side dish” mode for preparing porridge. This is a mistake, since porridge, of course, does not require complete “removal” of the liquid. In this case, water (or milk) must be added periodically.


A “multi-cooker” (approximately 40 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees) or a special “porridge” mode, which is equipped with many modern multi-cookers, including those presented in the E-katalog online store, are better suited.


Of course, these are not all the modes available when working with modern multicookers. However, as experienced users say, the various “innovative settings” are just small changes made to the standard modes. Therefore, you can always set everything up manually - just don’t forget to read the instructions!

Cooking temperatures in mode "Multicook"

On the Internet there is plate from another MV- the temperature for some modes is given there.

Steaming: 115 - 120 degrees

Frying: 100 - 160 degrees

Paste: 118 - 120 degrees

Groats: 110 degrees

Pilaf: 120 - 125 degrees

Milk porridge: 90 degrees

Extinguishing: 90 degrees

Soup: 90 degrees

Bakery 118 - 122 degrees

Baking program
Bakery- works at a temperature of 118 - 122 degrees, the temperature is not adjustable, the program is designed for 50 minutes, there is no way to decrease or increase it unless you press the “Cancel” button. Biscuits, cakes, pies with batter, and pizza are more successful in this program.

The program is ideal, the signature dish at home is charlotte with apples, from the same charlotte dough you can make any other pie with fruits and berries. Just a great dessert for kids.

Steaming- 115-120 degrees, cooking time is adjustable from 5 minutes to 1 hour.

Frying– temperature is adjustable from 100 to 160 degrees, time is adjustable from 10 minutes to 1 hour. You can fry with the lid open. Quite a powerful program, start with a low temperature, and then increase until the best result, otherwise there is a risk that everything will burn. Fried potatoes, ideal in a slow cooker.

Paste 118-120 degrees, time from 8 minutes to 20 minutes. You can prepare sauces, gravies, pasta.

Groats- 110 degrees, time 25 minutes, nothing is adjustable. An ideal program indeed. I had problems with the first cartoon with this program, everything was browned in it, but then it turned out to be a perfectly crumbly porridge.

Milk porridge- 95 degrees, from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. Sometimes 30 minutes is not enough, for corn grits you need all 50 minutes, you have to add it later. And so the program is ideal, you can cook any milk porridge.

Extinguishing- 93 degrees, from 2 to 8 hours. The program is unsuccessful, it takes a very long time to cook, so I often replace it with the “multi-cook” program, with the time set (40 minutes) and the temperature at 110 degrees), so it’s faster to simmer.

Soup- 93 degrees, from 1 hour to 8 hours. I don’t know what kind of soup can be cooked for so long, but I don’t have enough patience, the temperature is low, I replace this program with a multi-cooker with a time setting (30 minutes) and a temperature of 140 degrees.

Yogurt– temperature 38-40 degrees, constantly maintains it. I watched the multicooker in this mode for some time. Every about 20-30 minutes, the multi automatically turns on and warms up, then sleeps and turns on again, and so on for the whole 8 hours. How to make yogurt is written here.

Multicook– temperature from 40 degrees to 160, time from 5 minutes to 12 hours, my favorite program in which you can cook anything, from soups to baked goods.

Pizza– time from 20 minutes to 50 minutes. A terrible program, pizza comes out on it, in general, the crust burns on this program. And eat it as if it were a cracker. I do not recommend it for raw pizza; it is better to make the pizza in the baking mode for 40 minutes. I don’t know the temperature, but it’s definitely above 120.

Oatmeal(for quick oatmeal preparation, 10-30 minutes),

Dessert(for making jams, preserves, caramel, sweets, marmalade, etc., cooking time is 1-4 hours, adjustable).

Baking, time from 10 minutes to 30 minutes. The program helps bake vegetables, meat, mushrooms, etc.

Crust, time from 1-2 hours, adjustable. Helps create a crust on any dish. That is, it cooks until golden brown.

Beans, time 1-4 hours, adjustable, intended for cooking legumes: peas, beans, lentils, etc.
There is also a heating program and a separate button that helps keep the dish warm.
