Porridge is a very common and popular food in people's daily life. It is not only a food for people to fill their stomachs, but also a very good tonic. People who have just recovered from a serious illness or have problems with their intestines can drink porridge to regulate their body. Cooking porridge in an electric stew pot is a common method. So how long does it take to cook porridge in an electric stew pot? Let me introduce it below.

Taking rice porridge as an example, it usually takes about 40 minutes to cook porridge in an electric stew pot. If it is ingredients such as beans, it will take longer.

Tips for making porridge in an electric stew pot:

1. Soak: Soak the rice in cold water for half an hour before cooking porridge to allow the rice grains to expand.

The benefits of doing this are: a. Save time when cooking the porridge; b. It will turn in one direction when stirred; c. The porridge will be crispy and have a good taste.

2. Put the porridge into boiling water: Because it will not get burnt at the bottom and it saves time than cooking porridge with cold water.

3. Heat: Bring to a boil over high heat first, then simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. Don’t underestimate the change in the size of the fire, as it brings out the aroma of the porridge.

4. Stirring: The purpose of stirring is to make the porridge "thick", that is, to make each rice grain full and crispy. The skill of stirring is: stir a few times when putting the boiling water into the pot, cover the pot and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, then start stirring constantly, and continue for about 10 minutes, until it becomes crispy and thick.

5. Add oil: About 10 minutes after the porridge is turned to low heat, add a little salad oil. You will find that not only the finished porridge is bright in color, but also tastes extra fresh and smooth.

6. Cook the base and ingredients separately: Most people are accustomed to pouring everything into the pot at once when cooking porridge, but the porridge base should be the porridge base, and the ingredients should be the ingredients. They should be cooked separately, and then put together and simmered for a while at the end, and never for more than 10 minutes. The porridge cooked in this way is clear and not turbid, and the flavor of each ingredient is brought out without any mixture of flavors. Especially when the side dishes are meat and seafood, the porridge base and side dishes should be separated.
