General principles for making a pie in a slow cooker according to a quick recipe
Pie in a slow cooker is a separate topic for conversation. Some of its types are obtained better in the oven, for example, cabbage pie. But biscuit pies come out better in the slow cooker, as they rise high and it is impossible to dry them.
When cooking, you should consider some points:
1) Lack of preheating to high temperature, unlike an oven. We put pies in it when the temperature has reached 220 degrees.
2) Lack of overhead heating. Because of this, it does not work in dishes of the upper golden crust. But experienced housewives come out of this situation as follows:
• turn the cake on the other side and set for another time;
• sprinkle with powdered sugar on top or smear with cream, icing or chocolate chips;
• served with the side fried up.
It is also necessary to consider the power of your electric assistant and the volume of the bowl. The cooking time will depend on the power, and its quantity will depend on the volume. Adjust the proportions based on the capabilities of your device.
In almost all cases, to cook a quick recipe for a pie in a slow cooker, it is necessary to set the "Baking" mode, for some models the "Multi-cook" mode is suitable.
