Technology has improved so many areas of modern life, and cooking is no exception. Now there are many versatile cooking gadgets are available that make the life easy. Such one is multi cooker.
What is a Multi Cooker?
A multi cooker is exactly how it sounds. It is an electronic cooking appliance that is designed to cater to a range of functions all on its own. This something as simple as a kettle or toaster, but a multi cooker has the capacity to cook and prepare food in a huge variety of styles.
It is a wonderful option for those who do not have a lot of time to spare in their day. Instead of standing by supervising a dish, one has the option of simply piling in the ingredients and selecting the most appropriate program among a list of others to get the job done.
Multi cookers can help with a whole range of culinary tasks, from simple vegetable steaming and supposedly simple rice cooking (it’s a difficult one to get right!) to anything from frying, slow cooking and even smoking.
Due to the fact that multi cookers are an electronic product, they can be totally programmable too. If you know you are arriving home from work at a certain time, you can set your food to heat up and be ready when you are walking in the door.

What to Cook in Multi Cooker?
Multi cooker is electric, it can be programmed to cook a multitude of foods and turn them out perfectly. Pressure, temperature and time can either be automatically set depending on a preset that you select, or they can be manually controlled if you prefer.

Some types of cookers may come with an automatic stirrer, especially if air frying is an important function.
