Multicookers have become indispensable assistants in the kitchen due to their versatility and ease of use.
Regular use of such an assistant in the kitchen led to some housewives frankly "relaxing" and starting to make mistakes. Therefore, it is worth remembering several products that are unacceptable to cook in a multicooker, as this can cause food poisoning.
Eggs
Eggs can be a source of salmonella bacteria, especially if they are not cooked thoroughly enough. Of course, eggs can be cooked properly in a slow cooker, but a certain risk remains in any case.
Dairy products
The temperature in the slow cooker may not be sufficient to kill pathogens that may be present in dairy products. There is also a rational reason not to add them to the slow cooker, as the cooking temperature may not be sufficient.
Fish and seafood
Cooking fish and seafood in a slow cooker is also not recommended due to the risk of food poisoning.
A slow cooker may not provide a high enough temperature for safe cooking. Fish and seafood must be cooked at high temperatures. The bacteria inside them can be a real danger.
Cereals and legumes
Although grains and legumes are safe to cook in a slow cooker, you need to be careful about the food to water ratio.
The wrong ratio can result in grains or legumes not being cooked through properly. Of course, this mistake can be made even if you cook grains and legumes using the standard method.
Frozen meat
Adding frozen meat to a slow cooker is the worst idea. The problem is that it may not cook properly.
Therefore, the risk of serious food poisoning is significantly increased.
Previously, we talked about which foods should not be consumed with coffee.
