Any product with a small amount of spices acquires a luxurious "restaurant" taste. And relentlessly follow the process of "ripening" of the dish is not required. To prepare a fragrant dish, pour 250-300 ml of water into the multicooker bowl. We put the grate inside and the pre-cooked ingredients of the dish in a special container. The lid of the multicooker "Redmond-4506" tightlyclose and block. Be sure to check that the steam release valve is closed. We start the program.

This mode of operation can be used for deep-fried cooking, if you pour a large amount of oil into the bowl and heat it up to 130-200 degrees.
