Ingredients

All you need it water, cornmeal, milk and condensed milk.

We also use vanilla extract, berries, cinnamon and nutmeg for extra taste but you can get a tasty porridge without even if you don't use them.

I don't have a "porridge" button. What should I do?

If you don't have a porridge option, you can press the "manual" or "pressure cook" button and cook on high pressure for 7 minutes.

Then wait for a natural release, open the lid, and add condensed milk.

    Your video & printed recipe don’t quite match each other with water amounts, milk & time. Can you please tell me which is the correct version?
    BTW, I love your videos & recipes. Thanks for sharing.

  2. You list “milk” in the recipe, but nowhere in the directions, only sweetened condensed. Where does the milk come in?
