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.
