Meat Porridge Cooked in an Autoclave
Canned homemade porridges are an excellent option for a ready meal made from natural ingredients, which can be easily reheated in a skillet or microwave. By cooking porridges in an autoclave at home, you can quickly and effortlessly prepare a large quantity of tasty, nutritious, and hearty canned food from various grains. The most common types are buckwheat, rice, and pearl barley. However, there are virtually no restrictions on the types of grains.
How to Cook Porridge in an Autoclave
Traditionally, winter canned porridges are prepared with meat. For a richer flavor, it is better to fry the pieces of meat. Also, the meat should be cut into large chunks; otherwise, it will fall apart into fibers during sterilization. You can add not only whole meat but also minced meat (especially good with pearl barley). You can prepare porridge in its pure form, add a sauté, make various sauces, or season with sautéed vegetables or tomato paste.
The high-temperature pressure sterilization process significantly simplifies the preparation of canned porridge. You can place raw grains in the jars—they will cook perfectly in the autoclave. However, the volume of the grains with sauce and meat should not exceed ½ of the jar—during cooking, the porridge will expand and ultimately fill the entire jar. Fill the jars with water, leaving 2 centimeters free at the top—taking into account the increase in volume. The temperature and cooking time depend on the type of grain. We have prepared a table of parameters for the autoclave with the most common types of grains:
Type of Grain | Cooking Time (minutes) | Temperature (°C)
Rice | 40 | 110
Buckwheat | 40 | 110
Pearl Barley | 40 | 110
Peas | 30 | 110

Rice porridge with meat in an autoclave is prepared as follows: divide the thoroughly washed wings into 2 parts (cut each wing at the joint). Separate the thin and bulky parts. Boil the thin parts to make broth without salt. Pour 250 ml of the ready broth into each clean jar intended for canning.
Next, peel and slice the onions into half-rings. Wash, peel, and grate the carrots. Sauté the carrots with the onions, adding the large pieces of wings. After that, mix the ingredients with the thoroughly washed rice.
Add 4 peppercorns and 1 bay leaf to the broth in the jars. Then add the mixture of chicken and rice. Place the butter on top and season with salt to taste. Seal the jars with metal lids and proceed to sterilize them in the autoclave.

Heat the oil in a pan (preferably to boiling), add sugar and salt. Carefully add the onions and carrots. Sauté them for about 10 minutes. Wash and dry the rice. Add the rice to the jars, place a layer of tomatoes and peppers on top, and then add the sauté. Alternatively, you can mix all the ingredients beforehand and then pack them into the jars.
