The photos below tell the whole story. I began by cooking the onions and the sheep meat in the regular non-stick frying pan. (Sauteed with a little bit of olive oil, as I recall.) Then, I carefully placed the onion & meat mixture in the bottom of the 2000mL beaker, followed by a layer of carrots, and a layer of rice. Then, I filled the container with enough water to cover the rice. Then the contents of the beaker was heated until the rice was completed. This entire process required over 90 minutes.
The end result really did not appear like something I would want to eat, but I went ahead and inverted the beaker into a bowl anyway...
Then, for the grand finale, the beaker was removed, and there, laying in the bowl, was my first attempt at plov.
Just lovely, isn't it? After a few days of trying to eat it, I changed it into something else. I added vegetables, some cow meat, and my favorite Edamame beans, and ended up with an unusual Turkmen stir-fry combination...
