Happy owners of slow cookers with the function of steaming will also easily cope with the preparation of these cutlets. The only disadvantage is that it turns out a small portion, in a steamer you can make a dish for a large family.
If you don't have a steamer or a slow cooker, use the method that our mothers and grandmothers cooked. This will require an iron colander and a saucepan. Just set it over a pan of water so that the water does not reach the bottom, and cook on low heat under the lid, putting the products in a colander.
If you don't have an iron colander, too, then you can put the cutlets in a frying pan, pour boiling water to half and simmer them on low heat for a specified time.
