Why you can't cook crumbly groats: don't make these mistakes

If we are talking about rice or buckwheat, these cereals should be crumbly. But very often, after cooking, you get one solid lump. All this is due to several mistakes that even experienced housewives often make.

The FoodOboz editorial team will tell you how to cook rice and buckwheat correctly to make the cereal crumbly. There are several important nuances to consider.

Do not cook the cereal immediately

To make the product crumbly, toast it in a dry, preheated pan before cooking. The finished cereal will not only have a good texture, but also flavor. This step will take you only a few minutes.

Don't mess with the proportions

The consistency of the cooked cereal depends on whether you follow the proportions. There should not be too little or too much water. The optimal ratio is one serving of product to two servings of water.

Do not put cereal in cold water

To make rice or buckwheat crumbly, put the product in boiling water only. The grains will not stick together and will taste great.

Do not stir the cereal too much

It is active and frequent stirring that will cause the cereal to stick together. Only one time will be enough. The groats should simply cook over moderate heat for 15-20 minutes under a lid.
