Sometimes when you cook all the time, our knowledge gets the best of us. We sometimes assume people know how to cook the basic things. Things like Quinoa, Brown Rice, different various food items that everyday kitchen staples that we know how to cook others may not. I made a short how-to video with the help of A258Production owned by Carrie Montoney, we created a very impromptu How to Video. This is something I plan to expand with, so to all you loyal readers, keep on watching! Enjoy!

HOW TO COOK QUINOA
1 cup of quinoa, white, tri-colored, mixed
2 cups of water
1 tight fitted lid with saucepan
Mesh strainer
Measure 1 cup of quinoa and put into the mesh strainer. Rinse the quinoa with cold water for about a minute or two to rinse off the bitter coating on the seeds.
Add 2 cups of cold water into a saucepan with a tight fit lid, heat water over high heat till boiling.
Add the rinsed quinoa and let the water resume boiling, then reduce to low heat. Cover with lid and cook for 20 minutes. Do not stir, open and remove the lid to peek. Leave the pan alone. The water will evaporate.
The quinoa seeds will burst open when cooked completely.
After 20 minutes, turn off heat and let quinoa rest for ten minutes.
Transfer quinoa to a dish using a fork to remove from pan to prevent clumping. Do not use a spatula or spoon as it will mush the quinoa together.
