​@@acidheadzzzI think he does a great job and very informative

Just what I needed, I really don't look at the measurements on the rice cooker 😅

Thanks 😊 for the measurements.

Thanks for watching and sharing. All my best to you and happy cooking!

💯🙌

Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching! All my best to you 🙏

Glad it helped! Happy cooking 🧑‍🍳

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.

So glad you found it helpful. I’m big into grains, too. Have you ever tried teff? If it’s not on your radar, here’s my primer: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7Giqpdptt2UoZs.html

@@IWantToCook So funny I purchased some a while back but had a defeat in the cooking process!! The bag has been sitting in in the cupboard of neglect ever since.!! I will check out your video. Many Thanks.

Glad to hear! Thanks much for watching :-)

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy it 😀

@@IWantToCook Of course! No problem! 😊just keep being awesome! 😎

Fantastic! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙏 . Happy cooking!

Thanks for watching 🙏

Thanks for watching!

You are correct: I wish I had mentioned this. If I recall, the kind I was using was no-rinse, but yes, please always check the label. Thanks for noting this.

Exactly let it soak for 2 hours then rinse it well then cook it.

Because it wasn’t necessary. Most non-bulk quinoa has already been rinsed, at least here in the U.S. To be sure, just look for any instructions on the package. Cheers.

Right on! Sounds like a great collection. I absolutely love CorningWare and have tons of the vintage Pyroceramic stuff. It is hands-down the most versatile cookware I know of. I buy it at thrift stores for just a few dollars. The Blue Cornflower is my favorite pattern - just timeless.

Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you enjoy dinner :)

It’s certainly optional, and I do the same with rice. It imparts a hint of tang and I believe it helps the grains not clump. Maybe give it a try and see if it works for you. Thanks for watching and happy cooking! 🙏

@@IWantToCook thanks I will definitely give it a try ok.

Oh please don’t apologize - those are great questions! I have found the texture to be consistent when using the same ratios. As for time, it will likely vary just as with rice, with a larger batch cooking longer. Rice cookers have an internal sensor that will shut off the heat (the cooking) and go into a keep warm mode once the rice has absorbed the water. Hope this helps! 🙏

@@IWantToCook Thank you so much for your super fast reply and kindness! That's very helpful! I plan to be making bigger batches of quinoa. If I double the quinoa in the rice cooker, do I also double the water or should I use a little less than double? Also, I am planning to buy a rice cooker. Do you have an affiliate link? Thanks again! :)

My pleasure! You don't necessarily need to double the water; you can use a bit less. I'd go same ratio as rice, so if you have a measuring guide, just use that. And here's a cool thing when you get that rice cooker: They have those built-in measuring lines for the water. So you just use those to measure according to how much rice you want. For example, for 3 rice cooker cups of rice (a rice cooker cup is 3/4 standard cup), you just fill to the 3-cup line mark inside the rice cooker. Simple, yeah?! I don't have any affiliate links (maybe i should get on that, lol) but i personally bought this rice cooker 10 years ago and still use it multiple times a week. I think the extra money for stainless steel post vs. nonstick is well worth it. It cleans up so easily and still looks like new! a.co/d/5EbqD2I

@@IWantToCook Yes, I don't like nonstick either. You should look into doing affiliate links and see if it is for you. Thanks for the link! I will definitely look at it. I really appreciate all your help. Thank you!

Correct - that used to always be recommended. These days that isn’t always the case, but be sure to go with what the package advises. Cheers!

Yep, that should be totally fine. Sometimes I substitute white wine vinegar or rice vinegar. Enjoy!

You certainly can. Some brands recommend rinsing to get rid of a powdery residue. I found no such issue with this type of quinoa, but absolutely - rinse your quinoa if desired.

Yes, it adds a bit of tang and also can help prevent clumping. Works the same with rice. Thanks for watching!

I believe so but have actually never tried. Sounds like another video 😀

Yep, that should work!

Correct. Some modern quinoa does not require rinsing. That said, always look at the package of your particular quinoa and follow its guidelines. Cheers!

I find the vinegar adds a nice tang and can help the grains separate when fluffed. Give it a try! Thanks for watching 🙏

Good question, and I'm sorry i did not address that in video. I'd say it's up to you, and to follow any instructions on your particular package. I use quinoa that does NOT require rinsing, and thus I didn't do so. But by all means, rinse if you want to. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching.

Hahaha

As with rice, I find it helps keep the grains from clumping too much and adds a little tang. Totally up to you if you want to add.

I find it gives better taste and helps separate the grains, same as using it when making rice. It’s totally optional.

As with rice, oatmeal, and other grains, I don’t think the order matters since the water and grains are heating together from the start.

Good observation! In retrospect, yes I would advise rinsing before cooking. Depending on where the quinoa is sourced from, it might have dust or impurities that could affect quality and taste. If that’s the case, rinsing can wash those off.

Modern quinoa doesn’t always need it. Read the package for direction on that if in doubt. This kind here was pre-rinsed. Cheers!

Yes, adding a few drops to the water should be fine. I use a teaspoon of vinegar myself when making rice. Cheers!

Generally yes. I personally measure rice with the rice cooker cup (it’s 3/4 of a cup), and then I fill with water (or broth) to the corresponding line inside pot. For example, for 3 rice cooker cups of rice, I fill to the 3-cup line with liquid. Hope that helps! 🙏

What if you only want one cup?

Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to that. Maybe a medical professional reading this can weigh in. Cheers 🙏

@@IWantToCook thanks for replying

It helps the grains not clump and adds some brightness due to the sourness. Your call whether you want to add it or not.

@@IWantToCook I will give it a try

It depends on the brand and where you buy it. Some packages say "pre-washed" and in that case it isn't necessary. Be sure to look on the package, and if in doubt feel free to rinse.

It can vary respective to each rice cooker's size. Thus the built-in numbering in the cooking bowl. For a very general ratio, though, you can use 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of quinoa. Thanks for watching and happy cooking.

You can always adjust to your preference. Cheers!

Good point I should have mentioned: Read the label. Nowadays, some quinoa does not require another rinsing, but by all means, rinse if desired or if the labeling instructs you to do so. Cheers!

Vineagar adds a little bite of flavor thanks to its sour nature, and can also help prevent the grains from clumping. Works on rice, too, and is totally optional.

Can you use ACV?

As I’ve mentioned in other comments here, it depends. Nowadays that is not always the case, and the package should specify. But by all means, even if the package says no rinsing is needed, you can feel free to do so. Cheers. 👍

I really should have mentioned this in the video. The long held advice is to rinse quinoa to get rid of its natural coating called saponin, which some people find bitter. But some boxed quinoa is pre-rinsed, so this step isn’t necessary, if you desire it at all. My advice is to follow the instructions on your particular box. If it’s pre-rinsed yet you still find the cooked quinoa bitter, try rinsing more. Thanks for watching and happy cooking 🙏

Not yet, but I am seriously considering a Flowbee. From what I infer of your comment, maybe that would be an upgrade...

I have to agree, and I made the video! That was among my earlier efforts. I’m learning to cut to the chase. Thanks for watching.

@@IWantToCook LOL sorry man that sounded meaner than I meant for it. I was just frustrated while trying to cook dinner. I actually ended up watching the whole video still and thought you did a great job explaining. (Quinoa turned out great too FYI lol)

Woohoo! Glad it turned out well!
