Buckwheat is quite easy to prepare, especially if you know a few useful secrets.
Buckwheat is a fairly common dish in the daily diet. It is useful and suitable even for those who follow a diet.
We will list simple rules that will be useful to you when cooking buckwheat porridge.
How to cook buckwheat in a bag – the fastest cooking method
This cooking is suitable for those who have little time. Take one bag of buckwheat, 1.5 liters of water, salt, and butter. Pour water into a pot, when it boils, salt it and put the bag with buckwheat. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes without a lid on low heat. After that, take the bag out of the pot and let the water drain off. Cut the bag, put the buckwheat into a bowl, and add the butter.
How to boil buckwheat in water – proportions
The dish is cooked in a ratio of 1:2, that is, a glass of groats – 2 cups of water. And for thicker buckwheat porridge, take more water – up to three cups.
How to cook buckwheat in a pot so that it does not stick to the bottom
Place buckwheat and water in the pot. After boiling, turn down the heat. Turn off after 20 minutes – that’s how long to boil buckwheat.
You can throw the groats in the boiling water and cook for up to 20 minutes on low heat and do not stir the porridge.
Buckwheat in multicooker – how to cook it
Cooking buckwheat in the multicooker is quick and easy. Put a glass of buckwheat, pour water, and a little salt in the multicooker. Cook in the mode “groats” for 30 minutes. As noted by the chef and cook Eugene Klopotenko, it is in the multicooker buckwheat will come out crumbly.
Klopotenko also told me how to cook soaked buckwheat. According to him, it’s a sort of know-how. Buckwheat should be put in water for 5-6 hours. It can also be done overnight. He noted that you need water, as in cooking – the proportion of 1:2. If the liquid is not fully absorbed – strain it.
