Can I Cook Quinoa in a Rice Cooker?
Rice cookers are usually used to make rice but they have many other uses. Quinoa is an example of something you can experiment in a rice cooker. Rice cookers work because of the spring-loaded thermal sensor they have at the bottom of the metal pot. During cooking, the rice and water mixture is heated to full power, and once the temperature reaches 100 °C, it means that all the water has boiled and been absorbed by the rice, and the rest has evaporated. At this point, the steam will continue to cook the rice so it expands.
Here is an example of how to cook quinoa in a rice cooker
First, wash a cup of quinoa in a fine strainer under cold water. Next, put the quinoa in a rice cooker. Then, add two cups o a liquid (better if it is chicken broth) and ½ teaspoon of salt in the rice cooker. Cook for about 15 minutes. Last, let the quinoa rest for 5 minutes.
Therefore, the correct ratio would be 1 cup of uncooked quinoa to 2 cups of liquid.
