How to cook amaranth?

Good question. I ruined one bag just learning how to cook Amaranth the proper way. I did follow the instructions and didn't work very well. I ended up with a mess. What I did was added extra water to the ratio indicated in the package. Also, I eat the thing raw. I sprinkle it over salads and it tastes very good. I hope this helps.

Just boiling it is useless. Mix with other grains, pre-cook it up to 15 mins, chill, add spices, eggs, form burgers, then lightly fry. You'll never forget this!!!

I just put it in water to boil, then it cools down, and to the fridge. Tne next days I add two or three soup spoons to my morning shakes.. just add water, a fruit like mango, papaya, banana, pineapple. or strawberries, etc. and stevia. It has more calcium than milk, strenghten your bones and your health in general.

Easily. Just rinse the amaranth off first using a strainer with a very fine mesh--you'll lose some otherwise. Then put the rinsed amaranth into a pot, add an adequate amount of water (you can cook it to be 'dry' like rice or 'wet' like a porridge), bring it to a boil and then lower to a simmer and cover. (I usually leave mine on the stove for about 20 minutes and it's done.) Essentially, prepare it like you would brown rice. It is very nutty when cooked 'dry' and like oatmeal when 'wet' and is a very versatile food.

I mainly mix it with other grains (oats, kamut, wheat, whatever is on hand), grind them and make either pancakes from the so won flour or use it for baking. It gives a slightly hearty flavor/taste which we like.

I think it has a bit nutty taste, which makes it interesting and more rich. I found myself enjoying this grain, because compare to some other grains Amaranth has more taste and flavor. I cooked it in different ways: with milk and some honey for breakfast, with mushrooms for dinner. Also, I think Amaranth is suitable for both, breakfast and dinner, it just takes more time compare to Oatmeal to prepare :)

best already cooked rice I've had was scooped into ziploc containers when it's fresh then placed in the freezer. Crack the lid on the container and cook for 3min in a microwave. Good stuff.Great way for single folks to have rice every day.

The only "book" that I have is the "FlavorWave Turbo Users Guide." My suggestion is to go online and type THANE into your browser and see what they have to offer (www.Thane.com). Their Users Guide has a section that recommends cooking times & temperature settings for their FlavorWave unit which is comparable to all of the various bowl type units sold on TV or the Internet today.

You need to prepare to steam or cook the vegetables. Then put them on top of the rice after adding water in the cooker.

I'm sorry, i've not attempted that recipe. I've used it sparingly but each time, it's been perfect. Good luck!

You have to experiment. On some I have cut the cooking time in half. I would not buy this again.

Like you would oat meal. Add a little less water then doing it on the stove and I set it at low pressure for 12 min.

It has to be a really small batch, I use half a cup of steel cut oats and two cups of water, overnight on the porridge setting. Comes out perfect every time. I tried cooking it with almond milk, and had boil over even with a small batch, so I just stick with water and add in more of whatever I want after it is cooked. If you need more than a couple servings of Oatmeal at a time, a cooker bigger than this one might be better, I lucked out in that this is all I need for my small family.

Just put the two pieces on the top of the pot. Don't use your regular pot cover. Be sure to fill your pot no higher than 1-2 inches below the rim. This really works. The foam that normally boils over the top of the pot and onto the stove is caught by the wide edge of the large piece. You can pick up the small piece to see what is going on in the pot (boiling or not, or just simmering?). If cooking instructions are "boil without pot lid," then put only the larger disk on the pot and leave the small disk off. Just to make using this even nicer, clean up is as easy as popping it in the dishwasher, or a quick wash with hot soapy water and rinse. Just put the two pieces on the top of the pot.

I am sorry, I have no knowledge of recipes. I just use it for grilling, like hot dogs or Korean bbq style meats.

Put tap water in the bottom compartment up to the fill line in the window. Insert the base and basket. Into the bowl put equal parts water and rice. Add a little salt. Stir. Put the loud on. Plug it in. Set the timer dial to 30 min for white rice, 45 min for brown rice. When the bell chimes it's done. And it's perfect EVERY time. Use the same timing for quinoa or any other grain or cereal. You can also steam tamales and hard cook eggs in the shell.

I use an electric rice cooker, Rice Select with water or chicken broth. I haven't tried mixing in vegetables before cooking, but I do sometimes heat them in the steamer basket on the top of the rice cooker.

How I cook basmati: soak for at least 20 mins to half hour in cold water. Drain and then add to a pot of boiling water and cook for 6 minutes ( amount of water is inconsequential, just as long as it is covered by half again as much rice) drain and then add to a frying pan that has 1 tbsp olive oil and at least 2 tbsp of water. Put a lid on that has been wrapped in a kitchen towel. Cook over low heat for15 minutes. Test before removing from heat. Rice should be dry and tender. And some of the bottom will be a crisp texture. Absolutely yummy!
