I cooked quinoa in one of the lower grades and it was the best tasting quinoa I ever had so I will assume this high end would do the same

Why would I want to freeze Organic Quinoa after I opened it? It might spill in the refrigerator or freezer and make a mess. I do put itin a pyrex container with a top after the product is cooked.

No, quinoa will pass right through. You'll need a fine mesh strainer to rinse quinoa.

I cook ricebut try quinoa. It comes out nice an fluffy in a short time. Everything steams very quickly.

The mesh is much finer than is needed to hold quinoa - so yes, it will hold quinoa.

I haven't tried cooking them but I can't imagine why you couldn't. One issue might be different cooking times if you have a bag of mixed beans.

I don't cook with quinoa, so I wouldn't be able to really answer your question. The holes are pretty small, but I can't answer if they are small enough for quinoa. It is a sturdy colander and I use it a lot.

There are only two of us....but we fix Quinoa almost everyday and have it in one form or another. We portion out the big bag into small paper lunch bags containing 6 cups each and they fit nicely into a food quality 5# bucket. We haven't gone through the 25# yet, but all seems to be well. Remember the grain has to be rinsed several times before using, so this may also preserve it. Good luck, it's a really good deal for a great tasting product.

It is a VERY fine mesh so I don't think so. I have not put quinoa in it, but use it to wash rice before cooking and those grains don't fall through.

We use it to cook quinoa all the time. It works great. We set it for white rice. two to one. we mix spices shallots garlic bayleaf cumin stuff like that in it. Then turn it off 10 minutes before it would have finished. Open and stir to separate the grains and so it doesn't get too sticky and overcooked. Proabably twenty minutes total. Could use the porridge setting maybe. This is if you like chewy/grainy not overly soft. WE toss with our favorte veggies/ green leafies mostly and garbanzos or other beans. Garnish with cliantro or parsley. One of our mainstays. Enjoy!!

Yes, it can be cooked as you do any other rice. You can use a rice cooker or regular pot.

Yes, it's often used for rinsing a variety of rice including quinoa. Performance after use is exceptional. Rinsing rice and sifting flour our the two main uses (of many) in my kitchen. I hope this is helpful.

I believe u have to use some kind of sugar substitute or cook the quinoa to where it's really sticky? I make traditional style sushi and this works great for that.

I'm not sure, but you probably could, you can make chowders and other soups in it and when I make beans in the oven, the go into a boil. Some one else may have a better answer based on experience.

Yes you can. But like I mentioned in my review, the bowl is concaved, so it's hard to sauté garlic/onions in the beginning. But yes you can cook stews, chowders and small chicken dishes.

I don't think it is necessary. My wife and I eat this quinoa often, and just keep it in its resealable bag in the pantry. It had lasted for weeks in that manner.

I also used the 2 parts water to 1 part quinoa AND used the quick cooking function. Turned out perfect.
