Can this cook quinoa?

I do not know what is this fruit or vegetable. But to me this cooker is not good to cook that. May be you can try with a slowcook will be better then.Good luck.

Absolutely. I bought a $20.00 rice maker off Amazon, and it's a simple 1 part Quinoa to 2 parts Water! I make a couple batches every week.

Quinoa is just fine for this strainer. I use it for rinsing my quinoa often.

I have never used mine for quinoa; however, it is very fine mesh and should do the job appropriately.

Would that I could, but believe it or not, I have never used mine...NOT much of a cooker! Sorry.

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!!

The holes are small enough to contain millet or orzo, or even soup pasta, but you might have to use a fine wire mesh strainer for quinoa. They are very small, but I don't have the equipment to measure them. They are large enough to allow water to drain off quickly without backwash. It's a great strainer.

I just tried it and uncooked quinoa grains will not fall through this strainer.

Yes. Cook with a little more water than it calls for and it will be very mashable.

Hi! Thanks for your inquiry. I did a bit of research and found nothing that specifically said that it can be used to grind quinoa or millet into flour. In the description it says - "Grinds coffee beans for the freshest cup of coffee. Powerful quiet motor with high speed blade that grinds beans, spices and herbs quickly and uniformly." I ship al my items through Amazon so I can not read any detailed instructions from the product information it contains. Thanks. Please contact us if you have further questions. Cheryl

Absolutely! Just like you're cooking rice. I put a tad more water though, probably 25% more than called for so that it comes out a little more tender and fluffier. Other than that it's really no different than cooking the rice. For awesome quinoa add seasoning to your water or better yet, broth!

I'm not sure on servings but 1 cup of uncooked quinoa makes about 2 or 3 cooked cups. There is tons in this package

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

I usually use 1 cup of white or brown rice and 1.2 or 2 cups of water respectively. It also cooks quinoa perfectly, and wild rice, and gourmet rice blends, and red rice, and sushi rice. It has never once produced rice that was not perfect in many, many years.

Yes. The size of the mesh gets smaller in each strainer. I poured quinoa in the biggest first and nothing came through the sieve except chaff and dust, so you should be good with any of these.

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