In order to cook delicious buckwheat porridge, you need to have an idea of what this cereal likes. Most gourmets believe that delicious porridge is primarily crumbly cereal. But this is a matter of taste, and these 4 rules should be known by every respectable housewife. Let's talk about the rules without which you cannot cook porridge.
Rule one
You need to cook buckwheat porridge in a suitable container. The fact is that during the heating process, the cereal swells and it does not steam well in a large saucepan. It may be cramped in a very small one. But the most important thing is to choose a container with a thick bottom and walls. This way the cereal will not burn and will not stick to the pan.
The second rule
Delicious porridge will cook if you add enough water. Ideally, the ratio is 1:2 (buckwheat/water).
As for the water level "two fingers above the groats", this value is not constant due to the physical characteristics of our vision.
The third rule
The groats should not boil violently. The best way to do this is to simmer them over low heat, covered, and without stirring.
The fourth rule
Be sure to let the porridge stand after you turn off the heat. Add a piece of butter, cover with a lid, a towel, and leave for 10-15 minutes.
Some people cook the porridge after cooking by placing it in a preheated oven.
