When preparing buckwheat, it is important to follow certain rules, including the temperature of the water.
Then the side dish will be crumbly and tasty.
Chef and culinary expert Yulia Arkhipova explained whether it is possible to cook buckwheat in cold water.
What kind of water to pour the cereal into
You can pour buckwheat into cold water. However, this solution will not be entirely correct.
Buckwheat kernels can become soggy in cold water. The result can be a sticky porridge.
If you add buckwheat to hot water, the dish will be crumbly.
But it is important to take into account some points. For example, the cereal should be poured in after the water boils.
Then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a lid.
You also need to make sure that the cereal does not boil vigorously.
What else to consider
Some housewives pre-soak buckwheat. Thanks to this, the cereal will cook faster.
It is advisable to use a cold pad only for soaking.
But after the cooking process, the buckwheat still needs to be poured into boiling water.
Earlier, the expert explained how to cook rice in five minutes.
