How to prepare millet

The cereals must be thoroughly rinsed under running cool water or in a bowl, changing the liquid several times. The water should become clear.

Old cereals can taste bitter. If you are not sure about the production date, soak the washed millet in hot water for 5-10 minutes, or simply pour over it with boiling water. This will eliminate any possible bitterness.

How much water to take

Most often, 3 glasses of liquid are taken for 1 glass of millet. In this case, the porridge turns out to be not very boiled, but not crumbly either.

For a crumbly dish, 1 glass of millet will need 2 glasses of water, and for a more viscous one, 4 glasses.

How to cook millet in a saucepan

Place the millet in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Season with salt and stir.

Reduce heat to moderate. The groats should bubble slightly. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.

Leave the porridge to infuse under the lid for 5-10 minutes.

How to cook millet in a slow cooker

Pour the millet into the multicooker bowl. Cover with water and add salt. Cook in the "Groats" mode for 25 minutes.

If you want the porridge to infuse, leave it in the "Warm" mode for 10 minutes.

How to cook millet in the microwave

Place the millet in a microwave-safe dish. Pour half the water over, cover and cook at full power for 5 minutes.

Stir, season with salt and pour in the remaining water. Cook for another 2 minutes and microwave for 5-10 minutes.
