Many amateur cooks are unable to prepare delicious and crumbly porridge.

The dish turns out viscous and almost tasteless, which greatly disappoints gourmets.

However, if you pre-process the cereal, the porridge will acquire an ideal consistency.

Besides, the dish will be much more delicious.

At the same time, you need to pour a little sunflower oil into the dish.

Rice or buckwheat should be on the hot surface for a maximum of three minutes. During this time, the product should be constantly stirred.

What does the procedure provide?

Pre-heating of cereals is not only a guarantee that the future dish will be crumbly.

The first heat treatment removes unnecessary flavors from the product. Only pleasant aromas appear.

In addition, rapid heating is a guarantee that the cereal will be completely free of excess compounds and dangerous microorganisms.

It is worth noting that pre-heating is useful not only for buckwheat and rice.

A similar procedure should be carried out with millet, pearl barley, semolina and many other types of flour. But couscous should not be calcined.
