How To Cook Quinoa In A Rice Cooker
This post may contain affiliate links (disclosure).
I always use the rice cooker to cook quinoa. Even though cooking quinoa in a pot on the stove is pretty easy, I like the rice cooker much better because there is no need to watch it – just press the button and forget about it until it’s time to eat. Rice cooker will cook the quinoa and will keep it warm for hours – what a convenience!
The ratio of quinoa to water in a rice cooker is the same as on the stove. When you cook quinoa on the stove, the ratio of quinoa to water is 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water. The ratio of quinoa to water in the rice cooker is also 1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups water :)
