Cereal Ah-Hah Moment

Frustration for the avid hot cereal eater comes when the cold milk is poured on hot cereal, making the hot cereal no longer hot. The best cereal on the planet comes from Honeyville Grain Company. Its yummy goodness consists of Spring Wheat, Winter Wheat, Soft White Wheat, Corn Grits, Barley Grits, Steel-Cut Oats, Cracked Rye, Millet, and Flaxseed. This cereal is consumed on a daily basis since the acquisition of our new Fagor pressure cooker. It is chewy and warms the cockles of one's heart.

Trivia Question: Where exactly are the cockles of your heart?

The ah-hah moment occurred a short time ago when it came to me (perhaps by revelation) to heat the milk and then add the cooked cereal to it. Snarklies, it is good and the dilemma is solved.

That would be a 'duh' moment Marci! I have had plenty of those moments...
Where do you buy it?
I have been making homemade whole grain oatmeal with apple chunks and sprinkles of cinnamon and sugar. Yummy!
I thought of you today and thought you may be cooking:)

Try adding crasins, hazelnuts and a couple drops of almond extract and vanilla. YUM!


How long do you cook it in your pressure cooker?

Is the pressure cooker hard to clean after you make this?

Once it comes to pressure, turn off the burner and time it for 11 minutes. 3/4 c. water to 1/4 c. cereal. Quick cool the pressure cooker under cold water. Heat your milk and YUM! Easy cleanup.
