What is the best way to prepare the HMR Multigrain Hot Cereal?
The HMR Multigrain Cereal cooks quickly in the microwave. It can also be cooked on the stovetop. These are the best methods for preparation. In a pinch, the cereal can also be prepared by adding boiling water and allowing to sit for about 5 minutes. This method will not produce as much volume and will not cook the grains as much. When microwaving, the size of the cooking container, the starting temperature of the water, and the wattage of the microwave will affect cooking time. While the instructions say cook for 60 seconds, it is recommended that you cook for 90 seconds and then adjust cooking time based on the texture you prefer. Do not use less than the recommended amount of water (6 oz.) as this will reduce volume. Adding fresh, canned, or frozen fruit to the cereal can further increase volume and nutrition.
