Cereal Cooking Guidelines

Cereal Cooking Guidelines

1.Cereals can be simply prepared in the microwave oven in individual serving bowls.

2.Large cereal bowls or casserole dishes are best-suited for cooking cereals in the microwave oven. With large bowls, there is less chance for cereal to spill over into the microwave oven cavity. Stirring during the cooking time will help to prevent boil overs and lumping.

3cups quick-cooking or old fashioned rolled oats 1/3 cup wheat germ

1/3 cup shredded coconut 1/3 cup sliced almonds 1/3 cup all-bran cereal

1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1teaspoon cinnamon

1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted 1/4 cup honey

1teaspoon vanilla

3.Use hot tap water, since it will boil faster than cold.

4.Let each cereal stand, covered, for about 5 minutes before serving, if necessary, for all water to be absorbed. Stir before serving.

1.Place rolled oats in 8-inch square dish. Heat on Full power for 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes, or until warmed. Stir twice during heating time.

2.Add remaining ingredients to rolled oats. Stir ingredients together, until mixture is well- coated. Heat on Full power for 3 to 6 minutes, or until well-heated. Stir twice during heating time. Press mixture firmly against bottom of dish. Allow to cool. Break apart. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator. Micro-tip: May be served with milk.
