Cereals

Cereals contain a large per cent of starch, so should have a rapid cooking in boiling water for a few minutes when first started. Then they may be put inside the double boiler to continue to cook more slowly. Care should be taken that the cereal does not stick to the dish when it is having its first hard boiling.

How To Boil Rice

Wash thoroughly one-half cup of rice. Have two quarts of water boiling hard in the kettle, with one teaspoonful of salt. Throw in the rice and allow to boil rapidly without a cover until tender, then drain through a colander. Put on the stove to dry, lifting the rice apart to allow the steam to escape. Rice that is cooked in this way will have every kernel separate.

Steamed Rice

Put in double boiler two and one-half cups of milk or water or a part of each. Add to it one-quarter teaspoonful salt, set the inside of the boiler on top of the stove. When it comes to a boil add one-half cup well washed rice. Let it boil hard for five minutes. Then replace it in the double boiler, and let cook until soft. The time of cooking depends on the age of the rice.
