When cooking cereals, measure the right amount of boiling water and put in the upper part of a double boiler. Allow 1/2 teaspoon of salt to each 1/2 pint measuring cup of water. When water is rapidly boiling, with a fork stir in the required amount of cereal, adding it very slowly, so that the liquid does not stop boiling, for if this happens the cereal is liable to fall to the bottom of the boiler and the grains cling together, causing lumps. Cook for a few minutes directly over the flame, then finish in the double boiler, allowing the cereal to cook the length of time called for on the package. Cereal is improved by long cooking.
