Cooking Whole Wheat Berries in a Thermos
Ratio: 1 part whole wheat kernels to 1 plus a little extra part water (2 cups wheat and 2 ½ cups water)
Salt – a scant ½ teaspoon per cup of wheat
Ingredients
- Whole Wheat berries
- Boiling Water
- Salt
Instructions
- Boil enough water to fill up your thermos.
- While it’s heating, get your ingredients ready.
- Fill up your thermos with boiling water, close the lid and set aside.
- Measure out your cooking water.
- Boil your measured water.
- When you measured liquid is about ready to boil, pour the hot water out of the thermos.
- Pour the wheat and salt into the thermos.
- Pour the boiling water into the thermos – close to capacity.
- Close the thermos, give it a few shakes, and lay it down, on it’s side, on the counter.
- In the morning, pour the contents into a small mesh strainer to remove the excess water.
- Wheat in the whole kernel state will take all night to cook. You can cook as much or as little as you like, but you need to fill the thermos close to capacity with boiling water sot that it will stay hot all night. You cannot over cook it using this method.
