Many of my readers have asked how to cook millet. I’ll answer the question for them and give some tips on cooking millet with your crock pot. First, you need to know that millet is similar to speak, but it has a stronger grain. It’s used more often as a breakfast seed. It’s not a hard seed to grow, so you can easily grow it in your garden. I’ll explain how to cook millet in this article.
Rinsing – Make sure to rinse your grains before cooking millet. Rinsing is important because it removes any grit or dust that may be on the grains. You will also want to clean off any red or orange colors from the husks when you rinse them. Rinsing can be done in a dish detergent. Make sure to use the gentle cycle on your washing machine.
Drying – Once the rinsing is complete, you will want to dry out the grains. Drying is very easy, even if you’re using a dehydrator. Simply place your grains in the dehydrator at pre-determined drying time intervals. The drying time will depend on the moisture content of the millet itself.
Cooking – Once the grains are dry and you’ve ensured they’re usable, you’re ready for cooking! Obviously, there are two ways you can do this: wet or dry. Wet methods of cooking millet involve soaking the millet in water or another liquid first. The water is brought to the boiling point, then the millet is placed in the water. This cooking method is excellent for the nutty flavor of the millet.
How to cook millet with a crock pot? First, start by rinsing the grains. Add one cup of water per cup of dry cereal or split grains.

How to cook millet with a rice cooker? The same principles of simmering the grain with water and stirring constantly apply.

How to rinse millet? After you’ve finished boiling the grains, drain them and rinse them in warm water. For the remaining solids, like the husks and the stalks, you can use a strainer to extract them. Again, heat the water to a boil and drain it. In a large pot, bring it to a gentle boil again, and gently strain the mixture, discarding any bones and greens.

How to cook millet with a cup hulled millet? If you have a pressure cooker and a strainer, this is the easiest way to cook a bowl of nutritious grain.

Bring it to a gentle boil and then strain into cups, add one tablespoon of salt for every four cups of cooked food or, if using a pressure cooker, half a cup of salt for every six cups of water cooked in the cooker.
