>>WHOLE WHEAT Is ideal for cereals, soups, salads, main dishes. The
usual proportions to cook are 1 part wheat to 2 parts water plus 1/2
- 1 tsp salt.
Wheat can be steamed, cooked in a crock pot, pressure cooker or
successfully prepared by the oven method: OVEN: Preheat oven to 300F.
combine wheat and water in a pan and bring to a boil. Boil 5 minutes.
Remove from heat, cover and place in oven. Turn oven off. Leave wheat
undisturbed overnight or for 8- 10 hours.
THERMOS METHOD: is easy, saves fuel and attention and gives a chewy
product: Preheat 1 quart thermos with boiling water. Boil 1 cup wheat
and 2 cups water for 3 minutes. Place in thermos, seal and let stand
overnight. <<
A whole cup of cracked wheat sounds like a lot to me but with the 1:2
ratio you could reduce the amount.
