- There are a few secrets to good wheat porridge, and one is choosing the right grain. For a tender porridge that's both tasty and good-looking, you need the right product. An excellent option is arnautka — wheat groats made from spring durum wheat, coarser-ground than other varieties. This grain is clean and doesn't need a lot of sorting or repeated rinsing to remove debris. Getting the proportions right is key. The most reliable approach is to weigh out the grain on a kitchen scale, which minimizes the chance of error. Cover the measured grain with cold water, stir with a spoon, and drain. Right away, cover it with cold water again and swish it with your hand. This rinses out the starch, which clouds the water white. Don't rinse in warm water — cold water draws out the starch better. Transfer the rinsed grain to the slow-cooker pot. Using the same scale, measure out the water and pour it over the grain. Close the lid and set the slow cooker to "Porridge" or "Grains," depending on your model. The porridge cooks in 30 minutes, absorbing all the water while staying fluffy and appetizing. If you load it the night before, use the delay-start setting and reduce the time — 20 minutes is enough. When it's done, stir in the butter with a wooden, plastic, or silicone spoon. Don't use metal utensils, which can scratch the pot. Serve the porridge hot.
- Have a delicious breakfast and a great day!
