How to prevent the porridge from overcooking?

Overcooked and mushy buckwheat is not necessarily a bad thing. This version is often used for small children or on the recommendation of a doctor. To get overcooked buckwheat, add more water in the first step. You can use 2 cups of water instead of 1.5 cups for every 1 cup of groats. You can extend the cooking time to 7 minutes.

How to store and reheat groats?

Cooked buckwheat groats can be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly closed container for up to 3 days. The groats can also be frozen and stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.

The best taste is the groats reheated in a pan with butter under the cover. You can also reheat the porridge in the microwave. Start with 30 seconds and repeat until desired temperature is reached.
