Instructions
Stovetop Directions: 1. Bring water and salt to a boil. (Or, if using milk, just bring to a boil). 2. Gradually add Cream of Wheat, stirring constantly with wire whisk until well blended. 3. Return to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 10 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Cool slightly. Microwave Directions (1 Serving): 1. Mix 3 Tbsp. Cream of Wheat, 3/4 cup water or milk and a dash of salt in 1-quart microwaveable bowl or measuring cup. 2. Microwave on high 1 minute. Stir with wire whisk. Cook an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir again. Cool slightly. Caution: Bowl will be hot; carefully remove from microwave using pot holders. Note: Microwave ovens vary. Cooking times are approximate. Overheating can cause cereal to boil over. Tips for Best Results: When preparing with milk, watch carefully, stirring to prevent milk from boiling over. For thinner cereal, stir in 1 to 2 Tbsp. additional hot water or milk for each serving. For thicker cereal, let stand a few minutes. Stir-In Ideas!
