Franca asked how others rinse quinoa. I put a paper coffee filter in a
strainer and rinse several times. After the water has drained through the
coffee filter and strainer, I pop the coffee filter upside down and drop
the quinoa into the pan and cook it. (I recently saw a list of 100 uses
for coffee filters and they have become my favorite new household helper -
you should see how they clean mirrors and windows - no lint, no streaking!)
