Abstract: A method for the manufacture of a microwavable Farina is disclosed. The preferred method involves high temperature (300-600 Degrees F.), short time (30-180 seconds) heating of relatively dry farina (20% or less moisture, preferably 14.5% or less moisture) in direct contact with hot air, to achieve at least partial (10%+) gelatinization. The resulting product can be consumer prepared in a one-step microwave method without lumping.
