It cooks just like rice. I had a recipe that was a version of mac and cheese and it was... bland. Very bland. With more seasoning it could have been good, but it wasn't. The texture was good though, and I have a lot left, so I'll try again.
It gets everywhere though. Be warned. Freaking tiny ass things.

Yeah that sounds awfully bland. I would use quinoa with strongly-flavoured things, like maybe some kind of tomato sauce dish. It also adds texture to salads

It also dries hard onto the pan surprisingly quickly if you leave it... (will soak off, of course).

Well, it was cooked with peppers and garlic and I used a Vermont White Extra Sharp Cheddar, a Bourbon Aged Cheddar, and Gouda. But then I realized the recipe called for no salt whatsoever and I think that was the major downfall. But whatever. If I do that again, I'll use my own mac and cheese recipe and swap out the pasta for quinoa because my recipe has never let me down. I'm just mad I wasted such good cheeses. At least there's a little left.

This isn't cooking so much as just food-related, but I bought some goat cheese yesterday and forgot to put it in the fridge, so it was at room temp for about 20 hours. The package is still sealed, and I tried googling an answer, but I got everything from "yeah, it's fine" to "IF YOU LEAVE IT OUT FOR TWO HOURS, IT WILL KILL YOU."
Does anyone actually know, or is this just a case of "kinda shady, might be ok, won't really know until you throw up or not."?
More related, I found out that I make some pretty badass homefries. They're ridiculously easy, but we gave our kitchen a deep clean recently, and its been awhile since I had room to cook anything that didn't just need to be heated in the oven or boiled in a pot.
