Breakfast Cereal

Breakfast cereal can be a quick-and-dirty convenient meal, but when prepared properly, it is wonderful.

The keys are using a frozen ceramic bowl, measuring ingredients carefully—by weight, volume, or count depending on what it is—and the metric system comes in handy for this. Storing your cereal in an airtight container with a label describing the cereal and the purchase and expiration dates keeps everything fresh and crisp.

Here's the recipe for Food 411 for One Breakfast Cereal:

42 g (1 1/2 oz.) breakfast cereal (by weight)
pinch of kosher salt (by estimate)
179 ml (3/4 cup) milk (by volume)
20 fresh blueberries (by exact count)

Be sure to place the blueberries strategically in the matrix formed by the cereal. Serve immediately.
