you acctualy dont have to use oil to make couscous. All you have to do is put it in a bowl add an equivalent amount of boiling water to the amount of couscous you have in your bowl. Then, close it for two to five minutes. open it, and there's your couscous. Trust me, try it.

I am not a cook but a few years ago I just added boiling water to cous cous in a bowl, covered it and in 5 mins it was perfect, I was amazed. Have only recently had pre cooked from supermarket but going to make my own again. So it is quite simple to make, if I can make it anyone can.

How much water to cook one cup of couscpous??

[Leeviathon]

How much liquid? Not enough instructions

She didn't state how much water to bring to a boil.

I bought a small box of couscous. Directions states to use 1 1/4 cups of water, a tablespoon of olive oil or butter and bring to a boil. Pour in couscous, stir, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 5 minutes. I had to see a tutorial to see for myself because it just seemed odd to let it sit off heat in a boiling water for 5 minutes. I'm used to cooking rice, which is cooked differently. I've never eaten couscous before but I bought it because I wanted to try it. Anyone know how it tastes?

As an alegerian aka where couscous is from this is a crime, couscous is steamed with a sauce cooked separately then added at the end on top with various topping

[RadioRomance]

Why would you not give the ratios & tell how much water and couscous to use? That’s the most important part 😑

[Turk_From_Malta]

Question is what uncooked couscous made? 😂

[joangoodwin]

Did i miss the part where they provide he measurements? A gallon of water, a pint of olive oil? JK, but I’d like some firm numbers to go on…
