Cook the quinoa, for most recipes. Place two cups of water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lightly salt the water and add one cup of quinoa. Cover the pan, reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Remove quinoa from heat, fluff with fork, and let stand another 15 minutes. The yield will be about four cups. Fluff again with fork, and the quinoa is ready to be added to your recipe or used in baking.
