This Powdered Mulberry chow/food is used to feed Both Silk Worms and Goliath Horned worms. It is simple to cook in a Microwave Oven we ship it in a 24oz cup for ease of use.Just pull the silkworm food out of the cup and fill the cup to the line . Use a 1 1/2 QT or larger Microwave safe container for each 1/2lb of powder cooked. Step 1 add approximately 2 3/4 - 3 cups hot water to container (amount added may vary on each batch/Microwave we use the cup provided and fill it to the line) Step 2 add 1/2 lb Powdered Mulberry chow to hot water and mix until there are no dry clumps/powder remaining step 3 Cover top of container with plastic cling wrap and cook until it comes to a boil (most microwaves this is 2-3 min) step 4 take container out of the microwave uncover it and stir it until it has a uniformed consistency (be very careful container will be very hot and can burn you steam will also come out when removing plastic wrap and can burn you) step 5 Re cover with plastic cling wrap and microwave an additional 2-3 minutes until it comes back to an boil step 6 take it back out of microwave and stir again you may then pour it into a new container or leave it in the current one. then place plastic cling wrap directly on top of the chow so the cling wrap comes into contact with the chow this will help prevent excessive condensation and help keep the chow sterile (be careful the chow and container will be hotter than before) step 7 let it cool after cooling put a lid on the container and place in the fridge. step 8 take out of fridge and use as needed making sure to wash hands and utensils before touching food replace cling wrap/lid and put back into the fridge.
