Cooking Instructions for Hornworm Food
-
Stovetop Method:
- Boil 4 cups of water for every 1/2 pound of hornworm food.
- Once the water reaches a FULL ROLLING BOIL, gradually add the dry food packet, stirring continuously with an electric hand mixer or whisk.
- Keep mixing on the stove until the powder is fully dissolved and evenly mixed, ensuring NO CLUMPS remain.
- Remove from the stove and continue to mix for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to your desired container and allow it to set at room temperature, which will take about 1-2 hours.
Microwave Method:
- Pour 4 cups of water into a microwave-safe bowl for every 1/2 pound of hornworm food.
- Heat the water in the microwave until it starts to boil — this may take several minutes depending on the microwave.
- Carefully remove the boiling water and, while stirring, slowly add the dry food packet.
- Mix thoroughly with an electric hand mixer or whisk until there are NO CLUMPS.
- Let the mixture cool slightly, then continue to mix for another 1-2 minutes.
- Pour into the desired container and allow it to harden at room temperature for 1-2 hours.
Final Step for Both Methods: The hornworm food is now ready to use. Proceed to add eggs, feed your worms, etc.
