Add the immersion circulator to a large pot of water. Insert the sous vide and bring the temperature up to 180F.
(OPTIONAL) To toast quinoa, simply add it to a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for about five minutes stirring frequently until the quinoa is evenly toasted and a fragrant nutty flavor is released. Once the quinoa is toasted, remove it from the heat and set it aside until completely cooled.
Add the quinoa, salt and pepper, and water to a quart-sized bag or container. Vacuum seal the bag or use the water displacement method.
Place the sealed bag/container into your immersion circulator and cook at 180F for one hour or until all of the water is absorbed.
Let the quinoa cool for 10 minutes, then open the bag carefully. Add the cooked quinoa to a bowl and fluff with a fork. Serve while hot.
