Cereal W. When cereal is made, grain is mixed with flavoring agents, vitamins, minerals, sweeteners, salt, and water in a pressure cooker. After this, the cooked grain is cooled and shaped by large metal rollers. Large ovens then cook the grain to the desired color, flavor, and dryness. Grain ground into flour is cooked in a cooking extruder. Cereals can be made in a wide variety of shapes, such as circles and letters of the alphabet, with a cooking extruder. X.
