Hi Daniel -
I'm not sure what might have gone wrong for you. Did you use regular couscous, not pearl couscous? Did you measure the water *after* boiling it? If you measure before and don't re-measure it's possible some of the water evaporated during boiling and you ended up with less than a cup. We don't specify what to cover the bowl with, but I would recommend covering it with foil or plastic wrap to make a more tight-fitting seal. Hopefully these tips are helpful for next time!
Best,

We tried this recipe and the cous cous wasn't nearly done with a cup of water and waiting. Did I do something wrong? Anyone else?
