My Docs at DUKE tell me that Steel Cut Oats are a great way to start the day - your method looks good - thinking of adding some extras i.e., raisins, dried cranberries, walnuts, cinnamon and apple chunks and maybe banana slices. Duke suggests I not eat till lunch (brunch) and make it my main meal of the day, thus the thoughts re extras.
Add nuts, fruit, etc after the cooking process or they will turn to mush. That’s what ai do and it’s perfect. I cook a months suoolymofmsteelmcutmciatmamdmfreeze in containers…leave it out over ight in sink to defrostIt takes a while to defrost. Enjoy!
I watched the video, excellent, and just used the porridge setting with 2 cu water and one 1 coconut/almond and 1 cinnamon stick. It all came out quite good on first try. Thank you.

To get my 93 year old mom to eat this kind of oats, I have to high pressure cook for 30 minutes then allow delayed, even natural release. You have to have really good teeth to eat these after 8!! minutes. They don't get as slimy as the stove top cooked, but the individual bits get more tender. I like that. It is almost impossible to overcook. (well its possible). I did cook in a bowl on a steaming rack with water in the bottom of the instant pot.
I find it much easier to cook my steel cut oats directly in my bowl, in my instant pot. This way, you also don't have to grease the bowl either. Why clean two bowls? That bowl that she used would in the Instant pot fit perfectly with the trivet.
I did hear somebody say that Prius said to not use the glassware in the instant pot so I guess getting a metal dish to put in as a serving dish would work well I really want to try that. So obviously we put water in the instant pot and then the trigger and then the bowl with the border and mixture in it I can’t wait to try that thank you
I would use the porridge setting and make changes from there. Did you know coconut oil is 98 percent saturated fat? People trying to eat healthy ought not use coconut oil. Thank you for sharing.
i use about the same cook time, but it tightens when it's cold...i pack some to -go to my mom and she always has to add more water to heat it up to loosen it up....
Great instructions @ tips that you can mix soy milk with water. Beautiful spotless kitchen.

Extras are great! I like to add chopped apple or pear and toasted pecans.

I never thought about doing that. Thanks for the idea. In this case I made a much larger batch than just what would fit in the bowl I used at the end.

Does the oats stop cooking and natural release doesn’t cook them further?
They cook slightly during the natural release. That is taken into account when determining the cook time.
Hi, is your pot the 6q or the 8q?
6 qt.
How many cups of oats for a weeks worth?
If you want to eat oats every day for a week I would double what I do here. If you just want them a few days this should be fine.
I would use the porridge setting and make changes from there. Did you know coconut oil is 98 percent saturated fat? People trying to eat healthy ought not use coconut oil. Thank you for sharing.
The porridge setting would work too. There are many varying opinions on the healthiness of coconut oil. There are certainly alternatives.
there's a black thing in here... guess I'll find out when I eat it XD thanks for info on quick releasing oats
:) I'm glad you found it entertaining and helpful.
where do i find the water to oats ratio?
This link is a good source for figuring out what ratio to use: www.pressurecookrecipes.com/instant-pot-steel-cut-oats/

You could cook it with more water to have it not get so tight when it cools.
Cute
Thanks.
You do not have ti use oil spray…absolutely do not.
You can totally choose not to.
