Recipe Information
The Surprising Technique for Perfect Make-Ahead Oatmeal
Cooking Mode (Prevent screen from sleeping)
-
1 cup (180g) steel-cut oats
-
3 cups (710ml) water (see notes)
-
Pinch kosher salt
-
Toppings, as desired
-
In a rice cooker, combine oats, water, and salt. Close cooker and set to porridge mode (or the most appropriate mode for your cooker; consult manufacturer's directions). If a timer function is available on your cooker, you can use it to set when you want your oatmeal ready (for example, you can fill the cooker the night before and specify that you want it ready at 7am; the cooker will turn on early enough to ensure it's ready when you wake up). If not using a timer function, the cooking time will vary with different rice cooker models, anywhere from about 40 minutes up to 1 hour 30 minutes.
