Courtesy of my dad. This is good stuff, and makes 4 servings. 1 cup steel cut oats 4 cups water 1/2 teaspoon salt Cook in Instapot, 5 min at 'Manual' pressure Let cool in Instapot for 20 minutes or until pressure relief button pops (if you don't let it depressurize slowly it will foam up inside and mess the lid) Add the following: 2 Tablespoons of chunky peanut butter (heaping) 2-3 heaping tablespoons of sugar (brown is better) 5 shakes of Pensy's Chinese 5-spice powder 4 shakes of Pensy's Star Anise powder

    3 minutes in the microwave isn't going to cook steel-cut oats...

    Wow, seriously? I know this sort of thing is the fashion these days on the internet, but dude. I'm standing right here. Anyway. To take the comment seriously -- if only it were that easy! Perhaps one of the biggest selling points of the Instant Pot, at least around my house, is its ability to cook steel cut oats quickly, efficiently, and without needing to be watched. On a further note -- what I've written here is what I received from my dad, but I've always just thrown everything in the pot at the start.

  1 cup steel cut oats 4 cups water That's as far as I get, I then cook it on the hob with a timer (7 minutes when cooking a single portion). I might occasionally add some sugar. Clearly you and many other people are getting some benefit from the device, I'm really doubtful that I would.

It's the "3 Minute Oatmeal" recipe straight out of the recipe book that comes with the IP. Add the following to the IP: - 1 cup almond milk (they warn regular milk with curdle but not sure about that) - 2 cups water - 1 cup steel cut oats - 1 cinnamon stick - pinch of salt - 1/4 cup of raisins - They call for vanilla extract but I use vanilla flavored almond milk Stir and cook for 3 min. on Manual in the IP. Let it naturally release for 10 minutes and then quick release the rest. You might see what looks like a ton of liquid still on the top--just stir it all up. Then I portion out what I want for myself, add a Tbsp give or take of light brown sugar, and any other toppings. My favorites now are chopped walnuts, chopped dates, banana, berries, diced granny smith apple, etc. That recipe makes several servings and is great for brunch with an oatmeal bar. You can also refrigerate leftovers for several days and if you let it chill a bit, you can then wrap it in plastic wrap and shape it into bricks which freeze nicely.

I have a WMF stovetop pressure cooker and love it. Haven't tried an IP before, so YMMV. I make oatmeal for the week on Sundays using Apple/Cinnamon or dried fruits: Ingredients 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup steel cut oats 3 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup sliced raw almonds 1/4 teaspoon salt For Apple/Cinnamon: 1 large apple, peeled, cored and diced 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon For Cranberry/Cherry: 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/8 cup dried cherries 2 tablespoons light brown sugar Directions Add butter to pressure cooker and set to sauté. When butter is melted add the oats and toast, stirring constantly, until they start to darken and smell nutty, about 3 minutes. Add water and rest of ingredients. Cook at high pressure for 7 minutes (stovetop) or 10 minutes (electric). Turn off pressure cooker and use a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Stir, cover and let thicken for 5 to 10 minutes. Top with milk, nuts and additional brown sugar, if desired.
