Instructions

Microwaved Steel Cut Oats
. Add oats and water to a large microwave-safe bowl. The bowl should be large enough to hold 8 cups of water, this is important! The oats will rapidly bubble, so if the bowl is not large enough it will flow over.
. Tightly cover the bowl with plastic wrap and cook for 5 minutes on high power in the microwave.
. Carefully uncover, stir, and cook for another 5 minutes or until tender and thickened.
Stovetop Steel Cut Oats
. In a medium saucepan bring water and salt to a boil.
. Stir in the steel cut oats then reduce heat to medium-low.
. Simmer uncovered, stirring every 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and oats are tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
