Steel Cut Oats - Quick cook

Have you ever wonder on how to cook steel cut oats perfectly and quick? Thanks to Marin Mama Cooks, I confirm that this technique works, super easy and cleaning is a breeze. Oats turned out perfectly cooked. Below is my twicked version:
  • 3 1/4 cups filtered water
  • 1 cup steel cut oats – I use steel cut oats from Bulk Barn which is perfectly fine
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
How to:
  • Do the following after dinner. Basically by 7 or 8 pm the night before you are going to have the porridge the next morning
  • Boiled water in a kettle
  • Put 1 cup of steel cut oats in to a sauce pan
  • Once water is boiled, measure the water as per the recipe and pour into the same sauce pan that has the oats
  • Turn on the burner/ stove on medium high, bring the oats to a boiling point. Don't leave the sauce pan on the stove because sometimes the oats can overflow. If this happens, quickly reduce the heat until it's not roaring boiling anymore.
  • Let the oats boiling for 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat, stir twice and put on the lid and forget about it until tomorrow morning you wake up.

The next morning:
  • Take a portion of the oats you would like to have, store the remainder in an airtight container and refrigerate this for up to a week (I have not done this, but Marin Mama Cooks suggested this)
  • Microwave the bowl of oats for 2 minutes on high, stir and put back into microwave for another 1 to 2 minutes on high
  • Splash your choice of milk, stir until you find the the consistency you like i.e. creamy-wet or creamy-dry
