I'm still looking for a good source of organic steel-cut oats, so I'm doing "regular" in an Instant Pot.
Life hack: put the measured water and oats inside a bowl, but put the bowl inside the Pot with half an inch of water. You're going to dirty the bowl anyway; no sense dirtying the Pot too. Just use gloves or a potholder to remove the bowl, unless you have very tough fingers.
Zero chance of the microwave under-cooking the oats or, worse, over-cooking and making a gawdawful mess in there.
I use either Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats which are cheaper and organic or McCann's steel cut oats. I don't know if I could tell the difference in a blind taste test but I think McCann's are creamier and nuttier in flavor.
> no sense dirtying the Pot too
I cook all meals at home so I run the dishwasher machine every night and put it in. I might try the bowl trick with single serving of rice.
Interesting that oats suffer the same economics as yellow bulbs in stop lights where they are used much less meaning it costs more to switch them to led than the electricity costs saved. Genetically modified (GMO) oats are not commercially available because the cost of developing them doesn't meet the low demand.
I also sometimes fry and egg and put it on top the oatmeal with maple syrup. I know it sounds gross but I like it.
