Can you get instant steel cut oatmeal?

[Anonymous]

Like where you just add boiling water and it's ready?

No, but there is a "quick cooking" version that only takes 7ish minutes.

You can make a giant vat of it and keep it in the fridge for the week, or freeze it in portions and microwave to reheat.

That sounds disgusting. Are you the same poster who freezes half a raw egg to use on a rainy day?

Thanks. I'm not independently wealthy with that much time to spare. I'll just stick to my regular instant oatmeal in that case.

This - I prefer the taste of this to the legit old-fashioned difficult one

If you microwave it aggressively and like it al dente, you can be done in about three minutes. That's my go-to. Add nuts and chia and it's a more nutty (gritty! haha) breakfast.

I love it this way. I don’t like it turning to mush, its great al dente. I add cinnamon, a little milk and blueberries. So good.

One needs to be "independently wealthy" to have 7 minutes to make oatmeal for breakfast? Because I'm not wealthy and I make it -- I guess I didn't get the memo.

I’m poor, it’s cheap, it’s filling. I could eat it three or four times a week and not get tired of it.

Never heard any advertised like that.

However you don't have to cook oatmeal to eat it, if you are eating steel cut "rolled" version of oatmeal, the flake kind. It's the best for your health overall, same as regular porridge steel cut but smooshed out so they are more easily digestible.

I do a batch of regular steel cut oats in the Instant Pot. 2 cups = 6 servings to eat for the week.

If you're ok with cold, you can make overnight oats with steel cut oats.
