I love my old fashion oats for breakfast but have heard that steel cut is awesome. The problem is i dont really have the time to cook them on a stove and dont want to cook them the night before etc
My question is that if i soak them overnight or maybe 1-2 hrs in hot?/cold? water could i microwave them? I dont see a problem with it? Is soaking them even necassary for helping with microwaving?
It seems that it should work, if it isnt really feasable i guess i should just stick with my old fashion type that take me around 6-8 min in the nuker.
I boil up a cup of water before bed. Toss in a 1/4 cup of oats. Cover and turn off stovetop. When you get up just turn on the stovetop again and heat it up for a few minutes. Perfect every time.
If you want larger servings just add a cup of water per 1/4 cup of oats. I have noticed that too large of a serving though and this method doesn’t work. Most I do is 1/2 cup of oats (dry).
I thought about the slow cooker idea, might have to go that route. I think i am going to try to nuke em first before i try anything else though.
The reason they take me 6-8 min is that it is 2 cups worth and i like them relly super thick. I could probably turn my bowl over when they are how i like them and they wouldnt fall out lol I cant stand them any other way than super thick.
I dont really want to cook them the night before because i would be reheating them in the micro anyway and i could just stick with my old fashion if im going to do that.
I guess the only way to find out with the steel cut is to try and micro them and see what happens.
