Pressure Cooker Porridge
By JimMac, www.rovingculinarian.com
1. Melt butter in skillet over medium heat until foaming starts then add steel cut oats and stir constantly for 1 ...
- You can add raisins at step 2 although I found I prefer to add raisins after
- its all cooked, also I add a few drops of vanilla after it is all cooked or
- whatever you want. Some people add some peanut butter and / or maple syrup, brown sugar,etc.
- If making more than 1 cup steel cut oats at a time use a larger skillet to
- toast the oats. The pressure cooking time can be adjusted a minute or 2 for a
- more or less cooked result but 5 min works fine for me.
- I have never had a problem of oatmeal sticking to bottom of pot.
- 1 cup steel cut oats
- 1 cup milk
- 2 - 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
