Cook this recipe
- water-4 cups
- steel-cut oats-1 cup
- salt-0.5 teaspoons
Add the water and salt to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Use caution around boiling water and steam from the saucepan.
Stir in the steel-cut oats, then reduce the heat to low to keep a gentle simmer.
Add oats carefully to the hot liquid to reduce splashing.
Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until the porridge is thick and creamy and the oats are tender.
Use caution when stirring, as thick porridge can bubble and splatter.
Remove from the heat and let the porridge stand for 5 minutes to finish thickening before serving warm.
Handle the hot saucepan carefully when removing it from the heat.
