grandmother eating it a lot. I've heard that it is a healthy and
filling alternative to the usual eggs and bacon. Is there a fast and
easy way of making oatmeal cereal without using the instant oatmeal
packages that are overly processed? Someone suggested using steel-cut
oats. Thanks for any suggestions. MikeMix 1/4c steel cut oats with 1c water and a wee pinch of salt. Simmer
for 15-20 min preferably in a nonstick pan. Not fast but I don't think
you can speed it up.
If you start from scratch, probably not. But if you eat it regularly
and plan ahead just a little, as I do, there is a way that takes just
a couple of minutes.
I put enough for 2-3 days in a large plastic container and cover with
2-3 times the volume of water from the instant hot faucet. I then
microwave for 20-30 seconds, cover, and put in the frig.
It's ready to eat in a few hours. I never really timed it as I do it
the day before so that it's ready in the morning. I then just pop it
into the microwave, heat, and eat.
Simple, delicious, nutritious, and very filling.
