Rolled oats, while faster to prepare, lack the texture and consistency of steelcut oats
Steelcut oats are a delicious luxury that have recently begun to enjoy a resurgence in popularity. While rolled oats provide convenience, they lack the flavor and consistency of steelcut oats. Unfortunately, these take far longer to prepare, requiring at least thirty minutes to cook under normal conditions. Altitude further complicates this, requiring the addition of twenty five percent more water and simmering time. The use of a crock pot or rice cooker, makes the cooking of steelcut oats at high altitudes a breeze.
Instructions
1. Wash the steelcut oats under cold running water. This removes any undesirable particulate matter.
2. Add oats and water to your crock pot or electric rice cooker.
3. Mix thoroughly to prevent clumping or hot spots.
4. Set crock pot to warm overnight. If using a rice maker, set the electric timer to start the rice cooker two hours before breakfast. When you wake in the morning, your steelcut oats will be warm and ready to eat.
