soo… searched, watched youtubes, but I’m kinda stumped. how do I cook these? also, do I pre-wash them?
everything is either steel-cut or rolled, I ain’t got none of those, just normal, whole-grain oats. I don’t own nor need a rice cooker, just want the the normal, on-the-stove type of deal.
first run was cup of oats, three cups of water, bring to boil, turn off, leave for an coupla hours. result - it’s cooked but there’s extra water, so I’m guessing next try is two cups water instead, and maybe a shorter rest period.
I’d like to pre-cook an amount and then use it for a couple of days. I’d also prefer to not season it, as I can then use it with both salty and fruity dishes.
If you are doing savoury, like for dinner, replace the water with broth. If doing sweet for breakfast milk and sugar are great. 3 cups is about right, but you need to cook for longer until it is all absorbed. Simmer for 45 mins or so, stirring occasionally to prevent the bottom from burning.
2 cups is probably insufficient. Boil turn off and wait hours is also not the preffered method, less time, more low heat. Taste ocasionally until you get the desired texture, then consider adjusting broth / water / milk levels.
