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.
thanks everyone for the suggestions. second run: 1 cup groats (thanks for the term), 1 cup water, splash of olive oil, pinch of salt. cover, bring to boil, switch to lowest setting, let simmer. got a glass lid, so monitoring progress.
20 min - still water left. 30 min - still some water visible. 40 min - none visible, occasional buble pops through. turn off heat, leave covered for 10 mins. sadly, there’s some water at the bottom, was hoping everything will get absorbed.
third run will be one setting above lowest for the simmer part thus hopefully shortening it to 30 mins, and then leaving it covered for 15 minutes, hopefully that will do the trick.
