Today's Instant Pot Recipe - Breakfast

 I think I may have found the easiest IP recipe for Steel Ground Oats. 

1. Put the trivet into the pot and add 1 cup cold water
2. Put 1/2 cup oats and 1 cup water in the small glass souffle dish. Add a dash of salt.
3. Put the souffle dish into the pot and seal the lid.
4. Select Porridge (Less) and set for 5 minutes. 
5. Come back in 30 minutes and it's done. Pressure should be released by then.

Note that this is not a bit faster than cooking the oats on the stove, but ...

• It requires no stirring or monitoring and will not burn no matter how absent-minded I am
• I can eat the oatmeal out of the glass dish, leaving nothing to wash but the dish.
• The IP preset buttons remember the time setting you used last time. So now it's my Steel Cut Oats shortcut button.
• If I wanted to make it even less time-consuming, I could set it up the night before so all I'd have to do is push one button. Or if I was REALLY obsessive I could figure out how to use the Delay Start setting and I wouldn't even have to push one button in the morning.

The only problem is, of course, that I end up eating oatmeal for breakfast. I'm not crazy about oatmeal, but keep trying to like it because it's supposed to be good for me. Steel Cut Oats have a much nicer texture than the other forms of oatmeal, but are a PITA to cook. This method, while it consumes 30 minutes clock time, takes no more of MY time than opening a packet of instant oatmeal. So it's a win.
