How do you make steel cut oats in an Aroma rice cooker?

You can absolutely make steel cut oats in an Aroma rice cooker! Here's a simple method:

Ingredients:

* 1 cup steel cut oats

* 3 cups water

* Pinch of salt (optional)

* Other desired ingredients (e.g., honey, maple syrup, fruit, nuts, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Rinse oats: Rinse the steel cut oats under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer. This removes any excess starch and helps prevent stickiness.

2. Combine ingredients: Place the rinsed oats, water, and salt (if using) into the rice cooker pot.

3. Cook: Select the "porridge" or "congee" setting on your rice cooker. If your cooker doesn't have these settings, you can use the "white rice" setting.

4. Cook time: Cooking time for steel cut oats in a rice cooker will vary based on the type of cooker and the desired texture. Typically, it's about 30-45 minutes.

5. Fluff and serve: Once the cooking cycle is complete, fluff the oats with a fork. Add any additional toppings and enjoy!

Tips:

* Water ratio: The ratio of water to oats can be adjusted for desired consistency. For a creamier porridge, use 3.5-4 cups of water.

* Add-ins: You can add ingredients like chopped fruit, nuts, seeds, or spices to your oats during cooking or after.

* Overnight oats: Steel cut oats can also be made overnight in a rice cooker. Simply follow the same instructions, but set the cooker to "keep warm" mode overnight.

* Reheating: Leftover steel cut oats can be reheated in the rice cooker or on the stovetop.

Remember: Some Aroma rice cookers have specific settings for cooking oatmeal. Consult your rice cooker's manual for specific instructions. Enjoy your delicious steel cut oats!
