Answer 2

the directions are right on the canister...2 1/2 cups water...little bit of salt...let it come to hard boil...then add 1 1/2 cups oatmeal and let it cook 1 minute...stirring occasionally...then turn off heat and let sit for about 5 mins or until thickened...I always add raisins and cinnamon in with the uncooked oatmeal too...

Answer 3

simple way:

Put appx 1/2 cup instant oatmeal in a bowl
Add appx 1/2 cup water (vary by how thick you want the oatmeal)

Microwave for 1 minute.

Add sugar and/or milk as desired. You can add brown sugar, honey, cinamon, rasins, maple syrup... all sorts of variations.

Answer 4

I love oatmeal, and I have found that instant oatmeal is just fine for most applications. Microwaving seems to have a better result than just pouring boiling water in and letting it cook that way.

If you just have oats and need to cook them, the ratio is one part oatmeal to three parts water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a little more water to make it creamier, a little less to make it stickier.

Answer 5

For one serving: 1 cup water, 1/2 cup dry oats, dash salt, 1 tsp. butter, 2 tsp. brown sugar. Bring all to a boil, turn down and cook for 4 or 5 minutes. You can also add any kind of chopped, dried fruit if you like, i.e raisins, apricots, apples, blueberries, cranberries, etc.

or
3 cups water
1 cup 1% or 2% milk
1 tablespoon Brummel & Brown Yogurt Spread
1 cup steel-cut oats
1/4 teaspoon salt

1. Bring water and milk to simmer in large saucepan over medium heat. Meanwhile, heat spread in medium skillet over medium heat until just beginning to foam; add oats and toast, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until golden and gragrant with butterscotch-like aroma, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

2. Stir toasted oats into the simmering liquid, reduce leat to medium-low; simmer gently, until mixture thickens and resenbles gravy, about 20 minutes. Add salt and stir lightly with spoon handle. Continue simmering, stirring occasionally with wooden spoon hand, until oats absorb almost all liquid and oatmeal is thick and creamy with a pudding-like consistency, about 7 to 10 minutes. Off heat, let oatmeal stand uncovered 5 mintues. Serve immediately. (I often need to add extra liquid at high altitude.) Serves 4
