How to cook instant oatmeal on stove???

Question

I know this may sound like a stupid question...but I work at a retirement home and I have to be the head cook tomorrow...I have to make 1 cup of instant oatmeal in the morning and I have no idea how to cook it on the stove...I dont know how much water I am supposed to add to it..and if I am supposed to boil the water first and then add the oatmeal....can anyone PLEASE help me????

I am not sure if it is instant oatmeal as it comes in a big tub with no instructions or anything...all I know is that I am supposed to cook it on the stove...is cooking instant oatmeal the same as cooking regular oatmeal???

Answer 1

If you are really talking about instant oatmeal, you boil a 1/3cup of water and add the instant oatmeal packet. That will make about 1/3 cup, so 3 times.

For the stuff that comes in the big tub , boil 3/4 cup water with 1/4 cup milk, add 4 T oatmeal and some butter and salt and cook until it thickens, a few minutes, stirring.

Answer 3

Just bring some water to a boil... pour it over the instant oatmeal that's in a bowl... stir. Let sit (well,it'll sit long enough on the tray getting to the resident.) Serve.

Usually it's ½ cup water per 1 packet of oatmeal, so you'll probably need 2 packets.

(Shame they can't use real oatmeal... it only takes 3-5 minutes)

Answer 4

Boil the water in a tea kettle... It only takes like 2/3 or 3/4 cup of hot water... put the oatmeal in the bowl and add the hot water... too much water and it will get soupy... when I've done that I microwave it and it thickens up...

I assume that's the instant oatmeal in the packets???

Answer 5

First , bring some water to a boil.It should say how much on the back of the packet.

Second, put the needed amount of oatmeal in the water,stir.

Third, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla, 1 cinnamon stick and a pinch of nutmeg.

Stir until your thicknest level is reached.

Before serving take out cinnamon stick or leave as a garnish.
