- Step 2
High Pressure or Manual for 2 minutes, followed by a 5 minute natural pressure release. Quick release the vent after the 5 minutes and remove the lid when it’s safe. Stir the oatmeal to fully combine the oats and remaining liquid until it looks good.
Cook (Steel Cut Oats)
- Step 3
High Pressure or Manual for 4-5 minutes, followed by a 10 minute natural pressure release. For slightly chewier oats, cook for 4 minutes. For softer oats, cook for 5 minutes. Quick release the vent after the 10 minutes and remove the lid when it’s safe. Stir the oatmeal to fully combine the oats and remaining liquid until it looks good.

Serve with some milk, ginger crisps, or a sprinkle of brown sugar on top. Pomegranate seeds were delicious on top as well if you have them. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
