Steel Cut Oats are tricky in the microwave, but we totally get that it’s hard to find the time to cook them on the stove top, and maybe you don’t want to clean a bowl and a pot when you could only clean a bowl. If you’d like to make your Steel Cut Oats in the microwave, may we steer you in the direction of our Quick-Cooking Steel Cut Oats? Quick-Cooking Steel Cut Oats are available in Organic. If you are totally strapped and need advice for cooking regular Steel Cut Oats in the microwave, below are suggestions – biggest tip? Be sure to use a large bowl to avoid boiling over and stir the oats throughout the process. Every microwave is slightly different so you may need to adjust your cooking time and oat to liquid ratio.
Ingredients
3/4 cup Water
1/4 cup Steel Cut Oats or Organic Steel Cut Oats
pinch Salt
Instructions
Combine the oats and water in a large bowl and microwave for 2 minutes, watching for any signs of boil over. Stir the oats and microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat this about 3-4 times. Take out of microwave, cover and let stand 2 minutes.
Alternate:
Using a liquid to oat ratio of 2:1 instead of the 3:1 above.
In big soup bowls put in a half-cup of steel-cut oats and a full cup of milk, briefly stirred.
Put in microwave with five minutes on the timer. After two minutes (about how long it takes to bring a cup of cold water barely to boil) open the microwave (not cancelling time) and stir. The milk at this point has foam on top but isn’t close to boiling over, yet.
For the last three minutes of microwave time carefully watch, and every time it is just about to boil over stop the microwave and stir to deflate and mix. Depending on how big the bowl is, this can mean stopping every ten seconds or so. This extra time between bursts of power is not wasted because it gives the oats more time to absorb water/milk.
After a certain point (usually around a minute left on the timer) the boiling over slows and eventually stops so during the last part of the cooking time let it furiously bubble for up to thirty seconds between stirrings.
When the microwave has exhausted its time, immediately stir well to mix in parts that have cooked unevenly, take the super-hot bowl out with kitchen mittens, and stir in honey.
