Notes
Overnight with Delay Timer: To cook oats overnight with delay timer, add the oats and water to the pot. Set the timer to the desired time such as 8 hours (Press pressure cook, then press Timer and adjust to the desired time). The instant pot will start cooking at the set time. Once the pressure is released naturally, add milk and adjust oatmeal to the desired consistency.
Storage: Place oatmeal in airtight containers in small portions. Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Rolled Oats: The same method works with the rolled oats. Pressure cook for just two minutes on high-pressure.
