Cooking Oatmeal

  1. 1

    In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    Once the water is boiling, add 2 cups of rolled oats and 0.5 tsp of salt.

  3. 3

    Stir well, reduce the heat to low, and let the oats simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and have absorbed most of the water.

  4. 4

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken.
