Should I use the Instant Pot porridge setting?

Yes, the Instant Pot timer button is safe to use for food that does not require refrigeration, like oatmeal, grains, pasta, and beans. For food safety reasons, do not use the delay start button when cooking recipes with meat or dairy.

Should I soak steel cut oats before cooking?

I always soak steel cut oats when cooking them on the stovetop because it shortens the cooking time and makes them easier to digest. However, this step is not required when cooking oats in an Instant Pot.

How do you cook oatmeal in an Instant Pot without burning it?

If you see the dreaded BURN message when cooking oats in you Instant Pot, there are a few things you can try. First, check that you turned your steam valve to sealing.

Instructions

Add steel cut oats, water and salt into a 6-quart Instant Pot. Stir well. Secure lid and ensure the steam release valve is set to sealing.
Set the cooking time to 4 minutes on high pressure.
When the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. After this time, use a towel to turn the steam release valve to venting - this will release the remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the lid and stir the oats. While they might appear runny at first, stirring will thicken up the mixture.
Top with your favourite toppings.

Notes

To prepare in 8-quart Instant Pot: Reduce the cooking time to 3 minutes on high. Keep the natural release at 10 minutes. You can double the recipe if you want a bigger batch, but you don't need to.
To prepare in 3-quart Instant Pot: Follow the same cooking instructions as for the 6-quart. But, you'll need to cut the recipe in half.
To prepare the night before: Scroll up and read the How to make Instant Pot overnight oatmeal section. It's as easy as setting the delayed start button on your Instant Pot to 30 minutes before you wake up the next morning.
