soo… searched, watched youtubes, but I’m kinda stumped. how do I cook these? also, do I pre-wash them?

everything is either steel-cut or rolled, I ain’t got none of those, just normal, whole-grain oats. I don’t own nor need a rice cooker, just want the the normal, on-the-stove type of deal.

first run was cup of oats, three cups of water, bring to boil, turn off, leave for an coupla hours. result - it’s cooked but there’s extra water, so I’m guessing next try is two cups water instead, and maybe a shorter rest period.

I’d like to pre-cook an amount and then use it for a couple of days. I’d also prefer to not season it, as I can then use it with both salty and fruity dishes.

    This is for whole/large flake oats, in case you’re referring to something else?

    I cook these almost daily in the winter, and occasionally otherwise.
    It’s pretty much 2:1 water with a dash of salt.
    You may boil the water first, but I combine them first (makes it creamier).
    Anyway, bring to a soft boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to bottom of pot, turn heat off (leave the pot on the stove though), cover, and let sit for ~10 minutes.
    After you’ve made it a few times you should be able to eyeball it, adding water or oats as required.
