INSTANT POT, POT-IN-POT METHOD
Place the Instant Pot trivet inside the main pot.
Pour water into the Instant Pot just until it almost reaches the trivet. Be careful not to put more water than the trivet's height.
Place basic ingredients in a container(s) of your choice. TIP: You can use anything oven safe in the IP. I use metal tiffin containers or pyrex glassware.
Put the container inside your Instant Pot on top of the trivet.
Close the lid and set the valve to sealing. Hence, no air should release during the cooking phase.
Close the lid and set to 10 minutes high pressure. Let the Instant Pot cool down and naturally release air before opening.
Enjoy as is or with your favorite toppings.
HOW TO COOK WHILE YOU SLEEP (DELAYED TIMER)
Set Instant Pot to 10 minutes and high pressure once the ingredients have been placed in the pot, then press the timer button and program according to how many hours from that moment you want it to start cooking. NOTE: If you want to eat (or take the oatmeal with you) at 7am you can start the cooking at 6am or even earlier since the oatmeal will remain warm. Cooling process takes about 15 minutes or more depending on quantity.SAFETY: Be sure to set the Instant Pot away from any other objects. Hence, there should be no cabinets above the Instant Pot where the released steam could potentially harm your kitchen with steam.
