Hi everyone, my name is Paulo, and I’m going to show you my daily oatmeal cooking routine for breakfast. I start with one and a half cups of water in a medium-sized pan and bring it to a boil. For the oats, I prefer Quaker Oats Old Fashion Oatmeal; its texture is perfect for my cooking method. I add three-quarters of a cup of oatmeal to the boiling water, stirring well to ensure the oatmeal is submerged. I let it cook for about a minute and a half.
After that, I notice the foam rising high, so I give it a quick stir and let it settle for another minute or so. As the boiling water foam subsides, I start stirring regularly to help evaporate the water and create a consistent texture. Many people tend to remove the oatmeal at this point, but I find it needs a bit more cooking time. So, I continue stirring for another three and a half minutes, making it about four and a half to five minutes in total since adding the oatmeal to the boiling water.
Finally, the oatmeal is done cooking when I see more of the pan’s bottom exposed. This indicates that the water has evaporated, leaving a drier texture. I transfer the oatmeal to a bowl and add my favorite toppings – a whole banana, blueberries, and a glass of water. That’s my complete breakfast! I hope you enjoy this video and find my oatmeal cooking method helpful. Stay tuned for more tips and recipes!
