How to Store Steel Cut Oats
- 1). Refrigerate the steel cut oats in an air-tight container for up to three months.
- 2). Store the oats for up to six months in the freezer in an air-tight container.
- 3). Combine 1 cup of water with ½ cup of steel cut oats in a 1 quart, microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high power for three to four minutes or until tender. Stop the microwave to stir the oats every minute to prevent overflow. Alternatively, cook the oats with twice as much water in the top of a double boiler for 30 minutes or until tender.
