Cooking Oatmeal

Ingredients

Directions

The book gives no oven temperature. The 300°F (150°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.

Prepare

  1. Combine the oatmeal, cold water, and salt in a bean pot. Stir thoroughly.

  2. Let the mixture stand for 2 hours.

Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. Place the pot in the oven and bake for 2 hours without stirring or removing the cover until serving.
