What each ingredient does
- Oatmeal
- Provides the bulk of the porridge, thickening as its starch absorbs water and swells.
The step that matters
Leave in a cooker for 3 to 6 hours or overnight. Long, gentle heat lets the oats absorb water slowly and soften fully, giving a creamy texture instead of a grainy, thin one.
