02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Prepare and Cook Oatmeal

Start by pouring water into your Instant Pot and placing the elevated trivet inside. In a small bowl, combine the milk, oats, freeze-dried strawberries, cream, cinnamon sugar, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a good stir, then set the bowl on the trivet inside the pot. Lock the lid in place and choose the Porridge setting, setting the timer for 5 minutes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up before the cooking begins. Once the cooking cycle is done, carefully use the quick-release method to let out the steam. When it’s safe to open, remove the lid and top your oatmeal with some fresh strawberries for a nice, fresh touch. Enjoy!
