Notes
Watch your water content when cooking the oatmeal. To ensure the best consistency, keep an eye out for how much water is being absorbed into the oatmeal. Too watery and it becomes mushy and too thick will cause some areas to burn. If you’re concerned, stir more frequently and immediately remove from the pot when it is the proper consistency.
