Tips:

Use good quality oats: Steel-cut oats take longer to cook but have a chewier texture and nuttier flavor. Rolled oats cook more quickly and have a softer texture.
Rinse the oats before cooking: This removes any dust or debris and helps to prevent the porridge from becoming slimy.
Use the right ratio of oats to liquid: The general rule is 1 cup of oats to 2 cups of liquid. However, you can adjust the ratio depending on your desired consistency. For a thicker porridge, use less liquid. For a thinner porridge, use more liquid.
Cook the porridge over low heat: This helps to prevent the porridge from sticking to the pan and burning.
Stir the porridge regularly: This helps to prevent the porridge from forming lumps.
Add your favorite toppings: Once the porridge is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include milk, sugar, butter, honey, cinnamon, and fruit.

Oatmeal is a delicious, nutritious, and versatile breakfast cereal. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and vitamins.
