As dietitians and moms at McDaniel Nutrition, we are firm believers that the best kitchen gadgets should take the dirty work out of our most dreaded kitchen tasks. The instant pot is just the solution I was looking for.

Instant Pot = Time Saver

Consider steel cut oats. Love the flavor and nutritional profile, but we don’t love how long they take to cook! Who has time to stand over a stove for 30 minutes on a busy morning with three crazy kiddos tearing through the kitchen? The instant pot is a game changer, and our family can’t get enough of this Instant Pot Berry Cobbler Steel Cut Oats recipe!
We were a bit late to jump on the instant pot bandwagon, but it’s quickly become one of our favorite and most-used gadgets. It saves time and energy on many of our favorite dishes, and steel cut oats are no exception. The oats turn out perfectly with no stirring required!
