To prepare, empty the contents of one packet into a bowl. Add hot water or milk, stir well, and let it sit for a minute or two until the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency. You can adjust the amount of liquid to make it thicker or thinner. Some people prefer to microwave the mixture for a minute after adding the liquid.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to traditional rolled oats, instant oatmeal is processed to cook much faster. The oats are typically cut into smaller pieces and sometimes pre-cooked. This results in a softer texture and quicker preparation time, though some may find the texture different from slower-cooked oats.
