Steel cut oats are incredibly easy to make in the Instant Pot. Using the sauté function to toast the oats in olive oil before adding liquid for pressure cooking adds a nice toasty flavor. This recipe is for traditional steel cut oats, not quick cooking-cook ones. Once cooked and cooled, put oats in an airtight container and refrigerate. In the morning, take about a half cup and add 1/4 cup water or milk, then steam for 15 minutes with your Instant Pot's steam function. Stir well and enjoy oats every morning during the week!

Fizzy Lifting Drink
After scouring the Internet in search of an extra-special cocktail for our Willy Wonka-themed backyard movie party, it became apparent that I would have to step into my cocktail laboratory and invent my own. After many back-breaking hours spent calibrating specimens which were analyzed by my friends, I came up with this recipe that I'm confident even Willy Wonka himself would be proud to call The Fizzy Lifting Drink. Warning: This drink may cause mischievous behavior.
