Clean the Instant Pot to remove any odors, especially the seal.

Check that the seal is properly in place before cooking.

Add 1 cup of steel cut oats to the Instant Pot.

Pour in 2 cups of water and 1 cup of almond milk.

Add a cinnamon stick and a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Set the Instant Pot to manually pressure cook on high for 3 minutes.

Ensure the valve is set to sealing before starting the cooking process.

Wait for the Instant Pot to build pressure, which may take about 10 minutes.

After cooking for 3 minutes, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 20 minutes.

Check that the float valve has dropped before opening the lid.

Remove the cinnamon stick from the oatmeal.

Stir the oatmeal to check the consistency, which should be perfect after cooking.
