Steel Cut Oats

In a medium saucepan, bring the water, milk, and salt to a boil. Stir in the oats and return to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally and more frequently toward the end to prevent sticking, for 25 to 30 minutes, until the oats are thick and creamy. (For a chewier texture, opt for the shorter cooking time.) If the oatmeal becomes too thick, add a splash of water or milk to reach your desired consistency. Once done, remove from the heat. Spoon into bowls and serve with your favorite toppings.
