4 mistakes that will ruin oatmeal

Oatmeal is one of the healthiest cereals that experts recommend for breakfast, but of course, you can eat it for lunch, too, and it won't hurt. It is a must-have for people with stomach problems.

Today, the FoodOboz editorial team will tell you what are the 4 main mistakes that are most often made when cooking healthy porridge.

1. Wrong time to pour the cereal

If you add oatmeal to boiling water at the wrong time, you can get a tasteless porridge. If you want it to be tender and creamy, for example, you need to add the flakes after the liquid has boiled. And if you are cooking with milk, add it to the cold water, and only then turn on the heat and cook.

2. Little or no salt

Salt is an essential ingredient in any dish, from soups to dough. It is thanks to it that food does not taste bland. It is necessary to add it to oatmeal, if you want to fully reveal its taste, add it at the beginning, and if you add it at the end, it will have a salty taste.

3. Small dishes

You should use a large pot for cooking porridge, as it often "escapes" over the edges, which can also affect the taste.

4. Do not forget to stir it

If you leave the porridge and don't stir it during the cooking process, it will turn into a terrible liquid that will not only be unhealthy but also inedible.
