Steel Cut Oats with Maple Syrup & Raisins — Instant Pot Style

This is simply my how-to guide for making steel cut oats in the Instant Pot. The amounts and directions are for a 3-quart pot but the recipe could be easily doubled for a 6-quart pot. Maple syrup could be omitted as could the raisins for plain oats. Or add brown sugar, craisins, currants, etc. The oats do not have to be sautéed in butter but this adds to the overall flavor. In a hurry? Add steel cut oats along with the other ingredients in step #2 and omit step #1.
