This works well for rolled oats but not for steel cut. Both types are much nicer cooked in a pot with stirring to bring out the creaminess (like risotto).

It's possible to both soak and cook the oats.

The overnight oats (rolled or steel cut) will cook much faster after they've soaked up liquid. If you're adding ingredients such as egg (two per 1/3 cup s.c. oats) this takes care of the raw elements as well.

Overnight oats made with milk and yoghurt in equal proportions has all the creaminess you could ever dream of.

Hell, go full insanity mode and make your overnight oats with cream!
