I make my oatmeal on the stove. Why the heck would anyone need an Instant Pot to cook oatmeal for 4 minutes?
Use the pot in pot for dairy heavy porridge recipes. Just stop fighting the burn sensor and find a way around it.
For the recipe that uses the pot in pot and requires dairy ingredients, how much water should be used in the outer pot? Does it come to pressure to the same degree?

For this recipe use 1 cup of water in the outer pot. Place a stainless steel bowl on the trivet and add the oats and milk to the bowl. It will come to pressure to the same degree but it will take a minute longer to reach pressure. There will also be no burn sensor warning since the milk will not come into contact with the heating element of the Instant Pot.
Regarding the foam that comes out of the valve of the Instant Pot it is not just the QR. This is also related to the recipe of the porridge. Too much starch should be in the recipe relative to the amount of headspace that the pot allows for the liquid. Ensure that you do not fill the pot past half full when preparing the recipe for porridge.
4 minutes of pressure and 10 minutes of NR for steel cut oats is 25 minutes total which is more than enough time to make oatmeal on the stove.

The main appeal of the Instant Pot for porridge is the “hands off” functionality. Simply add the ingredients and it will cook itself while you are doing other stuff in the morning.
