    Yes, must be steelcut (or your own cut groats if you like that sort of thing). This is hands down the best way to make steel cut oats.

    Here's a trick: put the ingredients in a bowl, then set the bowl into your slow cooker and pour in water around it up to the water level in the bowl (like a bain marie). Now you only have to clean the bowl. :D

    Old fashioned oats will be done in 3-4 hours with this method. Steelcut come out perfectly in 8 hours on low.

    I have steelcut oats in the rice cooker. 1 cup oats, 2 cups water, 2 cups skim milk makes 4 serves. Set and forget, takes about 30 mins or so, Just watch for boil overs. :)

    I put the oats in containers in the fridge and take them to work then add a teaspoon of almond paste/butter, a little honey and half a banana. Tastes awesome.

    Or, the night before, bring the steel cut oats to a boil for 2-3 minutes, then cut stove off, and cover. The oats will be ready the next morning. Just heat them back up. A lot easier!

    Sounds great! Have you figured out how many servings and nutritional info on each serving? Thank you!

    my oats were steel cut, and 3 hours was plenty of time. not sure why it's so different for some people unless crock pots really do cook at different speeds.

    as for the nutrition info:

    8 servings (mine came out to about 175 grams each), per serving-

    calories 219
    carbs 42
    fat 3
    protein 7
    sodium 1
    fiber 6
