Does anyone use a crockpot for making steel cut oats?
Options
I was wondering if anyone uses a crockpot to make batches of steel cut oats overnight? They take me 30-40 minutes to make stovetop and I was thinking about trying this instead, but not sure about proportions of oats to liquid and what setting to use/how long to cook them for? If anyone does this, share your wisdom with me! Thanks!

^^^SO TRUE!!!!
Thanks for the recipe!0 -
Every Sunday I make a batch in my crockpot to eat all week long... I LOVE it!!
Here is my "basic" recipe starter - but I changed out a few things.. I eliminated the butter and vanilla, I use splenda and a dash of mollasses instead of brown sugar... I also play around with adding peanut butter, PB2 and bananas.. In any event - this will get you started:

Thanks a lot! sounds like something I need to start doing- I LOVE steel cut oats with a passion! but I hate how long I have to babysit them for when I cook them on the stovetop.0

I tried a recipe once and my family did not like it. I saw this recipe and they are cooked in a hot water bath in the cp and so I'm wondering if they would turn out better? This sounds good:

I will have to try this - I've cooked it in my rice cooker, and it comes out great, but it makes a HUGE mess because it boils over every time!0

I use the stove for steel cut oatmeal. Mix it 2:1 - water and/or milk to oatmeal. slow cook. I add some brown sugar, almonds, banana, etc. YUM!0

What's your setup for the rice cooker? I recently got a Zojiroshi, and am positively in love with it for cooking basmati (on a timer? so it's hot and fresh when I come home from work?!), but would love to try steel cut and rolled oats in at, as well.0 -
I use this recipe from Hungry Girl:
ER SERVING (1 heaping cup): 249 calories, 4.5g fat, 320mg sodium, 52g carbs, 7.5g fiber, 26g sugars, 4.5g protein -- POINTS® value 5*
This sweet 'n satisfying dish is like the love child of gooey cinnamon apples and brown sugar oatmeal. It's perfect for breakfast, dessert, or snack time. Yay!!!
Ingredients: 8 cups chopped Fuji apples (about 6 apples)
2 tbsp. brown sugar (not packed), divided
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, divided
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 cup light vanilla soymilk (we use plain almond milk; less calories too!)
1/3 cup sugar-free pancake syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix apples with 1 tbsp. brown sugar and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir to coat apples well. Transfer to the crock pot.
In the empty bowl, combine oats, soymilk, 1 tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon, syrup, and salt. (All remaining ingredients except butter.) Add 1 cup water and mix well.
Add oat mixture to the crock pot, and gently stir. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 7 hours.
Add butter and mix well. (Do NOT forget this step. Stick a Post-it to your timer if you have to!) Serve and enjoy!

Yes!!! Super-easy, too.
The basic recipe is:
1 cup steel cut oats
4 cups water
Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
I use a small crock for this. If you want to use a big one, then double the recipe or only cook it for 6 hours, otherwise you'll end up with burnt crusty oatmeal.
You can mix it up however you want to! Sometimes I'll switch part of the water for orange juice. I usually add cinnamon and raisins, diced apple is good, too. Almost any kind of dried fruit would be good in it. I don't usually add sweetener when it's cooking, we just add it to the bowl, but this weekend I did add 1/4 cup maple syrup and that was a nice addition.
OH! And spray the crock first. Trust me on this. LOL0 -
Every day! We use a small (1.5 qt) crockpot with a lamp timer. 1/2c oats to 13oz water (we like it a bit chewier), on high for two hours.0

hm, some good tips here. thanks.0

I make them in a thermos. They always come out perfect and it saves a lot of energy. I preheat my thermos for a minute before I pour it out and add the oats and water.0

Thanks for all the tips gang!:flowerforyou:0
