    We use the crockpot to make steel cut oats regularly you can add whatever you like but the basic receipe is

    1 cup steel cut oats,
    4 cups of water
    I put a bit of salt in

    Mix in a pyrex bowl or oven wear container
    Set on a trivet or something to keep the bottom of the container off the liner of the crock pot
    fill the crock pot with water approx 3/4 of the way up the container the oats are in ( making a water bath)
    set on low cook 10 - 12 hrs

    Great for breakfast I usually throw a handful of raisins in ours because we love them and in the morning a teaspoon of honey and a teaspoon of peanut butter per bowl.. with some milk Enjoy

    Someone on OPRA talked about that when she was really in to steel cut oats. Maybe it is on her recipe board.

    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 made this yesterday, and it was so easy, and so delicious. I'll never babysit the steel cut oats again. Thanks so much for this super recipe!! I made only 1 small change, I had no applesauce, so I put two grated apples instead of 1, and I left out the nutmeg just cause I don't like it. The recipe calculator says this is 209 per serving, and it was a totally satisfying breakfast. Warmed up so easily too.

    Hip hip hooray!!!
