(Sorry for bottom-quoting, that seems to be the style these days,
correct me if I'm wrong...)

Alton Brown did a wicked show on oatmeal that was run on Food Network
(US) not too far back.

Available he
http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/reci..._17138,00.html

1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried figs
4 cups water
1/2 cup half-and-half

In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover
and let cook for 8 to 9 hours.
Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started
before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by
morning.

Alton Brown rules my kitchen. I have both his cooking and baking
books. I recommend them highly.

Cheers
