I finally broke down and purchased a rice cooker.
We much prefer the Irish Steel cut oatmeal. There are 2 settings on the cooker, brown & white rice. I have been experimenting setting the cooker at night & using the delay start. Any successes or failures or recipes? TIA, Dimitri |

I can't imagine a rice cooker can be set to cook long enough to cook steel cut oats.. it's not the delay start that's needed, it's the length of cooking time. I use my slow cooker and set it for 7 hours at low... I don't use a delay start, don't think it's a good idea to let the oats sit in cold water any length of time anyway, I start the slow cooker just before retiring for the night (it's all ready to go, even have the oats measured, just gotta dump em in and hit start... when I awake in the morning it's done and already kicked in to the keep-warm cycle. Just have to stir and eat, I make enough at once to last a week, keep it in the fridge and nuke how much I want each morning, I've found that two cups of oats with nine and a half cups water works well... about a tsp salt is optional, and enough butter to grease the inside of the crock to prevent sticking (I suppose you can use a cooking spray but real butter is what I want, plus I don't use any kind of sprays, why would a normal brained person want to breathe in aerosols, bad as smoking, maybe worse). Only need about a Tbls of butter to grease a crock, spread over seven portions that little bit of fat is not worth considering. |

Hello, notbob!

On the other hand, porridge has a disturbing capacity to erupt unless stirred and I suspect the cooker would be ruined!
