Famous Steel Cut Oats Recipe from Syekick - drop-dead good breakfast:

Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker Steel Cut Oatmeal Recipe

1 Cup steel cut oats
3 Cup milk
2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
4 Tablespoons ribbon cane syrup
½ Cup cup cranraisins
¼ Cup chopped pecans
1 Tbs Butter

Place all ingredients in cooker and stir gently.
Close the cover and start Porridge cycle.
Note 1: The brand of your steel cut oats may require adjustment to the amount of liquid. I usually just reduce the milk by a 2/3 cup if there is too much liquid.

Note 2: People of the northern persuasion typically prefer Maple Syrup, Raisins, and Walnuts. “Ain’t that weird?” so saith Brother Dave Gardner

And that recipe, my friends, is what hooked me last year!!!!!!!

since this, I have tried it with, Sausage patties, Canadian Bacon, Ham, and Sausage links..........


But I keep going back to the Crispy BACON!!!!!!!!

Is this a good rice cooker for making oats?

Has anybody used Honeyville Grain Company's steel cut oats (www.store.honeyvillegrain.com)? Compared to the price of McCann's, they are one third the price.Thanks for any feedback.

Never heard of steel oats before, but it sure looks tasty and it is getting a little cooler here in the south.......forecasted lows in the 40's this coming week!

Just cooked up a double batch overnight in the slow cooker. For those with a large slow cooker, here are the ratios used:

2 cups steel cut oats
9 cups water
1 cup milk

Set slow cooker on low and cook for 7 to 8 hours. Early on stir about 1 time per hour. I have been spraying the crock with Pam prior to filling and it has eliminated sticking. Left overs will keep for a week if stored in the refrigerator in a container with a tight fitting cover. To keep the cooked oatmeal from forming a skin on the top, I press a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the oatmeal. Enjoy the colon cleansing goodness.

Did you try the Honeyville oats? Anyone?

I have the McCann's any like it very much. I'd be very interested if this is the same taste & quality.

I tried them and have been buying them all winter. They cost me $2.99 for 20 oz at Trader Joe's and 28 oz of McCann's is around $6.00. I can't taste any difference.
