Another food & drink thread for me. I've been on a roll lately.
I am thinking very seriously of buying some steel-cut oats and giving them a try. My problem is that I don't have 30 minutes to cook breakfast during the week. I like the idea of a slow cooker. We have one of those. We don't have a rice cooker and I'm not going to buy one just yet.
Your recommendations for crockpot oatmeal? (FYI: my favorite oatmeal additions are apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and raisins.)
I assume I'd eat this stuff from the crockpot on the first morning and then refrigerate the rest for reheating.
edit: not placing directly in the crock looks like a good idea; have you gents had any luck with this? Is it absolutely necessary? According to this link, the sticking crust is a symptom of not using enough water.
