rice maker, part 1,000, how to make oatmeal

[Paul F.]

Quaker oats ain't for eating... they're for baking into things.

Go to a good grocery store and get some steel cut oats!

My favorite slow-cooker oatmeal recipe (may or may not be adaptable to a rice cooker.. no idea...)

4 cups steel cut rolled oats (not the "quick" variety)
4 cups milk
9 cups water
(yes, it really does take 13 cups of liquid for 4 cups of oats!)
3 tsp salt
cinnamon to taste (a not-full teaspoon is good, two is a LOT).

Fruit;
We used approximately 3 cups of fresh and dried fruit.
1 apple, cut up in small chunks
about 1/2 cup each of the following;
dried apricots, chopped.
raisins
dried cranberries
dried cherries
chopped walnuts

Put in the slow cooker on "low" for about 6 hours.
Makes 12-13 servings of 1 cup size.
