I don't really understand the appeal. I do mine in the microwave- regular oats. .5 cup cold water, .5 cup oatmeal. 5 mins on 3 or 4 power. Easy. Doesn't spill over.
Was gross. Maybe I used a crappy recipe?Equal measures rolled oats, yogurt, milk (I used 1/3 cup each). Pinch of salt, cinnamon. Added nuts the next morning. The oats weren't really soft and the cold mixture just didn't do it for me. Can someone suggest a better version?
I make oatmeal in the crockpot all the time and it's fabulous. Was it in the crockpot?
Tell me more, please. I tried 3 cups water, 1 cup rolled oats in my 1 quart crockpot (a ratio I found online), and it was a gelatinous watery nastiness. Probably too much water.
you probably want to use steel cut in the crockpot. I just make old fashioned on the stove, takes about 5-7 minutes.
Yeah, I do mine on the stove too. I was just looking for a fuss free way to have it ready for DH if I'm busy feeding the baby or something.

I could see doing steel cut oats overnight - I've done that to save cooking time the next day. But why would you need to do that with rolled oats? I mix something up similar to what you describe fresh and it tastes great.
I probably won't go out of my way to buy steel cut oats, though.
good thinking.steel cut oats are highly overrated, IMO.eta: I like oats in all forms -- soaked overnight, cooked, or as cookies.oats and eggs are especially wonderful together:
What - steel cut is the bestest! the only bad thing is the cooking time.
Maybe baked oatmeal? It would be cold so he'd have to microwave it, but you can make it in advance and eat it for a few days. Budget Bytes has a bunch of different recipes on her blog, but here's her basic recipe.
We looooooove baked oatmeal, but we have no oven. I have a working stove, but no oven. We're on this weird standoff not to buy a new one. Well, I'm trying to convince DH we need an induction stovetop, so that's part of the problem.
