Feb. 13th, 2011 07:43 amSo, I finally found some steel-cut oats with which to make Attempt #2 At Slow Cooker Oatmeal. I've never had steel-cut oats and I have to say, those of you who hate oatmeal, if you've been eating the steel-cut variety I'm not surprised. It wasn't terrible or anything, but it's not a patch on oatmeal made with whole oats.
The recipe's not hard, just a cup of oats and three cups of water in the slow cooker before bed, and then half a cup of light cream stirred in when the oats are done cooking in the morning. It is, I think, a recipe designed for busy families who want a hot breakfast, especially since the oatmeal is ready to go when you wake up.
As many people have pointed out, there's nothing wrong with cooking oatmeal in a pan, except that I wanted to try cooking it this way. On the other hand, it makes a ton of oatmeal. I like oatmeal, but I'm not quite up to this industrial amount of it.
Also now I have a lot of steel-cut oats I don't know what to do with. Maybe I can make steel-cut oatmeal cookies.
