So glad it worked for you Karen. No one who has tried it with steel cut oats has had an issue yet

I tried your original recipe last night, and we had the best oatmeal ever! I have a really old crockpot and cooked on low for at least 12 hours. 1 cup steel cut oats + 4 cups water.
Thanks!

Glad to have so many folks willing to help out-I’m going to get my act together and email you all a choice of “assignments” to figure this all out. It should be an interesting Blog experiment eh?

I used steel-cut oats, and didn’t have any trouble…although the mixture was a bit thick. (I don’t care for raisins, so didn’t include them.) Maybe the difference between steel-cut and regular is a big one, in this case!

Sure, ask away if you need more recipe testers. I’d be glad to help out the author of the ‘all day mac and cheese’ and ‘pizza hut clone recipe’ that has been such a big hit in my house!

it is funny that so any people were trying it again right after you posted it;) i, too, did it. I doubled the amount of old-fastioned oats, since i didn’t have steel-cut on hand and had read some of the comments. i had scorching and some liquid but it wasn’t too soupy. I’d definitely be happy to try again. Dh loves oatmeal for breakfast!

I used steel cut oats and it came out mushy for me too. It still tasted good though. I think my crock pot must be hotter than yours. I will try this again but I will reduce the amount of water I use.
