Steel Cut Oats

If you have an old one like I do, you are fighting with trying to keep the controls and coil from getting wet.

I forget what company it is, but there are disposable crock pot liners out now too. I've never tried them though.

Got a newer removable crock thingy over here, Adam. I do like your story. It's still a pain to get some stuff cleaned from the surface of the pot itself. I know oatmeal, steel cut or otherwise, usually ends up having at least some of it stuck painfully when cooked in a regular pot.
