The air is getting chilly, so that means ...

Is this a good rice cooker for making oats?

Has anybody used Honeyville Grain Company's steel cut oats (www.store.honeyvillegrain.com)? Compared to the price of McCann's, they are one third the price.Thanks for any feedback.

Never heard of steel oats before, but it sure looks tasty and it is getting a little cooler here in the south.......forecasted lows in the 40's this coming week!

Just cooked up a double batch overnight in the slow cooker. For those with a large slow cooker, here are the ratios used:

2 cups steel cut oats
9 cups water
1 cup milk

Set slow cooker on low and cook for 7 to 8 hours. Early on stir about 1 time per hour. I have been spraying the crock with Pam prior to filling and it has eliminated sticking. Left overs will keep for a week if stored in the refrigerator in a container with a tight fitting cover. To keep the cooked oatmeal from forming a skin on the top, I press a piece of plastic wrap over the top of the oatmeal. Enjoy the colon cleansing goodness.

Did you try the Honeyville oats? Anyone?

I have the McCann's any like it very much. I'd be very interested if this is the same taste & quality.

I tried them and have been buying them all winter. They cost me $2.99 for 20 oz at Trader Joe's and 28 oz of McCann's is around $6.00. I can't taste any difference.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to order some of their oats and dried fruit
