This is how I've been making steel cut oats. I combined several techniques I had seen on the internet and they are SO easy and perfect every time. I make them in a crock pot! BUT if you just put them in the crock pot, you end up with a crust around the edge the next morning. So... I have a heavy glass bowl that is 7" diameter x 3" high, so it just fits into my crockpot with about 1/2– 1" space around the edge. I wad up 4 pieces of aluminum foil into balls to act as feet so the glass isn't sitting on the bottom of the crock pot. Then lay the glass bowl in the crock pot. Into the bowl, put 1 cup of steel cut oats and 4 cups of water, plus a little salt. Stir. The oatmeal will stay on the bottom, but don't worry about it. Pour some water into the space between the bowl and the sides of the crock pot so it comes up about halfway — maybe 2 cups or so. Turn crock pot on low and go to bed. In the morning, a beautiful, succulent, homogenous, plump bowl of steel cut oats (without a dry edge) will be waiting for you! Hi Anne. This is how I’ve been making steel cut oats.

I have never seen them in local markets. Do you know where they can be found? I like to shop at our local natural food co-op store, perhaps they will have it there. I sometimes shop at Safeway, but I've never seem them there. Thanks Hi Anne, I really enjoyed your article about the Steel Cut Oats. I have never seen them in local markets.

We've been really enjoying the steel-cut oats for breakfast...and it's terrific to have a quicker option for getting them on the table in the morning. Thanks, Anne!
