Homemade muesli- YES!

I think of oatmeal as more work because it requires cooking... i love steel cut oats, but they take so long to cook!

The school I used to work at (a boarding school) served it for breakfast 3+ days a week. I miss it.

I don't remember who posted about steel cut oats before, but I remember her saying she would put hers in a thermos with hot water at night and when she woke up in the morning it would be done. I have not tried this so I don't know how well it works. I usually will make it on the weekends. Yummm

I think you can cook steel cut oats in the crock pot overnight and wake up to ready oats. I have IBS though and like rolled oats.

eh. ultimately, muesli tastes better plus there's more of a balance of macronutrients than plain steel cut outs.

You can also cook steel cut oats in a smarty-pants rice cooker. I did it a few times, and it was ok, but why?

"Why" would be so you can have hot oats for breakfast without having to spend a half hour cooking them in the morning (or taking pre-cooked oats out of the fridge and nuculating them, which is the only way I ever get them). Rice cooker is actually a great idea. But, does it foam up and get the lid all gross and hard to clean?

We use the dishwasher ..but if I needed to quickly wash it, normally don't have a problem washing the cooker lid by hand.

I don't eat much oatmeal for breakfast daily..so could not justify using a rice cooker. However rice cooker sounds like a great tip for larger volumes...

On my rice cooker, if it foams up too much, the foam will go right up through the hole in the inner lid and gunk up the non-detachable outer lid. The way the vent is designed, it's a huge PITA to clean.
