The description says it is good for cereal. Which cereal? My oatmeal just gets mushed up in it.

It is not good for cereal. Mine became a cereal killer and is now on the run. Beware

It works only for Cream of Wheat and other wheat cereals. It's not for celiacs.

Look at the ingredients (if it has the label, mine was covered up by a UPC sticker) and it should have "Avena sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract." It doesn't specifically say "oatmeal," only Oat Kernel.

It has to be a really small batch, I use half a cup of steel cut oats and two cups of water, overnight on the porridge setting. Comes out perfect every time. I tried cooking it with almond milk, and had boil over even with a small batch, so I just stick with water and add in more of whatever I want after it is cooked. If you need more than a couple servings of Oatmeal at a time, a cooker bigger than this one might be better, I lucked out in that this is all I need for my small family.

I mix up a cup of filtered cold water and Peak powder to use with cereal. Tastes great. Not bad as coffee creamer. Primary use is making yogurt.

Danno, I had the same problem with the motor while grinding hard red winter wheat and finally finished by hand - good exercise that! I then did a pound or so of old fashioned oats and found that it handled the work without problems. My next trial will be using white wheat grain. I'll probably do that in the next week or so.

It's awesome for soup and leftovers, just not oatmeal (unless it's instant- which I don't eat) Here's info http://sistemaplastics.com/products/microwave/Breakfast-BowlPlastic but not normal cheap plastic. Won't stain or melt. We love for soup.

I use this for my cereal, and find it's well designed, not too wide for the average hand. I use one hand to pour the cereal into a bowl. I love how it looks with cereal in it!

I don't have any. I am sure there are some out there on line. I usually eat this with milk, that is left over from other cereals that I eat. I grew up eating this cereal along with others.

Using the standard white bread recipe, I replaced part of the bread flowere with a package of instant Oatmeal Cereal.. ( it measures 1/2 cup).. it gave a nice texture to the bread.. It was Cinnamon Oatmeal and wasnt overpowering, but made fantastic toast..

I cook muti-grain cereal/ steel-cut oats for 4 minutes on high pressure. I use http://missvickie.com/ for reference.

Hi Janet - I haven't used it like oatmeal but I cook it and use in salads. I simmer it in salted water 40-45 minutes, drain and rinse and its ready to go. This is *not* the semi-pearled variety most commonly seen in the US. The pearling process wears off some of the nutritious bran layer so it cooks a little faster. This wheat is not pearled, so it retains all its nutrition. A bit of extra cooking time seems a small price to pay for whole, nutritious, not to mention yummy, grain. Try searching on "einkorn porridge". I found a recipe that said to pulse the grains in a blender prior to cooking. This cuts the cooking time in half and may be what you're looking for.

I also use it for various breakfast cereals - oatmeal, quinoa, steel cut oats, etc. 2 parts water to 1 part cereal has worked for me in every case. It's important for a cooker this size to use no more than a rounded 1/3 cup or less of cereal to avoid boil over. If you want to make cereal for more than one person get a larger cooker.

I finally bought the new BBCCX20 and could not be happier. Have you tried the basic white out of the recipe book? I started with that one just to be sure it worked and then started making whole wheat with cereal, nuts, fruit, everything and I can't believe it always works. Some loaves are short and sq

It can but not with the box in it. I just empty the cereal into the container.

I haven't tried that, but we've had success with everything we tried. I do think the openings on the tray might be too big to hold cereal pieces well.
