We use 1 cup steel cut oat to 3 cups of water and use the brown rice setting on the dely cooker almost every day for 3 months. Perfect every time. I have forgotten to use the brow rice setting once and I had a mess in the morning

I have only used my silicon rice cooker once with less than stellar results. However, I think that with a few tries it might work well. The silicon steamers are the ultimate for veggies, potatoes, or an occasional chicken breast. I couldn't live without it, but the jury is still out on the rice cooker. Ann mcD

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

Yes, this is the perfect size. In fact, the recipe I have makes 3 servings and I've found that it cooks steel cut oats perfectly, and they re-heat great with a little extra milk. Great time-saver for being able to have breakfast before work! The recipe can be found in "Vegan Slow Cooking For Two - or - Just For You" by Kathy Hester. She also has a blog online where a bunch of recipes are posted. (Pear Rose Cardamom Oatmeal) I substituted an apple for the pear and skipped the rosewater, but love the cardamom!

It does a fantastic job cooking steel cut oats. I have not tried processed oatmeal but I am sure it will.

I have never done that but it would make sense to me that it would be possible. Of note: I leave my rice sitting in water much of the day, it absorbs the water so when I press "on" to cook it at night, it cooks up in a jiffy. I would probably try putting the oatmeal and water in this the night before, let it sit in the water overnight and see if it cooks up quickly in the morning. Oatmeal is really cheap so worth the try, even if it doesn't succeed. BTW, my husband has high cholesterol which I managed to get down to normal limits via diet and fish oil/slow release niacin. One oatmeal recipe he loves: put apples slices (with peel) in a pie plate sprinkle oatmeal all over it and mix with the apple slices sprinkle cinnamon on top dot copiously with butter (kerrygold grass fed butter or better yet clarified butter - ghee - which I get from a health food store0 bake at 350 until apples are done. Very satisfying dessert and full of fiber!

I put 1 cup of steel cut oats, 3 1/2 cups water, a little salt, 1 tsp vanilla, and a sprinkle of cinnamon in at bedtime and set the timer for about an hour before I get up using the "soup" setting. (As I understand it, "soup" cooks at a lower temp but longer than the white rice setting.)Good stuff in the morning with milk and brown sugar.

Thanks for your post--I called Sanyo customer service and they said cooking beans are fine. I haven't tried that yet. I have made rice numerous times in the cooking already and the results have been fantastic!

I'm eating Bob's Red Mill steel cut oats right now, prepared in a regular stainless pot, same as every morning and they are delicious! Crock pot sounds a bit longer than my usual 20 minutes.

After reviewing Amazon's list of consumer comments, I determined the ideal recipe to be 1 Zoji cup McCann's steel cut oats to 2 1/2 Zoji cups of water. I set the 'menu' to 'porridge.'61 minutes later, I had a perfect bowl of thick oats {I prefer my oats thick}.My second attempt was a disaster! I learned the cooker defaults to 'white rice' when you turn it off. It promptly boiled over spewing oat milk all over.So, the machine makes perfect thick creamy steel cut oats. Just remember to ALWAYS make sure the 'menu' is set to 'porridge' before pressing the 'cooking' button.

No, I never received a response. I chose to buy the rice/pasta cooker (and steamer) by Aroma. I am very happy with it.I don't recall if the VitaClay manufacturer's website had the specs you are looking for, but that's where I'd start.Good luck...

No. I boil it in water for a few minutes and then usually some regular oats for another couple of minutes boiling or med. heat. The steel cut oats then give the cereal a nice texture and flavor. Enjoy!

I have not used this product for cooking oatmeal, but if the owners manual says you can so that, it would be worth giving it a try. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I use the slow cooker setting at low for steel cut oats. 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 hours. The way that I actually do it is to put 3 1/2 cups of water to start and then cook it for 1 1/2 hours. When the beeper beeps, I add the remaining 1/2 cup water and then a good handful of dried fruit--my favorite is dried cranberries. If necessary, I add additional water. Essentially what I did was take the directions from the can of steel-cut oats and translated it to the cooker. I also generally cook my oatmeal at night so that I can haul it into to work with me. It gives me something good to look forward to when I get to work. Enjoy your new cooker. Edited for spelling.

Don't forget to rinse your steel cut oats. I use McCann's and have to rinse the oats 5 or 6 times before using.
