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!

No. It doesn't work like an oven. And any slow cooker recipe will specify to cook on low, medium or high for a specific amount of hours.

Fred, check out the Stone Wave here on Amazon. My husband uses it a few times a week. He uses it for steamed eggs and makes scrambles for me. Stone Wave Micro Cooker

You can cook everything in this cooker. I cook from a roast, nochos, and gumbo. This is more than a slow cooker but an everything cooker. I use it daily for everything. Spaghetti tonight and it really work, I cook it before. Have fun and try everything.

This crock-pot doesn't cook, it just warms. The oatmeal would already need to be cooked.

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.

Use a regular microwave cooker, as you would for veggies. The Potato Express isn't worth your time or money.

Hi, I have the Hamilton Beach 33140 oval slow cooker. It doesn't come with recipes, but it does have guidelines to use the slow cooker. If you follow the exact guidelines, your food cooks faster than stated, so check after 2 hours on high. Enjoy.

I haven't been able to. Using as little as cup steel cut oats, on either brown or white rice settings, the water ALWAYS boils over, getting starchy water all over the top of the rice cooker and spilling onto the counter. I've determined a larger rice cooker is needed to make oats for 2 people. If others can do it, I'd love to know how.

This pot is great for one person. Its not quite big enough for a 2 person meal though..Hope this helps....

I don't use this particular rice cooker, but a similar one. I cook oat groats (whole-grain oats) using the "porridge" setting. Works fine (1/3 c. groats, 1 c. water for one person). Steel cut would also work on that setting, I believe. Give it a go.

This works just like a slow cooker except that it is clay lined. You could certainly make broth with it but you may have to restart it.

So far, I've only used the Breville Risotto/Rice cooker to make risottos and cook rice. I'm assuming, since there is a recipe book for other items, that you can cook those, too. It seems that this appliance will do anything any slow cooker will do, and I plan to try slow cooker recipes in it in the future.

Yes! I do it every nite. 1 rice cooker cup of oatmeal to 1 1/2 cups of water. I add raisins 2 the water & cook it altogether. I use the timer & its waiting 4 me in the morning! Delish!!!

What kind of rice cooker are you talking about? I used to cook lentils a "ka-ching" rice cooker and it worked splendidly. I now have a rice/slow cooker combination and it actually seems to take a bit longer to cook--so does rice but that's another story. At any rate, just be sure to plenty of fluid; and your lentils will cook up nicely.
