Baked oatmeal is easy and easily reheated. It only takes 35 minutes to bake. Never tried the overnight variety because of this.

I haven't eaten oatmeal for years, but if anyone has an Instant Pot, I hear they're wonderful for steel-cut oats.

Made this today and had for late lunch. Yummy! Tomorrow is oats, yoghurt, almond milk, apples, cinnamon and chia seed.

Never have tried overnight - though I have rolled oats most mornings. My twist. Rolled whole oats, a few walnut halves
broken up, cinnamon, 1 cup blue berries, 1 T ground flax seed, almond milk - oh so good!

So, I gave up on steel cut or pinhead oats years ago because of the cooking time. I went back to old fashioned rolled. But recently I bought a box of pin head oats and decided to try cooking them overnight in the slow cooker. Well, I was very pleased with the result. Very creamy and hearty. The problem is, I'm not going to cook up one single serving batch a night. So I made a weeks worth. The first day, fresh out of the cooker was delicious. But unlike cold rolled oats, it did not reheat well. It was a solid heart sheet of coagulated pinhead oats that resisted being reblended. The lumps stayed put and wouldn't cook or smooth out. Not as nice at all. Any suggestions? Should I add more water than 4 to 1? Would the resulting absorbion make a creamier batch that would reheat well? I don't want to buy another gadget. What's the best approach to this?

I dont understand the problem with steel cut oats. We cook ours one time a week and refrigerate. Hubby scoops out a chunk, puts some milk on it and microwaves it for a minute or so. Hot and creamy. I actually like it better after it has a chance to absorb more liquid and sit around.

We also did find quick cooking steel cut oats at Costco. Still like them better the next day.

A friend of mine puts steel cut oats in a crock pot and cooks it overnight. I've been dying to try that, but I only have a 6 qt crockpot.

What is the ratio of water-steel cut oats for overnight in the slow cooker?

I have read 4 to 1. The first day was lovely. After that it was hard to reheat. I might try adding more water this week.

I would like to add that I have solved this problem. I now am putting 1 cup of steel cut/pinhead oats into the slow cooker and adding 5 to 6 cups of water. What a difference! Soft, creamy, not at all stodgy oatmeal that spoons up lovely every morning for the week. I add chia seeds, walnuts and raisins when I reheat in the morning. What a difference!

I also tried this and it was yummy. at first i was thinking that it would taste bland or something because it is healthy food. but it came out so yummy and i tried it with different fruits

The toss anything in the mason jar now has become a lunch favorite now.

I enjoy oatmeal but sometimes, I get tired of the taste despite of what the variety of what I put with it. Recently I blend it so it can be easily taken. Well, I got to try overnight oats soon.

I've heard that too. And cheesecake! IP is a real treasure of an appliance.

I have heard about instant pots, I am now going to check out what and how and price of these.

I like the six-quart Duo. Look for sales--the Amazon Day sale mid-Summer is good.

I've made oatmeal in my IP and it was the best oatmeal I've ever had. My brother did a cheese cake that he said was to die for

[BikingLady]

Still doing the overnight oats. I have not made cooked oats since.
