I have alot of kitchen gadgets but have never had a rice cooker. The brown rice setting sounds nice. I also like that you can cook the oats and have it ready at 6 AM. Thanks for telling about it on the blog. Love your sense of humor ! Carolyn I think you have convinced me to try this particular rice cooker.

They keep well for a few days; in the morning I just microwave to reheat. I actually like them better this way, than straight from the stovetop. May have to try some of the other suggestions, too.

Get them 50lbs at a time from the co-op. I cook them in the microwave. 2 cups of water, 3/4 cup oats in a large pyrex measuring cup...8 minutes on high (while I walk the dogs) then 4 more minutes on high while I feed the dogs and make my tea. Dried cranberies are my favorite add-in. Just be sure to use a large container- if they boil over it is a really yukky way to start the day. I have steel cut oats for breakfast every morning.

My six siblings and myself would take turns at Mom's. Wednesday was my day and oats was usually on the menu. I had never cooked oats until about 8 years ago when we started staying with Mom and Dad. I got pretty good at cooking them the way they liked and bragged to my husband I could cook him some just like his Grandmother's. Well, I don't know what went wrong but they were awful. Maybe it was Mom's pan. Can't get him to let me try since. I'll have to look for some steel cut oats and maybe surprise him. I haven’t had oats since my mom passed away last year.
