Does it cook oatmeal?

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

No. I boil 4 cups water, add 1 cup of oats and simmer (uncovered so they don't boil over) for 35 minutes. Some will stick to the bottom even with frequent stirring. After serving up, I soak the pan in water and it scrubs clean without too much effort.

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

Fits nicely in the microwave....whether the oatmeal overflows or not would depend on the amount of oatmeal you're cooking

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.

No, but I do just to make sure it doesn't overcook. It cooks faster than you expect. But you can check visually.

I think it does. If you look in your cook book you should have received you'd see all grains it cooks and directions. If it was not included call the manufacturer and request one mailed to you for free. That's what I did.

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!

I haven't tried. But one of the reviewers here said it does.Click on the Amazon page for this product: Prep Solutions by Progressive Microwavable Omelet MakerScroll down to customer reviews, and read the first one: by The Ryan Abrams January 22, 2009. Summed up he said he uses eggbeaters, and the omelet maker is actually why he can make eggs the way he wants every morning.

Some of you say you are able to cook in this bowl and others say it overflows. I use quick and easy steel cut oatmeal. Does this type cook well in the bowl without overflow?

Last night I put oatmeal ingredients in, programmed it to steam for ten minutes at midnight, after which it switched to warm mode until I turned it off in the morning (I didn't see any way to use the delay function to go directly to warm mode). This morning it's just like the oatmeal I make over night in the crock pot.

have not tried it yet. Hoping for it to work for oatmeal cooking with easy clean up. I do have their rice maker and use it all the time. Really easy clean up and no mess on the bottom like a rice steamer.

No. It comes with basic instructions on cooking with it and cleaning it but it does not include recipes.

Yes. Make the batter the day before. Cover and allow to sit overnight in refrigerator. This will allow oats to absorb moisture. Before using, add additional milk/water to obtain right consistency.
