Has anyone tried making steel cut oatmeal in this model?

I would recommend you call the manufacturer and ask them directly, they have good support.

Thanks - that encourages me to experiment. The first thing I tried after rice was oatmeal but got the proportions wrong and it boiled over into a great disaster! With a lot less liquid now I don't use any other method for steel-cut oats - so easy!

Used 1 rice cooker cup McCann's steel cut oats and 3 rice cooker cups water, used the soup setting. I set the timer for it to be done the next morning. Worked great, no burning, no mess, and the best steel cut oatmeal I've ever had.

To me there is a big taste difference. The steel cut oats have a better/chewy texture and nutty flavor The quick oats are partially cooked and rolled flat. which does deplete flavor and nutrient value, in my opinion.

Sorry I have not. I was making dog food so I just switched to boneless meats. Didn't want to spend more money on another machine.

never made rice in it, but have made oatmeal in it. so I would think if you can make one you could make the other.

For smaller amounts (0.5 Zoji cup) of steel-cut oats, I use 3 parts water to 1 part oats, soak overnight, and cook on the "white rice" setting. It comes out perfectly. Using the "porridge" setting yields very watery oatmeal, even when soaked overnight.Perhaps it's the larger amounts, like 1-2 Zoji cups, that need to be set on "porridge" to avoid boil-overs.

I didn't check features of the smaller models. But the 5.5 cup NS-YAC10 is a great machine - the umami setting produces fantastic white rice - as good as a restaurant - and I also the porridge setting to easily make steelcut oatmeal overnight and have it fresh in the morning. I normally make small quantities of rice - e.g. 1/2 american cup dry - and it works fine. But nice to have the larger capacity for an occasional big party.

Ummm, I would'nt think so. I have used mixed in oatmeal and it works great for that. Hope that helped?

I make steel cut oats several times a week and it comes out perfect. I use a 1:4 ratio of oats to water, usually 1/2 cup of oats in the Zojirushi measuring cup, on the porridge setting. Some water will boil over so I fold a paper towel and put in under the rear edge of the top vent where it catches most of the water. Cooking more than 1/2 cups oats at a time might result in much more boil over. Recently tried a 1:3 ratio and oats seem just as good with much less boil over.

Yes you can. I put one cup steel cut oats, 2 cups water and 2 cups milk. Cook 6-8hrs. Comes out perfect. Also, make sure you spray the liner with nonstick spray before you add ingredients.

I make oatmeal in mine, but it's done in 3 minutes, and the handle is not hot.

Yes, I do it all the time! I use my Keurig to put about 10 ounces of hot water in the inner pot, then add one serving of steel cut oats (about 1/2 cup). I also add a teaspoon of Splenda brown sugar blend and a dash of vanilla. I set it going around 10 p.m. and in the morning (usually around 8 a.m.) I have a nice, perfectly done serving of oatmeal. I add a little milk and sometimes some nuts or dried fruit just before I eat.

I have not but it sounds like something I would like to try. I'm sure it would work, it would just have to be sliced in half most likely.

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.

We've mixed it into oatmeal with no problem. We've also baked it into a coconut-based flatbread. It turned out great!

I have. I like a typical baguette not a square loaf like the bread maker makes. It works perfectly.
