Has anyone cooked steel cut oats? If so, how did it turn out?

Almost every day! For one serving, I use 1/3 cups oats and 1 cup water with the Porridge setting and set it the night before on the timer function. In the morning I add a bit of milk.I double the recipe if I have company and it doesn't boil over either way, though some starch does occasionally come out of the vent on top.

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.

I have and they turned out great! I put them in the cooker when I went to bed and set the timer to be ready when I woke up. They were fully cooked but not mushy. One note is that you aren't supposed to use any dairy if you are setting the timer, so I made mine only with water and added a touch of cream when I ate them.

The product description states..."Organic Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats are simply whole oat groats that have been cut into neat little pieces on a specialized rotary granulator mill. We use high protein, whole grain oats that have been lightly toasted to create our hearty steel cut oats."

Look on the box. It's about as close to instant as food can be. Just a few minutes in the microwave. I really don't think that's right, but they claim it's steel-cut & all that.

No instructions on box to pre-wash since the dirty outside hulls removed (unlike whole brown rice, which should be pre-washed unless labelled pre-washed). We like these oats not only for gluten-free but also chewy nutty quality---though more water &/or presoaking can make "creamier"--and presoaking shortens steelcut cooking time as well as pre-sprouts steelcut for enhanced nutrition & digestability. We presoak night before in crockpot or rice cooker, then stir in salt & cook quickly on high. A commenter said add raw oats or buckwheat groats to pre-sprout since oats pre-heating destroys the phytase enzyme; but I expect only steamrolled "rolled" oats are pre-heated, not the dehulled steelcut mfr would need to confirm, so in meantime we add raw oats or raw buck"wheat"(not actually wheat, but a legume) groats to these cheaper steelcut for pre-sprouting during the presoak. Next I'm trying non-GMO gluten-free steelcut oats from VitaCost. Hopefully someone soon will sell affordable organic (non-GMO), gluten-free steelcut.

not the Steel Cut version. In fact I cook mine about 30 min. I make enough for the week and then just reheat a portion. Try the GF rolled oats or quick cooking for the uncook in yogurt idea. For yogurt I prefer some of the GF Granola.

It works great for both white and brown rice. I tried steel cut oatmeal and turned out well, but so far have not tried wheat, barley. According to the Aroma

I put 1 cup of steel cut oats, 3 1/2 cups water, a little salt, 1 tsp vanilla, and a sprinkle of cinnamon in at bedtime and set the timer for about an hour before I get up using the "soup" setting. (As I understand it, "soup" cooks at a lower temp but longer than the white rice setting.)Good stuff in the morning with milk and brown sugar.

If you are organized here is the trick!! The previous evening I put 1/3 cup of dry oats in a bowl with 2/3 cup boiling (or hot) water. In the morning you just microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and the oatmeal is perfect!! It is going to boil so make sure the bowl is big enough to accommodate the porridge as it cooks!

I did, but I used dairy yogurt as the starter. (About 1 tbsp per pint jar) I used a carton of west soy organic unsweetened plain. The only ingredients are soybeans and water. I did not scald it, just poured into jars, stirred in yogurt and set for 9 hours. It was super thick and tasted great! I would like it a little tart-er next time, so I will go to 10 or 11 hours.

Oatmeal is made by slicing (with steel blades) or rolling (between rollers) the groats, so no, I think the best you could do would be a course oat flour. Oat flour would be a great addition to baked products though.

Like other answerers here, I personally would NOT call this one gluten free because it does not say so on the package. But Bob's Red Mill does offer a specific gluten free steel cut oats and there is a good description of it on their webpage.

Yes! I do it all the time. I like the "layering" method: chopped up fresh or frozen fruit (like 1 med apple), then dry oats (1/2 cup, I use regular old fashioned), then any add ins like raisins, salt, sugar, cinnamon, (to taste) pour water over the top (1 cup) - no stirring! Just leave it like that. It never burns, but can dry out depending on the time. I like to use an old analog plug timer so it turns on about 4 hours before I get up. Seems to be perfect!

I have not used this product for cooking oatmeal, but if the owners manual says you can so that, it would be worth giving it a try. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

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.

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.

You bet! I leave it in the microwave every morning boiling up steel cut oats, and it is fine.

The quick version of the steel cut oats is just cut into smaller pieces, allowing them to cook faster than the regular steel cut. The nutritional value is the same, to my knowledge. Hope this helps!
