I love oatmeal and recently read you can cook old fashioned steel cut oats in some rice cookers. Can this cook oatmeal?

Yes. Just remember to add a dash of salt to keep the volcanoes effect from happening

oat groats are also fantastic when made in a rice cooker --just use brown rice setting.

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.

This cooks multiple types of rice ... white, sushi, brown, semi-brown, etc. It has markings as to which level to fill the water to, based on which type of rice you are wanting to cook. You can even do oatmeal (steel cut oats) and porridge.

Liquids do not reach boiling temperatures, so I believe it will only heat up cooked oatmeal, not heat the water enough to cook it initially.

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.

When my ECJ-F50S rice cooker still worked, I cooked cracked oats in it all the time. Worked great on the porridge setting. You might also try letting the oats soak in the water unheated for about 12 hours first. The fiber in the oats will absorb the water while it sits and then cook more evenly. Also, add whey, lemon juice, or some wheat groats to the water at the beginning. This will help get rid of the phytic acid in oatmeal, which keeps the minerals bound up and lowers the nutritional value.

Yes! This rice cooker is pressurized up to certain amount time so you can make any rice especially, jasmine rice but if you looking for cook just plain rice I would recommend to purchase plain rice cooker with any brand. This rice cooker is little pricey compare to plain rice cooker but if plans to cook all kinds of rice then I would recommend to purchase this one. I hope this would help to make your decision.

I rarely cook rice, and have a multicooker that does that very well. I don't think you can steam rice in this because the rice will fall through the holes in the steaming basket down into the hot water below. Actual electric rice cookers are cheap and automatic, so that's the way to go.

Wow! Can't imagine what you are doing?? Maybe wattage too high? I've cooked both regular oatmeal and instant with no problems at all! Try boiling the water first in the bowl, then add the oatmeal. Either way it works for me, no problems!

Even tho I usually use rice cookers for rice...I cooked this rice the old fashioned way, on the stove. :) Good luck.

Hi LadyChrys. The answer is yes. The steamer basket is small as the rice cooker is only 5 cup. A whole fish for table-presentation will be difficult unless your curve the fish. If you don't mind cutting it into steak-like pieces, you'll be fine. I cut my fish, add onions. mushrooms, a few leeks and various fresh herbs. It always comes out wonderful. One caution however. After steaming fish, ALWAYS use the dishwasher to clean the cook-bowl, the basket and the vacuum seal nested into the lid. If not, the next time you cook rice, you'll might have a slightly fishy taste. The dishwasher, at least for me, does of much better job of deodorizing the unit. When I cook rice, I can just hand wash and it's ready to go. One other thing, even though you did not ask; learn to use the timer function for rice. It's amazing. Set it at night and your rice is all ready for you in the morning. I like to pack a little rice and a veggie for lunch at work. Love this little Sanyo. Purchased it years ago and it's still going strong. Hope this helps.

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.

I don't see why not. You really need to "google" your question and you will find many answers to preparing oatmeal in a slow cooker. Here's a great one! http://www.theyummylife.com/Slow_Cooker_Apple_Cinnamon_Oatmeal

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.

Yes! It is very easy to make with this rice cooker and it comes out great! There are lines on the inside that show you how much water to put for 0.5 or 1.0 cups of rice for porridge.

I'll add my comment to the mix.I measure the rice with the rice cup, put it in the bowl, and fill to the appropriate line based on the cups of dry rice you put in the bowl.For steel cut oats, I use the rice measure and the porridge scale, and use the porridge setting. I put in a little butter or coconut oil to prevent boilover, and it comes out spectacular.

I don't believe it would be advisable. You should the pot/crock that came with it. That said, you can prepare very small amounts, down to 1/2 cup of dry rice.
