I haven't been able to. Using as little as ¾ 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.

My Lotus rice cooker makes wonderful brown rice. It also makes incredible steel cut oatmeal. I start it just before I go to bed.

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.

Yes, they can. But oats can be problematic in any pressure cooker as they tend to make foam that can rise and cause the cooker to "leak" at the gasket. I recommend cooking small amounts. But the Kuhn is good choice for oat cooking as it is tall and makes it harder for the foam to rise too much (still in small batches is best though...!)

Hi Kang ... Yes, I make porridge (actually steel cut oats) almost every morning in this rice maker. I also make grits and much more since it's nice that all is automatic and I have no worries once I hit the 'start' button. ENJOY! Chris P

I HIGHLY recommend a rice cooker for rice. I've not used this particular appliance, but own a rice cooker and it is so much easier, better, and more consistent than cooking it on the stove. Set it and forget it!

Yes, I tried that once. It worked perfectly with the rice cooker but not dry steamer

you can easily cook one cup of rice (2 cups water) in this cooker. I love mine, use it for small amounts all the time, you may wish to stir midway through the cook so it does not stick. I love my cooker.

I think this pressure cooker is not so good for cooking rice. She is very good but for cooking meats, vegetables, beans.

Never tried - would not imagine how you could. It is a steamer for dim sum, buns, etc. I would not use it for rice. Get a rice cooker - I like the 14 cup stainless steel one from Aroma - available at Amazon, but we got ours from Walmart.com

Yes you can even though that is not the purpose of a pressure cooker. The best use for this would be to cook meat/vegetable/rice faster with the build up of steam inside.

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.

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.

Yes. I have not tried it, however. It will also cook a frittata, risotto without stirring, perfect steel cut oats, polenta, and of course, rice. I especially like the heavy duty cooking bowl. The convenience has led to healthier eating.
