Overcooked Oatmeal

I prefer my steel-cut oats "crisp-tender" -- one of the best things about them is that delicious popping texture in your mouth! This produced overcooked oatmeal, in my opinion, and very muted, bland flavors. I had higher expectations.

3 1/2 stars

I halved the recipe and used my 8 cup Pyrex liquid measure container inside the crock pot.  It only took 6 hours to fully cook.  The flavors were ok - this is not very sweet and I couldn't really taste the maple.  The oatmeal was nice and creamy; love those steel cut oats.  To bring it up to 5 stars I think I'd need some cream and brown sugar.

Very good! We have a large oval crock pot and cannot fit any bowls large enough into it so I cut the recipe by 1/3 and cooked for 6 hours, then crock switches to warm for another 2 hours. Turned out really good, leftovers the next morning we also good.
