Now, before you look at it, make sure that you are sitting in a very stable chair. Or, better yet, sit on the floor so that you don't have very far to fall.

Here's the product. A device that will heat four liters (just a few ounces over one gallon) of water. Got that? Heat a gallon of water. That's it, just a water heater with a four liter capacity.

The bargain price is ONLY $174.18, and if you order it right away, it will be delivered to you by Tuesday.

I was shopping for a rice cooker a few years ago. David Troung suggested this brand. I bought one. It’s perfect. Yes, it’s pricy but it’s the last one you’d have to buy.

Expensive? Maybe, but we use it 3-5 times a week for oats, rice (as a side), one pot meals, etc. When I consider all our other cooking gadgets that don't get used (crock pot, electric frying pan, electric griddle, etc.) it was a bargain. Yes there are cheaper rice cookers on the market but I returned the Cuisinart one she gave me Christmas (with permission, of course) and bit the bullet. Money well spent.

We really prefer the steel cut oats and someone suggested soaking overnight. Bingo!
For two generous servings, 3/4 cup of oats boiled in a little less than three cups of water for ONE minute then taken off the heat, covered and left alone all night will be ready for you to have your way with it.
I place some frozen blueberries in the bottom of a bowl, give the oats a good stir then ladle the oats over the fruit and zap it for 2 minutes on high to thaw the fruit and warm the oats.
We’re back in business.
I bought a rice cooker thinking it would do the job with the steel cut oats, but got many Beancooker style messes before giving up. Big Grin
Ill have to try that. I liked oatmeal as a kid. But the stuff today doesn't seem to cook properly. Consistency is wierd. What did they change? When I was a kid my folks bought plain old Quaker oatmeal in the round container. Always had a creamy texture. Todays whether I buy the quick or regular just doesn't seem to fully cook. Very rough and kind of course no matter how we cook it.

Actually, I do eat rolled oats dry (uncooked). I like them best that way – a rather nut-like flavor. Doesn’t hurt that prep and cleanup are negligible, but that’s not my motive.

As mentioned above, I do eat porridge, but make it with oat groats.

I like my steel-cut oats on the creamy side. I use an 8-quart Instant Pot.

1 cup of Bob's Red Mill steel-cut oats
3 cups of milk
pinch of salt

Place water and trivet in the pot. Place oats and milk in a slightly smaller heat-proof bowl and place in the IP. Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. Cool. I now have four servings of oats.

Great idea! Haven’t made steel cut oats in a long time. Used to add a bit of vanilla extract and maple syrup or brown sugar to the mix. Also some milk, not just water. Then add some blueberries...I have never tried the “over night-method” either.

Yeah, I could maybe see that for a rice cooker, if you cook rice fairly frequently, and you want it done "just right," and this brand is head and shoulders above the others.

BUT, I was not referencing a rice cooker. The thing that I linked to on the Amazon site does nothing but heat water. It heats 4 liters (just a few ounces more than a gallon) of water, and it only costs $175.00. To heat one gallon of water.

I forget how much I paid for the last water heater I bought for the house, but it heats forty gallons. Razz

I have a rice cooker like the one at this Link. Mine is about 9-10 years old now so it has different colors, but is the same model number. We've done steel cut oats about 2 dozen times in it, but it mostly just makes different rices and it does everything better, faster and more consistently than we can do in the time honored ways. It was money well spent for us.

We do have a 'water heater' like above, but it's a Rosewill brand I got at Newegg.com for $39. Gets used several times a day usually.

We have a Zogirushi coffee maker and bread machine. Both have been outstanding.

Tried Irish steel cut oats oats one time. Just didn’t like them. I’ll admit I didn’t soak them overnight; maybe that helps.

If you guys haven't ever tried a good dollop of canned whole berry cranberry sauce on top of a nice steaming bowl of steel cut oats, you need to try it. It's great!
