    I cook mine in a large glass bowl inside the crock pot, surrounded by water. No scorching! - 8/25/10

    I used 12 oz evaporated milk and enough water to make 8 cups and also added cinnamon and vanilla before cooking. Simmered on low overnight for 8 hours because figuring out when to cook it four 1/2 hours for breakfast didn't work for me. I like to add low sugar peach jam after it's cooked.Very tasy - 1/7/08

    Cooked this overnight on low and part of it scorched to the sides. I think my crock pot runs hot. The part that wasn't burned tasted great! Added chopped apples and cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar. Yum. - 3/11/09

    I added raisins to mine and brought it to work - VERY filling! It really does make your house smell incredible early in the morning. - 7/17/08

    This was good! I added an apple and dried craisins, plus some cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar. Oh! And some pecans. - 2/14/08

    Yum! I love this one. Simple, down-home cooking, tastes like something my grandmother would make on a cold morning. - 11/25/07

    I like steel cut oats because the consistency is a little chewier. I'd never tried them in a crockpot before, but I found that they had a consistency much like regular oatmeal. I now know I prefer them cooked on the stove. It's just a personal preference, but thought it might be helpful. - 4/13/11

    Put all the ingredients in your crock pot before you go to bed. Set your crock pot on a timer so it goes on at like 3am and by 7am breakfast is ready!!! - 1/7/11

    I waited to rate this until I'd had the first day's serving and a day of leftovers. Good! I put a little brown sugar in. Will add fruit next time.
    It burned to the sides of my crock pot, too. That was too bad. :( But the unburned part was good! :) - 6/29/10

    This is sooo good. As a single person, appreciate that I can freeze portions, defrost and have a quick and easy bowl of oatmel. Appreciated comments, added the vanilla, raisins and chopped apricots. Thanks - 5/28/10

    Love this! I really like the addition of evaporated milk. I also add 1 - 2 tsp of Sugar in the Raw and depending on my mood. I may add cinnamon, favorite berries, and sometimes a little vanilla. - 3/28/13

    This was GOOD! I made it and put it in the fridge. The next day I heated it and added blueberries and some honey. It was great for dinner and very filling! - 7/31/11

    Not my cup of tea. I, too, added vanilla and a little brown sugar. Stirred in strawberries upon serving... just didn't like it. - 1/25/11

    If you have a rice cooker use it instead...no scorching. In fact, my rice cooker has a "porridge" measure on the insert. Very good recipe. - 10/20/10

    My favorite morning treat! I add a bit of applesauce when reheating later in the week. - 10/4/10

    I enjoyed this. I added vanilla extract and cinnamon while it cooked. Then brown sugar and cinnamon in my bowl. I loved the consistency. Easy to make, too. - 9/29/10
