The flavor of this wasn't bad, but the texture was strange to me. It was very soupy, and nearly all the oats had been turned to mush. Sorry, I will not be making this again.

This is a nice easy recipe good for busy mornings. I bought one of the new crockpots about a year ago. It tends to run hotter than I'd like, so I cook this recipe on the warm (not low) setting. When I tried it on low, it came out too mushy. If you like your oatmeal on the thick side, try using only 2 cups of water.

I followed the previous reviewer (emmy) and made it in a pan the night before. I omit the salt, and added the milk- instead of cream- and sugar in the morning. It is delicious every time!!

I'll have to try again. I used my mini crock pot as suggested and added raisins - again as suggested by another reviewer. What a mess! Turned purple and tasted like raisin mush. I must have not had the proportions of liquid to oatmeal correct either. The sugar cooked out of the raisins and formed a crust, a purple crust, on top. Was rather bizarre. I will try again though because I do enjoy a hot bowl of oatmeal on a cold morning but don't want to wait for it to cook.

Well, it WAS creamy. My husband frequently has to be at work at 6 am, after I've had to work until 10pm the night before, so we liked the idea of using the crock pot. Although after reading so many problems concerning the crock pots, we decided you all were using pots that are too large. We cooked ours in a 1-1/2 qt. crock pot, following the recipe. We weren't happy with the texture. Maybe next time, we'll use a little less water overnight, then add a little more cream in the morning. We really like the idea of it so we're not going to give up on it.

I loved this easy oatmeal recipe! It tastes so much better than the usual way. I used gluten free oatmeal, and had no problems with sticking. Love it topped with fresh fruit! I think next time I'll use a little less water and add some vanilla, and another time cinnamon and apple! Thanks for this yummy breakfast!

I did not care for this recipe. Maybe my low is just not low enough. It developed a really thick crust. Can't beat microwaving it.

This oatmeal recipe was delicious! I used steel cut oats and it turned out very good. I also doubled the recipe and it served seven people with a little bit left over. Thanks for this awesome recipe.
