I like this recipe and it is the only way I will eat plain oatmeal. I think it works better if you double the recipe.

Family Loved the recipe! I made it a few survings more then stated and filled the slow cooker. Variation: (1)I added cinnamon and chopped apples (2) Didn't add the half and half, just milk to taste. My son (1.5 yrs) loved it.

Four stars because it's an interesting use of the crock pot! I don't know if it's a factor of my crock pot's temperature or the kind of oatmeal I used (old-fashioned, not quick or instant) but we had none of the problems described by other reviewers. This recipe made enough for 3 people to eat for breakfast. We left out the half and half. It was very smooshy, almost lost its chewiness, which seems to have been traded in for the "creaminess" (so it loses a star). My daughter loved it, with enough sugar and maple syrup. I would make and eat this again, because it's nice to wake up to hot cereal (the slow cooker factor!).

This was pretty good oatmeal. I set it on high for 3 hrs, it had a crust on the top but once I stirred it around it softened. Thanks for a yummy and easy recipe.

I used fat free half & half and that could be partly the reason that my oatmeal had little flavor and a soggy texture, like it wasn't really cooked. I put my slow cooker on warm all night as suggested. I'm going to try this again on the low setting next time just because the oatmeal was expensive and hard to find. I don't want to waste it. I am really disappointed with this recipe.

Here's my secret to this recipe: Use a small dip size crockpot (about one quart), and keep on "warm" setting overnight - I was lucky enough to find a crockpot that small with that setting - it works just great; no sticky, overcooked oatmeal.

Awful, awful, awful. My kids love oatmeal, so I was very excited when I found this recipe. Anything to make hectic morning less hectic, right? I was very disappointed this morning when I lifted the lid of my slow cooker, only to find half of the oatmeal crusted onto the sides & bottom, and the other half a soupy mess. My son looked in and said, "Mommy, where are the oats?" I'll stick to making oatmeal the regular way.

you're right when you say this is the way oatmeal is suppose to be! I love it! I even love the sticky parts. My moms always used to stick to her pots when she made oatmeal and it was my favorite part! YUM!

I boiled the water added the dry steel cut oats and covered with lid.Wait 4 minutes then I turned off the stove and went to bed. In the morning the oatmeal is ready to be quickly heated (add the cream and sugar at that time) this is easy for those who don't have a slow cooker!

I probably did this wrong though I followed the recipe exactly, because I ended up with a load of crusty...stuff stuck to the side of my slow cooker and mass of gelatinous goop under it all. I may try it again, but not for eight hours.

The end product is excellent, but the losses from sticking to the side need to be addressed. You end up with 3 cups of usable oatmeal and about a cup of stuff stuck to the sides anbd bottom of your slow cooker. I went with 3 1/2 cups of water to see if that helps, and it still wasn't enough to prevent the sticky stuff on the sides. I have been told by someone else to try this with 4 cups and a cup of low-fat milk. That's a lot of moisture, and if it turns out to be the solutuon, the original recipe at 3 cups is way off. For taste and texture this recipe is tops, and I will keep using it and trying to fix the sticking problem. The end product is really tasty!

This was fantastic! I threw the oats and water into the slow cooker when I got up on Christmas morning, and cooked them on high for 3 hours, until everyone arrived. Then I added the salt and cream, stirred, and served. I let everyone add the amount of brown sugar or fruit that they wanted. This was hearty and thick, and so creamy! Yum!

I was excited about this, but it didn't turn out the way I thought it would. It was edible, but not something I would do again.

This oatmeal reminded me of the oatmeal my Grandmother used to make after I scraped it off the bottom and sides of the pot. Cooking it over night was way too long. The oatmeal clumped and stuck to the sides and bottom, so the next time I prepared it, I sprayed the pot with PAM, cooked it in a slow cooker for 1 hr. 15 mins on high. Stirring every 20 minutes. Added 1 cup of 2% milk instead of half and half, 1 tsp. sugar and 1/4 tsp. salt and cooked on low for another 20 minutes. Let cool. Divided it into individual bowls, put it in the frig and heated it in the microwave the next four mornings. Excellent oatmeal!

I'll never make oatmeal the "regular" way again! Don't worry about it sticking to the sides a little, just stir it well first thing in the morning, then add your mix-ins (raisins are excellent) and let it sit for a half hour or so, it's great. Wonderful left over. I don't use the cream, just add milk to taste (doesn't take much!) to individual bowls.

This was good, but some of the oatmeal settled to the bottom and and stuck there. I'll continue to check back to see if anyone has any recommendations to avoid that.

I loved this recipe. With my crazy morning schedule, I was so glad to have breakfast finished & not have to worry about cooking. Soooo easy & can flavor it any way you would like. It was definately very creamy. I thought the leftovers were even better. Soo yummy with splenda, low cal maple syrup & bananas &/or cinnamon.
