    I am going to give steel oats a try...I have been reading these reviews, and it looks like most have had good luck, and some have not. I think I will try mine out on "warm". But I wonder if those that did not have good results used steel oats or rolled oats??? It could just be the crock pot. Well, here it goes...

    I made this recipe and like many before me, I burned it, although my kids did eat it and still enjoyed it. I cooked it again during the day to help moniter the cooking time because all the chefs mentioned different cooking times based on different crockpots. It cooked in about 3 1/2 hours. So, I will have to use a timer to have it ready in the morning if I set it up the night before. Well worth the work. MUCH better than instant or 1 minute. Again, very very easy to adjust.

    I DESPISED OATMEAL before this FABULOUS recipe!! I've cut it in half to please the 2 oatmeal eaters in our home, and cut the add-ins as well. I prefer it a little more solid and creamy so here goes: 1/2c steel cut oats; 1 1/2 c water; 1/2c half n half. EXCELLENT! THANK YOU, ALTON...my family LOVES you!

    First of all, I took into account the fact that most of you got burned oatmeal. So I followed the recipe exactly except I cooked it for 9-10 hours on warm. Turned out perfect! I have a 5 quart (warm/low/high settings Hamilton-beach crock pot. The figs weren't my favorite, though that is just a personal preference. It is a lot sweeter than I expected but a touch of salt right before eating helped to cut through it. DELICIOUS!

    Okay, i've only made this once and yes, as i am ashamed to admite it, this is the first time i've ACTUALLY used a slow cooker. It was a good recipe however i didn't add any dried fruit to it and didn't reduce the water so it came out....gooey. But i can see the potentional. Next time i'll cut the water down and try again..
    Good though.

    My kids love this recipe so much that they won't eat other oatmeal. Their friends parents are telling me that their kids won't eat "regular" oatmeal either. I even took it into work for an office "heart-healthy potluck" and it was quite the hit (I used a big crock port and made a double batch -- all gone.

    This is a great recipe to experiment with. I have great luck with replacing some of the water with maple syrup, and some brown sugar. I have also used applesauce (to kind of replace some of the water, dried apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves to end up with oatmeal tasting like apple pie.

    Great recipe AB.

    One thing to be careful of though ... if your crock pot does not have a temperature control on it, then it will be like cooking on high -- so you will need to cut the cooking time in half.

    This oatmeal is, hands down, the best I've ever eaten. I will not eat that instant slop they call oatmeal. There's a place in Center City Philly that makes amazing oatmeal, and this even beats it.

    I bought a Proctor Silex 1.5 quart slow cooker specifically to make this oatmeal, since I'm cooking for two people. I used a 5qt slow cooker liner bag, which I trimmed to size. I used 1c of steel cut oats and 4c of water. I added nothing else during the major part of the cooking time. Cooked it for 7.5-8 hours.

    At about 7 hours, I added in 2 tbs of vanilla and 1/2c of brown sugar, stirred and let cook for another hour. Added fresh banana, strawberries, chopped walnuts and a little more brown sugar. I never added any milk/cream because of lactose intolerance, and it was definitely not needed. It was a perfect breakfast that I will be looking forward to having every morning!!

    I love watching Good Eats and though many of AB's recipes seem difficult I was excited about trying this one because it looked so easy. I took notes while watching the show a few months ago, then came to this website to verify what I had written down. I followed the directions exactly and after 8 hours my oatmeal was completely burned! To my surprise, there were MANY people who reviewed this recipe reporting the SAME problem. I would like to know how many "it was burned!" reviews are needed for Food Network to finally revise this recipe so it won't happen to another person? I suppose that is why the Comments and Reviews section is here but i never thought I'd have to consult that for an Alton Brown recipe. I am very disappointed and I will never make another recipe from this site without first reading the comments and reviews. :-(

    To avoid oatmeal sticking to the pot (and possibly burning spray the bottom and sides with a non stick cooking spray.

    First, I definitely believe that this recipes' success depends on which type of crockpot you have. I have the Hamilton Beach "Stay N' Go" crockpot with the lid that has hinges to keep it tight if you have to transport it. It is also the Stay N Go with the digital cooking controls on it (they have one w/o it too with setting just like "Keep Warm, Low, Med, High". I made this recipe to the T except I didn't have half n half so I used regular milk and also I didn't add any dried fruit b/c I didn't have any.

    Then, I put the lid on and set the crock pot to shut off in 8 hours and also put it on the "Low" setting as suggested. I went to bed and forgot about it. When I woke up everything was fine and nothing had burned AT ALL. It was very delcious however a little "gelatinous??" for my liking. So I think next time I would maybe use about 3-1/4 cups of water instead of 4 cups. However after it set for a little bit it seemed to firm up a tad. I added a little brown sugar and some frozen mixed berries that I defrosted and it was DELICIOUS!!!

    Like I previously said it really depends on the crockpot but I think with some minor adjustments almost anyone can get this to work with their crockpot.
