    I agree that you need to use a smaller crockpot. I purchased a 2-1/2 qt. slow cooker and it worked fine. I would suggest spraying the inside of the crock lightly with cooking spray to help prevent sticking. I even tried making this without any 1/2 & 1/2 or fruit and it was very good. I just reduced the oats to 3/4 of a cup. Enjoy!

    I noticed a lot of people saying that this recipe burns. I think the recipe is wonderful, and have never had it burn. When I make it, I make it in a smaller crockpot--NOT my Rival Smartpot. The quantities are simply too small to make this in such a large crockpot. If you make this in a large crockpot, it _will_ burn. Just a tip.

    I followed this recipe exactly and when cooked in my 5 1/2 Qt Smartpot for 8 hours on low it was a disgusting smelling burnt brown mess. I am so dissappointed. Alton has never led me astray before, but this was a disaster.

    I have used this overnight method a bunch of times now. I have added all kinds of dried fruits, from cherries to apricots to peaches and more. I actually have decided I like it best plain, with brown sugar, cinnamon and just a dash of milk. What a great, no wait hot breakfast. It is also one of my kids favorite breakfasts now. Thanks!

    Set this sucker going overnight along with your autodrip coffemaker and you have a breakfast that will fuel your mind and body well into the afternoon. I really enjoy these steel-cut oatmeal recipes.

    Since my Mom always cooked her oatmeal in milk, I made this with 4 cups milk and 1 cup oats, no fruit. Sooo good, thick,creamy and yummy. I portion it into dishes, refrig it and microwave it for a 2 min. breakfast.A hearty, 3 point Weight Watcher meal. Have tried it with rolled oats, prefer the texture of steel cut oats. One problem-how do I get lumps so it's really like Mom's?

    I followed the recipe precisely (which is rare for me! Everything that wasn't stuck to the bottom was mucilage. I'm going back to the normal half-hour simmer.

    If you like oatmeal, you'll love this recipe! I've made this several times and experimented a little with different combinations. For example, I substituted the juice from a large can of sliced peaches as part of the water. I omitted the figs, and served the sliced peaches on top. I've also used apple juice and dried apples with a touch of cinnamon and brown sugar. Play around! This recipe is very versatile and can be tailored to suit anyone's taste.

    This was so easy a child could do it. In fact mine did! It was also good with apples.

    The oatmeal was great. It was creamy, great flavor. Loved the cranberries but will leave the figs out next time.
