    Your recipe is simple as you are entertaining. Tastes great and certainly is a great bedroom conversation piece.

    This was certainly easy to make, it was just a little strange to me. I had never had figs before except in Newtons and I guess I didn't know what to expect. It was a little thin at first but thickened as it cooled. Overall it was good.

    Great breakfast. Very quick, easy to prepare. Nothing like cooking while you sleep...

    I like mine with papaya and cranberries. I noticed that a lot of people have crockpots that burn it. Try boiling water and pouring it into a thermos to warm it up, combine the ingredients in a saucepan and bring just to a boil, then empty the water from the thermos and pour the ingredients from the saucepan into the thermos. Close the thermos tightly and let it sit til morning. you may need the help of a narrow spatula to get the contents out, but it works just as well and there is no way it can burn no matter how long it's in there.

    I left out the fruit until morning and just cooked the oatmeal. I plugged the slow cooker into a timer so it doesn't come on until midnight. That way it is ready at 6 am when we are ready to eat it. I have found that 6 hours is a good amount of time.

    I thought it would be really good, but it turned out to be slighty bland. I like the concept of waking up to oatmeal, but I thought it was lacking flavor.

    The first time I tried this it turned out great. I used dried apples and cranberries instead of dates and figs, and added some cinnamon to the recipe. Since then I have also made it using raisins, dried apricots, dried blueberries, and dried strawberries (not all those fruits at once, usually a combination of two fruits. I'm single so I usually make a crockpot full on Saturday night, then on Sunday morning I'll have a bowl right out of the pot and put the rest into containers to put in the microwave for breakfast all week.

    I'm glad I read all the reviews. I've been wanting to try steel cut oats but as soon as I found them in a local market,I was put on strict bedrest. So that eliminated standing over the stove for 30 minutes or so stirring a pot of oatmeal. Of course, since I've been put on bedrest all I want to eat is oatmeal. I can't wait to get my husband to set this up for me tonight!

    Overnight in my Crock Pot it forms a pretty heavy croute. Nonetheless, it is delicious, and I do it three days a week now. I like it best with blueberries!
