cookingIn the interest of drumming up activity (hi, I'm stripped and I just joined recently) AND hopefully finding out something useful...
I have steel cut oats. They are AMAZING for breakfast. But. So far I've managed to make a horrid mess of my microwave every time I try to cook them. I figured out a good ratio of water to oats, and I have an idea how long they take, but I'd love hints on how to make them without the water boiling over my bowl. OR a good bowl to get for making hot grain cereals in the microwave (my oatmeal bowl is tall enough for instant oatmeal, but not for the chewier grains that take longer to cook).
I learned today that a rice cooker is right out; it was an absolute horror story.
I've heard I can do it in the crockpot overnight; has anyone tried this?
