There’s nothing like hot, fresh oatmeal from a slow cooker. Even steel-cut oats become creamy and smooth. Most slow cookers finish cooking the oatmeal within a few hours, however, so if you want it fresh you have to wake up at midnight to start it. With the Vitaclay® Multicooker or Pro, you can pre-program the machine to start at any time and enjoy fresh, hot, smooth oatmeal as soon as you wake up.
