How to cook steel cut oats (like McCanns..)?

Question

I love steel cut oats but they take forever to cook. Does anyone know how to cook them overnight like in a crock pot or something?

Answer 1

Here's what I do.

1 cup steel cut oats
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried figs
4 cups water
1/2 cup half-and-half

In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to low heat. Cover and let cook for 8 to 9 hours.
Stir and remove to serving bowls. This method works best if started before you go to bed. This way your oatmeal will be finished by morning.
