I live alone. I'd like to make pinhead oatmeal in my slow cooker overnight, but it won't work on too small a quantity. So what should I do with the left-overs?

Wee Mary had the only good idea, but I don't have a microwave. Does it get solid enough in the fridge that I could slice it and fry it like corn meal mush? Anybody?

I love slow-cooked oatmeal so I do this all the time:
Make a batch of oatmeal. Cool completely, then divide into serving-sized portions and store in the refrigerator.
Reheating: Place a serving into a microwavable bowl witha small amount of milk or water; cover loosely to allow steam to vent. Heat for a minute, stir, add flavoring to taste. Heat for another minute or so to achieve the desired consistency.
You can also add some protein powder -- you'll need more liquid, and it will make the oatmeal stickier anyway but you'll get more nutrition.
Enjoy.

Unless you use a lot of water your left over oatmeal should get thick once it cools. If it's runny put it in a sieve and let it drain. You can try frying up what's left, but I don't know if it'll work well with oatmeal- worth a shot I guess.
