oatmeal, hot cereal

[Guest guest]

My ex-husband's grandmother used to cook hot cereal in

a double boiler. She would put it on in the EVENING on

low, and it would be cooked by breakfast.

 

I have never tried it. (I only heard about this

method...I never tasted the result!)

 

Has anyone else done this? Have you used a crock pot

to do it in?

I would use the crockpot. I remember talking about this recently -- that we

should try it again or at least once -- that it's very good and nice to wake up

to hot cereal.

 

Karen's cookbook of veg crockpot recipes (see this groups website at ,

visit the files section) contains several variations of this. if you check your

manual for your crockpot, i'd bet they have a recommendation about minimum and

maximum fills overnight.

 

here is one version

Slow Porridge

 

Recipe By :McDougall

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Cereals

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

5 cups water

1 cup oatmeal -- * see note

1/2 cup dried fruit

1 dash ground nutmeg

1 dash ground mace

1 dash ground cinnamon

 

Place water, cereal, and dried fruit in slow cooker. Stir. Cook on low for 8 -

10 hours. The mixture should be like a thick soup, so do not add milk at the

table.

 

HELPFUL HINTS: Each slow cooker is a little different from the others, so you

may have to adjust the amount of water needed. For added flavor sprinkle a bit

of nutmeg, mace or cinnamon, in any combination. Try brown rice, barley, rye

berries, whole oats, or wheat berries. Cracked grains, such as oatmeal or

cracked wheat, may get too mushy for some tastes.

We cook our morning cereal in a Japanese style rice cooker Panasonic Fuzzy

Logic Rice Cooker). We can put the grains in anytime within 24 hours and

then set the timer for when we want to it eat breakfast. Right now we are

using Arrowhead Mills 4-Grain Cereal with Flax, mixed with 1 cup steel cup

oats as our cereal of choice. Yum.
