this rice cooker make steel-cut oats perfectly on the porridge setting . the measure mark for porridge be gear to rice , which be unfortunate , but 1 cup oats to 2.5 cup of water be just right . make 3 serving , which can be reheat in the microwave . Easy to use , easy to clean , and seem to be well make . much better than stir for a 1\/2 hour when you be groggy .
