This is perfect for cooking steel cut oats.  I prepare the ingredients in the evening, set the timer, and the oatmeal is ready for me when I wake up.   Results are just as good, if not better than the stovetop method....plus, I no longer worry about my pot spilling over needing to stay close to keep stirring.   This is a great size for up to 4 servings.

I've also found this cooker amazing with all different kinds of rice and grains.  The timer allows me to set it up during a break in my work and I can come back at the end of the day to ready brown rice, barley, and more.  Great size for up to 4 servings; I just use it for 2.
