There are no clear instructions or recipes for this item. They depict oatmeal but there is no clear instructions on how to use or make oatmeal. I don't like that you have to only blend things dry if I wanted to make my own rice cereal I would not be able to use this machine. I originally bought this machine to make baby rice cereal without all of the extra ingredients but you can only use wet ingredients in the blender. I also thought it was all in one meaning I thought that the blending part also steamed as well so you did not have to transfer anything and it would be less mess. I think this product comes off as very deceiving and their website is very little help with recipes and ease of use.
