If you put one cup steel cup oats in the crockpot with about 3 cups of water (give or take a little depending on how you like them) and turn the pot on before bed on WARM they are perfect everytime in the morning. You don't need a water bath or anything extra pot inside the crockpot.
Yum! I am going to try your version. I have a multi-grain hot cereal that I do in the slow cooker and we love it at our house. If interested, it's on my blog. http://www.mimisfitfoods.com. Thanks for your recipes!
Is the insert placed inside a water bath? If not, I didn't think it was good for your crockpot to be turned on "dry". I'm thinking you put the insert inside the crockpot dry and fill the insert with the oatmeal ingredients.

I didn't know I could do that! Thanks so much for sharing!
I can't wait to try this… I just need to find a dish that will fit into my oval shaped crock pot.

it's fine Alice! I know it seems weird but I do it all the time.
I am thrilled with this idea! Can't wait to try it!
