porridge in crockpot

This might be a really stupid question, but why would you want to make porridge in a crockpot? .. It takes 90 seconds to cook rolled oats in a microwave

Issy started eating oats quite young .. six months or so (she would eat ours), mine is made with water, DH makes his with milk.

i dont have a microwave a do crockpot porridge. it means it is there for hubby when he gets up and some for when the kids get up too!

oh and like having it in a separate bowl inside the crockpot cause then it means i dont have a big clean up job if i want to put dinner in there too!

Try this recipe - makes enough for two:

1/2 cup coarse rolled oats
2 cups water
pinch salt

on low for 8 hours or overnight.

You then put it in a bowl and then put the bowl into the slow cooker which has about 3cm of water in the bottom.
It will seem to be reasonably runny when you get it out the pot, but thickens up on standing.
