I need to know th recipe for this container. I tried the 1 serving recipe off the Quaker Oats box and had a major explosion 3 different times.

Wow! Can't imagine what you are doing?? Maybe wattage too high? I've cooked both regular oatmeal and instant with no problems at all! Try boiling the water first in the bowl, then add the oatmeal. Either way it works for me, no problems!

I can't imagine what exploded....I put in one packet of oatmeal and 2/3 cup of water and run on high (uncovered) for 2 minutes. Never had any problems.

The first few times I cooked oatmeal I did it by guess work...I think 1 cup is to much...make seure.your using 1 minute oatmeal too and open vent.

I haven't been able to. Using as little as ¾ cup steel cut oats, on either brown or white rice settings, the water ALWAYS boils over, getting starchy water all over the top of the rice cooker and spilling onto the counter. I've determined a larger rice cooker is needed to make oats for 2 people. If others can do it, I'd love to know how.

I use the slow cooker setting at low for steel cut oats. 1 cup of oats to 4 cups of water with a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 hours. The way that I actually do it is to put 3 1/2 cups of water to start and then cook it for 1 1/2 hours. When the beeper beeps, I add the remaining 1/2 cup water and then a good handful of dried fruit--my favorite is dried cranberries. If necessary, I add additional water. Essentially what I did was take the directions from the can of steel-cut oats and translated it to the cooker. I also generally cook my oatmeal at night so that I can haul it into to work with me. It gives me something good to look forward to when I get to work. Enjoy your new cooker. Edited for spelling.

Don, There are a lot of recipes out there but the one that standouts is by Dan Leaders 4-hour baguettes. You can find it on the internet "Yeast breads.com" Food 52. I think you will find this one to be helpful. Good luck.Tony

I also threw the box away and put K-cups in another container, sorry. As a side note after seeing other comments, I used a splash of half and half with mine and I thought it was delicious! Looking forward to ordering more.

The individual packets in the big box are for 8 servings...each of those servings are 2/3 cup once prepared. My family eats larger serving sizes so even though there are only 3 of us left in our shrinking household, I still make one packet. It reheats fine--it will appear watery when leftover, just mix up the leftover potatoes and reheat. They are wonderful! The ingredients are only potatoes, butter, and sea salt plus the added milk. Hope that helps! Also, look for these at Costco around the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday season--they are about half the price as online...

I do google searches. There are different recipes to follow, so you'll have to experiment to find the one that works best for you. I used a recipe from wellness mama, it works very well for me.

After reviewing Amazon's list of consumer comments, I determined the ideal recipe to be 1 Zoji cup McCann's steel cut oats to 2 1/2 Zoji cups of water. I set the 'menu' to 'porridge.'61 minutes later, I had a perfect bowl of thick oats {I prefer my oats thick}.My second attempt was a disaster! I learned the cooker defaults to 'white rice' when you turn it off. It promptly boiled over spewing oat milk all over.So, the machine makes perfect thick creamy steel cut oats. Just remember to ALWAYS make sure the 'menu' is set to 'porridge' before pressing the 'cooking' button.

I adapted the Zojorushi1 lb bread maker booklet recipe for 100% whole wheat bread - 7/8 C WATER, 1 1/2 cups ORGANIC WHOLE WHEAT BREAD FLOUR, 1 CUP ORGANIC WHOLE FLOUR/OR 1 CUP MIXED ORGANIC MIXED GRAINS SUCH AS RYE, WHEAT BERRIES, 1/4 CUP ORGANIC WHEAT GERM; PINCH SALT, 1 TSP DRY YEAST. Choose regular/firm setting. If you add ingredients, chop coarsely nuts or "larger" dried fruits such as dates & apricots; add whole dried fruit such as cranberries, raisins -- & do not exceed 1/2 cup total. Add when the machine prompts you (beeps). Note with no white bread flour the loaf will be dense, which is my preference; the booklet has a multigrain recipe, I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it's very good.

When i was reading reviews for this, 2 people said they make steel-cut oats in it. I use my regular old 1-qt. Crock-pot to make oatmeal from rolled or steel-cut oats, and I think the 2 pots must be very similar. My 1-qt. has only one setting and it doesn't boil it.

Well, I threw in 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, 3 frozen strawberries and a handful of spinach. I didn't have any almond milk, so I added about a cup of water and 1/4 cup of almonds and blended it to oblivion. :) I thought it was delicious. Maybe the "almond milk" helped. I have put a little scoop of plain yogurt in sometimes, too. I have also done it with a couple of oranges and some ice (instead of OJ) and that worked great, too. I usually throw in some greens and can't even taste them. :)

Hello God Lover, (Love your name!) I hope you will take the time to read the review I wrote titled "time to eat healthy and there is nothing better to start the day than oatmeal" on January 8, 2015. It tells you exactly how to do it and I will buy your next can for you if it doesn't turn out perfect, but you must follow every step including the small 2 quart crock pot which I bought at Target. It works perfectly. I forgot to say stir the mixture after you put it in just before you leave it sit for four hours. Let me know. As for why I like your name, well, I happen to be a miracle sitting here...will explain if you ever want to know! Regards, Robert Hello God Lover, (Love your name!)

Bread bakes differently due to so many factors, like humidity, elevation, starter or commercial yeast, I hesitate to recommend a recipe. You could check the Great River website, and do a small loaf by reducing the recipe, see how you like it. For where I live, I need to add at least 2 tablespoons of water to the recipe I frequently use, which is from the Tasajara Bread book, the basic recipe. Since the 7 Grain absorbs more water, you need to add some, whereas with standard bread flour, probably not. I have made many delicious loaves baked in an ordinary loaf pan with the 7 Grain blend, I think the flavor is very good, and I always toast my slice. Always. Also, the bread is better 24 hours after baking, the moisture averages out thru the loaf, I just wrap it in a kitchen towel for a day, and after that it's kept in a plastic bag. I only bake one loaf at a time, but I change seeds, dates, chunky ground nuts, or even herbs, depending on what sounds good. I plan to start using my own wild yeast starter, so that will take me out of the loaf pan and onto a baking stone or a baguette baker. I have all the flours made by Great River, they do rise differently, the 7 Grain is a little more dense of a loaf, but it's great to have access to organic flours, and home made bread is worth the time. Good luck, and don't worry if you have a few loaves in the beginning that aren't terrific, that happens, it's an art, takes a little practice.

If you're preparing just one or two servings, skip the pot entirely and save yourself a lot of trouble. When using a pot, as boiling begins and the oats thicken, you need to stir or risk burning the oats, and you also have to watch to prevent boil-over. Instead, follow the directions/recipe on the bag, add the desired amount of oats and water in an extra-large bowl and microwave on high for eight minutes, which yields a slightly "al dente" texture. Watch the oats the first time you try to use the microwave to make sure the bowl you're using is big enough to avoid overflowing. No pot to watch, no stirring, and only one bowl to clean, period.

I put mine in 42-oz Quaker Oats containers in my closet for almost four months, i.e., neither airtight nor cool temperature. It's still fresh and I do not find any quality issues.

Thanks for that; that's something Amazon should correct as it's confusing, if not misleading. Old-fashioned oats are my favorite and I too would not be overjoyed with the Quick type.
