I do pretty much the same with steel cut oats, I make enough for a
week. The slow cooker is perfect for this, it cooks all night so it's
pretty much sterile... might sit out four hours to cool, then it goes
in fridge... I make mine without milk, I use water, but I add about a
1/2 a stick of butter (prevents sticking). I've never had a problem
with it spoiling.

Sheldon,

Damn, I must be doing something wrong. The last bunch o' times I've
posted, you've agreed with me. If I can't get flamed by Sheldon, who
can I get flamed by? Is the sun not going to rise in the east
tomorrow?

Happy Holidays,

Ken

Sheldon,

haven't gotten to him yet.
