It’s not that cooking oatmeal the regular way is hard—but rice cooker oatmeal is so much easier. And who wants to spend the time standing over a stove stirring a pot anyways?

Plus, most rice cookers also have the benefit of easy-to-clean nonstick pots. That’s right—no more scraping scorched oats off the bottom of a saucepan. And if your rice cooker has a timer, feel free to set up your steel-cut oats the night before and wake up to a piping-hot bowl of creamy oats.

The Best Toppings

There are endless ways to top off a bowl of warm, nutty oatmeal—whether you prefer savory or sweet flavors (or a mix of both).
