Yes. If you use the stovetop, we recommend using a double boiler. You may have to halve the above recipe to accommodate the size of most double boilers. Combine 4 cups water, 1 cup steel-cut oats, 3 tablespoons dried cranberries, 3 tablespoons chopped dried apricots and ⅛ teaspoon salt in the top of the double boiler. Cover and cook over boiling water for about 1½ hours, checking the water level in the bottom of the double boiler from time to time.<\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "What’s the best way to store leftovers?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
This oatmeal is best served right out of the slow cooker<\/a>, but if you have leftovers, they can be stored in the refrigerator. Any leftovers heat up nicely in the microwave. The oatmeal will continue to thicken as it sits, so you may need to stir in additional liquid to get it back to its creamy consistency.<\/p>"
