What is the finished quanity from this recipe ? Enough for two ?
I use 2 cups boiling water to ? cup oats, and that makes big amounts for 2 servings. I don't add any salt until finished cooking re AB's directions on Good Eats...V
Thanks ! I'll be making the Oatmeal tonight !
Well, I tried the oatmeal last night, but unfortunately my T-well pilot went out. I need to adjust it up a bit. Anyway, the oatmeal was a beautiful color but a cold solid mass, so I'll try again tonight...

Well, I finally made the oatmeal. Since I've never had steel cut oats before I'm not sure on how it should be. It was very creamy but a little loose and it really didn't look like enough for two people. I used the 2 cups boiling water to 1/2 cup oats. I think I'll increase the oats to 3/4 cups. I added dried orange flavored cranberries and 1 teas. vanilla extract and topped with warm maple syrup it was quite tasty.

I made the oatmeal over the weekend, and it was great. Mine was very thick and I added dried apricots and dried cherries at the beginning. After it was cooked I added some honey, and it was very good. It did make two servings, and I finished the second one this morning. I used one of my triple pots with tin foil over the top, I still don't have any lids. Thanks so much for the recipe, it's a keeper.
My first batch was thick and creamy but I was in such an early morning fog that I forgot to add anything to it and ate it plain...you know what ? It was delicious !
Lori,
I put mine in around 8PM and took it out around 8AM. It was still loose so I put it over the pilot for 1/2 hour then it was a little better but sticking to the bottom. I'm going to make it again and put it over the pilot right from the start.

Mine was in one half of a double pot slightly off center in the well. Truthfully, it was amazing how beautiful the oatmeal was...tonight I'll add raisins or dried cherries. Now, if only there was a way to do my eggs over easy in a similar fashion....
I'm going to make it again tonight for the AM. using more oats to the 2 cups water and I'll see how it turns out. I use the triple pot but don't place right over the pilot. Do you think that might have something to do with how mine turned out?
