    Oh shit. I’m sorry about that.

    Does your rice maker look like this guy?

    Or does it look more like this guy?

    That second one is the one I have and that recipe works as described in that rice cooker. If you’re using one that’s more like the first one, it may heat too quickly and boil over if I had to guess.

    If that’s the case, I’d probably just halve all the ingredients… a whole cup of steel cut oats is 4 servings based on the Nutrition Facts on the carton, so depending on how many people you’re feeding so your mileage may vary. If you find you’ve got room in the rice cooker with half the ingredients above, then adjust accordingly.

    Keep in mind, raisins soak up quite a lot of moisture when they cook… more or less on the raisins will change the texture of the final porridge, so if you go less with the raisins, you might consider cooking it longer to evaporate some more of the moisture off and get a thicker porridge.

    Again… sorry I wasn’t more explicit with my description in my first comment. Good luck on the next attempt.

    We’ve been getting insane mileage out of our rice cooker since we bought it back in May. It gets use almost daily, if not for rice but for oatmeal in the morning.

    It’s a 3 “cup” Toshiba rice cooker (as in the cup that came with the rice cooker which seems to be 3/4 of a US customary measurement cup) and has all sorts of fancy cooking modes.

    1c steel cut oats

    2-3 cinnamon sticks

    1/4 tsp each of ground ginger, cardamom, and allspice

    1/8ish tsp ground clove (that stuff is so freaking pungent)

    Some fresh ground nutmeg

    1/2c raisins

    1/4c ish of brown sugar

    A good knob of butter

    Steel cut oats go with around a 4:1 ratio of liquid to oats, so I usually do 2c of milk and fill it to the 0.5 line on the porridge scale written on the cooking liner. Takes a full hour and a half, but is worth the wait.

    And it makes cake. The mother fucker makes CAKE! Love it so much I gifted one to my parents for Christmas.

    For standard utensils, silicone spatulas are great, but I recently discovered this thing that is basically a silicone spatula in the shape of a butter knife. AMAZING!

    He’s legit in a position where he can tell them to lick his nuts if he wants to. He was World Champion for like 5 or 6 years and decided to not defend his title because he didn’t feel like it. He routinely arrives late to arranged matches and usually still crushes despite his clock starting before he arrived. There’s no one who can really argue that he isn’t the greatest of all time, and he knows it.

    I seriously have a difficult time believing that he was unaware of the dress code since it was that way since forever… and he apparently hadn’t been playing too well this time around which has led some to speculate that this was an intentional theatrical display to have an excuse to leave the tournament. I expect he will put a bit more effort into his remaining games.
