Use your rice cooker to make this heart warming breakfast dish.
Place the sieved oats and water in the rice cooker inner bowl.
NOTE: Do not use milk to cook the oats, this will result in a ‘boil over’ of the contents as milk reacts
differently when heated. Only use water to cook the oats and add the milk ingredient after cooking (when the rice cooker is on KEEP WARM).
Place the inner bowl in the main body of the rice cooker, plug in the unit, select the ’PORRIDGE’ function and press the ’START’ button.
When the rice cooker turns to ’KEEP WARM’ open the lid, stir and add the remaining ingredients.
Using the timer function and soaking the oats overnight will help soften the texture.
Add any dried or fresh fruit to the porridge instead of sugar – delicious and healthy on a cold winter’s day!

We tried this in our new YumAsia rice cooker and were quite happy with the lovely hot porridge in the morning. I was wondering though: What is the purpose of shaking the oats in a sieve? Would skipping it make the porridge less creamy perhaps?
Hi Tanja, we are pleased you like the hot porridge made in your rice cooker. We advise to shake the oats first because there can be a lot of powder/small pieces in bags of oats and when the cooking cycle starts these can ‘super-heat’ and cause the contents to boil over.
