I gotten two different rice cookers for specifically doing that, but every time I've tried it, the mixture erupts all over the cooker, the counter, the floor, etc. What's your secret?

What’s your secret?

It has a porridge moe that works pretty well. I'm not a steel-cut oats connoisseur, I've only ever had what I cooked for myself... (both traditionally and in the cooker) but I like the result. We lucked out a year or so ago when we got it cheap ($55) on amazon... (currently $129) Tom we have the Zojirushi NS-KCC05. It has a porridge moe that works pretty well.

I adore it, and it's great for feeding just me, but when it comes to feeding a crowd, my mom's 10-cup Tiger is fabulous. I have a 3-cup Zojirushi and have for about four years now.

But, strangely, the 10 is not that much larger a machine than the 5, so what the hell. My parents have a 5 cup, and I’m thinking that maybe it’s a better size.

(I love s-c oats, and if the lil' Z did porridge right, I might have to buy one.)

It is excellent, but it works best with 3+ cups of rice. So a year or so ago we bought a 2-3 cup Zojirushi (found on Amazon) and the thing simply rocks. It couldn't be easier to use, and it makes the perfect amount of rice. It will easily keep the rice in relatively good condition for over a day. It's also good at making Quinoa and steel cut oats.
