Steel Cut Oats in a Zojirushi

I purchased a Zojirushi induction rice cooker and have been experimenting with cooking steel cut oats in it. One of the great features of the Zojirushi is the timer setting - this allows me to put the oats and water in at night, and program them to be done by 6am the next morning. Add one portion of oats to three portions water, a bit of salt and start the Zojirushi using the porridge setting. An hour and fifteen minutes later the oats should be ready. Either cooked fresh, or by timer, the oats come out wonderfully; with more texture and flavor then traditional oatmeal. Due to the decreased processing, I also believe they're better for you! I like the oats flavored simply with a bit of maple syrup.
