I often use the weekends to prepare food for the week. Yes, I have even made larger batches of oatmeal on the weekend to reheat during the week.

I don’t like the packages of instant oatmeal, they have a lot of extra ingredients in them, and they also have a lot of sugar. So I like to purchase a better quality of oatmeal and prepare it in a large batch.

Large Batch Oatmeal

For this large batch oatmeal recipe, you could make it on your stovetop or in a multi cooker. I know not everyone has a full kitchen to prepare food in, and an appliance like this could easily take care of a lot of your food preparation needs.

For this bat, I opted to make apple cinnamon oatmeal. Fresh apples and cinnamon are a delicious pairing. Fresh apples give oatmeal a natural sweetness and savory cinnamon balances it beautifully.

If you are looking for more types and flavors of oatmeal recipes, I recommend the Oatrageous Oatmeals cookbook.

This week I have been testing out the Cosori Multi-Cooker. I was sent this appliance to review. Note all opinions are my own.

If you are unfamiliar with Multi-Cookers, they have been around for a while. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have an infinite amount of space in my kitchen, so I have to really think through small kitchen appliances very well.

I love appliances like multi-cookers because they can do so many different things. A multi-cooker can:

• Steam
• Slow Cook
• Saute
• Boil
• Brown
• Bake

I tested this multi-cooker by making hard-cooked eggs by steaming them, making macaroni and cheese, and large batch oatmeal. I have been very pleased with the variety of food preparation with this multi-cooker.

More foods that would be ideal for a multi cooker

I could easily envision using a multi-cooker for the holidays. With large gatherings, it’s hard to figure out who is going to use the stove and in what order.

With a cooker like this, you could easily make some mashed potatoes, other vegetables, and heat up soups and cocoa. I have actually brought a device like this to a potluck and finished cooking my food while at my potluck.
