Hi Janet - I haven't used it like oatmeal but I cook it and use in salads. I simmer it in salted water 40-45 minutes, drain and rinse and its ready to go. This is *not* the semi-pearled variety most commonly seen in the US. The pearling process wears off some of the nutritious bran layer so it cooks a little faster. This wheat is not pearled, so it retains all its nutrition. A bit of extra cooking time seems a small price to pay for whole, nutritious, not to mention yummy, grain. Try searching on "einkorn porridge". I found a recipe that said to pulse the grains in a blender prior to cooking. This cuts the cooking time in half and may be what you're looking for.

Yes! I do it all the time. I like the "layering" method: chopped up fresh or frozen fruit (like 1 med apple), then dry oats (1/2 cup, I use regular old fashioned), then any add ins like raisins, salt, sugar, cinnamon, (to taste) pour water over the top (1 cup) - no stirring! Just leave it like that. It never burns, but can dry out depending on the time. I like to use an old analog plug timer so it turns on about 4 hours before I get up. Seems to be perfect!

Yes. Also for other recipes check out Kardenas kitchen on the internet for free video recipes. Very yummy!

It has to be a really small batch, I use half a cup of steel cut oats and two cups of water, overnight on the porridge setting. Comes out perfect every time. I tried cooking it with almond milk, and had boil over even with a small batch, so I just stick with water and add in more of whatever I want after it is cooked. If you need more than a couple servings of Oatmeal at a time, a cooker bigger than this one might be better, I lucked out in that this is all I need for my small family.

I guess you could but I would not because you will miss out the on the flavor. The recipe on the bag suggests toasting it for 3-6 minutes until the grain begin to pop before adding other ingredients. I have been eating a wide variety of grains but this is unlike any other as far as the taste and aroma. I absolutely love it! After trying it all other breakfast grains specially oatmeal taste bland. Also, the recipe suggest using one cup of Teff with three cups of water and may even need a little more water at the end. Enjoy.

I haven't been able to. Using as little as ¾ cup steel cut oats, on either brown or white rice settings, the water ALWAYS boils over, getting starchy water all over the top of the rice cooker and spilling onto the counter. I've determined a larger rice cooker is needed to make oats for 2 people. If others can do it, I'd love to know how.

Yes, it is a blend of their superfine brown and sweet rice flours. Also has tapioca starch, cornstarch, potato starch, xanthan gum. Hope that helps :)

I am sure you can. I would consider cooking it first so that it blends well and is not crunchy. I have not used it to make bread. I have used it with portobello mushrooms, eggs and onions and garlic to make mushroom burgers, and they are delicious. I have also added them to meatloaf to extend the meat. They are absolutely my favorite form of oats.

We've mixed it into oatmeal with no problem. We've also baked it into a coconut-based flatbread. It turned out great!

You can...but its whole grain. It will have a dense and heavy feel. You can substitute potato flakes for 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup and a bit of orange juice to help with flavor.

Yes, it is a similar. I'm not from the Philippines's but my husband is and he loves this rice!!! It is short grain rice, I think you will enjoy it give it a try, you won't be sorry:)

Not really. It's like a finely milled oatmeal which is why I mix it with almond milk and eat it like porridge.

I don't know the meaning of haiga rice. You cannot get fine flour, but like Semolina (hot wheat cereal).

No. I cook it and add it to recipes that I'm making. I also use it to make muffins in place of oat bran. Follow the directions on the package for grain to water. I cook mine in a veggie steamer. It comes out very thick, while it is still hot, I add more water until I get it to the consistency I want. It sort of has a nutty taste. I buy the dark brown. I personally like this with sweetener on it.

I used it to make a traditional English Trifle. It worked great and tastes exactly the way it should. Bottom layer. Strawberry Jell-O with strawberries. Next layer, pound cake. Next layer, Birds custard. Next layer, peach slices. Next layer, homemade whipped cream. Next layer, sliced pairs and topped with a few Maraschino Cherries. It cannot be made with any other type of custard. Just Bird's!

Unfortunately no. This is a highly specialized grain mill, it does an awesome job of turning typical grains into flour, but cannot safely handle nuts or seeds because they are too oily, nor can it safely handle grains with too high a moisture content. The oats I grind are borderline too moist, so I always follow them up with nice hard dry rice.
