I promised you I’d tell you how the overnight slow-cooker oats came out, and I didn’t, and I’ve had some requests.

Unfortunately, I was out of the the pinnacle of modern technology, Reynolds’s Slow Cooker Liners. This was, it turns out, very unfortunate — the oats burned onto the sides of the slow cooker and made a terrible, horrible mess that took forever to clean (requiring liberal application of Bar Keeper’s Friend). And I have an old slow cooker without the removable interior, so I can’t immerse it. I will have to say that I used a slightly higher ratio of half-and-half to water than the recipe called for, because I had some half-and-half to get rid of, but I don’t think that was particularly the problem.

The oats themselves were not bad, and maybe I’ll try the method again using the plastic liners. I think adding the dried blueberries turned out to be a great idea, as they were delicious.
