Alton Brown on TVFood Network's show, Good Eats, did an episode on Oats. I found it interesting, tho I'm in the dark on how appropriate oatmeal is. Seems it should be good, but I can't really tell from the food label. Anyway, there's a link to the show here:

One of his suggestions was to use a crock pot and cook overnight.
