Until 2 months ago, I've always used a plastic liner inside/pretty fabric outside. I periodically threw both the liner and the fabric in the wash and they held up just fine. Then we moved into a new apartment with a clawfoot tub, and I couldn't stand to have my pretty fabric curtain covering the awesome shape of the tub. SO, for the last two months I've been doing a little experiment...I took down the plastic liner and hung a (shortened) version of the fabric curtain on the inside of the tub. It's 100% cotton and seems to dry just fine as long as I pull it shut after showering. So far it hasn't gotten icky, and no water has escaped out onto the floor or walls or anything. I love it!!!

Like Randi Lynne and debbiek, I use the crock pot water bath method. We have yummy oats every morning! The hardest part was finding a bowl to fit the crock pot...finally found a silicone one like this: http://www.amazon.com/iSi-Basics-Flexible-Silicone-Mixing/dp/B000S17162.

The recipe we use is:

1/2c Bob's Red Mill Steel Cut Oats
1 pinch kosher salt
1c skim milk (we also tried whole milk but the final taste was not as good)
1c water

Put it all in a small bowl that will fit inside your crock pot. Fill crock pot about 1/3 full with water. Place the small bowl with oats, etc., into the water bath. Cover crock pot and cook on low. Feeds two adults.

The timing on this is pretty flexible...we have found that you need a minimum of 5-6 hours to get decent oats, but you can leave them cooking for waaaay longer and they still taste surprisingly good (12 hours or more!).
