Persimmons are an ephemeral fall fruit that we can’t help but snatch up when they appear in grocery stores from October through early December. Their sweet and pulpy interiors have a subtle astringency that pairs well with spiced oatmeal. In this recipe we slow cook the cardamom-almond oatmeal in one pan and quartered Hachiya persimmons in the other. The slow and gentle temperature dries out the persimmons and concentrates their flavor.

Is it just me or is it missing the cook setting for the top chamber?
Hi Tony, whenever you set Suvie to Slow Cook it will automatically apply the same time and temperature to the other zone, so you don’t need to set it twice.
