steel cut oats, can't figure cooked or uncooked

patbuck · 05-10-2005, 07:02 AM

Hey,
I'm trying to figure if the steel cut measurement is cooked or uncooked.
On the www.calorieking.com database it says:

Breakfast Cereals, Ready to Eat: Irish Oatmeal, Steel Cut
or
Breakfast CEreals, Cooked: Steel Cut Oats

Both measurement are pretty close:
40 gr

cal 158
Fat 2.8gr
Carb 27gr
Pro 5.6gr

It seems ovious that it's cooked. But what confusses me is that for normal oatmeal they write it like that:

Breakfast Cereals, Cooked: Oatmeal, instant, plain cooked.
or
Breakfast Cereals, Cooked: Oatmeal, instant, plain dry.

In that case one is dry and the other cooked but for Steel cut they don't mention it that way.

So any one knows what's the correct way to measure it ?
Because it can make a uge difference in Cal and carb if you go dry or cooked.

1/4 cup steel cut oatmeal equals 1 cup cooked

patbuck · 05-10-2005, 08:59 AM

ok But what is the nutritional fact of 1/4 cup dry or 1 cup cooked?

the nutritional fact would be the same, because 1/4 C dry = 1 C cooked

OK thanks I know it's going to be the same but what is it?
xx cal
xx pro
xx carb
xx fat???

I see what you mean; their calculation method makes it a bit cryptic. 1/4 cup dry, or 1 cup cooked would be approx. 6g protein, 29g carb (5 of these are fiber, though, so it is net=24g carb) and 3-4g fat, approximately. Cals ~ 150-175 or so.

This is really weird because if you look on their web site:

http://www.calorieking.com/foods/foo...52969&partner=

They say:
Breakfast Cereals, Cooked: Steel Cut Oats
1 cup 6oz
cal 680
fat 12
carb 116
pro 24

So the product title says "Breakfast cereals,cooked", but the measure they show is when the oats is uncooked (Dry).

That is what you are saying?

yeah, basically their info (here) is not accurate. A cup is 8oz. 1 cup dry would yield probably close to 4 cups cooked, and THAT would give you the 680 cals, 12g fat, 116g carbs, 24g pro. Divide those numbers by 4 and you get the single serving numbers.
