Thread: oats, oats, and more oats!

Instant oats from wally world.

i just eat plain rolled oats.

Alway old fashioned oats or scottish oats. I don't eat anything with the label "instant"

quaker oats

Jodi my time is of the essense. Instant for me when I do eat em. However, I eat them very rarely. Just dont like em much

Old fashioned rolled oats only take 3 minutes in the microwave and they are a lot healthier for you.

Hum.....I actually didnt know that. Good thing I eat oats about once a month then huh?

That's what I was going to say. The non-instant kind only take about two more minutes to cook.

Also good. I think I'll have some right now.

3 minutes for normal rolled oats? I microwave them for about 1min to warm them up a bit, throw some cinnamon on, and I'm done.

my rolled oats take about 10 seconds for me to scoop them out into a bowl and throw yoghurt on. why does everyone microwave them?

Quaker oats from walmart. i eat 3-4 cups of oats aday. just measure it out, put it into a bowl then pour green tea with it and drain the green tea out then its good to go thats what i do.

I cook mine in milk every day for breakfast.

Ditto. I take the smallest dose on the cyclinder shaped box before I work out and sometimes, I take the 2nd dose listed after I workout.

And I am the only asshole on here that uses a stove.

I hardly ever cook my oats or oat bran. Either soak in yogurt or in my shakes.

Yeah I just get the old fashioned organic rolled oats in the big cyliner deal. They taste good (no different from the standard quaker) and with green tea or just water it's 2-3 minutes tops, microwave, stove who gives a crap.

I love a great morning shake, just poor 1 cup of oats in the blender with some organic plain yogurt, skim milk, whey, and frozen berries.... there's your calcium, live culture, carbs, antioxidants, protein, and just plain satiation right there.

...now I'm hungry

What is the difference between oat bran and oatmeal?

I use a stove as well, they are nasty in the microwave.

It's quicker in the microwave since the microwave radiation causes molecular friction in the water to produce the heat thus heating everything evenly. The stove usually gives a better texture 'cause it heats from the outside in and can give the nice sometimes crisp heat feel to it.

Me I just use the microwave for ease. Put it in, push the button, take it out, eat it.

Is there any other difference between instant oats and regular oats besides the fact that the instant oats are grinded down finer so that they can cook quicker? On the back of the quaker oats package they both just say rolled oats as the ingredients.

why do you cook them anyway? just measure em out in a measuring cup howmuch you want and then put it into a small bowl and pour some water in it thats what i do but i use diet green tea w/citrus.

Old Fashioned every day for the last 4 years. I LOVE IT! However, my son got me into Irish Oats. Not bad. Dont see the difference though.
