Reply With Quotei'd stick with the old fashioned - not quick.
but did you know you can still cook the old fashioned in the microwave? done in just under 3 minutes. (be sure to allow plenty of room b/c they will swell up and boil over if there isn't enough space in the bowl)
Old fashion and quick oats are they the same?

Old fashion and quick oats are they the same?
I've been eating old fashion oats by Quaker...I was curious if the quick oats are the same thing, or should I stick with the old fashioned kind? The only difference that I see is that the quick once have a shredded look and they cook faster...I'd like to try them so I can save some time.....so are they as good as the other kind?

IMO the old fashioned tastes better. More consistancy than the instant.
BTW - I can't count how many times I've blown up my oats in the microwave. LOL

SpecialK....it's only 3 minutes!
The instant oats have undergone (is that a word?) more processing! Even better are steel cut oats

It's not really a time issue...I was just wondering if they were the same...the quick once look so much better...they white and fluffy...and I'm hungry....=( I guess I'll stay with the Old fashioned once....may be I'll be hard-core like the rest and eat them uncooked!
