Quaker 1 minute oats vs. Quaker Regular Oats?

[gza]

My understanding was that quick oats or 1-minute oats are simply rolled oats that have been chopped into smaller pieces, exposing more surface area and allowing them to cook faster. They are different from instant oatmeal, which has been partially pre-cooked. So the quick oats should be equivalent to the oats that people throw in their shakes.

While the topic is being discussed, I'd like to bring up the fact that old-fashioned oatmeal itself is processed. Whole oats are steamed and then rolled into flakes that cook in a fraction of the time needed for the unprocessed oats. So shouldn't we be decrying the consumption of oatmeal and championing oat groats or steel-cut oats?

How come no one has mentioned the fact that the microwave can destroy nutrients as well?

How come no one has mentioned the fact that the microwave can destroy nutrients as well?

that is true as well. but the real question should be: how come no one has metioned the fact that oats in the microwave taste like crap?

 

[Premo55]

Oat groats are DELICIOUS

And yeah, nuking your oats is not the way to go. Use a stove, people!

Peace.

Okay, I'll bite (no pun intended). I prefer the 1 min oats, and I boil water in a teapot, then pour over my oats in a bowl. Stir and let it sit for a couple of minutes, add raisins, cinammon, sweet&low or a little sugar. Yummy!

Sure the 3 min kind is less processed, but I'll bet the difference is negligible. Both are good food and are better than eating Cocoa Puffs.

Who cares what type of oats you are eating when you are putting sugar and raisens in it? I'd rather eat the Cocoa Puffs if I had to choose between the two of those.

The point of caring is so that you're not eating processed garbage & in some individuals eating processed garbage can really do a job on their physique.

%100 natural old fashioned bagged oatmeal not being cooked in the micro wave is the better way to go. It's better for your health & physique.

 

[Premo55]

Actually 100% organic OAT GROATS is the best way to go, but not everyone has 1 1/2 hours to spare. Personally I don't believe that there is as huge of a difference as some people are suggesting between old-fashioned and quick. If you have the quick, just eat the quick. Personally I like the old-fashioned simply because it tastes better and has a better texture to me. Like I said, I ate quick oats for a whole month and it made no difference.

Peace.

re-read my post. I was referring to the part about putting raisesn and sugar into the oatmeal. At that point who cares if they are quck oats or not, you have already added all that sugar. So that is why I sadi that I'd rather eat cocoa puffs.

 

[Vital Signs]

Yea can someone explain why regular oats are better then the 1 min?

Same reason that 15 minute rice, brown rice, or wild rice is better than the minute rice. The minute stuff is processed and already has all the vitamins and nutrients cooked out of it... it's nothing but empty bulk. It's just more convenient for those who don't want to take the time to cook properly. If I can wait 30 minutes longer for brown rice to cook over white rice, then I can definately wait 2-3 minutes longer to cook the regular oats over the minute sh!t... and derive all the good benefits it has to offer!

I think a little paranoia has set in. Are you saying raisins are bad for you? Live a little man!

My point is that life is too short to split hairs this way. If your busting ass in the weightroom and sprinting your ass off it ain't gonna matter a hill of beans if you had 1 min or 3 min oats for breakfast.

Plus I'm preparing for my kids too half the time so I make it appetizing for them.

Raisens have a high sugar content....sugar is, well, sugar. All I was saying was that if I had to choose I would go with the cocoa puffs instead.

 

[Akateros]

Raisins do have vitamins and fibre, though, which Cocoa Puffs lack, tempting though they be. A little sugar here and there, from natural sources, is not going to make your muscles vaporise and your gut expand.

I can't believe I am perpetuating this thread. Or that the difference between quick-cooking oats and regular could be such a source of discussion. Consider what most people eat; if you are eating whole oats at all, you are light-years ahead of the pack. Finish off the damn one-minute oats, with or without a sprinkling of damn raisins, and then go to the health-food store and buy whole oat groats if yer intent on being Pure and Holy. Then eat 'em raw, soaked overnight.

LOL, excellent post.

 

[timt]

so are you saying it is bad to microwave my oats?

 

[Akateros]

 

[BuzzU]

So, the only difference between the quick oats and old fashioned kind is that the quick oats are cut up finer so they cook faster correct? If this is the case, and it's this characteristic that makes the GI higher, then wouldn't adding oats into a blended protein shake be a bad idea b/c then you are really chopping up the oats finely? Would the blended oats now have a much higher GI then if they weren't blended?

 

[Akateros]

Yes. Just as cooking your food also raises the GI. Never heat your food. Never grind or process it. In fact, even chewing is not advisable.

Actually, I believe the quick-cook oats are also steam-heated; precooked, to a degree, as it were.

 

[DTOWN PLAYA]

Are there any good "recipes" for oatmeal..I mean, ive read on shakes, also adding protein powders...I cook mine in a microware w/ a cup of milk, then put a hint of brown sugar on it...im trying to get away from the brown sugar but need ideas on how to best cook oatmeal and add other ingrediants (cant spell it) to make my quakers taste better?

preciate it...

 

[LAM]

How come no one has mentioned the fact that the microwave can destroy nutrients as well?

because the amount of nutrients damaged by microwaving is comparable to that of other cooking methods, it's a moot point...

 

[Johnnny]

LAM you beat me to it. Cooking your oatmeal in the microwave kills the nutrient value in the oatmeal.

Your best bet is boil water with a kettle or cook it on the stove.

 

[klmclean]

What are steel cut oats and where do you get them? Who makes them (brand)?
Thanks

 

[Vieope]

Maybe that is an american thing but why do you all cook oats anyway?

 

[TucsonJim]

Instant has no trans-fat and so is much healthier

Is there a difference?

There are four kinds of oatmeal: Instant (1-min), Quickcook (3-min), Old Fashioned (5-min), and Steel-cut (20-30 min). There's no real differences in nutrition including fiber, only in the texture.

Mr. I like it détente "Italian" by undercooking Quickcook should instead try the chewier Steel-cut. The problem with health nuts is they're usually all nut and zero health. For example, vegetarianism / veganism is nothing but an eating disorder (and so like all eating disorders are mostly women). There's ZERO B12 in plants and so all of those not eating animal protein have shrunken atrophied brains. Then, there's a brain eating amoeba that can only reproduce inside domesticated cats. So, never believe anything a cat owner tells you.

Did you know sea salt has half the salt of table salt per spoon? It is because sea salt (or Kosher salt) is large and odd shaped so only half the salt fits in the same space - making it easier to eat less. However, does that make it healthier? Not in any way, of course not. Salt, fat, sugar, etc are all required for any kind of healthy diet. I once spent a week in a hospital. My nose started bleeding from the "healthy" salt-free food. Went away with actually healthy processed foods at home. One of the best recovery drinks is chocolate milk.

Most store-bought oats are rolled (steamed and pressed flat) instead of cut. ALL non-Steelcut are rolled: Old-fashioned, Quick-Cook, and Instant. Old Fashion are flaked. Quick Cook are partially cooked and dried. The only difference with Instant is being cooked a bit more. The misconception of less healthy is due to Instant Oats often being mixed with large amounts of salt, sugar, and flavoring. That's it. Because Steel-cut oats are less processed, they are healthier than rolled oats. But, that difference is really very slight. So, when nuts claim something is better ... ask them exactly by how much. The nutritional labels confirm Steelcut has 42% MORE calories (170 vs 120) with 1gm sugar vs ZERO sugar (3gm fat vs 2gm) in Instant. The "flavor" of non-Instant likely comes from the 2gm of trans fat. Many restaurants and fast-food outlets use trans fats to deep-fry foods because the desired taste and texture sells more food. Now, of all the fats, trans is the very worst. And, there's none in Instant.

Oats' main claim to fame is simply its soluble fiber, which helps prevent cholesterol from being absorbed - and oats are loaded with it. Oats are also a complex carbohydrate so they'll keep you feeling full longer but the same is true for eating protein for breakfast.

The best way to lower your IQ is from poor sleep. Before listening to anyone, ask if they got their 8-12 hours of sleep last night. It has been shown an extra 2-4 over 8 produces better coordination. LeBron James sleeps 12 hours a night. Andy Murray likewise sleeps 12 hours a night, when competing. Roger Federer says "If I don't sleep 11-12 hours a day, it's not right." Michelle Wie: "When I can, I'll sleep more than 12 hours, and I don't feel very good if I get less than 10." Steve Nash sleeps 10 hours and then naps every day. Larry Fitzgerald states "That night I get 10 or 11 hours."

One last myth to bust: oats are naturally gluten free. Remember no plants were eatable 10,000 to a million years ago - it's all been genetically modified for human consumption. The only "natural" breakfast would be a plate of cattails. If you want an all "natural" fiber, that would be tree bark. Yum! And, gluten (plant protein) is good for you and is required to make a muffin. Nothing is more processed than a gluten-free muffin. OK, there's one more food that's worse: almond milk. Do you know how many almonds there are? Five. Just enough to lie about milk coming from almonds.

Humans have BY FAR the weakest digestive systems - something humans inherited from Neanderthals, Denisovans, and a half dozen non-humans we've mated with over the years, who invented fire. We have evolved to where we can't handle uncooked foods. Humans get 800% more calories from cooked potatoes. So, it's not just meat we need to "tenderize." Microwaving does NOTHING special to your food. Ignore the nuts.

There is nothing more meaningless and proof of a nut than "organic." It's only contribution to the world is starvation because it takes twice the land area. If you, in any way, care about our planet, you need to stop eating avocados - most are grown on Drug Cartel slave farms built by cutting down 30% of Mexico's tree. 100% not good.

To make a case in a court an expert must first be qualified by proving their knowledge, experience, training, and education is notably greater than average. Always ask for a commenter's degrees and where they got them, what are their credential? What are their academic and work achievements, specifically in science? I've three degrees and have taught at the universities where I got them.

However, of course, that's not enough. Any "expert" statement must additionally be supported with a large amount of data and be the product of the scientific method. An attorney in court can only speak when quoting qualified experts as the factual authority of a statement is based solely on the quality of its sources. This is in fact required by law before one is permitted to give any testimony. Imagine, a place where overtly ignorant buffoons are not allowed to speak - a true heaven on Earth. This is how adults talk. You all need to learn how to research and stop listening to the nuts. Have you heard of diagnosis by projection, JoeR with zero sources?

 

[rcksmith799]

i am determined to get every nutrient. i eat them dried without cooking . . . coughing fits a few times, but getting better. haha

i do the old fashioned, boil water in the micro, put in the oats, teaspoon of Manukora Honey, cover, shower, then eat. typically works well

The Manukora Manuka honey i read somewhere that it has digestive, immune, and joint ingredients that help. Hmm . . . still waiting on that.

*** DANGER WILL ROBINSON: SCAM ALERT ***

The question (from the person who couldn't do his or her own Internet searches) was:

Quaker 1 minute oats vs. Quaker Regular Oats?
Is there a difference?

And, you made a joke and answered a completely different question nobody wanted answered because ... well, it's hard to focus with little sleep, the drug use, and skipping animal protein (and STEM classes), right? Just imagine if people spent as much time and effort exercising their brains as you do pushing expensive but useless drugs from a likely SCAM URL. But, no. <sigh> The domain name is new, but reviews are old ... not to mention the negative media feedback. Your pharmacy doesn't appear in the CIPA member database and is in Nabp's "not recommended list."

Below are the actual directions for Old Fashioned ...

To Make 1 Serving:

1/2 Cup Oats
1 Cup Water or Milk
Dash of salt (optional; for low sodium diets, omit salt)

Directions:

Boil water or milk and salt.
Stir in oats.
Cook about ***5 MINUTES*** over medium heat; stir occasionally.

Microwave Preparation (1 Serving)

Combine water or milk, salt and oats in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on HIGH for ***2 1/2 to 3 MINUTES*** - stir before serving.
