I just pour really hot water on it and let it sit for 5 minutes. Little chewy but nothing bad.

Just went to Publix and whoa bought Quaker Steel Cut Oats. I have always loved the taste of just about all Quaker products so I will give them a try. I love fresh peaches and agave on my oatmeal with a dollop of greek yogurt. YumYum.

They’re just as good cold as cooked. I take frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup of either rolled oats or steel cut oats, and soymilk. Then I take this to work and eat it about an hour or so later. Sometimes I’ll sweeten it with Agave nectar or honey.

You can prepare it at night before going to bed and it’s ready to eat in the morning.

I LOVE steel cut oats and Hate rolled oats. Rolled oats are too gummy and mushy, yeech! I tried organic steel cut oats (.99 cents a pound by bulk at our local organic food store) for the first time about 2 years ago and fell in love with them! Nutty, chewy and btw….you do NOT have to cook them for 30min. or 6-8 hours, slow cookers, etc. as I have read so many times on many recipes sites and blogs. That is ridiculous. All you have to is boil water, dump in some organic steel cut oats and as soon as you dump them in the boiling water just turn the water all the way down to the lowest setting, stir them a couple of times and let them sit on the lowest setting for about 10-15 min. then take them off the stove to cool, cover and eat. To make them even more heart healthy AND more Yummy add extra virgin organic olive oil and some organic ground flaxseed and/or whatever fruit or nuts you want to add. I like a teeny bit of salt too. Since I have been eating organic steel cut oats every morning my cholesterol, triglycerides and weight have become normal and healthy. I loves me some steel cut oats. The only draw back…is the gas. But it is worth it!!!

If you have a rice cooker with a porridge setting, this cooks the steel-cut oats better than a crockpot. Plus, if you use the timer, they are ready when you want them to be in the morning. Also, in the rice cooker, they stay warm for HOURS.

1C steel-cut oats
2.75 cups water

Important to use the ‘porridge’ setting, though. Any of the rice settings will boil over.

I put equal parts (2/3 cup) thick steel cut oats from Kroger’s bulk bins and water in a ceramic bowl and microwaved it on High for 2 minutes (pausing for a few seconds at 1:45 when it looked like it was about to overflow). It seemed very edible. Nutty, chewy, but not under-cooked.

I’ve not compared it to how it comes out after 30 min on the stove.
