My family are scottish..we have been raised in oatmeal for many generations..some of the oldies prefer to make it with salt & water..I’ve made mine with only milk for over 20 years..this is the way I like it..this is the way I will continue to do it..I couldn’t give a toss what so called experts or chefs say !

Cook and eat your oatmeal however you like! Or don't eat it at all! This video gave me a panic For the love of God, it's just oatmeal! 😭

I'd like to see a study showing how undercooked oats can cause problems for people. Whilst I'm not saying it doesn't or can't happen, it sounds a bit exaggerated to me. Hundreds of millions of people eat Raw Muesli every day with no issues. The key ingredient for that is raw oats...

just got into working out and heard everyone talking about oatmeal (never tried oatmeal in my life) and i am about to throw up sorry oatmeal is gross

To stop with breads (wholemeal, rye, ...) I opted for peanuts and oatmeal (quaker, every day and maximum twice a day, since I have to fight against a terrible ease in losing weight) but I have two problems: I need to reduce sugar and I need to avoid milk as much as possible (my body doesn't like it anymore). But taking oatmeal without milk and with little sugar is really hard to bear because of a feeling that I cannot describe. So I had the idea of ​​adding a little salt (maximum half a teaspoon) during cooking and it works much better; it is totally bearable. Except that while reading I learn that the mixture of salt and sugar should be avoided for health reasons. So I'm stuck. I'm looking for what I can put in place of salt to have a bearable Quaker. I'm planning to try baking soda instead of salt but I don't know if that too isn't recommended. If anyone has any good advice, it would be really nice to share it with me. By the way, thank you for this share.

your suggestion of using less water would be a bad idea with steel cut oats

Me just ripping the oatmeal packets open and pouring them in my mouth just like that, watching this: 👀

Mix equal parts of steel cut and rolled oats. Soak overnight, rinse and cook with boiling water a little milk and some salt.I love to stir in plain Greek yogurt, sprinkle with cinnamon and drizzle with honey. Add any fruit you have.

One question: oats into the water at the outset and cooked makes it creamier, I’ve found, while bringing water to the boil first and then adding in the oats makes it less creamy but still good. I just noticed my Mom putting the oats in right away. Thoughts?

Best oatmeal I ever had came from England, in a box with the British flag all over it, can't remember the name. Was on a clearance shelf in local Kroger. Big rolled flakes and extra tasty like they were pretoasted maybe. We put them in saucepan with half cold water half cold milk and handful of dried cherries and salt. Cooked pretty slow for 8 or 10 min. Wish I could find them again.

man i'm eating oatmeal rn and it's so freaking good

[lindahardy]

It is not hard to cook oatmeal. Follow the directions on the Quaker Oats container and it comes out yummy every time. I add flaxseed, blueberries and bananas. Cook with milk and after everything is combined I heat up another cup of milk in the microwave to add to keep it hot! It is delicious!🙂👍

When I eat porridge or oatmeal outside, it always tastes so good. But when I make it at home, it tastes like baby food, can someone help me?

I eat oatmeal every day. 1 cup of water, half cup of oatmeal and teaspoon of cocoa powder. The oatmeal I use is 1 minute oatmeal. Is that good ? I cook it for 3 minutes. Tell me what you think. Thank you,
