Steel Cut Oats

[stokerpam]

bring water to boil, add oats & simmer until you like it. time & amt depends on brand package. I slightly cover mine, lid ajar, because I don't like to clean oatmeal messes. Really good if you add chopped apples & cinnamon, leftover granola bits, cranberries etc. The denser oat grain of steel cut is supposed to give a slower blood glucose rise and not spike like instant, thus you're full longer & don't have a sugar spike then drop.

Microwaved oatmeal has never worked for me.

We love the "nutty" flavor of steel cut oats.

I would also like to get the "Flaker" attachment for my Electrolux Assistant, purchase bulk oat berries and start processing my oats fresh, as needed, for oatmeal and granola. I am waiting until I need to place another Breadbeckers order.

I use a brand from Ireland that comes in a tin canister-don't remember the name. I tried cooking it in the microwave once, didn't turn out well. It works better to cook them in a heavy saucepan on the stove. I like the nutty flavor.

I put them in a bowl with water at a ratio of 2:1 waterats and nuke them in the microwave for 3 minutes.

Yup, but 3:1 water to cereal. Cook for 6 mins. Add pecans or other additions as desired either during the cooking or after.

The ratio and time may be different because we usually do multi-grain cut cereals.

Would that be McCann's? I am still working on my last two tins from Amazon from when they ran their last special on them. Good stuff!
