Oats

I started using the Cooks Illustrated Overnight Steel-cut Oats recipe last winter and loved it. Basically, the recipe is to oil water, add steel-cut oats, leftist it on your stovetop overnight, and...

I find different oatmeal brands suggest varied flavor. I bought a supermarket generic brand and it just tasted stale and acrid. Sadly, I even find the good old Quaker brand to taste a bit off. Some...

I understand what the difference between old-fashioned oats and quick-cooking oats is, but don't know when to use what? When a recipe calls for just oats or rolled oats, what is it referring to? ...

I knew I should've learned my lesson, but I still wanted to give Quaker Oats another try. A year ago, I find their plain oats had got no 'oaty' taste. I then switched to Aldi brand oats and I've ...

I had a recipe that I'm almost certain was from Dorie Greenspan - the unusual thing was the recipe specified that you use quick-cooking oats - NOT regular oats. I know it was from a well-known bak...

I LOVE the Walker's brand oat flake and honey biscuits. I want to make them at home and went to their website to check out the ingredients, but need your help (please!) in the measurements. Thi...

I discovered McCann's steel-cut oats early this winter and became hooked. After reading here that steel-cut can be bought for so much less money at the health food store and that some posters could...

We love using steel cut oats as the base of our entrees. Do you use steel cut oats in savory ways for lunch, dinner, dessert or all three? Do you have a favorite savory oat recipe?
