The community for all oatmeal and food pertaining to oats :)

Öatmeal.

It's cheap, it's filling, and it tastes amazing both sweet and savoury.

Share your recipes and your thoughts on this wonderful grain.

Protip: get the whole grain kind. You need the fibre. (it'll make the öats more filling too!)

OAT HULLS! HELP!

Hey everyone!

Long time oatmeal lover here…recently thought I made out nice by buying a big bag of steel cut oats at the market only to find out that there’s a whole lot of inedible oat hulls in it. Not only, but they are insanely bitter. I haven’t given up. This morning I made oatmeal and rinsed it first, skimming the hulls off the top, because I heard they float. I even blended the oats a little after cooking. I hate wasting food. There are still quite a few hulls……..i don’t want to give up, it’s a big bag…… thoughts and feelings??

Do you feel different eating a lesser quality or different type of oatmeal?

I used to eat oatmeal occasionally growing up and just revisited the habit and can't believe I left it behind. It's really fantastic!

I have started with Bob's Red Mill rolled oats, and I really do enjoy it. I haven't tried their steel cut variety. It also got me thinking...

  1. Can you tell a difference in how you feel from a brand like Quaker to Bob's Red Mill.
  2. Within the same brand (let's say Bob's), can you tell a difference between Steel Cut and regular rolled oats?

I'd love to hear your experiences and specifically what differences you feel, if anything at all.

Custard oats

How do we feel about putting egg in oats?

Does it actually give a custard taste?

Did I get a bad batch or do Old Fashioned Quaker oats just suck?

I bought a large bag of Old fashioned Quaker oats and cook them in the microwave. Every time I have to baby sit them to prevent them from boiling/foaming up over the bowl. And after 2 minutes they're still not even cooked right. I've literally never had this problem with any other oats. Walmart, Aldi, Kirkland, ShopRite and all the other non-name brand oats I've used have been far superior
