Best Oatmeal? Steel cut?

Same here...better texture, better taste, less processing.
We were out of steel cut oats, so my wife made regular Quaker Oats
"quick cooking" crap the other morning. Compared to steel cut, that
stuff was inedible.
If you look around online, it's not hard to find an oatmeal recipe
from the legendary architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. To me, it's funny
that he's known for his oatmeal, along with his more permanent body
of work :-).
We do a variation: the night before, 1C steel cut oats, 4C water. Bring
to a boil and take off the heat. Cover and let sit until morning. Before
serving, bring back to a boil and let simmer for 10 minutes. We'll usually
serve it with some microwaved frozen Maine blueberries. I'll usually also
add a pinch of salt while it is simmering, but that's optional.
