I really like the way Quaker Quick Oats are processed. I have tried other
brands but these are super.

Oatmeal Porridge My Style

Quaker seems to have perfected their method of production which results in a great palate pleasing cereal.

One serving:

Ingredients:

1 cup Quaker Quick Oats
1 ½ cups of water
salt

granulated white sugar (optional...yellow or brown sugar)
ground nutmeg or cinnamon
cereal cream (10 % M.F.)... (optional...coffee cream (18% M.F.))

Method:

Using a small saucepan add a bit of salt to the water and bring to rapid boil. Add Quick oats, stir to prevent burning. Mixture will foam...avoid boiling over.

Boil for 1 ½ to 3 minutes.

Spoon mountain of porridge into cereal bowl. Add a couple of dessert spoonfuls of sugar and sprinkle with a bit of ground nutmeg or cinnamon. Pour cream as a moat around porridge...add more as is necessary. Enjoy.

Note: If you must use milk, use whole milk (3 ½ % M.F.)...if you have to use 2% or skim milk then you might as well not even start as the flavor will be forever impaired.

I love oatmeal but U can tell you that you would be much better off with
large flake oatmeal. It has so much more flavour than the quick cooking
oats.

I prefer the original Old Fashioned oats myself and they cook up great in the microwave. I've tried the steel cut oats several times but find them no better tasting than the origial rolled oats.

All steel cut oats are not equal. McCann's cost an arm and a leg, but
are nuttier than whatever my local grocer sells as an alternative.

I've been buying mine on Amazon and find these guys as good as
McCann's- at 1/2 the price-
http://www.amazon.com/Country-Choice...dp/B000KNB0OW/

[$30 for 6 30oz- vs $30 for 4 28oz-- not quite 1/2-- so sue me]

Cooking is a long process-- but it works for me. I boil them first
while I'm setting up the morning chores in the kitchen- then transfer
to a covered double boiler to keep warm for the hour or 2 that it
takes folks to pass through the kitchen in the AM.

Rolled oats are a good quick snack- I'll even eat them raw with some
milk to preserve the texture. In the winter a splash of my instant
hot water [180F] fixes them just right for me.

The steel cut are okay but unless you guy them in a bulk store they are
usually way over priced and the need so much more cooking. I like the
old fashioned.... large flake.

The steel cut oats I tried were McCann's, they were good, not great, so I went back to regular rolled oats.
