my sister is making rolls and we have no idea what steel cut oats are. can someone please help with this?
These are oat grains that are cut with steel sheers intstead of being put the a roller processing system . These are most favored for making true oat porridge . If you really hate preparing breakfast , purchase some of these . Place them in your crockpot over night with milk or water ( your choice ) add what you like raisins cranberries , nut other dried fruits turn on low . Breakfast will be ready and waiting when you get up in the morning just make the coffee or tea . My favorite is to mix in milk , shredded carrot , dried cranberries , b. walnuts and maple syrup . Note : contrary to my predecessor , these have more nutritiional value as they havenot been so heavily processed . Quick and instant oats are just a waste nutritionall speeking . Anything that must be fortified has been over processed .
It does NOT look or cook like oatmeal but is made from the same grain. It takes much longer to cook since it is a whole grain, and tastes very good by the way. If you hate the slimy feel of oatmeal, this is the one to try, with all the same nutritional goodness of oatmeal. You can find it in most grocery stores in the hot cereal aisle. EDIT: you are right Mnt. Camp, steel cut is better that the regular oatmeal.
